UPDATE:
I have seen a lot of questions about people seeing this case with out the lip portion which is on the top right of the screen. I just found this case on ebay which is half the price and does not have the lip.

Here is a White version I also found which looks nice.

Ballistic SG Case for T-Mobile
I just saw it on eBay and it looks like a great case for protection.
Here is the company's site with the standard S2. They haven't added our phones yet to their site.
http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s2-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case
Just recieved it today. I like the way it looks but it has a couple of drawbacks.
Pros:
1) Pushing the volume or power button is the best I have seen yet for the T-Mobile GS2 cases. Very fluid just like there isnt a case and the buttons make the natural noise that they make just like not using a case.
2) Seems to be the best protection I have seen for the GS2. I think it will handle a drop very easily.
3) I dont have a screen protector but the way this is designed I dont see how this case would cause any issues like the D30 cases do due to a tight fit. Its somewhat loose and should not cause the corners of a screen protector to lift up.
4) Has a great feel to it and adds some weight to the phone.
5) Protects the back camera perfectly.
6) It does add some thickness to the phone but this is because the phone is extra protected. I would say it is about 1.5x to 1.75x as thick as the phone without a case on it.
Cons:
1) The first layer is rubber and due to this fact it has a few issues.
2) Collects lint easily from your pocket.
3) Can be difficult at times to put in and out of your pocket due to the rubber.
By far though this is the best case I have had for a phone. I own a couple of TPU cases for the T-Mobile GS2 and a D30. It makes the D30 look like junk even though the D30 is a great basic case.It has some drawbacks but the pros outweigh the cons. I definitively recommend this case to anyone that wants the ultimate protection for their phone and doesnt mind cleaning the lint off everyonce in a while. If you like my review please give me a thanks.
just saw one too. didnt kno that they started to make them yet. their a little bulky for my line of work. and since im a student im not really in the situations where is need THAT Much protection....but do a review if you get one.
I ordered one. As soon as it comes in I will post pics.

I have to say yes... I'll take measurement tmrw but the corners are thicker than all of it. Its still not bad. Fits in my pocket n like how it feels in my hand ... I like the texture of back compared to the d3o.
To be fair, the rubber corners will pick up lint just like vibrant otter box. This thing is maximum protection...

Thanks, got one on order. This will be my 4th and hopefully final case for this phone, I am a fan of otterbox so I think I will like it. I started with the black bodyglove from tmobile, not a bad case but a pain in the ass to take of so I got one of the clear TPU cases from ebay and its a great case. And then the D30 came out so I exchanged the bodyglove for it, had to take it back because it fit like crap, the next one fit 95% better but is still uneven around the edges and for a $25.00 piece of rubber it should be perfect like the $7.00 one from ebay.
The first D30 that I got was from T-Mobile. That one fit perfectly, just didn't like the way how the button press felt. So then I also got a TPU case from eBay. Next thing T-Mobile gave out the cases so I picked it up, returned the original one I bought at T-Mobile store, but then the one I got from T-Mobile online, it fit 95% and was bubbling up my Realook. I was hoping for a Seidio case to come first but since I've heard good things about Ballistic case, I gave it a shot. Waiting for it to come in the mail now.

Oh yeah, that was the other thing, the buttons. Volume not too bad, power button was a PITA on the D30.
Got the case today and its awesome.
I'm not affiliated to this kick starter project but I stumbled upon it on YouTube today.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/enflux/agilis-series-premium-galaxy-s3-case
Looks like a good idea modelled on the GoPro camera system. Rugged case with various mounting options and from looking on the website they are planning lens modules to attach to the case later.
its waterproof up to 6'6" deep as well. Looks like a nice case.
Looks pretty cool. Unfortunately I will probably have a new phone by the time its actually released and shipped.
It's dimensions look a lot more "everyday use" friendly. I have the Obex and I'm happy with it, but I would like less bulk.

So what do you guys think? Has anyone seen one yet? I know its a bit pricey, but i really liked the bumper on the N4 and think google/lg nailed it. I am considering buying this one, but the black is not available. Does anyone know if it just sold out really quickly or if only the gray was available at launch?

Shows £24.99 and "coming soon" in the UK. FFS Google why can't you get the accessories to us in good time. The UK didn't even get the wireless charge dock in the end.
Can someone confirm this is actually available to buy in the US?
I wasnt a huge fan of the oem bumper for the n4, only due to the fact that it left part of the metal ring visible on the top and bottom of the front of the phone. It didn't quite look like it fit correctly.
I did however love the poetic bumper, it fit perfectly, it was a bit thinner, and matched the phone almost as if there was no case at all.
Amazon already has the poetic up for pre order and shipping date of November 19 I believe. I've got one on order, and will post pictures when it arrives.

I really like the look of the official cases especially with the nexus logo intact. I'm part of the minority and like the thinnest case possible like the rearth slim or spigen ultra fit. This official case looks like a nice compromise between the "super thin barely any protection" cases and the thicker "add too much bulk more protective" cases. Definitely pricey though.
I've had the spigen neo and was very disappointed. El cheapo imo. Rearth Ringke has been my favorite cases so far

No way I would buy that.
The image for the black bumper uses a GNex and does not really show anything about the bumper.
The image for the white bumper uses a Nexus 5 render without the bumper on it.
The description says it is for all carriers, including Verizon, on which the N5 does not work.
It would have been great to get an actual bumper case like the Nexus 4 had but I think I'll still get the official "bumper" for the Nexus 5. I'm a sucker for OEM fit and finish as well as I like how it still displays the NEXUS logo on the back.
The price is ridiculous though. I hope the carriers offer it in store when they launch the phone so I don't have to get ripped off with shipping as well.

