Yeah its loose. I didn't like the case at all. Got the white one. Was loose like you mentioned, squeaking noise and all. And the color got messed up real easily. Diztronic cases are the way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Getch78:
Kind of a weird question, but has anyone removed the sticker on the inside?

I know it says do not remove, and this seller really emphasizes it too: http://www.ebay.com/itm/11082657369...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_8590wt_905

Leaves a sticky residue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceejay83:
i got one of these also but like my diztronic more. the cutout for the charger isn't big enough. my stock charger cord falls out easily
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I have 4 of these and so far all USB cable I have fits perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceejay83:
Yes it fits fine if you just leave it alone and let it charge. But when you use your phone and move it around it falls off easily
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
not for me, I also use my phone whiles charging and playing games.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
May I just add that this is also my experience. I don't have issues with the charger falling off on both my mercury cases. It fits well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ficklecycler:
Waited two weeks for mine to show, but nothing. Seller is going to resend it. I've got to have one in turquoise!

Just wanted to add for the folks who are getting squeaking...you might be able to stick some masking tape in the case. Just one layer along the edges should keep it from making any noise and isn't going to goof up the phone or the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daewond3r:
I got my black case last night and while it does fit fairly well, I'm not that fond of it. The back is definitely molded to fit the stock battery cover and I have the extended one. It just feels weird to me.

If anyone wants it, PM me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s44:
Just got mine and -- at least out of the box -- it doesn't really fit my LTE Nexus, even with the battery cover off. Not quite making it around the screen, which defeats the main point of having a case.

Looks really nice, though. Maybe I can get it stretched a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] i n f a m o u s:
Looks exactly like SGP but I prefer Mercury because of the volume and power button cutouts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
is this with normal battery or extended.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breezer23:
With the standard batter and the back door off it is a very close fit but not quite there. It's a strange fit which causes weird noises when gripping it tightly on both sides. I will say that for the price it's hard to really be at fault with the downsides.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luxoriouz:
It's cool man..

thanks for your Ebay link..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CoronaDelux:
Does this have a lip to protect the screen face down? Was thinking of getting the SGP tpu case, but this one has cutout for power/volume and is half the price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
yes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CoronaDelux:
Thanks. Unfortunately this seller is not located on amazon as I have gift cards to redeem, but at $7.50 a pop, how can you lose lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leppo:
I picked up the mint green version thanks to this thread. Liking it a lot more than the Otterbox Commuter that I received with my phone. Way easier to get into a pocket since it is made of less gummy material. Definitely a keeper
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daewond3r:
If anyone wants a black one, I'm not using mine. Tried it on for a minute and didn't like it. Basically brand new. PM me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
Actually the Mercury case covers too much of the screen for my liking.

But given the price, if you don't mind your screen appearing smaller and the possibility of it lifting up your screen protector, it's still a good purchase.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leppo:
My case doesn't touch my screen protector (a cheapo full-frontal protector) at all... Also, it doesn't even touch the front panel, let alone the actual display area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
I mean the faceplate in general. It's not that noticeable unless you have a SGP TPU case for comparison. But it could be a real problem for anyone using a full coverage wet screen protector. The reason that I gave away my Mercury case is because it kept lifting up my XO skin screen protector and introduced dirt under it.

This is my only real complaint about Mercury. But like I said before, the price is unbeatable for the quality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CoronaDelux:
I just received my case yesterday and the lip is much smaller than my diztronic case. The only downside I have so far is the squeaking the case makes but hopefully this will go away after getting broken in...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbh87:
Got mine in today and the quality is excellent. I like it better than my diztronic as far as how it feels. I went with the sky blue which ended up being a mistake because it's much lighter than what it looked like in the pics.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
hello kms108 and EVIL_JIMMY,

which color is the best anti fingerprint and dust magnet? and is the front face lip thicker or thinner?

i would like to purchase either white, lime, yellow or black one but still confuse which one to choose. i prefer the one which not a fingerprint magnet. i'm using momax icase pro black right now. it has thicker lips on the front side which i like, makes me feel safer when dropping the phone face down, the tpu material on the side is not slippery and kind of anti fingerprint. but the momax icase pro lacks in covering the bottom ports, the mercury case has the perfect fit to cover the bottom.

i also wonder which case is more reluctant to survive of a face down drop accident,.all tpu material or a hybrid (tpu+pc) one?

i've read some posting and found conclusion that dual layer protection or even more is the way to go for face down drop test, but i couldn't find any dual layer case which uses tpu and pc material, they are all come with silicone and polycarbonate only.

