Did everyone see the new Seidio case they have on their site that is the Surface case, but it fits the Verizon slim extended battery?

http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-surface-case-black-p/csr2ssgnlx-bk.htm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coderedpl:
I wonder how soon is "coming soon"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clarkkent434:
I wonder the same thing but i am waiting for the gloss white Active case they just add. It is "coming soon" to. I bet since they have CES booth they will show all the these new colors and case then open them up on their store right after CES. That would make good business to have people try them at CES then allow them to buy the accessories right after CES is over.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwoolf1:
thanks for the code. I'm ready to pull the trigger on this one too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -BoneZ-:
I ordered a Cruzer Lite to replace my Verizon case/holster after purchasing the extended battery.

The Cruzer Lite fits perfectly with the extended battery. The only thing I don't like is the outside volume rocker buttons. They're too tight and make the volume buttons very sensitive. Especially the volume down button. If it causes me too much grief, I'll just cut the buttons out of the case like they should've been in the first place.

Also, the Cruzer Lite fits nicely into the Verizon holster. It's a little tight at first, but if you bend the holster's holders out on each side, the case slides in easier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
Looks much more rounder and thinker from comparing the photos. Without them both being in hand, I'm speculating a bit.

I like the lines on the original case. This new one has a rounded bubble look.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coderedpl:
Picked up the otterbox defender from verizon store today, it seems pretty big compared to my incredible and what I had on the thunderbolt but we'll see. I'm pretty confident on the level of protection in it but not sure about the bulkiness for now.

I have 14 days to return it.

How is the Seidio surface in terms of protection? Does it withstand falls and stuff or is it just to cover it from the daily use scratches?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donutman:
What is the thinest case available that adds little to no bulk? GSM version
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordo_99:
I used a skin for my last phone (Fascinate) and that works well to keep it from getting scratched.

If you want a hardshell case that is also thin I'd probably pick up the Ringke Slim

I'm not sure you're going to get much protection with a case so thin though. The Seidio Active is the one case I'm looking at that is somewhat rugged but not overly thick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrmorphine:
Here are some pictures of the HSPA+ version (Bell Canada) with the Case Mate Barely There case (model CM017184) and the official Samsung extended battery/backplate installed.

The case fits pretty well. The bottom section is pushed up a bit, causing the phone to be basically flush with the case at the bottom section. Not sure that the case would protect the screen if dropped since there is no lip over the glass anymore.

Buttons all fit very well in the supplied cutouts.

Hey guys,

Had my S-line Wave TPU case for a few days now, decided to throw up a quick review! It's a great case, brilliant protection, great cut-outs and it was only £1.75!

eBay link

Here's a quick video review of the case!

[YOUTUBE]wFWxpbljYvs[/YOUTUBE]

[YOUTUBE]2u4ZIN-_erk[/YOUTUBE]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pattont:
While I haven't dropped it to test it, but it's a minimalistic case for protection. It will protect from most stuff, but I'm betting it isn't going to save you from a cracked screen if dropped. It's more for scratches and grip. Makes the phone feel great. I have it on my GN with the slim extended battery using the stock battery cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pattont:
It doesn't look that much thicker. Looks just like the extended cover for the phone. It rounds instead of flat down to the bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kumulu:
I have read the whole thread but dont know which of these three to choose:

-Obostore Rock Ultra Thin Nakedshell Faceplate

-Diztronic

-Obostore Imak Double Hard Case Simple Fiexible Slim Skin

Please, can you help me to decide?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheDoctor1177:
Has anyone tried the Seidio Active case with out the kickstand with the extended battery? I would love the one without the kickstand, but if it doesn't fit, then I'll just have to deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mondfahrer:
Hi guys,

I order the 'Case Mate Barely There' today on amazon.uk and probably receive it on Friday. I'll use it on my GN GSM and let you guys now how it fit's, signal drop.... and stuff like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuzakuTheKnight:
Mine should hopefully arrive on the 12th. I'll let you know once I get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheDoctor1177:
Ahh!!! I'm excited now. I had an Otterbox Defender case, but it felt like it doubled the size and weight of the phone, the active looks like it protects it with not a lot of bulk. Looking forward to your review!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Otterbox Defender is awesome! Got it yesterday and love it so far. Not sure if I'll keep it or go with a Kraken case (www.tridentcase.com/) though. The Kraken looks stronger, but I am loving the OtterBox right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MissyO:
Do they make the Kraken for the Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
Hey guys!

