SGP Crumena Pouch(Black) Review

I'm not the biggest fan of pouches, but the Crumena Pouch has definitely won me over. I was a bit hesitant in how my experience would turn out, but it actually went surprisingly well. I will say that using a pouch is different then using a standard case, but it is doable. I found the Crumena Pouch to be high quality and absolutely superb and I can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a pouch for their Galaxy Nexus. Below you can find my video review along with high-res pictures of the case.
Compatibility: All Galaxy Nexus Models(may not work with external batteries)
Link to product on Amazon
Price: $29.99 (Black or Brown)

My Crumera Pouch rubs against my XO skins screen protector and scuffs it up. Anyone else have this issue? If not, what kind of screen protector do you guys use?

I use a screen protector with mine, but it's not like the XO skins with the wet install. Nonetheless, I don't get scuffs on it. There are times when the pouch leaves a mark on it, but I can easily wipe it off.

Do the volume buttons get pressed when sliding in?

Nope, not at all. There's a slight bit of space between the inside of the case and the sides of the phone.

Yes it'll work perfectly fine. It might take around a day for the pouch to adjust to the thickness though. You should be just fine overall.

Cyanogenmod Cruzerlite Case Preorder

I pre-ordered the Cyanogenmod case from Cruzerlite when it went up on preorder last month.
http://www.cruzerlite.com/preorders/pre-order-cyanogenmod-case-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus
The item's page states the preorder period would go through early December. Has anyone heard an update on this product, or done a preorder through Cruzerlite before? Just curious.

Update: shipped!

How has the finish held up on this case? I ordered a DroidCon one back in Feb (dark grey all over, with an android in a tux), and around the bottom, where the ports are, the outer layer is rubbing off, and is white. I loved the feel of the case, but wasn't super impressed with the durability of the finish.

I've had mine for a few months and the finish is still holding up well. I only have a few small scratches along the bottom of my case, but they are very difficult to see, since it blends in. I prefer the camera cutout on the androidified a2 cases (its a bit bigger and shows the silver border, the CM case covers the border) but this case has held up a lot better. Most of my a2 cases have stained, but this one is still like new. Cruzerlite has really improved their quality with this one.

Well.... The case WAS doing well... Until I took it out of my pocket today. At least the colors are similar so its not too noticeable.

Wireless Chargers

My dislike for charger wires eclipses the sun itself so I'm eager to purchase a wireless charging pad for my Nexus devices. Anyone have any experience with the ones listed on Amazon (can't post links yet)?
The Anker Qi charging pad looks like it supports the N7, but it's a bit expensive.

Verizon has an LG one that is only 39.99. I may give it a shot...
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

As Google went with a standardized Wireless Charging System (Qi), it makes it easier to find one that will be compatible. Unfortunately it seems that I cannot find any stores that carry chargers so I will need to look online.

I bought one of the Nokia wireless chargers . I'll get back when I have the tablet and test it.

My LG charger doesn't work at the moment (also purchased from the Verizon store). My N4 charges just fine with the charger. I know the LG charger is a little small but I expected it to work. I actually have two of the chargers and neither work. I am stock unrooted and updated to the latest build.
Any one else have problems with wireless charging?
Update: I exchanged my N7-2 at Best Buy and received a fully functional device. I can confirm the WCP-300 charges the N7-2. In my experience, it only charges when the charger is centered on the back of the N7-2, and you have to hold it there for a second or two.

I have an owlpad which works for the n4....no joy on the new nexus 7. I can find one spot where the light on the unit turns from green to red which means it should be charging but the nexus 7 never goes into charging mode...within 10 seconds the light on the charger goes green again.

Sorry for the pictures craptastic pictures lol, but it shows off the angle well. It sits even more firmly on the orb than the N4 (I'm guessing the glass back on the N4 just makes it more prone to slipping). The N7 doesn't slide at all while on the orb, had it charging through the night with no problems.

New case coming. Otterbox eat your heart out!

Not as huge as I'd like for a case named Ballistic.

Definitely the biggest case I've seen for the N5 - but if you like Otterbox, this one looks nice.

Impact absorbing silicone core
Ultra-thick corners
No-slip grip plastic shell
Durable rotating holster
Silicone port plugs to keep out dirt and debris

Definitely looks like a jobsite case, not a stick-it-in-your-suit-pocket case.
Not that that's a bad thing. Some of us NEED that bulky protection.

Looks like some will be carrying around a brick in their pocket. Kinda defeats the purpose of the sleek look and feel of the N5 in my opinion, even though some do truly need the extra protection.

Do not like this at all (and I love my Otterboxes). Currently I have tried the Spigens (OK build quality but none were keepers) and I'm using the Caseology which has good build quality and solves a few issues I had with the Spigens) until I find something comparable to a Defender.

As bad as it sounds this and work are the only reasons I'm looking for a rugged case. Otterbox has been my "go to" case but they're getting lazy recently with their commuter line and now not even having a case at all for the N5 is forcing my to go elsewhere.

I've owned many iBlason and Ballistic cases. In person, the Ballistic has always been nicer.

Is there a phone located somewhere in that case?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I've used several Otterbox Defenders and Ballistic cases, the Ballistic cases have consistently been higher quality and lasted much longer than any of the Otterbox Defenders. Ballistic makes excellent cases if you need that high level of protection. I don't use them anymore as I'm not climbing telephone poles and crawling under houses anymore, but I always had great experiences with them.

Trekcovers Gameboy case

I was wondering if anybody had an experience with trekcovers from Amazon. Here's the one I'm thinking about oredering http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GXKHV58/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?ref_=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_YyhXsb13Q1PAK there's no reviews so I wanted to see if they are legit

Yeah they appear to be a case seller. Don't know anything about them though. Showing pictures of the real cases would at least make things a bit better.
iTALKonline are also a case seller on Amazon, and I've had nothing but garbage product the two times I got stuff from them. I ordered a few cases from them for my parents older Xperia Ts. The cases didn't fit at all, the buttons were covered by the front lip, so you couldn't even use the phones... Never buy from them!
Anyway, even if they are a case seller, who knows if they're any good. I like those retro Nintendo designs though.

those cutouts are throwing me off. can't tell what kind of protection it'll provide.

These types of cases are not for protection from anything. The most it'll protect is from scratches. It's just to kee your nexus 5 from getting scuffed up and look neat at the same time.

These are pretty sweet, but I'm really put off by the fact that there are so few reviews of their other cases. Maybe once my SAND starts showing some age I'll try one of these. The price at least is pretty reasonable