thanks in advance, have a great weekend you all! :)

update:

never mind the question what is tougher and such. i just read these articles regarding pros and cons of tpu and pc:

phonecasescovers polycarbonate

phonecasescovers thermoplastic polyurethane

i don't know whether it's valid information or not, but it seems TPU is better absorbing shock compared to PC. correct me if i'm wrong here. the momax does include PC at the back, but it doesn't add a soft silicone layer to prevent it from scratching the original nexus backplate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DustyFarts:
Wow..i just saw this case & the video review looks great..Looking for the black for sure. :good:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xyourlocaldjx:
My cousin just bought me one direct from Korea and it fits like garbage. Only the top fits in and the bottom is now long enough to stretch over. Sides also have the same problem. Even tried with the battery cover off And still no luck. Are you guys all using the gsm phones?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
JIMMY EVIL confirms this case is not made from TPU. Some folks at local forum complaints that there's one made in China while the original is made in Korea.

I myself wonder how to check if I got the real TPU case.

update:

the box itself said that the material in use is TPU. :D

Just got mine this morning. They were more slippery and less thicker lips for the front face glass guard than momax icase pro, but i love every colors of them. They fit naturally with the official extended battery, only the white one was not cut so perfect. Thanks a bunch kms108! :)

The box clearly said that it is made from TPU material and I guess these below photos are the reason why the sticker is for. Hehehe

Just want to update, after using one week of this case, it's not so slippery in hand anymore. Perhaps the heat inside of my pocket and my sweaty hand makes the case more sticky but not too sticky to slide in and out my jeans.

Now i love using the case, it gets better over time. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doodsz:
How does it feel in the hand?

Is the case thick?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
It feels great. It adds build quality. Only couples mm thicker just like all soft cases.

It's slippery at first though not that kind of slippery as without the case. It gets more sticky after using it a couple days.

So far so good. I kept changing colors each week. I own five of them. Thanks to kms108. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
from my experience using nillkin mobile skin case clear black, momax icase pro black, and mercury pearl jelly case (black, white, green lime, yellow, red wine):

the best grip is with momax (the tpu material is stickier) > mercury (less sticky than momax but still sticky enough compared without case, funny the black and white are the stickiest) > nillkin (the most lest sticky but still sticky enough compared without stock)

the best build quality feel is with momax > mercury > nillkin

the best touch feel on power button and volume rocker is with momax (bigger cuts) > mercury (perfect cuts) > nillkin (no cuts at all)

momax has ticker and fatter lips (protects the front glass better, watch out for screen guard bubbles) while mercury and nillkin just have good enough lips to protect the front glass when falls face down. i haven't found any bubbles yet on my nillkin anti glare screen guard for this last two weeks using mercury cases.

momax has this square shape cuts for the bottom audio port and mic hole, while mercury has perfect cuts. i forgot about nillkin, have sold it to someone else to purchase momax back then. :P

overall, i'm very satisfied with mercury pearl jelly case. mercury is cheaper than momax and nillkin. hope this helps. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doodsz:
Thanks for the info.

I'm getting the mercury sometime this week from a seller based in Korea by the name of shimshop.

I've heard that this seller has legit stuff from the batteries and whatnot :D

& also its cheap :D (€5) plus free shipping! :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] achan68:
Yes, +1

My first purchase from them a few months ago was an sgp ultra hybrid. And last week i just received 3 mercury tpu cases. The previous reviews are pretty spot on...a little slippery and thicker than the sgp obviously, but for $7 or so shipped is a great case...i love my mint green case :D

They are in direct sun or light! i have the spgien one and they are practiacally the sme thing and it glitters like crazy in light.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
oh my bad, i never put it out on direct sun light since it will make the colors fade away more quickly, but thanks to the glitter it reduces the effect. consider the glitter as UV protection from sun light. it's there for a reason. :D

update:

i was wrong regarding the glitter is there for uv protection. you're right, they add the glitter to increase the wow effect in sun light, and they also have built in UV protection (not the glitter). thanks for the heads up! :)

Catherine from mercurymart.com said that they use pearl coating for UV protection to prevent colors fading away and the pearl is the glitter. so back to square one, it's there for a reason. hehe :)

I ordered my Mercury case in mint from shimshop on ebay.

I've had it for a couple of weeks now and I'm really enjoying it... except that it doesn't have a perfect fit :crying:

The bottom left area doesn't completely wrap over the edge. It's really noticeable. It may not bother some but I'm all about details and this just irks me so much! It doesn't seem like others have this problem though, so it could just be that mine was a bad batch.

