and, I have the "dropsies", so I am looking for an Otterbox/Ballistic type of protection; anyone found something like that yet?
thanks
I just found one like it!
Its a belt clip on holster style case with a protective cover that stays on the phone.
I just ordered one. I will let you know how it is when I get it.
It was $14.99 with $4.99 shipping, and comes with a usb cable.
Here is the description, and a link to amazon:
USA Gear Impact-Resistant Hard Shell Case With Quick-Loading Removable Holster for Sprint Samsung Epic Touch 4G **Includes Micro USB Cable**
Sorry, but XDA would not let me post a link. But it is on Amazon.

If they make that for our Epic, I'm all over it.
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII EPIC 4g Touch on XDA Premium!
I got the black glossy Cruzer case from Amazon and it fits snug and tight...better than my Incipio case I purchased from the Verizon store. The case is nice and durable. The power button and 3 prongs are open and the volume keys are closed with a nice rough texture. The volume keys are very easy to use since they are sealed. I recommend this case to GSM Galaxy Nexus owners and the price is not bad at all.
I gave it a 5 star review on Amazon.
Here is a link...
Check out the other designs Cruzer has... Android print case looks pretty cool too.

How is the fit and finish, for lack of a better term, of the case? How tightly does it fit around the face and how are the areas around the mold seam?
I'm currently using this Qubits case and while it is quite good, it is not perfect.

I got black. I didn't care too much about the color though. I only use the case when I am in route from one location to another. When I'm at home or at the office I take the case off.
This thread is out of frustration really. I recently took advantage of a big sale that ZAGG had on and purchased two full body shields for my nexus. I have put these and others like them on many, many times, and it never seems to get any easier. There has got to be a better option for protection other than bulky cases, and ZAGG type, pain in the a$$ shields. Grrrr!

There is a zagg kiosk with a person to install in one of the malls over here in Vancouver. Check your local malls.
These things are super easy to apply. Just make sure you spray the phone and the sticky side of the shield. Any of your friends have steady hands?

Huh, well look at that...I searched a few months ago and I couldnt find any locations in Toronto (where I live) that did installs but I just did another search and I found some locations. I guess I must've not looked hard enough.
I'm actually quite good at installing them myself. I just think that despite being good at it I'm always left feeling a little let down with the product.
Also I could never bring myself to pay $7 more to have someone else out it on. They're expensive enough.

Just looked at their website. The carbon fiber look is interesting, I wonder how white CF would look.
Pretty torn between Ghost Armor or Zagg. Which would be better quality?
I hate Zagg so much on my old Vibrant that I swore I would never use a wet protector - horrible orange peel effect and really rubbery.
Then I came across XO Skin. If you are gonna use a wet screen protector, go for XO Skin.

In my situation cautious yes. I work in a really dusty enviroment and I use the case only in the workplace. And I got my earlier Sony's screen broken because of no case in the workplace....
I don't use this case in my freetime. It's just too bulky to have in your pocket and phone is a little more difficult to use.
There's couple disadvantages in the case:
- you can't press the powerbutton on the rightside. It's blocked because the hinges of the case are on the right side.
- I have had problems with the voice. I need to take the phone out of the case when talking with someone because they can't hear almost at all for some reason. I have not researched do anyone else have this problem and can I do something for it
I have also a bike clip for the case. I have not tested it yet (I have some plans to use the phone as a cycling computer in the summer time).
I'm little struct between this or Griffin Survivor (I have them both). Griffin Survivor is much better in almost every way (belt clip in Griffin case is really good) if you don't need water proofness but it's much harder to put the phone to the case and take if off.
Got this case to use on my bike: http://www.topeak.com/products/bags/smartphone_drybag_5_bk

Would an s3 with extended battery fit in this case, im already looking for quite a while for something like this but never realy wanted to order one because i am worried that it would not fit for extended batteries
Do these waterproof cases float? If no, what kind of depths can they handle? (I assume 1m)
I'm waiting for the otter armor.
Cruzerlite are trying to screw people over with their new Spi-force case. They are a cheap generic case that they are repackaging and reselling. You can get the case for $2.79 shipped on eBay. Essentially Cruzerlite are showing you what they are willing to sluff off on you at a 450+% mark up. Please do not support this company, It shows what they think of their paying customers when they will blatantly take your money like this.
The reason I take issue with Cruzerlite is because they are a well known quality case maker and now they are pawning this case of on you. And while it may have decent build quality, you are still being gouged.
Ebay $2.79 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Armor-Dual-...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item51b5c3c3f7
Cruzerlite $13 http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/lg/nexus-5/cruzerlite-spi-force-case-for-nexus-5

Here are others to show that this is just some generic make that people are reselling as their own. NOT CRUZERLITE'S

I received my cruzerlite experience car a few days ago and it's gorgeous slim and very week designed. I literally can't find anything to complain about. And it's cheaper than they brands like Spigen which not only fail to actually protect your phone when it drops but ate more expensive and defective. Sure generic non brand cases are cheaper, but this had always been the case. I believe that cruzerlite had been the only car maker for nexus 5 to release a skin and beautiful and non defective case. No need to complain just but a generic one than a brand name one...

The eBay ones are not knock offs. It is a generic make that has been branded by many major makers. Search the forums here and you will find this case made by many names. The Cruzerlite one is the same make and origin. They are identical so you are just paying for the Cruzerlite name which is not even on the case..

I can almost guarantee these cases are not the same. I've ordered cases from China and usually they use cheaper and thinner materials and the edges are rugged. You are paying 4x more but you get better quality, warranty, and faster shipping.

I have ordered cases from China too and everywhere else both OEM and knock off. I know a thing or 2 (or 67) about them. These are identical and that is why a minimum of 6 different case makers/sellers have branded them as their own without being sued..
