hi. these are the ones ive tried with my gsm i9250 with the oem extended battery;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-S-L...sesPouches&hash=item27c20d9f0f#ht_1219wt_1199

not a bad case, especially for the money. the buttons are slightly miss-aligned with the extended battery but still usable. good fit otherwise and easy to take off. no noticeable stretching. i use this if going out on the lash :)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LEATHER-F...sesPouches&hash=item27c3496c19#ht_2006wt_1185

bit of a tight fit with the extended battery but works. good quality. headphone socket can be awkward depending on size/shape of jack. i use this for work.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLEAR-S-L...sesPouches&hash=item3cc1ea8b66#ht_3145wt_1185

you'd think this would be the same as the top one... but no. buttons fit a bit better.. that is because it is incredibly stretchy. because of this the lip around the screen is loose and collects dust. i know its not meant for the extended battery but the top one is almost identical and fits fine. i dont use this.

have also ordered a imak case from obostore.. two weeks past delivery time and no response from them.. save your money

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SSHGuru:
I have the black one and use it every day. With the Verizon extended battery it fits very well. It's also very thin and light.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
That water droplet case does look pretty unique, nice find bro

At first I read it didn't protect the phone well then looked at the pictures and thought you dropped it in the toilet or something, hahah very realistic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
haha! It has the same effect in real life, people always say, 'your phone is wet!' ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I have 2 cases in my sig, that you can link.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idefiler6:
You'd be surprised how inaccurate that is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morpheus9394:
A case is definitely needed for the Nexus. I dropped my from a very short height and scratched the plastic. Very annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SSHGuru:
I completely agree.

The big issue is that one of the reasons we bought the phone is because it looks so great.

I'm still looking into a bumper case which can be as minimal as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PJoseph:
d30 Cases?

Does anybody know of any galaxy nexus cases with d30 tech? I can't seem to find any myself... tech21 doesn't have any for the galaxy nexus. Maybe I'm missing somewhere obvious?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SSHGuru:
What is D30 tech?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PJoseph:
Pardon me...meant D3o. Check a wikipedia article on the stuff or just Google it (apologies, would link but no go for noobs). Invented by a UK company. Basically a squishy goo that hardens on impact and protects stuff (e.g. motorcyclist "armor", iband iphone cases). I believe T Mobile features cases for some smart phones with D3o employed around the edges. Just wondering if anybody had heard of any for the GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
Just an FYI, the discount code for the Seidio stuff has expired, but you can use "spring12" for 10% off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
I decided to go shopping spree so i got these for my GSM Gnex:

- 3 Androidified A2 Cases (Green,Teal, Pink)

- 1 OEM 2000mah Extended Battery with cover

- 1 Motorola USB Rapid Car Charger

- 1 SGP Ultra Hybrid (Purple/Yellow) Case

I also got the original Cruzer light cases in: Clear, Red and Blue which i weekly swap. No more accessories for my Gnex in it's lifespan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redrapt0r:
Just saw Raul's case review of the Kraken. I must say im impressed. The protections looks as good as an otterbox and the fact that I can add accessories (Like a car mount!!!!) is a BIG addition. If only it didnt cost so damn much!!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
How well do the Kraken and Otterbox Defender fit the GSM version? I read that they are both made for the LTE version :(

Edit: I'm really just looking for the best protection I can get for the GSM version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wraithxt1:
I use the Otterbox defender with my GSM version. I bought it at the Verizon store. Fits like a glove, I wouldnt be concerned.

I'm trying to figure out what batteries I can fit in the GSM version while still using my Otterbox. I really need more battery life!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyyankees3511:
more pics please!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
Maybe the 2000 mAh battery? I've read that it barely adds any thickness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SSHGuru:
How many people are interested in buying a bumper case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKaz:
I would consider it if it was quality and looked good...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BamaNZ:
I'm definitely interested. I'm about to do the Inductive charging mod and a bumper cased would be PERFECT for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acatabian:
i definately am, would like to see more pics, and more colors!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] QUEDRO:
I just got my SGP CASE ULTRA CAPSULE in white color

Case is very nice and fits well. Not too snug probably as I wanted but not loose either. Very easy to take out and put in. Cut out is great as well.

