Holy crap, thanks for this mate, I was wondering when they would be back in stock
Quality is ****,I think mine lasted a week before it started peeling,other as supporting xda would not recommend this case free shipping or not.
Tapatyping from my GNex
Damn...already placed the order anyway, when I get mine I'll let you guys know if it is any different.
are those sold in Europe or they should be shipped from the US
have a nice day

I got mine last week. It seems quality enough to me. I'm not sure what there is to peel, the color/paint seems to be pretty well on there. Maybe the guy with the peeling one just got a bum case? Don't mind the crap photo. Its from an old Pantech phone as my GNex is in the photo.

This is what people mean by the case peeling:
Mine was fine on arrival. But I rubbed the case the wrong way putting the phone in and it scratched it. That scratch led to the print peeling off. My friend that has it for his Nexus 4 even has the same issue.

Same here quality is poor and is too much hassle to claim a new one as I am in Europe,ah well at least I am supporting XDA
Just got mine today and I have to say it is a good quality.
Will test is this week going in and out of some different pockets and see if I get the same peeling problem.
Just from feeling it right now, it feels like a quality case, I also have the Diztronic tpu case which is great, but this feels a bit more premium.
One week in and the case is still holding up really well, I guess the guys who got the peeling problem may have gotten some that
were not supposed to pass quality control. It happens, so far so good for me, not a problem with it and people are asking me where
did I get that case

I wouldn't be so sure. Mine is just faintly starting to turn white at the flashing seam.

Nice! How does it feel in hand?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
feels nice and it has a lot more grip to it.
Does it collect a lot of dust?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Why would it collect dust ? never herd of any cases that collect.
The only problem with these type cases is the clear ones tend to turn yellow in a few months, the colored ones don't
now they have 7 cases, for only 17.99 great deal

Thank you Siberslug!
Just bought myself a case after seeing your thread. Thanks for posting!
My Vibrant gets here tomorrow, I'm even more excited now!
Welcome! The edges are more sturdy than the t-mobile case is, but the center is still flimsy.
It is also not nearly as sticky as the t-mobile case, which is a GOOD thing to me. It still has a grip to it, but it isn't so difficult to stick in my pocket (or pull back out)
I just received mine today...
This is the one I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Gel-Case-...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2a05dbdb
I was worried that it would be a loose fit but it fits very snugly on to the phone. You have to try very hard to pry it off, which is good!
It's more plastic like than it is a gel like material but it feels very nice in your hands. The feel of it will get smoother after a few days of use once all the oils from my skin get onto it.
I ordered it on 7/19 and received it today on 7/26 and paid $2.98 for everything!
Just buy it in TMO + the screen protector. Pfft. I spent 600 on the phone. another 40 bucks for a case + screen protector. is nothng.

Pop Case
Tough Case
Order: http://www.clove.co.uk/accessories/samsung/samsung-galaxy-nexus/protection
Where are we ordering these from?
I am also very very interested in the Barely there case. But I am wondering why the case doesn't show up on the case-mate store???
yep, i talk with case mate Distributor here (israel) and he is promise that he will have it here on stock in a week.
What does this mean? Will it be on stock within a week for...dunno, amazon.de for example?
dono, we have price list here,
the Barely There for 25.5 euro, popup for 37.5 and Tough for 40 (inc tax)
I'm a huge fan of their tough case, I hope they make one for the US Verizon version. The barely their case is pretty awesome as well if you don't need as much protection.
Expansys says stock due on the 23rd of December. Thats quite a wait...
Anyone know of anywhere with stock now?
www expansys com/case-mate-barely-there-cases-for-galaxy-nexus-black-225754/
PS Sorry about the link. Still not at 8 posts.
NO where from what i can tell. it's not even listed on their official site. just got back from oxford circus and there are no accessories what's so ever for the phone out
I'm wondering why the pop case lacks a cutout for the noise canceling microphone.
Has it even been confirmed that the galaxy nexus does indeed have a noise cancelling mic?
A quick google search doesn't bring up anything official.
I don't know for sure but I assumed it was that small hole at the top-right. The hole is there on the "Barely There" and "Tough Case" but seems to be missing on the Pop Case.
I haven't had an account here long enough to post links but if you do a google search for "RTR2STXJ" the first result will be a high-res image of the back of the Galaxy Nexus. Right where those cases have the hole you can see a small hole on the phone itself at the edge of the seam.
Just ordered mine from Clove + screen protector also. Wonder when they'll get them in

Which did you get mmcclair? the tough or barely there? I am considering barely there. let us know how you got on!
I've ordered the tough case from Clove. It's been dispatched so I guess they're all in stock and ready to go. I'll probably post a few pics once I get it.

