appreciate the link. mind posting a pic of it action? not sure what you/they mean by rear cover shell that you didnt install. pics would help many im sure

The middle pic, flat and solid with the clip, which is the part that covers the screen, is what remains. The pic on the right, with holes for the camera and kickstand, is left behind as it wont fit over the big battery. Pics in a bit...

That's not too bad, and with invisible shield applied to the back of the phone you would be doing pretty well. I purchased one of the generic invisible shield kits at Best Buy and cut out parts to cover the extended battery and the top of the phone. Looks decent.

Well that's not really a confirmed case, but I can dig it.
I was going to just get one of those gel skins and cut a hole for the battery. I'm more worried about dropping it and damage that way than just a place to hold it.. I have soft pockets LoL

They sell these at bestbuy you can go in, open the package make sure it works etc.

i will be happy also once some cases come rolling out, hopefully soon

My Solution
I used/modified the high gloss silicone cover (VZW part VZW6400SILHGBLK) AND the holster that came with Platinum Series case/holster combo from Best Buy. It's similar as the Seidio Innocase II except is has Pt letters on the back.

I ditched the Platinum case (for sale) and just use the holster. It works pretty good and the battery doesn't stick out that bad.
More info about the case here

Pictures below:

That is exactly what I am doing tonight. I ordered a couple of the Amzer TPU cases off of ebay form a US reseller for $3.95 each, so I got two with USPS First class mail shipping for $10.40. They should arrive in the next day or so. I also have another case I am going to modify.
One thing I also did was cut a piece of the invisible shield protector and applied it to the back of the battery door so it looks glossy and protects the back from getting scratch to hell.

I was going to get an amzer silicone case and cut it up like i did for my incredible...i might go with the harder rubber one from verizon so it will hold its shape better....worried he silicone will be too thin with the battery and camera positions...

[REVIEW] Case-Mate Barely There (Metallic Silver)

I purchased the Silver Metallic "Barely There Case" last week. Shipping was great - arrived in one piece.
The first thing I noticed is the color. The picture shown is nothing like the color you get. I personally am actually okay with that. The color you get is more of a black chrome finish. It's shiny/glossy but NOT a chrome like finish as the pictures would suggest.
Here are some pictures. (Pictures of case ON phone were taken with Droid Charge the ones off the phone were with the Thunderbolt)
The overall fit of the case is great. The case fits all the curves of the phone. The problem I've noticed is the left side of the case "bows" out. Maybe this is a simple defect, who knows. Regardless. If you hold it from both sides you can feel it move which also causes it to make a very slight, yet annoying noise.
Overall, it seems like a decent case. Not sure if I'd recommend it at this point however.
Sorry if this isn't that helpful as I can't say I've ever done a case review before. I will admit I am a complete case whore though. I hope vajacases makes a Thunderbolt case!

I just ordered one of these off ebay in black. I hope it's not bowed, so that the phone doesn't move around inside the case. That would definitely annoy me.

Well let me clarify... The phone doesn't move around in the case. The case itself just isn't a tight enough fit so you can actual feel the case change shape.

I've got the black one at work, don't remember it moving around in the case, or it being loose, but I'll try to remember to check it tomorrow and report back.

thats pimpin'

I noticed that when the Barely There case was on, the fit wasn't perfect around the volume buttons, and it did make a tiny bit of a noise when it was gripped around that area.

I grabbed a black one and love it. Sure, it doesn't provide full protection that some cases do, but the 'barely there' name is totally legit. I can't stand cases and I barely notice this one. Case is pretty good but the seam was coming apart on one corner, emailed Case-Mate and they are sending me out a new one. Great customer support! I would recommend this case to anyone who is looking for a little extra protection without making an already large phone, giant... Check out the pics I tried to show just how thin it really is. Oh and ignore all that lint...

Luxury Hard Plastic & Metal Cover Case Samsung Google Galaxy Nexus

I saw this within other posts but I didn't see that it had it's on thread so I'll post some pictures of it...
I bought this off ebay for $8 shipped. As you could probably figure out by the price it's definitely not metal, but rather all plastic. The metal finish back portion looks like some sort of thin aluminum brushed metal sticker and you might not be able to tell by the photos but the writing on the back is elevated and not flush against the backing and kind of "scrapy".
It actually fits really really well, almost as if a second skin, but it's a finger print magnet and theres no hole for the 3pin.
For $8 it's not bad as a backup case but you get what you pay for, but it's not too bad.

Does this work with NFC? How about cell/wifi/other radio signals?

Just to be clear this thing is plastic and not metal.
I don't know about NFC because I never use it or have anything to test it with.

Do you have an extended or normal battery?