I am all happy except the pearls in the color. Apparently it's "pearl white " and makes it look girlish. Would suite better for girls.

The case has a thick feel and does not seem to be cheap made. The packaging looks more expensive than the case itself. It comes sealed in a plastic 3 piece hard shell.

I don't have pics with the phone in since I do not have a 2nd camera at the moment.

Edit: One more thing, the edges of the case i think are a bit too thick due to the case material. No biggie, but it definitely adds some visual thickness.

Edit2: Does no have cut out for 3pin dock connection :/

I would rate it 3.5 out of 5, (-1 point for the pearl color and -0.5 for thick edges)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Yay, just one more week. Here's how my bundle looks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redrapt0r:
Is there any retail store I can pick up or at least see a Trident Kraken case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hakunin:
The Kraken

i just bought my Kraken on new egg for 32 bucks, not sure how many they had left but had black and pink.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redrapt0r:
Damn! I wanted the Blue and black too! Great tip though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] backspacr:
Just a comment on the Case-Mate Barely There case. I bought it for the GSM Rogers version despite the disclaimer just to see how loose it would actually be.

At first it was not so bad and you couldn't really notice it. I thought I could get away with it because the fit felt usable and they sold it next to the phone at Best Buy anyway, so it wasn't a far stretch.

But after about 3 weeks it has gotten much looser, pops out easily and shifts around and you can feel the gaps when you grip it (if that makes sense). Definitely not recommended.

So yeah, wasted about $30.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redrapt0r:
Bought the Kraken case in Blue and Black from Ebay for 37 bucks. Im anxiously waiting for thursday :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fidyyuan:
Has anyone bought this case or tried it on a Verizon CDMA GNex?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/DELUXE-Hard...ain_0&var=&hash=item43ad59bf0e#ht_9690wt_1010
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redrapt0r:
It SHOULDNT work. Its for the GSM variant. The CDMA variant is called the i515 and the battery door clips are slightly off on each device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
It might work, probably a bit on the tight side though. The battery door clips don't have anything to do with the case tbh.

I guess the only way of really knowing is to try yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
does anyone make just an aluminum bumper that just goes around the top and side bezels? i know the ebay one in the other thread, but is there a smaller one available?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
the metal plate on the case is glued together, it's not removable, and because it's a had case it was made for the i9250, it will not fit the i515.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SSHGuru:
No, just metal so far.

I've been thinking about making a TPU one that just goes around the edges but I don't know if there is enough demand.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lush78:
i bought the casemate barely there case the day the gnex was released... yet i have never even taken it out of the package or tried it.. i love the feel and look of the naked phone... i have however, wore the black paint off from around the camera lens from taking it in and out of my pocket... it is now silver on the raised black part above the lens...

I want to buy this nice case from zenus: http://zenuscaseusa.com/androids/ga...-nexus-prestige-carbon-slim-diary-series.html

But it looks like that they use magnetic system for the clasp...

Anybody has experience about magnetic closure case with Galaxy Nexus??

Will it make any problem with the screen??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
A Find...

Been looking for a simple pouch, with no magnets, no funky logos, simple belt clip, would fit my GNex with Diztronic case and have a reasonable price tag.

Got this, and I am suitably impressed! Yet to see anything like it.

Right, but the posts are no longer cataloged, so it's just a big jumble of peoples' posts that one has to look through to try to find the info they need. Really kills the whole idea of this post being a wiki.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kadajawi:
I'm looking for a case that will protect my (future) GN. I'll probably need good protection (I have dropped my HTC Magic countless times (really a tough phone, never had protection on it, but the screen never cracked (well, plastic) or scratched (ok, a few very small scratches), the rest of it is in a rather bad shape though). The phone is like a bar of soap, but since the GN is rather expensive I want to have great protection.