2 mics are mentioned. This indicates noise canceling (otherwise, why 2 mics??)
This is the landing page for the LTE version, but I don't see why the GSM version would suddenly not have 2 mics.
Besides, noise canceling is a pretty basic feature on modern phones.
I wanted to order the barely version but stock are not in as of yet, checked quite a few UK sites who are all awaiting delivery.
So I ordered the Flexishield number as an interim case.

if anyone knows where i can buy it >.>(cant read chinese) please share link lol
Nvm, Found it
http://mobilemate.yetaa.com/samsung/nillkin-samsung-epic-4g-touch-d710-protective-case.html
Looks kinda nice. Might get one myself, price isn't too high.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
sweet! exactly what I was looking for. I have one of these on my g2x. adds no bulk. wont protect the phone if dropped but will protect the back and bezel from being scratched. also the edges are raised so you can place the phone face down.
This may be a better buy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sprint-Sams...main_0&var=&hash=item64208fc095#ht_3259wt_917
Its the same type of case, just a couple of very minor aesthetic differences. When you consider shipping, you can buy 5 of these eBay ones for the price of 1 of one of the Yetaa.com ones, and have 44 cents left after.
AMERICA.
I've had something similar in the past. ended up cracking after a week of daily removal. never had that problem with the Nillkin. maybe others have had better luck with them.
i bought 2 a black and a red
i think i may have made a mistake ordering black -__-

How does the case feel?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Hard, decent grip. More grip than those shiny hard plastic cases but nowhere near as much grip as rubber (obviously). Overall I say it feels good. Edges are all round so holding wont get uncomfortable during extended usage.
sorry to bump this thread but im wondering if "mobilemate.yetaa" is a trustworthy site to buy from? found a case for my n9 that is usually about 13-20$ and its like $6 on that site. see,s supsicious a bit
from the post above it looks like one of you bought a case from the site?
edit: its the same price as the one in the op "http://mobilemate.yetaa.com/nokia/nillkin-nokia-n9-00-n9-protective-case.html" its around $20 on ebay
I bought the red case from Yetta two weeks ago. its supposed to come in today according to the tracking information. Ill post with an update on what it looks like.
Update. I just got it and its NICE. Took two weeks for it to arrive but im loving it. Ill probably get the black one now too.

Looks like a good option, though it looks like you could get it for $5-$7 less, for example: http://www.amazon.com/Holster-Samsu...2&sr=1-2&keywords=galaxy+s3+holster+kickstand

I really like the concept. I especially wanted something like this on the Samsung Galaxy Note, as it was rather big and hard to handle with one hand. Always feeling that you could drop it while trying to stretch your fingers over to reach and loosen your grip on the phone.

Got mine yesterday and I like it. Great case for $6.99 shipped. Looks nice, decent protection, and the kick stand works well. The only thing I don't like is that the back gets even hotter while using for an extended amount of time. Seems like the case covers too much and there's no place for the heat to flow.

Does it leave the top and bottom edges exposed? Obviously, it looks open, but does any of the case protrude up?
I have not recieved it as of yet but open on top and bottom might be issue for me might get a TPU

Yes, it leaves it open. I've used my ear piece and my usb cable with no problems.
I bought the case for my GS3 and it works very well. Easy on, easy off.
No problems so far with my Xtremeguard screen protector. And dust in the case hasn't been a problem even though I work construction.
I never knew about the "sure grip" feature that the kickstand doubles as! I will be using that for sure.

i got it today and i love it pretty good case for under 20 bucks
My friend was really obsessed with putting his phone on a bike mount he kind of setup himself, and he had a couple of growing pains where the assembly that it was clipped two fell off the bike TWICE today.. He has the same INCIPIO case that I do. Anyways I thought i'd post all these pictures for anyone considering the case or anyone just wondering how certain cases hold up to certain things.. Now again it had half the mount still attached to the phone when it fell which probably added a little extra weight and each time it fell it landed on a different corner. The cases corners appears to have cracked so it did its job, but on one corner (not sure if it was the first fall or second fall) the phone does appear to have formed some hairline cracks in the corner of the phone (why they didnt make that small band around this phone metal is beyond me!)
You can barely see them but they are there.. His screen was still fine (thast what matters) and the phone stil functinos perfectly, so thats a testament to the case i'm sure, but I'm already looking at some others.. without further ado, here are the pics.

Screen is fine tho
and that is why we use cases. better to break a cheap case, than a 600 dollar phone.

Episode 4: Torture testing the Samsung Galaxy S3:
http://cnettv.cnet.com/episode-4-to...-1_53-50127620.html?tag=api?tag=mobile_social
Three drops without a case, and S3 keeps on ticking (on top of freezing, heat, dunk in water tests.)
Third test was a 7~8 foot drop (again with no case) and it survived.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Case did its job, but get a case for drop protection make sure it can be reused in the same situation again. Otterbox defender, trident kraken, ballistic sg maxx.
I have the kraken and dropped it a dozen times and tossed out at people (who can't catch), case and phone still look brand new.
Sent from Pluto.
doesnt exactly bode well for the case
if 2 drops damaged the case pretty badly and still managed to damage the phone then I wouldnt trust it anymore
time for an otterbox defender
