Found another really thin case/holster combo but I think this one is perfect since it protects the top and bottom of the phone and has a rim all around. Protection + slim = perfect. Price is not bad either. :)

NICE FINE! Added to OP.

It's similar to the Seidio Surface, 2 piece sandwich case. No felt lining inside though. I'll order this one too.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
Happy to help. :)

By the way, does anyone else think that leaving the top and bottom parts completely exposed is kind of pointless (especially the top since it has nothing there)? I really find it bizarre and don't understand the logic behind this. If not for this, I would probably be using the Verizon case I purchased originally. Stuck with OtterBox Defender for now (hating that thickness and kickstand design). I wish that case I found or the Seidio Surface had a kickstand, then I would definitely use it. Hmm.....maybe I'll mod one?

By the way, I'm also happy to see that a lot of you are pointing out the need of the holster. It always struck me as odd how these accessory companies disregarded the necessity for holsters for their cases. I'm happy to see a lot of options for Galaxy Nexus now. A comeback perhaps? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droiddog:
I agree with you regarding the holster. I need one for work. I actually like Verizon's case/holster. I just wish it fit the extended battery better. I also wish pseudo would come out with a naked case like they have for the og Droid and tbolt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fahrenheit:
I just got the stock Verizon black silicon case. Its OK. Seems to attract oils from your skin, and retains a bit of lint from your pocket. Considering the Seidio Surface instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HarnessTech:
Just purchased this one and will report back my experience. There's only 8 left and the price is right! (Sorry, could not quote link due to being a n00b)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dbrown2:
This seems to be the same as http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16875992686 that I posted about a few back.

It does fit the extended battery and has a felt cover on the holster. It has a snap in fit and does not make the phone feel big like the Otter defender.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cky2000:
I figured I would throw this out there. First, I'm looking/waiting/hoping for a holster without a case. I had the Seidio holster for my DX and loved it.

I have the Verizon case/holster & Qmadix case/holster. They are alright, but (for me) it is such a PIA to get the phone out. For both and with the extended battery and extended battery cover they do not work with these 2 case/holsters. It does work with out the battery cover or with the standard battery cover with the extended battery. IMO: the standard battery cover with the extended battery applies too much pressure.

I just ordered this one http://www.amazon.com/Cellet-Bergamo-Leather-Holster-Samsung/dp/B006MHAXSY . It looks kind of cheap but I hope it will hold me over and I do have the Seidio Surface and the one from the post above this one ordered too.

Thanks for this tip! I was looking for a holster to put my Gnex in wearing an Incipio sicrylic case. Ordered it now and we'll see how it works out. Right now I am using an old blackberry holster with the top cut off....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeCore:
i emailed seidio about a naked holster for the nexus since i had one for my DX too and loved it. They said right now they didn't have any plans to make one. i then reminded them that once the 3 pin accessories start showing up and since they probably wont be compatible with any of the existing cases it might not be a bad idea to consider it since an awful lot of phones are going to be case stripped and skinned in order to use the docks.

maybe email them and if they see there is a demand for them they might reconsider.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GrainOsand:
I have the defender. ITS TOO BIG! that's is all. Carry on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
Thanks for consolidating all the different holsters out there.

I had already gotten a TPU case, but it looks like there are plenty of options for holsters WITH case, which is the way I'll probably go. I've been using a Verizon horizontal pouch case, but with the TPU case, it's a very tight fit.

I went to htcpedia and they actually have many of the other options from the first post there too. I decided to go with the more generic $7 one for now.

The prices are pretty good, though the shipping is extra. While I was there, I went ahead and ordered an extra Samsung wall charger for a cheap $3+. I'll let you know what I think of the generic one once it arrives.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
So the HTCpedia case: http://shop.htcpedia.com/galaxy-nexus-holster-case-combo.html

Arrived yesterday and I hate it. It's horrible.

The beltclip holster's sides is wider than the phone itself, so it's damn near impossible to try to get the phone out without using two hands, and even that it's a bit hard.

The case itself is like the Seidio, and that part is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
Well.....you get what you pay for I guess... :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tbever:
Yes I got that case/holster combo as well. It is too tight to fit into the holster. The clip is huge. It looks and feels cheap.