However it shouldn't be too bulky either. I have looked through a lot of stuff here, but I still don't know. Most websites etc. don't mention how fat the phone gets. Otterbox is one of very few manufacturers that lists the dimensions of the phone with case, and in the case of the Commuter it's very thick (EVO 3D and Atrix are just as thick, even though those phones are much thicker). I guess it should be a hybrid case, but which one is slim and offers good to great protection?

Any ideas? The Case Mate Pop looks good, Commuter would be great wouldn't it be so fat, Incipio NGP looks good, but probably not enough protection?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UltraBoykj:
Just got a Trident Kraken and I love it. Belt clip and great protection. Certainly not for the folks that want a minimalistic look though. Snug fit and looks good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
I have an SGP Ultra Hybrid, i think you should take a look on that one. It is very thin and offers a complete body protection(ie does not lets corners exposed as ringke earth etc)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ignign0kt:
Anyone find any good unobtrusive slim cases that work well with an extended battery for the GSM version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rasinell:
ive been through so many different cases but finally found one im gonna stick with (i think :) ) sgp neo hybrid. fits gsm nexus with oem extended battery perfectly, looks good, adds very little bulk, charger and headphone sockets fit... job done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kadajawi:
Yeah, I have looked at SGP. :) But I think one review said SGP cases weren't meant to offer drop protection? Scratches I don't care about (not much at least... you should see my Magic!). But a not functioning phone would be bad. If the Neo or Ultra Hybrid to offer good drop protection that would be good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidtoy09:
I love my Incipio NGP case. it's perfect for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] untruestory:
Looking for a 3500 battery with a case to fit for my gsm Gnex. Seidio has it but it's a little on the expensive side. See any?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
I dont think they will offer good drop protection...

At least the Ultra Hybrid, its more of a stylish/slim case. When i use my phone with the Ultra i am aware i have to treat it carefully. I feel that if i drop it , lets say to the floor really hard ... the result wont be good.

BUT,

Rest in peace that with my CruzerLite TPU A2 cases... i am super relaxed. I have dropped the phone, to the floor.. several times and i am always confident nothing happens to it, because the case works and its really good absorbing impact. Even if it lands with the front side, ... the lip makes a really good job on not letting it have contact with anything else!!!

I just have the Ultra to change cases and feel... i have lots of TPU so the ultra is when i just want a rest from the TPU feel. I enjoy the feel in hand plus the buttons.... feels better to click my Ultra Hybrid buttons than my stock Gnex. I love them!

Grip is also much better in the A2, so its a personal choice. I think the better value and wisest choice if you want style and proctetion... ill hand it to the CruzerLite A2. If you want something more high quality and slimmer. (If you have a GSM and stock battery), Ultra Hybrid will work as a charm.. I just wanted to try the SGP brand...

Whatever you do its just a case!, Both choices are much better than the average. You can't go wrong with these 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chili_red:
I just got the Seidio Active case and holster and they are still my favorite, not too thin and not too thick and still offer plenty of protection.

I'll be putting up a couple new Otterbox Defender cases for the Nexus in the market sometime later this week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coderedpl:
So I've had the otterbox defender with the belt clip for a while now, got it a few days after I bought my Galaxy Nexus and I'm honestly getting a wee-bit tired of the bulkiness BUT I LOVE the protection. I've dropped my phone MANY MANY times and it's still like new.

So now I'm looking for something different with a belt-clip or I just might have to figure out a way to carry my phone with me without the belt-clip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr_Hanneman:
I got Diztronic Matte Back Black rev.3 and looks amazing with samsung extended battery.Very thin, seems made for extended battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carolinaguy99:
I can confirm that the Verizon Shell / Holster (Snap-On Hardshell) -- Holster and kickstand works for the GSM model. I have it on my play store variant as we speak. Had one of these on my incredible s and liked it, so went to my local VZW to see if this would fit the gsm.... sure enough, like a glove!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbell13:
I bought the SGP Neo Hybrid and cut the stupid rubber back out with my stupidly sharp knife, so now I have a bumper :-)

Looks awesome, not too slippery, pretty much just like the Neo Hybrid EX I had on my Galaxy SII.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stratoox:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asianrage:
Are you using it on a VZW version? or the GSM version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dylyxcore:
What are you guys using for GSM with Samsung extended battery (2000mah)? I bought the casemate barely there for the I515 (Verizon) to see if it fits snug; loved that case on my Nexus One.

