Galaxy nexus Otterbox

Can someone that has the otterbox for the Galaxy Nexus post some pictures of it? I love otterbox for the Iphone but do not know if it will look the same for the galaxy nexus. Thank you.

would also love to see it.

It would be nice to know if they show the Google logo. Not to be picky, but I'm proud to buy a Google phone and would like to have the Logo visible like you would see on the iPhone.
Looking at the Nexus S, I have the impression the Galaxy Nexus case will also be a fail.
My comment is listed on the site, where I hope they will respond.

There's one listed on eBay right now with free shipping. Only one pic though .

The ebay pic looks like a nexus s though...

Here are a few of mine with an Otterbox Commuter. The fit is perfect. The volume and power buttons are easy to press and line up well. It adds a bit of bulk but i dont mind that.
I got the Zagg screen protector since the otterbox screen protector only covered the screen portion. The zagg is probably temporary since i leave on a holiday soon and it was available in stores. Its not too bad though with less orange peel than previous ones in my opinion but it does still feel rubbery.

Thank you, I think im definitely going to have to buy one! Has anyone heard of the Mophie Juicepack? It would be great if they made one for the galaxy nexus.

Thank you for the pictures; indeed it looks like it is the best option; as an owner of the diztronic, the incipio and the tough case I am looking forward to this one.
So may we ask where did you get the Commuter, since their site still has them as upcoming?

Please tell us where to get it.

I walked into a Bell store in Mississauga, Ontario last friday and picked one up. I was surprised to see that they had it in stock since the Otterbox website itself said that it was coming soon. The bell website says that they are available to order online I think. It feels great and i would highly recommend one.

can you remove the screen protector that's preinstalled with otterbox?

Yup, the screen protector is just a separate dry application protector. It doesn't cover the entire front face since its cut out to only cover the screen portion and not the entire front face like the zagg. I had it on there for a couple of days. It was actually pretty good but when sliding down the notification bar you would always feel the screen protector edge which was annoying. It came off very easily and left no residue when i replaced it with the zagg.
The actual case doesn't have a front protector, i believe the defender cases have those, not the commuter.
Regarding the zagg, it feels less rubbery now after using it for a while and i actually like it. I'm sure that the many options available online might be better and cheaper but i needed one right away and i think they have improved on them a bit.

Just walked into Verizon and they sold me the otter box defender and incipio double cover. Btw. The otter box works will a full body skin on it.

Where are you located? The Verizon stores in Utah are being assholes about accessories, lying to me when I ask for them.
"we don't have any cases or accessories for that device yet"
Liars.

I'm in Wisconsin. I walked in and said I was looking for nexus accessories. The guy was lime we don't have the phones for sale yet. I said I know, I just want accessories cuz I have one. Once I showed them they were not so impressed cuz I use it with att. The guy said we have them in back, let me see if they ring up. They did so they gave me all kinds of stuff to pick from. Got a dash mount for driving, screen protectors, a tpu case, an otter box defended, and a bad ass incipio double protection.

Does the Verizon's otter box fit the GSM version well? I thought Verizon's gsn is thicker than the international version.

Galaxy Nexus Incipio Silicrylic

Picked up an Incipio Silicrylic for my (GSM) Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Great form factor & snug fit for a Hybrid case. Its build quality is top notch as we've come to expect from Incipio. The case offers good protection & can handle most mid range impacts. I had a friend try it on his Sprint GNex and I must say that it wasn't a perfect fit. Even though most sites say it's compatible with the CDMA version.(It's NOT) but is capable of handling the extended battery for the GSM version.

Anymore pics from your phone? How's the silicone on the bottom part? Floppy? Sturdy? Does it collect much dust?

The silicon is actually pretty sturdy and it's not that prone to being ripped. I have all black version, and it collects dust like mad..

