They offer several different ones, that look decent and aren't too expensive by any means. Just a heads up, for those of you who are looking for a new case. I'm probably going to order the fake leather one and the 'magnet gray' one as well.

I love how you linked the site while OP disguised his link
The leather one look cheap and tacky to me. These cases are nice but they don't seem to cover enough of the phone for me.
They look like the cheap (construction-wise) snap on cases. For $30, just get the Seidio Innocase. It's way better in my opinion.
Seidio Innocase II Surface - Black, Amazon
Black and other colors, Seidio Online
On Amazon I got it a week ago for $20, so maybe check a few times they drop the price every once in a while I think.
i got the same case that incipio made for $10 over at Fry's electronics

I didn't want this to be a comparison thread. I simply wanted to point out there are alternative cases out there on the market.
I'm really glad you pointed these out. I used to have a Barely There case on my old iPhone and these look pretty similar to that (I really liked it). I've been waiting for a case like this! Since Case Mate doesn't make any for the Atrix, I might get one of these. The colors aren't great, but I hate cases that snap together...
Thanks OP. Just ordered the magnet grey one. Will update when it arrives.

I'm ordering the grey one as soon as I get paid friday! I want overnight shipping, I don't care if I have to pay another 10 bucks to receive it, lol.
Yea.... they are quite nice looking. Not sure if i really wanna give up my TPU case though....
When either of you get yours.... mind posting some more pics? Would like to see what the inside of the case looks like, too.

Sure thing. I should have it tomorrow.
Just ordered the grey one, hopefully it arrives on Monday!
So can someone explain what exactly this case feels like? I don't REALLY get what a "rubberized satin finish" means... In the past I've used the case-mate barely there cases, which I like because they're not squishy or really rubbery and such. This pure gear case looks solid, but it says it's rubberized so I dunno.
And while I'm asking, what exactly is a TPU case (like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Argyle-High-Gloss-Soft-Gel-Motorola/dp/B004L2L6JM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1304100403&sr=8-6)
Is it similar to the pure gear material?

Just got mine. First impression is this thing is nice! One of the thinnest cases/shells I've ever seen. Just went into our QA dept to use a caliper and it only measures .86mm or .034" thick. The texture feels almost exactly like my old G1 did. Doesn't feel like it's going to be a lint magnet either. The grey color is a bit lighter than I was expecting too but not too light. It fits OVER the existing battery cover and fits nice and snug. No give in any direction at all. Overall I like it it so far.
I'll post pictures tonight when I get home.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is basically like a mix of a hard shell and a silicon cover. It's quite flexible, although not flimsy like a silicon cover.... and it's durable.... able to withstand quite a bit and still return to it's original shape. Actually recorded a video of me squeezing the crap out of one such TPU case that i got on eBay because of someone in another thread questioning the quality of the eBay cases.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=700ZNRtNEOA
As for "rubberized satin".... i believe it's basically a quite smooth yet soft feel.... not like a silicon, but not quite like a hard rubber case either. Hard to explain, really. If i had to guess, i'd say it might be similar to the Barely There case, but i'm not sure as i've never used either.
Here's some glamor shots of mine.
Hmm.... not too shabby looking. I may just order one.
edit: Just ordered the deep plum colored one. Only did ground shipping, as i didn't really feel like paying the same amount for shipping as i did for the case.... so it may be a little while.
Thanks for all the info guys! I always wondered what all these different types of plastic cases are. Thanks for the pics too, they inspire me to order one! Has anyone gotten the blue? How does it look in real life?

Thanks for providing the link.
At 9 squid, I took a punt with this case from Amazon, not expecting much:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006DUTNU4
I am, however, quite surprised. The leather is slightly padded, well constructed edged etc and seems a similar build to cases by the likes of PDair or Proporta. The only let down is the clip holding in isn't grippy enough for me, so I have tightened it a fair bit, which helps.
Looks pretty good for £9, but I really wanted a book style case. I've taken a punt on a black one of these from Korea...

Let us know what it's like - I'm liking the look of this case.
I am also quite interested in the case you purchased from Korea, please let us know your comments once you received the case.
Another case reviewed guys
Diztronic updated and modded their case and now came with version 3.0 . There are some nice changes like getting rid of the tpu buttons and putting a little more gloss.
Check it out
Thanks, Raul. Great review.

You mentioned this works with the extended battery, does that include the verizon model and does it leave any abnormal bulge. The high gloss case from verizon fits really nice but the speaker cutout has a small gap. With OCD its very annoying.
Excellent product from a company with REAL customer service.

