Wow, that looks really bad. Mine is pretty good in comparison. The bottom on mine is not skewed at all and it doesn't really smell noticably.

You points about the tight fit and stiffness of the material apply to the one I have though. That was my main gripe with it.

I currently use one of these. Besides costing less it holds a much higher quality. Unfortunately it's a bit too short.

Just purchased the Sena ULTRA SLIM in Tan

Used coupon code "PCWIPNK11" for a 20% discount on the total order, with USPS Priority Shipping bringing the total to just under 30$

Will update with review / DSLR photos when received.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fnord:
I'm loving this!

Must find someone who knits...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nabbed:
Any consensus on which pouch is the best and the closest to the original n1 pouch?

Neoprene soft pouch would be preferable but not necessary. Anything that fits and looks good, is very soft on the inside, and is easy to take of and put on?

I don't really care for ebay listings, and I'd rather have a brand name from an established manufacturer.

I'm in the US.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skiesofwinds:
I want one of those original nexus one pouch too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
The original Nexus One pouch is too small for the GN. It will physically stretch around the wider phone, but it's so tight that it puts pressure on the power button. So if you want a neoprene pouch it has to be sized right.

This seller any better?? From the pictures (can be deceiving?) stitching and such looks good. It's definitely different than the one everyone got from bidbidshop or w/e

Look at andy the android placement.....its higher up and to the left etc...looks bigger actually. Also 60 cents more expensive hahaha....i'm probably gonna order one and ship it to my house back in NY, wouldn't be able to try it out till after April 20th though since thats when I go back
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vertigo1:
I'll let you all know sooner than that. Just bought. Hopefully will be here within a reasonable time frame. I'll do my best to report back :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
Thanks! be sure to put of pics and everything with and without your phone in it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Indeed. A picture like the one below but of the pouch you ordered would be great. Also, it would be interesting to hear about how tight the fit is (if it interferes with the buttons etc.).

A picture of the earlier one that I don't like.

These are really nice. I don't see an option to switch the shop language to English though. So you'd require some basic German skills I guess. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
They have been mentioned lots of times already in this and other threads. Many of us are looking for a N1 style pouch though. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
My eBay pouch arrived.....to my NY address haha, won't be able to test it till like April 23 as thats when I go back and give you guys some pictures etc...and my opinion on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kevinskocik:
I ordered this pouch. http://www.ebay.com/itm/170796925785

Arrived yesterday. Quality seems pretty good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Thanks.

Could you please take some more pictures? One like I posted above that shows the insides would be nice and also description of how the material feels. Is it soft like the N1 pouch (including soft inner fabric) or is it more rigid. When you lay it flat on a table empty, does it lay completely flat or?

Could you also take a picture with your phone in it and show us if the stiching still looks ok?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] napes22:
I couldn't find a good pouch so I just use my Neoprene Sunglasses pouch. Doesn't offer much in terms of shock protection, but it keeps scratches off the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
Finally back in ny where my pouch was waiting. Quality is very good, a bit of a tight squeeze but after 2-3 slips in fits perfect. Doesn't turn on the screen for me when I put it in except foe the first time. Quality is great for $4 and much better than the pics of earlier ones in this thread from the other eBay seller. Very happy with it. Looks really legit and like the nexus one case.

Neoprene isn't the thickest but will definitely do the job if you drop it from various heights etc...

This is from the eBay seller I linked a while ago over a month ago actually maybe 2 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b00sted:
has anyone bought the galaxy note soft pouch? how do you think the fit would be with phone w/ case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
Galaxy note soft case to use with galaxy nexus?? Would be really roomy depending on ur case. The note is huge
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Could you post some pictures?

EDIT: I ordered on too since nobody wanted/had time to post more pictures. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thepawn:
All the Ebay ones seem to be Neoprene which is not as soft as the original N1 case, but they fit great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
I'm pretty sure the N1 one is also neoprene, just a softer version.

