Anyone going to pull the trigger on the SGP Modello Case? Appears as it was just released and at a pretty good price ($14.99).
Edges of the phone do not appear to be complete covered in their press shot pictures, but it looks thin and of high quality--used the ultra capsule on the i9100.

looks nice, how's the front look like?
I ordered one but I am in Canada so I am sure someone will post impressions before I get mine delivered.

I ordered the nocturne black and I have the pebble blue phone.
There are pics on the SGP home page. I see some better pics here though

Trigger pulled - like the look of this one. I've ordered the nocturne black for my white S3, will post pics when it arrives here in the UK if nobody else has by then
I ordered the gray for my pebble blue. I ordered a tpu case a week ago but the cutouts were terrible. I was disappointed because I always use tpu cases for my. phones. The sgp is a quality brand so I shouldn't be disappointed.

If they had a dark navy blue, I'd buy one.
I like the look of everything about this case, except the colors.
Black is good, but I'm bored with it.
If someone gets this case and has a full screen protector like Zagg/Best Skins Ever/Skinomi, please post if this case causes the edge to peel.
I really like my Skinomi Techskin, but my TPU case causes it to peel at the edges.

I ordered the nocturne black and have the pebble blue as well. Hoping this doesn't cover too much of the bezel as it does with my current generic "S" styled tpu case

From my experience with tpu cases and screen protectors, the edge of the case pin the sides arent a tight fit so it tends to rub on the screen projector

Just got mine in the mail today and I have mixed emotions about it. I got the frost grey for my pebble blue and the color combo is beautiful. What I ddint like is how slippery the case actually is and that it doesn't fit as snug as I would've hoped. I'm contemplating returning it =\

Hey Guys,
I've been very happy with a cheap Diztronics case, but the black is boring. I love the cyan lumia colour and have looked in vain for a matt cyan galaxy nexus case or any matt single colour cases really. If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks
Michael

Teal Androidified case? Translucent however.
http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/samsung/galaxy-nexus
Both of those are pretty good. I would definitely go with the Androidified one if only it wasn't translucent it seems like I've hit on a very niche case requirement. Might have to go with one of the custom case websites.
[Edit] this is almost exactly what I'm after but matt;

Thanks Srikat, That's perfect I'm not sure how glossy it will be in person but at $5.99 with free international shipping I can't go wrong.
I'll report back with some photos and my thoughts when I receive it.
FYI I've ordered a mercury case before and they are glossy with glitter.
I'll see how it turns out.

I have seen the Mercury cases in person. They do have a glossy and glitter finish to them or else I would have got one locally.
Too girly in my opinion.

Think they intended it to be more bulky and offer more protection. A bit of a turn off as I think their TPU case offers enough so I just hope they didn't over do it. Looks like a good case visually.

well their original cases arent exactly thin and on the page it self it says they are thicker than the normal ones.

I recently bought a Red Aluminium bumper case for my phone and it looks awesome on my phone just think about Red with Black combination. I will upload some pictures soon so that you can forget about buying a expensive case.
I have uploaded the pics and the last one picture shows it is red in color it is not pink. It is just because of the camera of Canvas 4 that the case looks somewhat pinkish.

I have this bumper case and and capdase silicon case. I also bought a back side skin from printvenue, actually I made it as I don't the feel of the back side and it gets dirty very easily.
I am uploading the picture which I used to create the skin. I don't have the skin right now as it is not shipped yet lets see when they will ship it to me.

I have a similar one. Looks great, but affects GPS and navi. And affects phone signal a bit. If it wasn't for the GPS issue I could have dealt with the loss of a bar or two.

Yes I am experiencing signal drops too I don't know why it is happening as few days past I opened the battery back cover of my phone I saw that the antennas are on the battery back cover not at sides.
I am about to buy a wood skin for my phone, you ever used skin on your phone as I am unable to decide dark wood or light coloured wood is best for black N5??
Both are nice depending on which you use. Dbrand is my first choice and for color, I'd opt for the darker one

No case is worth losing signal strength. Plus, there's no back protection.

Yeah, it looks good, but there are spigen and caseology cases that have a clear back that look great with a carbon fiber skin. And the signal isn't degraded with plastic.
Are there any rubber/plastic bumpers for this phone (don't want to hurt signal)? I never found any. The Google bumpers are just regular cases..