I may try the Seidio active case combo: hopefully it is not too bulky.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmolloy:
This is a great help for those of us looking for a holster case. Mods... can we get a sticky?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coderedpl:
Top protection is a must! I have the Verizon shell/holster combo and i had my phone on my lap in my car. I was in a rush so I quickly got out of the car....so did the phone and landed on the ground hitting JUST the top portion where its not protected with the case. I have a nice dent there now but luckily screen and all work.

Seriously considering the otterbox again. Its bulky but protects the phone well. My other phones survived many falls.

anyone known if the otter box works with the extended battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
Yeah, I know it's been discussed earlier in this thread that the phone is much prettier with the top and bottom exposed, but really, if it's going to fall, it WILL hit at least a corner or the top/bottom sections, if not directly, with the second bounce (ouch). Especially since it's a bottom heavy phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcoddinc83:
I'm using the VZW shell holster and don't think it's too bad, but I saw this case stand:

http://shop.brando.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-waved-stand_p6772c304d4.html

Thinking I might get it and see if it can work with the holster. Anyone have this case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tehdoughnut:
I don't think I saw anyone mention this combo, so I thought this would help those that were in the same situation as me out.

I had a Seidio Surface combo for my old Incredible and loved it and was probably going to do the same for my GN until I found out that it didn't fit properly w/ the Verizon extended battery. So I originally bought a Diztronic TPU case as a temporary case until I found a nice case/holster combo. I found it to be a really good case except for the volume rocker problem that plagued Verizon users w/ their Revision 1 cases, so I cut out the volume rocker on the case and found it to be a near perfect case for me. (I now have Revision 3 w/ pre-cut out volume rocker)

So after finding my perfect case, I was wondering if any existing holsters would fit the Diztronic. I really liked the Seidio holster for my Incredible, so I tried to find out whether the Diztronic would fit in the Seidio holster, but could not find out any information as far as measurements went. I decided to take a chance and ordered the Seidio Surface holster and they actually fit really well together. It isn't a snug perfect fit as it probably would be w/ a Seidio Surface case though. There is just barely too much room in the holster for the Diztronic. The Diztronic is a little too thin for the holster so it moves around slightly, but not enough to bother me.

So basically, the Seidio Surface holster works w/ the Diztronic case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
I got mine today. Yes, it is a quite wide holster, that wraps around the phone completely (it IS a big phone though). There is some felty material on the inside. Using my TPU case from Diztronic, it slips/"clicks" in and out without a problem. In fact, it's a little bit loose.

The case itself I'm not such a fan of. A bit bigger/wider/thicker than my TPU.

So I definitely see how using the case + holster together is less than idea, too snug? a fit. But with a separate TPU case, it's not bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spyd3r05:
How wide of a Belt will it clip to?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
Slightly more than 2.25 inches is the length from the hinge/rotating section to the hook at the edge of the clip.

If you have a bigger belt than that, I'm sure it will clip on just fine with minimum risk of flying off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwoolf1:
Hi everyone. I need to get a case and holster because I feel like the gnex is going to slip out of my hands. I'm thinking between the defender or the seidio active. Does anyone know how well the phone can be inserted with the screen out? thanks (pictures would be great too!)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDRFAN:
I just wanted to let you guys know, for those of you looking for a holster that fits the otterbox Commuter series, the seidio active case holster fits it perfectly! There is no loose gaps (when you face it screen in to the holster), which is the same as the active case.

Not like the active case however, is the fact that you can face it outward as well (the active case has a bulge and wouldn't sit properly in the holster without falling out). This however does make me feel a bit on edge, as it feels like anything can simply tap the tab at the top and knock it out of the holster, otherwise, shaking it massively will not cause the phone to drop out. I'm really glad it fits and happy I took the plunge and am 100% satisified with this combination (:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeCore:
i was wondering about this a few pages back, nice find.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwoolf1:
I went with the defender because it fits the extended battery nice and snug, gives the phone some good ergonomic handling and weight, and the main feature I was looking for was face OUT connection to the holster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coderedpl:
Works both ways I figured out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Welp, I got the official oem 2000mah battery that has NFC for the GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus.