EDIT: I just received it. Mine was slightly too big so not a perfect fit but not too bad. The material is also much softer than the one most sellers sold earlier (the one I posted a picture of above).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iboj007:
I just ordered this same one from here:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guto ViP:
I use a pouch of Fitbag.de with radiation protect, the best!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nathan118:
Got my pouches from hkaccess on ebay. Here's a link. Took just over two weeks to arrive.

Fits my galaxy nexus really well. I have a cruzer lite case on it, with the 2000mah extended battery. I gave the neoprene a little stretch, and it's fitting well. I know the more I use it and it stretches out, the better it will work. Here's some pictures of my wife's phone in the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thepawn:
I've been using mine for about two months now and its starting to "soften up" a bit, not quite as stiff as it once was.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stealthchicken75:
I previously owned a Nexus One and the pouch that game with it was PERFECT so I've been searching for a similar case for my Galaxy Nexus but haven't had much luck. I found this store on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/Pamperedpaparazzi?ref=seller_info that makes Neoprene cases for cameras that looked pretty great so I asked if she wouldn't mind trying to make one that perfectly fits my phone. This is the prototype she came up with:

http://www.etsy.com/listing/99393648/phone-case-for-david-smith

I recieved it today and, while it's not perfect, it's an outstanding first try (especially considering she didn't actually have a Galaxy Nexus to test with). The fit is snug enough to where the phone won't slip out but it's not so tight that the buttons on the sides get pressed. The neoprene is thick enough to where I can feel confident that I can drop the phone from a decent height without worrying about breaking anything. It's also really soft on the inside like the N1 pouch.

I'll definitely be ordering a second pouch and would highly recommend that anyone still looking for a soft pouch contact her.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Interesting. What did it end up costing you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
The old N1 pouch was indeed great. I just wish manufacturers of the N1 pouch copy that was available all over eBay would just adjust it to the GN measurements and continue making it. From the pictures and from people ordering them they always seemed to be very close to the original.

An example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Android...540428?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f0f79318c
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Actually, it was too big. I have been using it with my atrix that has a tpu case and its still big.

Sent from my samsung gt i9250 using powers of the unicorn.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Which one is too big? There were some pouches discussed here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
The n1 pouch lookalike hong kong special. It was too big but worked its purpose for me. I dont think itll be big enough for the galaxy nexus though. And ill be on the prowl for a good for the nexus this round. I want it to last two years or through two full updates at least.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
I think there were different ones made by different manufacturers since I saw some of them that seemed to be pretty much exactly the same as the original.

I am using the official soft leather HTC Titan pouch

Fits perfectly. I bought it from Expansys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Mind snapping a few pics with the phone in it? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] outsidah:
Pics! Link!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Im not agreeing or disagreeing with but i personally dont think there were very many variations. Maybe 2 or 3 versions not including different colors. But mine persoanally didnt fit. I wouldnt doubt there was a better fitting version or two. I definitely wouldnt mind an almost form fitting and proper size leather pouch for this nexus.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tweedie:
Got excited, until i saw the price! 20 quid! hmm nice though, but no protection with sleeves though?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] outsidah:
Yeah that definitely makes it a no go for me in the US too.

I can't find anything decent!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tweedie:
Can't find anything decent myself. Got my eye on case-mate. I fancied ArmorSuit too, but alas doesn't post to uk. you US'ers might be in luck

ArmorSuit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] outsidah:
Yeah I like most of the case-mate products myself as well. I emailed them about when we might factually see their cases in the US/UK, but nothing yet. Last time I purchased my CM case from the UK as they took some time to see the SGSII case here.

Have you used the ArmorSuit stuff?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Dejan_:
If will someone see pouch like this:

Which perfectly fit to Galaxy Nexus please post it here :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
I just ordered that fit bag from amazon for £20. Yes it was expensive but you pay for what you get and it looks very good quality! Coming from Germany to UK so will be a few days but will let you all know how good it is when it arrives.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Taggard:
I loved the pouch the came with the N1...so did my wife. She snapped it up for her iPhone 3Gs and I had to go buy another one that just wasn't as good.