I got mine in the mail the other day, ordered from here ("DELUXE" instead of "LUXURY" ): http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290671148814
I got the black one, like backspacr, but this seller has other colours (silver, pink, blue, red) available as well!
The case fits my GSM/HSPA+ model with a normal battery perfectly, though it can be a little creaky if you push on the tiny strips of plastic just over the volume and power buttons.
The plastic itself isn't black, but a darker, glossy shade of the Galaxy Nexus plastic, making it quite complimentary where the ends sticks out. I believe there is some metal plating on the "brushed" black backplate, as it feels cool to the touch most of the time. The whole thing feels quite good in the hand.
I was originally interested in it since it retained the branding, and unfortunately it's bevel out instead of bevel in, but that doesn't take away too much from the appeal.
No effect on cell signal, with wifi taking a bit of a hit (5-10 dBm), which causes some throughput issues, as I've noticed choking on video streaming when I'm at the far end of my house. As for NFC, I'll update this once I get it back from warranty replacement for the screen defect.
Overall a pretty good case, especially for the money, though I wouldn't get it again due to the effects on wifi throughput.

...And it completely blocks NFC. Terrible. Guess I'm in the market for a new case...
Edit: Perfect for NFC - Anymode Cool Case. Very nice in black.

$1 case lol

*$1.37
I bought 2 because why not. My expactations aren't high but they actually look decent.

Thanks for sharing. In for one as a backup.

Thanks. Just order 2 (-:

let us know how they are...

I've also ordered one, will post pictures/review as soon as it arrives

Came in yesterday. I'm pleasantly surprised with it all around.
Has a nice metallic color to it with a rubbery texture, fits well, nice and slim, though it's like .05 mm too thick to fit in my dock. Doesn't interfere with my Nillkin tempered glass protector.
It had a gnarly smell at first... It's much better now after 24 hours, but if you put your nose right up to it you can still smell it. Should wear off soon

Nice, thanks for sharing!
I ended up ordering a pouch instead of a case. In India I could order it online for roughly 5 usd
Its pretty good quality, phone fits well. So now I don't have to worry about scratches in my pocket or in the car cup holder.
It has a flap at the back for pulling out your phone which I thought I would cut off but I actually end up using it sometimes. I've attached a pic with the strap fully pulled out as well.

I ordered 2 of these a few days ago. Yeah at that price, it's a no brainer. Scratch protection at least.

I noticed when I lived in Germany that my chinese purchases would take well over a month to arrive, compared to 2-3 weeks in other EU countries. Packages would arrive at my door all at once, even though they were sometimes ordered weeks apart. I think what happens is china packets get stuck at German customs for a while. So that might have something to do with the seller's shipping restrictions - avoiding the hassle.
Here's the same case, albeit for twice the price ($2.60...), but you have more colors to chose from and looks like they ship everywhere: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/10-C...ony-Xperia-Z3-Mini-Z3-Compact/2041321566.html
Here's an even cheaper case: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/limi...-Sony-XPERIA-Z3-Mimi-Compact/32224263790.html

Case for Razr 5g

I ordered a case from Otterbox after a chat session. They told me it would fit this newer version of the Razr. Well guess what..... it didn't fit. Trying to find a case for this phone is impossible. Motorola has as very expensive leather one on their website but its not available to buy anyplace. Anyone find a case for this phone?

I just got the phone myself over 36 hours ago. Give Spigen time to come up with a case

No skins either. Accessory market as quiet as this community...

CaseMate Tough Clear
I didn't want to wait to use my Razr 5G without a case, so I ordered this one for now...

I tried to order that clear case, but it said it would take about a month to get, so I went with the casemate case that T-Mobile is selling direct from their website and got it in 2 days.

I ordered one of the leather cases that come up on amazon(not pouch), the casemate from t-mo, and the evutec s-series. All ordered on thursday 10/15 so far amazon says its getting shipped, tmo has bee completely silent, and evutec has a tracking link which makes me nervous considering the site said its a pre order... will update with whichever one shows up and when.
Downshift mind adding pics of phone in the case?

How's the Case-Mate fitting for everyone? I got a black one from T-Mobile and it comes off half the time I open my phone.

same here...

I ended up getting the CASE-Mate clear one direct from Case-Mate, and have the same problem. I contacted Case-Mate about it, they asked me to email them a picture of the case fitment. They offered a refund or replacement. I took the former.
I find the case to "dense" thick on the phone, more than it needs to be. What I would improve on it, is to thin out the entire case by approximately half, and leave the "impact" prone areas the thickness that is on there now (the nose of the phone).
The part of the case that covers the smaller display relies on the volume control buttons as a source of retention, and the plastic is weak in that area and gives way. I have not used other cases to date to see what other case manufacturers are doing to keep that part of the case in place. *That is the flaw of the front case cover design, and I think Case-Mate knows about this.

The only 'case' I'd be interested in putting on this phone is maybe a rubbery vinyl skin to protect from surface scratches and keep it from sliding off smooth surfaces.
Everything else seems too bulky... Not that there are many options. Nor are there any skin options anyway.

Well, got the evutec case, here's a pic, I'll start a separate thread to fully discuss it, but the basics are probably don't bother it leaves the bottom of the chin completely exposed not just the usb c port/sim slot the whole thing.

Just got the Evutec case. It has double-stick tape to hold the case on. It isn't too bulky, fits nicely, and stays on the phone. Should be a $20 not $60 case.