Back with another review, this time this charcoal diamond TPU case from eBay!

Great case for the money, the volume rocker and power button areas can be a bit hard to feel and press sometimes though!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuzakuTheKnight:
It arrived! The the silicon in the version w/o the kickstand is exactly the same as the version w/ the kickstand. By that, I mean it has the same cutout for where the kickstand would be. I swapped between the standard and the extended batteries several times with the case on the phone and could not tell any difference other that the fact that there is a gap between the case and the phone on the bottom edge of the camera that become more apparent with the extended battery. The gap is present with both batteries, but it is more noticeable with the extended battery.

I'll post pictures later. If there is anything you want to know about the case, let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuzakuTheKnight:
Pictures of the Seidio Active with standard and extended batteries.

The camera gap shot on the standard battery kept blurring.

Comparison shots with the extended are labeled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Not yet, what I meant was I want one as soon as they make it LOL. I Think it will be better than the otterbox.

One downside I have found to the defender is that dust gets under the screen protector. 2 days with it and I already cleaned it once. Not a big deal but I wish it was a little tighter of a fit. Another downside I found is when dragging the notification bar you have to push hard as the screen protector rises right there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masully84:
I got my Seidio Active with kickstand today and so far I like the case. The grips on the case seem great so far.

Slim Leather Pouch

Great thread but unfortunately it couldn't help me, I don't like these bulky cases, I like to hold my phone naked in my hand, but I'd like to have a pouch just to make sure my phone is protected in my pocket or if I leave it on a table or something. I liked my Nexus One pouch but couldn't find anything similar to it (I don't like those cheap Chinese made ones either), so after searching alot I found this and ordered it:

http://www.senacases.com/google/galaxy-nexus/ultraslim/

you can use Coupon code: "PCWIPNK11" to get 20% off if you Google, you can find coupons for 15% off as well if this one didn't work. it was ~$27 with Shipping. I'll post some pictures as soon as I receive it.

P.S: please add this to your list for people that like slim pouches.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheDoctor1177:
The case looks great! My only question is that did you use the standard battery back cover or the extended battery back cover? And if you didn't try it and see if that makes a difference. I was debating between the black and white case, and I like the way the white one looks. Thanks for posting detailed pics.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuzakuTheKnight:
I used the standard back door with the standard battery and the extended back door with the extended battery. I have not tried the standard back door with the extended battery as I'm worried about warping the back door with the constant stress. But I don't think it will effect the feel of the phone once the case is on it. Regardless of what battery I had in it, the phone felt the same once it had the case on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tommy_FIN:
Hi all!

I'm having a hard time to decide which case I should buy. Seidio active or Case-mate pop. I have GSM-version.

What I need is:

- Snug fit

- Room for extended battery

- Good grip

- Easy to use power and volume buttons

They both look good to me. Anything I should know about those cases?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeCore:
is it just because i'm a dork that that white active case screams out storm trooper and makes me want a white one instead of my black one even more.

...it'd be great if they just sold the exo-skeleton part alone so we can color swap without having to repurchase the case, i'd pay around 15 bucks for the exo.

*edit*

so they use the same silicone core in the non kickstand version as they do with the kickstand... interesting. this cutout in the back of the silicone absolutely helps the fit with the extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheDoctor1177:
Okay, ordering today. thanks for all of your input!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Samcobra:
I just received a Diztronic TPU case. It fits perfectly with the LTE Extended battery. It has a nice fit and finish and doesn't add too much too the phone.

And I'm a first-time case user. I've always hated covering up my phone, but after getting a small nick in the plastic of my GNex, I realized that Samsung phones can't compare to the build and durability of HTC or Moto phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuzakuTheKnight:
It reminds me of the turrets from Portal. I need to get some red vinyl for the camera surround and some black vinyl or sharpie for the lines.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
I just got 3 CruzerLite cases with the Android Figures. Clear,Red and Blue. Red is my fave (I'm female) , Clear comes second and Blue third.