I think I wanna give it another go though since I love their colour selection and great price point. Hopefully the next ones will be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
it will fit in time, give it a try, also we have to place it correctly from the start. please note that i use the gsm version with official extended battery. things could be different with verizon/sprint devices. :)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XeloOw:
The question is in the title !

WHY ??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Because it sucks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
It doesn't add (I'm fairly sure) any functionality that custom ROM's like CM7 offer, and it bloats the the size of the ROM just for bells and whistles that most nexus users hate, which is why we own nexuses.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
TouchWiz 4, like Sense, is a very well polished, fast UI, that AOSP/CM/MIUI are trying to be (and can't - lots of features missing). It's way beyond launcher. But it's made with another HW in mind, and some of its framework might depend on modified kernel functions etc. Which means - it's hard work to port such a thing across to different device.

Since there are no devs to do serious work on this one, you don't have it. It's that simple.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XeloOw:
Sad

Ah, so any TouchWiz ROM will be for the N1 , it's that ?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Aaron Clover:
I've noticed that when my G2X is plugged into my computer the bios will hang before it even starts to load drives until I unplug my phone. So far this has only affected one of my computers (Cr-48 Flashed with Insyde bios).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Same. Just different bios and probably hardware.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
I've noticed this with my Nexus S and Galaxy S II. Its probably just an overall Android issue. Its minor though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] syl0n:
This is probably because you are mounted as a USB Mass storage device and BIOS is trying to determine if it can boot off the USB device. Turn off USB booting in BIOS might fix it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
That is most likely the issue. Its not a major one by any means, at least for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Aaron Clover:
That was my first thought, and although usb storage is disabled by default I made sure it was not mounted (along with debugging just in case). I also noticed it will even hang if I plug it in while in the bios settings, and it will capture input but it won't apply it until my phone is removed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lanlee212:
This is a BIOS issue for a lot of computers. My Asus does this did it with my Eris, my girls my touch 3g and 4g, my g2x and my mother in laws sgs2.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
Yup happens with 90% of computers with 100% of Android phones. I believe it might be due to the running debugging mode. Try turning it off and seeing if it boots properly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] seier:
Try Boot Order

Hi Gang,

If you BIOS isn't complete garbage (and most of them are, but not necessarily in this way) you should be able to enable or disable booting off USB mass storage devices and or modifying your boot order putting:

1. CD-ROM

2. Primary Hard Drive and that should skip right over your

3. USB Mass Storage Device (cell phone).

I would suggest modifying your phone's primary and SD partitions to not be active which might also tell your BIOS not try to boot it, but my guess is then android won't boot on your phone either and that's a whole lot bigger of a problem.

Thanks,

Christian Blackburn
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gggirlgeek:
I think I have your answer.

If you have a Phoenix-Award Bios this is common. If not, try and look for a setting close to what I describe. It may still fix it.

Go into your Bios settings when you boot.

Under Boot Options or Advanced Bios Features menu look for a setting called "

Boot other devices

." Disable it. Reboot with the phone plugged in.

If this doesn't work also try disabling "

FDD devices

" or "

FDD controller

" or "

Floppy drive

" under the Integrated Peripherals menu. If there is a setting for "

Boot up Floppy seek

" anywhere disable that too. Try booting again.

Explanation:

Sorry I was not more specific but every Bios is a little different.

Basically, most people think this setting enables booting from a USB drive but, when disabled, USB and external drives boot just fine! I believe it's related to LAN booting instead. Basically the Bios is seeking boot commands where it shouldn't (your phone.)

Also, if you don't have a floppy drive, floppy settings are useless. The bios looks for anything even emulating a floppy drive. Causes annoyances.

This problem drove me nuts for a long time. Sometimes a mouse or wifi card even prevented it from booting. My old laptop did the same thing. I was thrilled to find the evil little culprit ("Boot Other Devices.")

Hope this helps you!

*Note: do not disable settings related to "removable devices" or "USB devices" They are not the same thing even though they sound like it. This would disable booting from external drives.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GenghisKhan67:
This also happens on some Dell laptops (especially the Latitude line). Even worse, there is no option to turn off USB booting on mine, it will hang even if a lowly USB thumb drive is plugged in. Unfortunately, the solution for me is to avoid having any such drives plugged in at boot time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gggirlgeek:
Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse, but the bios I spoke of above is on a Dell. It's not the USB devices option. It's called "Boot Other Devices." My USB devices still boot after disabling that other option.

I can stick anything in my USB ports now and no boot problems. This happened on 2 computers.

I have no solution but the same thing happened to me, I used fastboot to lock the bootloader and took it to verizon and exchanged it.

I got it to boot once after locking the bootloader but then it just stayed in the boot loop. I chalked it up to a hardware failure and moved on.