GSM Extended Battery Case

Can't wait till more cases are posted!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsnake:
one option is to just leave the battery cover off..

The extended battery (7.7Wh) isn't much thicker, so when I leave the battery cover off, my case fits perfectly and is tight enough to hold the battery in.

I'm not sure what case I have, I bought it at a kiosk. It has a semi-transparent back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mini21:
Hello.

(sorry if the question asked in the wrong section)

I wanted to ask for help in selecting the case.

I have a Galaxy Nexus I9250 (GSM) with extended battery and looking into the case.

The offer available in our country covers I liked the Otterbox Defender due to the belt clip (belt clip is very important to me)

I just wanted to make sure that it will match I9250 with extended battery included?

The cover bears the name of the I515 and the end do not know if it will fit with the i9250.

Currently I have a Krusell case Orbitflex, but I'm not too happy with him.

Thank you for your help.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Steve Jobs®:
Hi,

I really like the look of this case, but can anyone provide me with hands on experience with this case using the GSM Nexus from Google Play? Does it fit the GSM version? I read reviews on the companies website and it does not specify whether it does or not, but only provides brief description of it.

Incipio Silicrylic (Tough hardshell) -- Video Review

Also, what would be your recommendation for cases? I am looking for something sturdy but not too bulky.

Thank you in advance for your responses.

**UPDATE: After carefully watching youtube's reviews, it fits the GSM version but has a gap in between since the Verizon Nexus is a bit bigger.

Can anyone recommend me a case for the GSM version that fits perfectly and is completely BLACK and is hardshell so it wont break on drops.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pharpe:
So I'm looking for the thinnest case available that actually covers all four sides and the back. Can be soft or hard as long as it fits snugly on the Verizon Gnex with extended battery. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

I'm thinking about this: http://www.droid-life.com/2012/03/22/case-review-ringke-slim-extended-case-for-galaxy-nexus/

http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSR2SS..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1337951673&sr=1-1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I wont suggest any of them, the ringke does not protect the side and will not fit the vgnex well, the seidio is not actaully thin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pharpe:
Glad i asked. Are there any you do suggest?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
If you really like the ringke, they do have a LTE version, but still, it doesn't protect the sides, as for recommendation, if you want full protection in a small and slim form factor, there really isn't one, I use the mercury case, which i considered is very good, link in my sig, but not too sure if it fits the vgnex, but someone did say it will fit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asianrage:
The Ringke does have a CDMA version and it does fit well.

The Seidio is one of the best option if you want really good protection, without the bulk. It is ergonomically very slim and feels great in the hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I have stated the LTE version one post up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] suprafreak1000:
Yes, but you stated that it doesn't fit well, when it indeed does fit perfectly fine. It's not made to protect the sides all the way up to the glass or anything..

What asianrage was referring to I'd assume, and I as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
If you read post 354 refer to the gsm version, this was the first slim version released, whiles the LTE was the updated version made for the verizon version, post 356 refers to lte with the LTE in decription, the post has stated the info, but i did get the info mixed up from the link posted as I mistaken it for the GSM version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pharpe:
Well I want ahead and ordered this one. I figured for $9.98 I'd give it a try. I'll report back when I get it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SNNTEC:
excellent post *thumbs up*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] towmii:
Aren't the dimensions of the GSM GNex with extended battery the same as a standard LTE GNex? Therefore, will an latter's cases fit better for the former?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I think there is a slight differences in size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Treggs:
Had a quick scan of the thread and didn't see a Spigen Crumena mentioned. I have one and can confirm it fits the GSM with and without the extended battery nicely. It's a snug fit but I can't see any reason an LTE one with an official extended battery wouldn't fit. Very high quality case too and I'm very happy with it. I usually have my GNex naked but the Crumena gets used when I know I'm going places it won't like.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
the LTE is more fat :D, but it's a leather case, so it stretch over time, it also fit GSM with extended battery :D