I think it's difficult to make a true bumper for the Nexus 5 because the back is curved. Nexus 4, iPhone... Those are phones with flat backs. Regardless, I think the case looks nice, but is a bit pricy.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
the official "bumper" case is expensive. but i'm guessing the "nexus" branding is what makes it worth it to a lot of people.
if you cover up your phone with any other case it just looks like any other phone and not like a beastly nexus. but now your vanity can be satisfied with a case that clearly states for all to see... NEXUS.

wished google made official one like that but in RED!
The official bumper looks quite appealing, and it looks like it extends past the camera. My only concern is the buttons. In-house cases that the phone company comes out with are notorious for having hard button covers. Guess we'll just wait for video reviews on that.

I am looking for a case like the official bumper case.
Is there anything like that? I want something soft since it obviously offers the most protection during a drop. But the only one I know so far is that Cruzerlite Bugdroid, but that pattern on the back makes it look so cheap, doesn't work with the phone at all. I'd just like something minimalistic like the phone. The official one is great but since it's rather expensive I'm looking for alternatives.
Spigen Neo Hybrid. Looks great and feels good in my hand.
Stay away from the Spigen Silent Armor though. That one has many problems with the power button alignment
We're just gonna have to wait like we did with the Nexus 4 bumper replicas.

I have tried the Spigen Neo Hybrid in Champagne Gold. It looks really fantastic, the protection is very solid. It just added a bit too much bulk for my taste and I will receive the bumper case next week to compare it with.
Thanks for the infos on the Spigen ones! I am looking for something more simple though. They feel so overly designed to me, I really would like something completely minimalistic, just like the original case.
@FatalityBoyZahy
I don't know anything about the Nexus 4, so you are saying there will be clones of the official case?

Dont buy original, after paying such a handsome amount you will end up with a case which has not a perfect fit, which happened in my case atleast. The lower of the case is not hugging the phone unlike the other sides

Hello, so i found this on ebay ,removed link,
Supposebly it is the neo hybrid but very cheap one, nearly 3x times cheaper than it is on their official site. So i was thinking of buying it but then i saw i can choose colors like orange green etc. But neo hybrid in official site doesnt have these colors. So what can i make of that? The discription and everything shows it is legit, no mention whatsoever about it beeing fake. I brought Slim Armor in ebay aswell 3x cheaper than original cost also from spain and it came in perect condition, with everything how it was supposed to be. The spigen logo, paper code thing etc. But this one looks non-legit because i can choose those colors. What do you think?
what did you search to find it?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
There's a TON of replicas of popular cases on ebay. Often, they do offer different colors from the original one. There are people on here who have bought them with no problems. I think it's wrong for the ebay sellers to claim their case is original when in fact it isn't. From a moral standpoint I wouldn't buy it from a seller who claims their fake ones are legit. But, if a store does admit they're replicas I don't really see a huge issue. I don't think there's an enormous difference in quality. Just know that they aren't the original.

+1 to this. I've tried a few different models for a few phones. Some are surprisingly good...some, not so good. If you want the quality of the original then I'd go with the original ones from their website (comes with a serial/certificate). The replica's generally don't (and won't come in the Spigen packaging).
This one I got from aliexpress was a bit flimsy around the 3.5 jack ... And did you notice the white plastic keys instead of the real thing metalized keys!
But major issue was heat dissipation is nil (different materials?) so I stopped using it. Paid 10$ with shipping when I got it I would have said it's a deal compared to the 50$ real thing but overheating got me cold!

So I have been reading your replies here about fakes and replicas and I started to think that the slim armor I brought for 3x lower price than original must be a replica and fake too. So I went ahed and googled 30mp images with huge resolution of legit slim armor case to compare every milimeter with my cheap slim armor case. So I did for quite some time and at the end I didn't find anything that differs from the real case. Absolutely nothing at all. Is it possible for fakes or replicas to be so good that they represent quality of the real thing?

slim armor? you can just do one test, see if your slim armor came with any authentication certificate, original spigen cases comes with one, which has some authentication number that could be verified from spigen's website.

Yes slim armor and it didn't came with the certificate. That is why I thought I might have a fake or replica. But I can't find any kind of proof for it. The case looks 100% legit.

That is what a replica would strive for isn't it? People have mentioned the engraved lettering is different.
I think people are over thinking this a bit. It all comes down to the standard "you get what you pay for"...in other words, if you find a case that is 3 or 4 times LESS expensive than the standard price it's going to be fake. You don't get amazing deals just because and no company will sell for a loss.
I'll throw this out there, one thing you do get for paying full price for a real, actual legit case is support. I bought my SlimArmor from amazon back in may and just this week sent Spigen an email asking them if there was something wrong with my power button. After a couple of exchanges and a few pictures they are sending me a replacement TPU section, and I don't even have to send them back my original. That's some good customer service!

But major issue was heat dissipation is nil (different materials?) so I stopped using it. Paid 10$ with shipping when I got it I would have said it's a deal compared to the 50$ real thing but overheating got me cold!

thanks. I appreciate the fast response. I ordered the "royal blue" one for $7 off eBay with my eBay bucks to give it a try

It would depend on the price you want to sell it. I would buy if you sell it for less than 6€ xD. I already purchased neo hibrid for 10€ this week on eBay. As soon as it ships I will notify you guys here and most likely will post pics too. It should take some 2-3 weeks to ship on my location. If anyone is interested in the exact thing I bought I can post link if you want.