So today I get my Galaxy Nexus and although Samsung didn't send a pouch, Gum Mobile (the place I bought it from) sent this perfect pouch that was a whole lot like the N1 pouch (but with a GUM sticker instead of a cute Android). My wife grabs it and throws her iPhone 4 into it and decides it is perfect.

Now I need to find another pouch...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaulCayard:
When it arrives, could you write a mini-review, please? Thanks a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
IF it arrives I will. Don't know if it has even ordered! My phone app doesn't show any of my old orders and my PC doesn't show this order even though they are logged in with the same details! Don't know what's happening!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
I bought it too but it seems that they don't answer on when they will ship.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
Just had to speak to amazon direct. Even though my phone logged in on the same email address, it setup a new account so that's why one couldn't see the other! They just had too close one of my accounts. This phone is causing me loads of trouble!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewstiff:

Suede?

The Suede looks like it might get dirty real quick. The leather looks good, although it may make such a big phone feel pretty bulky in the pocket.

I ordered http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Andro...s=63&clkid=4506242327876003475#ht_2198wt_1058 from ebay. I figured if it fits the galaxy s2... it can stretch to fit the galaxy nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YevS:
Galaxy is 1cm shorter than GN so all pouches for galaxy will have the GN sticking out by 1cm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Yes, the best solution would be if they could make ones that are slightly taller but it might still be worth a try since they are really cheap.

Do you live far away from Hong Kong? If not, perhaps you could post some pictures of how it fits when you get it. Shipping to the US or Europe usually takes weeks though.

EDIT: Ah, what the hell. I ordered one too. It's so cheap anyway. I have noticed that they type of cases stretch over time anyway. According to the specs the SGS2 is 5.7 mm shorter so not a full cm.

EDIT 2: Hmm, according to the official specs it might be 1 cm after all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ultish:
I emailed the ebay seller regarding a pouch for the nexus and he said it was OK, and asked for the size of the phone. Sent it to him, waiting for a reply to see if they'll make/source one for the nexus! *crosses fingers*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bakedbread:
awesome

let us know what he says cause I actually really like how that neoprene case looks with the android logo - i think its simple but cool

if he ends up selling one for the nexus ill buy one too ! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
I want a pouch for this similar to the one that came with the n1. That was so good,not one scratch on my n1 after 2 years of use
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
For those of us in the US I did a quick comparison here with already (US) released phones that might have accessories available (Galaxy Nexus, Moto Razr, Rezound, & Galaxy S II). It looks like accessories for the Razr might be the closest...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Great. I thought about doing that but ended up thinking it was probably unlikely that they would listen to just a single request like that.

Let us know when they stock them. :) I can compare it size wise with the SGS2 one when they have both arrived.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silent_killa:
+1 to know what they say :)

I used one of these on my old desire and the case is looks pretty sweet and lasted me for the full year that I had it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaulCayard:

I am assuming you are all talking about this one?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Andro...s=63&clkid=4506242327876003475#ht_2246wt_1058

I can't get on this as it says "This Listing has Ended". I don't usually use eBay so I don't know...anyone know why? If you are all saying it's cheap I wouldn't mind buying it! Currently stuck with the leather pouch I got with HD2 and the top of the Nexus is exposed by about 1.5cm!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Usually eBay stores just relist the same items again but I can't find the exact same item listing when checking. Maybe they just went out of stock. It might be easiest to contact the seller about it to be 100% sure.