So far these cases have fit perfectly and I'm very satisfied with my purchase. Cutouts seem pretty good. Overall quality is very good. Well what can you expect from a TPU case. Cutouts are not perfectly 100% right centered, but it is a very very small detail in the speaker and camera cutout.

I haven't experienced the volume rocker issue. I doubt i will. Didn't need to cut the volume keys. Fit is perfect. Will post some pics tomorrow. I'm using the GSM unlocked version BTW.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tommy_FIN:
Are the power and volume buttons easy to use?

Edit:

And how's the grip?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelmic:
I am glad you are enjoying cases.

Here are some pics of our new android case
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
That looks great!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuzakuTheKnight:
Grip is awesome. The phone definitely feels a lot more secure in my hand with the case on. Beforehand, I was constantly worried that it was going to slip out of my hand. The buttons are still easy to use and still provide a good tactile feedback when pressed. There are bumps in the silicon that help you located the buttons by feel as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idefiler6:
So the Seido Active is the way to go with extended? Does it come with 2 different back plates or something? I have a Defender from Otterbox and it does not fit well with extended.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
I hate otterbox, it makes the phone BULKY, case mate is nice but the corners are unprotected, sgp is plasticky and slippery, so far my favorite is seidio surface, it covers the whole phone including the corners, does it fit the gsm galaxy nexus perfectly_ i have read it-s a little loose and that it's made for the verizon ggalaxy nexus, how's the grip and the texture for the case? is the camera cutout raised? i dont want scratches on my camera lens

Pictures would be really nice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tommy_FIN:
Thanks! Looks like it's Seidio active for me then...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Here are some Red pictures as i promised. I'll take some pictures on the ports and the different colors, but here you go have red.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuzakuTheKnight:
I would definitely go with the Active for the extended battery. It only comes with one hard exoskeleton and one silicon layer, but they sell two versions: one with a kickstand and one without.

(Edit to fix a typo)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Clear... I will take tomorrow the blue in the daylight.... put some comments and upload detailed pictures about the cutouts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strictlyrude27:
is this for LTE or GSM phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuzakuTheKnight:
Seidio says that the case is for both models. The Active works great with the standard LTE and the extended LTE. I don't think anyone has posted about the Active with the GSM model yet though. My best guess is that it should work with minimal to no issues. If it fits the normal LTE just fine, then it should fit the extended GSM about the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asianrage:
LOVE the white version.

But does anyone know of any good running straps that might fit the bulk of the defender + the nexus?

Hey guys I'm back with some more case reviews!

First up is the S-Line Wave case with a kickstand!!!

[YOUTUBE]q8lzeet3MkA[/YOUTUBE]

Great little case! kickstand really useful for movies e.t.c!

Second, not a case, but a nifty little pouch!

[YOUTUBE]2gsutL6rR1s[/YOUTUBE]

Really like this one, fits the Nexus perfectly, easy to remove, great all rounder!

And last, a slim hardshell case!

[YOUTUBE]1Y6zt7JRzr0[/YOUTUBE]

Nice slim hard case, great for the minimalist! It even shows off the fact you have a nexus and you're proud ;)

Extra pics and more available here!

And they have one for the extended battery too.

And surface for extended battery was also released.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] publicacct:
I got the active with extended battery and original back. Looks great and alot more protection than the holster combo from verizon. Very happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frank21cn:
i would like to add SGP cases. i just got my ultra capsular one. and it is good. the famous hybrid one is coming out soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuzakuTheKnight:
The Convert is a slightly bulkier case than the Active that offers additional protection. It is the Surface case plus silicon and exoskeleton layers. When you don't need the extra protection you can take the extra layers off.

I have the Zagg screen protector on my phone and had an issue with the Verizon Silicone case pushing it up at the bottom. Do you think this will do the same or no?

Guys . Are there any lint free cases that provide decent protection as well . I have a Otterbox Commuter but that acts like a link and dust magnet ..

Any suggestions ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
I have made up my mind i'm gonna get the seidio surface+the sgp ultra oleophobic screen protector

I have read the cases ruin the screen protector , lifting the edges but since the sgp oleophobic is smaller than the screen i think ill be fine, what do you guys say?