It's a tight fit for the Seidio Surface case, but the bottom part kinda is open and there's no clips on the bottom part of the case to snap together so this isn't gonna work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mooread:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jvrobert:

Can anyone confirm if the Qmadix holster works with the Diztronic V3? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddieN:
Just a little word of warning about the OtterBox Defender case:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...tion_558328&src_vid=sslpZDA6s5E&v=tUQudxG0E0E

I'm guessing it happened because the case is meant to be put on the US LTE version (the thicker version). However the guy speaking does speak american english so maybe the case is just a little too big or is dimensioned for an even bigger battery.

Was about to buy it and felt it was a really solid case but was put off by that youtube video.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Panzerapple:
I just got my Seidio Active case and holster today and I am very impressed with the overall design and quality. Protection is not otterbox defender tough but we'll suffice most owners needs. After owning many otterboxes my last one was for my Charge there build quality and design has gotten very poor. This is by far the nicest case I have ever owned. It does fit the LTE with the 2100 battery and cover just fine.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peanut_butter:
Btw for everyone who has been rocking caseless just a warning

That was my Nexus from about 4 foot onto ceramic tile (Bathroom sink to floor) it fell off and the charger cause a whipping motion as the phone detached and all I could do was watch in horror. A minimal case, even just a tpu would have probably saved it. Just a few words from the wise and someone who is out $700 plus $299 for not getting insurance :nonono: :( I will always cover my $1000 investment now.

01:15 shows the screen protector. The resulting case completely encases the nexus which I like. The commuter series just had one of those screen protectors that are prone to bubbles. The holster rotates, this is good for use as a stand, but also it's good if you find the top of your nexus is digging into your side.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
That sucks. I've read that you can send it to Samsung and they will fix broken screens for some amount (can't remember...less than $200 though) with a two week turnaround. If you have a phone you can use in the meantime, it would save you some money.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
That would be a very impressive price since the cheapest screen I can find on eBay is ~$300 (and only for the GSM model). Anyone else able to confirm this?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Protonus:
Hey guys, I have the Seidio Active Case with metal kickstand for the OEM 2100 mAh hour battery, and I love it, BUT, there is a problem with it I figured I'd let you all know.

The metal kickstand and the thickness of the bump for it, interferes with NFC. As you may know, the NFC antenna on the Galaxy Nexus is actually in the battery, so it's as close to the back of the phone as possible. The Seidio kickstand goes right over the middle of the battery. It is very difficult if not near impossible, to do things like "back to back" transfers with my Nexus 7 - especially while my Nexus 7 is ALSO in it's Active Case,. If I take the plastic outer part of the case off, that contains the metal kickstand and the bump, and just leave the silicone/soft inner on the phone, NFC works just fine.

But with the outer part on, NFC is very hard to use for back to back. With a NFC terminal like for payments, it works better (as they generate a larger powered field - I test them at work actually as part of my job).

I let Seidio know this, they don't have a plastic kickstand version for the OEM extended or their extended. I suggested they move the kickstand up higher, or re-engineer it to be thinner and plastic.. but no changes yet.

For now i take the outer shell off when I want to use NFC back to back

You also can't get the cases for extended batteries in anything other than black.. I wish I could get Red for it

I have a couple questions for my fellow MoPho-ers. I'va had mine for a couple weeks and have rooted it and made a couple buildprop edits, but have done nothing more, yet.

Searching the forum from the mobile app leaves a little to be desired, so I thought I would ask. Is there a thread on buildprop edits including what works? I'm also interested in a few mods. Crt off, slide2wake, a maybe a few others. Eventually there will be a custom rom in the works, but I want to read more about unlocking/locking, rom good and bad info, and keeping 4G functionality.

I've seen a few posts, but many questions remain. I figured asking here would be better than creating a bunch of repeat posts.

If anyone has info great, if you have a link even better, if you have both that would be awesome.

Well you can flash blur rom through bootstrap that dont touch the kernel. Like skinny4g. If you want to flash kernels you need to unlock. I will be kernel testing soon and may release a slide2wake mod if source has been released which will require unlocking. Crt off, umm hit the power button. Bam crt off. Most rom threads will state issues. Blur roms are most stable but cm7 will beat them soon, Miui as well.

Do you have stock ROM or a custom ROM? If you are on stock ROM you should be able to use the activate app to rerun activation which should fix it. If that doesn't call VM and they can tell you have to change it since you may also need to change your msid number. If your not on stock you will probably have to backup your current ROM, flash a stock ROM to fix it and then you can restore your custom ROM