I did find one for Galaxy S2 4G which according to PhoneArena has the same dimensions as the normal Galaxy S2. I can't be sure it's the exact same item though but there is a good chance it is.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Andro...999743?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item256861573f (Currently 8 left in stock)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Faz20:
Isn't the one you linked there the one everyone was talking about, or am I mistaken? Lol. Could someone please clarify? Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
No, it's a different listing as it's for the Galaxy S2 4G version. PhoneArena lists them as the same size but I can't guarantee that it's exactly the same item. My guess would be that it is though. The only way to know would be to ask the seller.

Half of them have already been sold now btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innisdb:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnchad14:
Nice. Grabbed one too, hopefully it beats my last ebay one :). Just feel like the quality can be hit or miss with these guys...but hey, $3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Looks sweet, I have one question though. Have you had the Nexus One pouch before? That one was amazing, is this the at the same quality? (It's relatively cheap). I just bought the one listed earlier for the SGS2 4G, should be here in a couple of weeks :eek:

Will post my findings, seems like it's coming from the same place (Hong Kong)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinaryTB:
Ordered the same pouch too. The same seller had a waterproof version too, it was all black which I wanted, but since I love the Nexus One pouch feel, I went for the non-waterproof (assuming the waterproof pouch wouldn't be as soft or a different texture).

Also... did you take those pics on top of a snake?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innisdb:
The quality is actually just as good as the nexus one pouch. This one might be slightly thinner but still its good

Got this Garmin leather pouch today

Forget the price, I paid only A$30 ;) Not much to choose from at the moment and this is the best fit I have seen. Fantastic leather, love how it feels.

Very good quality case. A tad short but to be honest I like it that way. Inserted head first, it leaves the speaker out, the LED is visible too.

Here are some photos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aislepathlight:

How long did it take for you to get the pouch? From Hong Kong to you (US I'm assuming?).

I ordered it a couple days ago on the 4th, just want to figure out the ETA since the eBay Dec. 20th - Jan 2nd ETA is no help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
best pouch ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innisdb:
It took about 5 days I believe, pretty quick. The eBay eta is really off
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinaryTB:
Nuts, I was kind of hoping it would be a week at least, that way I can order the GN when I get the pouch in (otherwise I'd be tempted to take the GN outside the apt naked... where my karma would catch up with me and the phone would drop onto the pavement right away). Now I'm tempted to order the phone now and it should arrive right when my first MBA final exam starts.

Grades or gadgets... #firstworldproblem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innisdb:
just use something else as a case temporarily if you get the phone first. Technically the phone will be naked everytime you hold it anyway since the sleeve doesnt stay on it while your using it, i wouldnt worry about dropping it...after all its just the best phone on the market right now ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jasbur17:
If you're just looking to protect from scratches in your pocket, perhaps the pouch included in this is good enough?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0062V1TTW
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YevS:
Got the FitBag today and I can't say I'm impressed...

The fit is very tight and the pouch is very flexible, which makes it hard to get the phone in and out (I have the 1 side leather other side suede black). You cant hold the bag by the edges to get the phone in/out it flexes too much.

While this may get easier with time there is another "feature" that I'm not pleased about: You can use the screen through the bag. This issue is compounded by the tightness of the bag as you tend to press the power button as you slide the phone in... And then feel it vibrate as it tries to unlock.

The suede part also picks up all the dust from any surface.

So all in all not all that useful, would prefer a neoprene pouch same as N1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaulCayard:
I was going to buy the neoprene pouch when I saw on the seller page:

Shipping to: Worldwide

Excludes: Afghanistan, Italy, Lebanon, Iraq, Pakistan, India

Is it a joke?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LadFromWales85:
Damn it, the neoprene Android case is no where to be found now! :(

I got my leather/suede Fitbag today and am disappointed. As others have said, it isn't rigid enough to support itself so it's awkward to slide the phone in as the case bends when doing so.

Anyone know where to get hold of a neoprene case that'll fit the GN?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] karatewilliam:
According to phone-size.com/?s=3%2C49%2C22%2C7 (sorry not enough posts) the Motorola Droid Razr is quite similar in size so I ordered one of these :) cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190607551161
