Sorry for the double threads but I figured this will be better to get opinions. Can everyone say their favorite case for the lte version gnex? Pictures would be great. Also is it a dust magnet? My last case actually scratched my phone a lot by drawing dust into the case.

That's a great work case I'd imagine. I can't seem to find a nice small case
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Unfortunately it seems that the case makers jumped on the gsm version and assumed the lte version would be close enough.
Even with its problems, the ultra hybrid is still my favorite. It's pulled away a touch at the top and the back does get a little loose when hot, but it's not really that bad. I like how it doesn't have cutouts for the buttons, which I like. It feels the least like a case of any I've seen.

I have this case/holster. it does have a ratcheting clip on the holster btw. anyway what I was gonna say is regarding the screen protector. I had a screen protector on my phone before getting this case. I tested out the screen responsiveness with the ballistic SP over my SP and it suffered badly. So i chose not to use it. Maybe I will try to remove my SP and try the ballistic SP on it one day.

This case is great,
Cons: Smells horrible, Smells like petroleum (which it is made of) if the phone is a foot away from me it is very potent.
Needs a kickstand.

My maxx case came in the mail the other. I put it on right away just to find out the hard back cover doesn't stay on the rubber case. That sort of got me upset. Even the screen cover layer was a bit deformed. It was concave inward, not straight. Anyone else had a similar experience?

Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
Its great. It's thin and durable (I use it without the optional outer rubber layer). Covers the ports of headphones and charger. There are also plastics films to protect the camera lens and flash lens. Only annoying hindering aspect would be the power button and home button. You need press with a bit of force. Taking it off is a hassle too, but I knew that when I purchased it. I popped off the built in screen protector since I have a zagg hd on mine, so I can't comment on that. It feels great and the kick stand isn't flimsy. Overall it is a great product.

Is otterbox the best case maker??
Inopportune I bevieve its a bit of a toss up between otterbox and trident...I currently have a otterbox commuter glacier on my s3...but have had a Trident kraken on a previous phone ...the otterbox I have now is nice I like it alot and doesn't add much thickness the kraken I had was a brick but I liked it both offer good protection

Define "Best" there are MANY different "BEST" cases out there... check out my review of Otterbox Defender in Atomic color. I love it, but some might hate it.
I get a lot of compliments from people about the funky color...
Honestly, if you're looking for a case that can offer a great protection from almost everything but water... look no further. Otterbox has been manufacturing quality and very well designed cases for many years. Also, if you get it from amazon, you save about $20. just my two cents!
Like someone else said, "best" is cometely objective. My best may not be your best.... However, I prefer the Ballistic SG Maxx. If you search the accessories forum you'll find a mini review i did with some pics.

It's bold yes, but I don't think screen protectors are necessary. Cases yes. But a screen protector won't stop your screen from cracking or shattering if dropped, it'll help stop scratches. But gorilla glass is design to resist most scratches already.
My over 2 year old epic's screen still looks brand new. Even after drops and kicks...Just my personal opinion.
Kinda glad the trident kraken doesn't come with a built in one.

People who say the built in screen protector pops out i think have another protector on under it. Me and my gf both have the defender but had ivisor screen guards on the phone also. The screen popped up off the screen bc the case was designed for the phone with no accessories. We took the screen guards off and the case fits PERFECT

Why no mention of Seidio cases? I have been using their cases for my last few phones and they are great. My GS3 case has a magnetic metal kickstand and looks nice. It also feels well protected. I don't use a screen protector though as I also prefer naked. Personally, I think screen protectors offer a false sense of security on modern gorilla glass screens.

Problems with Zagg
I am on to my second Zagg screen protector and it is still not right. I got both installed by Zagg at the mall. They looked great for a couple weeks but then look like they have snags in them. Am I just really hard on my phone or is anyone else having this issue?

The best way I've found to install the screen protectors is by spraying the phones screen, then spray the top of the shield, your fingers, peel it off the backing, and then spray the adhesive side of the shield. It'll give you plenty of liquid to position the shield and since your fingers are wet it won't stick to you/leave your fingerprint on the screen. When using the squeegee on the HD shield spray that as well and use very short strokes starting from the center working your way out. They're thicker then the regular ones and can get very small bubbles under them that are hard to get out without causing a run in the shield.

me too. love it
I have a Zagg HD on mine and hate it.
That being said it is the best protector I have tried, and have ended up using Zagg protectors on my s1, s2, s3, tab 8.9, tab 10.1, and nexus 7.
I hate the plasticy feel, the orange peel, and the fact I rarely have one make it longer than 4 or 5 months before needing replacement.
Again on the plus I have never had a single question or problem when getting it replaced.
My verdict is this;
I hate screen protectors, but they are nessessary. Zagg makes one of the, if not the best one out there, their customer service and product support is excellent.
try the XOSkins screen protector. Way better without the orange bs.

Yea I know what you mean many of my friend's didn't know I actually had a screen protector on since it looks real clear and real good one of my friend just got his GN2 today I just came from his house he envy my screen protector so he's thinking about trying it out. Idk but me I dont like to keep switching screen protectors constantly so thats why im trying this ghost armor see how long it will last me. The cheap sprint SP lasted only a week it was full of scratches from the s-pen and it started to annoy me when I lookbst my screen to view the web or videos I would see all these scratches on the SP so I just decided to try ghost.

I bought a few cheap ones online, but with my gel case, the edges of the screen protector are lifting up (from squeezing the case).
Do some of the other brands hold their edges better? Or do some wrap around the side?
I guess I could trim them, but I know I won't like the look after.