My Incipio Silicrylic with a SU vinyl decal. Loving this case so far.
Sent from my i9250 (GSM) Galaxy Nexus

Can anyone confirm that it can house the GSM extended battery?

it'll fit with the extended battery but it does leave a gap on the backside. I've had it since release day. the gap isn't very noticeable.

How much was it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

i just ordered the white/grey one straight from incipio and it was on sale for $17.99 and i got it in 3 days from CA to CT.

I have this case on the LTE verizon GN, and it works great.
I often use the official extended battery, though it is a somewhat tight fit for this case. As noted for the GSM extended battery above, it does push the bottom of the case out a bit, so there is a slight gap. Removing the battery cover will get rid of the gap, but I tend to leave the cover on and ignore the gap.

Anyone wanna buy mine? I like it but I'm changing to something else...might just go with a skinomi skin...$15... PM me if interested...

Hey, can you write anything about the screen protector or is it useless? I mean, do I need to buy another protector or can I use the one attached to the case?
Thanks!

Hows the lint attraction on these things?

The lint attraction is pretty much non-existant. Gets an A+ on that subject. As for the screen protector Incipio includes with the case. It's terrible,very cheap. I actually threw it out. But the case overall is one of the best I've used and I've spent a small fortune looking for solid cases. Incipio has proven to be a great brand.

My friend has this on her Nexus. I felt like it made it too bulky for my liking. But it's definitely a great case that gives good protection.

I bought the grey and white one which i really like. To bad the black one would attrack dust and lint just by looking at it to hard!

My GF has this case on the Verizon GNexus and it fits really well. Well made and the smoother backing makes it easier to pocket. Silicone does collect some dust but since its so little surface area, its not that bothersome. It seems like it would really protect well but I'm not going to test that out!

Perseus by Trident
So, I ordered finally a trident perseus orange, looks good, have heard that doesn't give bulk to GNEX and provides light drop protection. In fact there is a discount at tridenteer.com 25% and free shipping in the US, I ordered it to Poland and payed 15$ with shipping over the ocean! Maybe I'll make some review after I got it

i didnt like the looks of the s3 defender, and the ballistic hc isnt made for the s3, only the sg is, so i got a trident kraken online, then found this one in person

Ive had about two otterbkx commuter and its a good case my only gripe is the buttons.. Just bought this case today and ive been wanting it since i saw it a week or two ago. For $38 if wad a no brainer for me. Now my only gripe is the built in screen protector (which i might remove in a few days) lol.

i have a...
otterbox defender (traded trident kraken to xda member for it)
otterbox commuter
musubo
bodyglove toughsuit ( using it now)
and obex waterproof (gonna send back)
still love this case the best of all those
i really need to stop with the cases lol

Still living this case also. My only problem was the flaps and screen protector. I took out the screen protector and cut the flaps with a razor knife hahahahah

josh33_unc,
Just asked you this same question on Android Central forums. Is the screen protector on the Body Glove Tough Suit anti-fingerprint? If not how is it for fingerprint smudges & overall?
Also mentioned this on your Body Glove Android Central thread, my GF's nephew is being recruited for Alabama football.

Maybe you're referring only to built in screen protectors, I use Steinheil anti-fingerprint screens protectors (dry adhesive) on my Galaxy S (Captivate) and never have any fingerprint smudges. I don't think Steinheil makes them for the S3 (I could not find them online) so I'm having to order a different brand that is much less expensive than the Steinheils were and I'm hoping they work as well.
Would you say the fingerprint smudging is about the same as the Otterbox Defender?

The Body Glove ToughSuit is now available directly from Body Glove in black/black & white/grey but at full retail price of $49.99. It has got to be a short matter of time before this is on Amazon.
Going to call them Monday and ask about discount coupons as my local Walmart is out of stock...........figures with all the difficulty I've had trying to find a screen outward facing case.

Do we really need case for S3 ?