+1. Great case and great customer service. Even if there's a better case out there for my need, I'd still buy a Diztronic case, simply because I want to support companies with old-fashioned customer service.
Ordered one last nite. Can't wait to see how it fits with the extended battery

Fits fine, loved the case...
I have to say though, after using it for a week I took it off, and I had forgotten how slim and light the phone is.
Going caseless now...
I couldn't find the Black Matte v3 cases on Amazon during CES. I ended up ordering a transparent black which I'm unsure if I'll like. I really wanted the black matte as shown in the video and seeing it makes me want it more.
yeah, the guys were at ces, but contact them im sure they ll help you out
I like the case, but I want one in white. Anyone has an email for them, or will I have to open a ticket?
I would love white, but I bought my GF a white TPU case last year and the thing is dank now. I bought her a pink one when I ordered my Diztronic case.
I'll see about the smoke gray. It might not be too bad. I like my SGP Black case now because I don't even notice its on. The black blends in with the screen so well it just feels normal.

You're right. I bought a white TPU case from Diztronic for my Thundebolt last year, and in a couple months, the color went from (somewhat) white to a ugly combo of ugly yellow/pinkish white. Of course it was a glossy version, so perhaps a matte white combo would work better... maybe...
Right now I have a Hybrid S-line TPU that I got for a buck from eBay, and I just love how the white rim of the case contrasts so well against the black face of the phone. It doesn't fit with the extended battery cover though, which is a bummer.
just bought one on ebay !
Thank you !
cant wait, just not sure how it ships to israel and australia faster than canada?
Just search diztronic nexus, only this showed up, bought the back matte
Anyone bought the following TPU Bumper for the Galaxy Nexus?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-BUMPER-...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item905d2ca610
How is the fit for the GSM version of the GNex?
Will the TPU bumper lift the camera lens away from the surface like how I suppose the front lip (which I hope is minimal) can lift the screen away from the surface when the phone is placed downwards?
How is the gloss like? Any other similar products with matte?
Are the buttons cut-out?
Does it add a lot, width wise?
Is the tpu rubbery? in the sense that it is sometimes hard to pocket?
Wow... lots of questions lol.
Crap, I just found a thread that has the same link. Thread title: "Best Case for Extended Battery $5 (Picture)"
Sorry if I accidentally double posted, my mind filtered out any threads where extended batteries are referred to since I have the standard batt.
Looks good, I am also looking for one.
but not shipping to sg
I ordered one of these. Should be here one day next month. I hate waiting, but that's what it is when shipping from overseas.

Mine was delivered on Friday. Very nice... fits perfectly and doesn't add much extra to the phone. It easily slips into your pocket fine even with the rubber which is only very slight. The buttons are covered with the rubber giving it a nice feel while protecting them. I got the black one and the phone feels very good in the hand with it on. Looks very stylish and still retains the GNex look while protecting it.
Hope this info helps. Only issue was it took 3 weeks to get to me..... only got the postal service to blame for that though LOL
I ordered 2 last weekend. My GNEX had been the first phone that I've gone naked with for this long and I'm loving it, but get freaked out of the thought of dropping it with no protection. Hopefully this is a good compromise.

I ordered my case from the op's link for my verizon nexus.
Case came in yesterday and overall its a damn good fit and feel for just $4.
Bought a white one but will probably order a black one as well.
I'll post up pics in a bit.
Got the case from the OP yesterday..*FINALLY*!!
I'm using the CDMA version with the extended battery and the fit is fantastic.
I hate having a case on this phone because it just looks and feels so great in hand naked.
This case feels great AND it's minimal enough that it maintains that sexy nexxy look and feel. Seriously, it looks great in person. Couldn't be happier!

I finally received my TPU bumper last week. It's definitely for the GSM version, though I don't mind it on my VZW phone. I like it a lot. But yesterday, the black TPU portion separated away from the white plastic section at the USB port area so I can't use it anymore. Could just be a fluke in my case though. I contacted the original seller to see what they can do.
I doesn't notice it in HK!

I have been wanting a leather case for a while. Any nice cases with a brown leather back?
Nomad doesn't have one coming yet. Bellroy does but leather looks kinda cheap. Anyone have any experience with them?
the only one is the Bellroy at the moment, with my old phone I bought a Pierre Cardin casa and they were great but I think they stop producing them. I think we just need to wait, in the meantime, I purchased the google official case, really high quality and I do not mind it for now
I had a Nomad case for my Pixel 3XL and Pixel 4XL and absolutly loved them. I reahed out to Nomad a few weeks ago and they said they have no plan to make anymore cases for the Pixel line.
Bellroy does make one in numerous colors. I have one of their cases on my 3XL now, they're very good and weather well:
https://bellroy.com/products/leather-pixel-case/leather_pixel5/black#slide-0
And... they are ALL out of stock.
Go figure. I mean the phone was released or is still shipping and ALL of their cases are out of stock already?
Someone needs to fire that guy.
I bought this leather case off aliexpress https://m.aliexpress.com/item/10050...babb145a9d29679b103W.jpg_640x640Q90.jpg_.webp
Brilliant for just £7 and it is genuine leather on a pc shell. The turquoise one which I bought matches the Sage green and looks damn good. The same one also comes in full coverage version but I normally go for the ones with openings at top, bottom, and phone buttons. The surface is also textured for better grip. So glad I went for this blind buy!
P. S. It's actually a more greenish turquoise, the picture shows more darker blue.