My Carbon Design 3-in-1 Combo

Anyone have or heard of this case? Looks pretty good, though may be too thick. Has a nice looking protective case (with a kickstand!) and a holster (that also has a kickstand!). I liked the Verizon shell holster combo with kickstand, but to use it with the extended battery you need to remove back cover. This leaves battery exposed with kickstand out. This case looks to solve that problem with the two part rubber under plastic over. I just bought one for pretty cheap ($14.41) here http://www.talkietech.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-combo-16885.html

with free shipping and coupon code talkietech15. I will post here how it is when I receive it.

Here is a link to an ebay auction with good pictures. (I've bought from this seller before many times).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
Good find! Just ordered one, $24.36 shipped to the UK!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calubren:
Hello, do you think that the case will fit for the GSM GNex?

The ebayauction said that this case will only fit the LTE-Version

but the talkietechsite said nothing about this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
This is the blue Cruzerlite one, i'll soon upload a back picture. At first i thought the blue one was my least favorite of the 3. Been using it about a week and i really dig the looks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
I'm hoping it will fit the GSM with the extended battery in, if not... I have a nice new paperweight ;)

Or I could always cut out some foam :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Here are more, i bumped contrast a tad bit. But still thats how it looks IRL. You can see a bit of the ports cutouts so you get an idea of the fit.

A indeepth review from ThatDudeButch @ Team BAMF Forums

This review is from ThatDudeButch @ Team BAMF Forums - Home

Here is a link to the original Case Review: Cruzer Lite Androidified A2 High Gloss TPU Soft Gel Skin Case

Case Review: Cruzer Lite Androidified A2 High Gloss TPU Soft Gel Skin Case

Cruzer Lite Androidified A2 High Gloss TPU Soft Gel Skin Case

​

Cruzer Lite was kind enough to send us a couple of their brand new cases for the Galaxy Nexus. First off, let me start off by saying that not all TPU cases are created equal. Thermoplastic polyurethanes (abbreviated TPU) are a class of polyurethane plastics with many useful properties including elasticity, transparency, and resistance to oil, grease and abrasion. This makes it a perfect material for our smart phones. The problem is that many companies use inferior materials and it shows in the end result. I am happy to report that the Cruzer Lite series is probably the highest quality TPU case I have used. I used the case for almost a week before writing this review, and have carried it to Appalachians to hike and climb mountains during the process. The case has been subjected to quite a bunch already in the short time I have used it. The picture below is of the case as of this writing. Please note I have not cleaned the case at all, which is a testament to it's durability.

​

When reviewing this case I graded it on many factors:

BUILD QUALITY: The quality of this case is apparent as soon as you take it out of the packaging. The case is rigid and should provide good padding in case of a short drop, yet flexible enough to provide easy access to the back battery cover by simply pulling it off the phone.

FIT: The case fits perfectly. I am using the OEM extended battery and cover which adds about 2mm of thickness to the back of the phone but the device still fits very well. All of the ports are accessible and the cutouts seem to be laser cut as there are no rough edges.

FEEL: The Cruzer Lite also boasts a smooth feel across the Android backside, but gives a bit of a tactile feel to the rest of the case, so gripping is not an issue. The phone easily slides in and out of pockets and attracts zero lint. The bezel/edge of the case is not over sized so it doesn't give the front profile of the case an unusually thick rim.

PRICE: At just around $10, the case is very cost effective.

CONCLUSION: The Cruzer Lite Androidified A2 High Gloss TPU Soft Gel Skin Case is a no brainer. The case is versatile enough to provide protection while out and about, but very easy to remove while at home or work. With a vast assortment of colors and styles, you should be able to find one to fit your personal style very easily. Cruzer Lite is also available with free amazon shipping, check them out at Cruzer Lite​

I have the Seidio Surface and Incipio Silicrylic with extended battery LTE

I just wanted to let people know that the Incipio Silicrylic works with extended battery with the rear cover on, but does not fit perfectly. There are parts that stick out a little because of the rear cover. The Seidio Surface fits with the extended battery, but only without a rear cover. It is a lot more sleek and comfortable than the Incipio Silicrylic, which made my phone feel stuck in my pocket. I recommend the Seidio Surface.