Hello,
ordered my S3 couple days ago. It haven't arrived yet, but...
I was using my HTC Desire S for two years. It dropped once from pocket height (due to loose pouch) and nothing happened.
I love the feeling of naked phone. No screen protector nor cases.
However, after browsing these forums, i have feeling, that s3 is the most fragile phone ever.
Do i need case ? I don't throw my phone at regular basis or drop them on floor. But do not want to loose my 500 € investment due to one unlucky moment.
I don't affraid of tiny scratches on my display or back cover. I just don't want my screen shattered.
What do you recommend ?

Its always nice just to have a case on your phone regardless. Like you said you just spent 500 bucks on it might as well spend a bit more to keep it safe.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

What do you recommend ? There are literally tons of cases available.
Some kind of thin plastic, thin tpu, or some hardcore case like UAG or OTTERBOX ?

I will always recommend the uag its a nice well built case I also love the trident aegis its a cool protective case . I had the otter box commuter but the rubber got all stretched and crappy.

I'm very happy with Otterbox Defender which contains a screen protector and a belt holder.

I really like the look of UAG cases.
Probably will order one tonight.
Unfortunatelly i cannot decide between Black (Scout) or White (Navigator). I ordered black galaxy s3.
What color do you have ? Does it catch fingerprints or "oils" from hand ?

No its a matte finish so you can't see fingerprints on it. It also doesn't scuff easy either. As for color that really up to your preference I would go with black because it won't stain but then again its all up to what you want.

Just bought one, the blue/grey "Aero" color and also the Rust color for the wife. These cases look outstanding after an hour of comparing.

Better safe than sorry. Tgis phone is very slippery. I personally have to have a case for grip at all times. I have the zoogue at the moment and im loving it. Not much drop protection but it would protect some impact over no case at all. I have black uag and a white aswell. They are kinda slippery too but not as much. Stay away of the defender case, it will stretch and its ugly imo.

The otterbox reflex is another great option. It gives good protection and great grip.

Samsung note 2 cases

Hey I got the att Samsung glaxy note 2 and I use a case that has a kickstand but I want to get an otter box but some people was telling me the defender is to big and to use the commuter or whatever its called any thoughts. Of the otter boxes for the Samsung note 2 will be much appreciated

look at the seidio convert case.
It gives you 2 cases in one. I've had mine for a while now and like it a lot.
The only down side is the lack of a built in screen cover.
The stick on cover is not very good....imho
But the overall case is exceptional.
I hate screen covers anyway, as I prefer the feel of glass....g

Well I wanted one with a built in screen protector but ill check out tht case too

I would suggest a outter box defender series its what I use. Haven't notice a loss of any of the features. One thing is it wont fit in all pockets.there also not bad price either. I've been very happy with my outter box

I'd go with the defender, I have it and im quite pleased.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

I have the Otterbox Commuter on my GALAXY Note II and feel that it is very well protected, the only thing is that the screen protector is self-adhesive instead of being built into the case itself like on the Defender series but I don't feel that it's necessarily a bad thing; some people don't really like the built-in screen protector on the Defender series as dust and dirt can sometimes get under it. With a self-adhesive screen protector separate from the case, you can swap out cases without a problem and dust won't accumulate under it.
In my opinion, any case that you consider should have a bit of a lip around the screen as it can help prevent the screen from coming into contact with an object if you accidentally drop it.

i have all otterbox cases..2 defenders and 2 commuters...the dust does get under the screen protector on the defender...i ripped out the screen protector on one defender and put an anti glare screen protector on my note 2 and put it in the defender and got the best of both worlds...good protection and no dust (so annoying)...i work in a warehouse so i keep it on the clip and couldnt be happier....the commuter is good if you still want to put it in your pocket and have overall good protection....try it u would be pleased...

I've got the Seidio Surface case and am ordering one of the safety glass screen protector for it.
I've owned many Otter box cases before and would not go back to them.
They are big and bulky and a pita to take off and put on IMHO. .
This phone is big enough already. ..don't want any additional bulk added to it. The Seidio protects it just as well and feels and looks better. .
