Trust me, I've read about 200 topics in this section and searched over ebay and amazon. At this point it looks like my best bet would be the ottorbox commuter case. I want something that isn't too bulky that still protects my phone. I have an OEM VzW 2100mah extended battery w/ back door.

Honestly I don't really see any difference in the size of the phone so I wondered if that would work? Also any feedback from an owner of the ottorbox commuter case would be awesome. Just as well, if you found a better case let me know.

I've read hundreds of reviews and they all contradict other cases reviews.

Example: Review on case A. "I've tried that case B for my phone and it was awful! Too bulky and annoying. This is perfect!"

Then you go to case B's page and you see the same thing.

"Just got this is the mail to replace case A! That piece of junk makes the phone way too bulky and annoying. I love this one though, so much better!"

It's really frustrating lol. Hoping to get some input from actual nexus owners here. So. Best protection without affecting the overall size and shape of the device. Also, none of those little cheap slip on plastic one. Needs to work for a drop, not just scratches in my pocket. Thanks in advance...

Stop wasting money on phone cases when you can buy a new rear housing on eBay for $25. I've dropped my naked nexus plenty of times and the worst that happens is the battery door pops off along with the battery but never any major damage. I do however use a ghost armor screen protector.

Here is a link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/160852983518?redirect=mobile

But if you absolutely must have a case I recommend the seidio surface. Link: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-surface-case-holster-black-p/bd2-hr3ssgnl-bk.htm

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GeekMcLeod:
Just because you have dropped it without severe damage doesn't mean someone else won't. A screen protector helps scratches, not drops. I "wasted" money on a otterbox and couldn't be happier with it. Not sure with series of case it is, but it has helped a lot. I'm not sure how well this case would work with a extended battery though.

Sure a housing is only $25 but look how much the front glass is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] webdave:
Cases are a very subjective thing. Somone's favorite case could be another's least favorite. Only thing you can do is view the pros/cons to each case you are interested in or check it out yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lythandra:
I have the Seidio Active with the prop up tab thingy (which works well) and I am very happy with it. $20 on amazon vs $35 on Seidio's site.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
The money will not be wasted, thanks. I work at a stone masonry. If I happen to drop my phone, it's going to land hard on a lot of rocks. :) A simple clip isn't going to get the job done.

I know this sort of thing depends on the user, which is why I'm asking for your experiences with cases. Success stories and failures. Naturally I want something that isn't going to double the size of the phone and make it awkward to hold in my hand. At the same time I don't want a phone condom. *Those slip on rubbers ;) *

Say I find a case that looks nice and has decent reviews on Amazon and buy it and it sucks and someone here says "Well I could have told you that..." etc.

Also something that doesn't keep me from being able to press the very edges of my screen. My otterbox did that with my X2 and drove me crazy.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbh87:
Most of the bulkier cases are going to go right to the edge of the screen. I've never personally been a fan of Otterbox but the Trident Aegis is a similar case and comes in a variety of colors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marcb:
I like the Nillkin cases... They are slim, nice looking and hard enough to protect your device...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brycekerr:
I've had the same question as the OP for a while now but have not really posted about it because there is a case thread stickied (though outdated). I have the ringke slim which looks nice but offers minimal protection and will eventually fade/crack (I've had two). I know seidio now has a line of cases just for the OEM extended battery and I've had good luck with them in the past.

With my two previous HTC phones I said the same thing. But with the GNex that's not the case. I dropped mine once from about two feet(got caught in a plastic bag I was pulling out of my car) and it got a chip in the back. Sgp neo hybrid is not perfect, but the most bearable protection I've found.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leppo:
I received my (GSM) phone with an Otterbox Commuter, and it was a little too bulky for my tastes. Also, the gummy rubber surrounding the screen makes it difficult to slide it smoothly in/out of a pants pocket. Picked up a Mercury TPU case off eBay for $7, and haven't looked back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r_nt:
Dunno about the best case, but I picked up the Dizio case for about 10 bucks for my GSM model and it's been all I've needed so far. It's slim and has protected the phone from a couple of drops; fits with the 2000mAh battery and extended back, which isn't all that extended, actually; and comes with a screen protector. I was thinking about only keeping it until I found something better, but haven't even looked for another since I put it on. Side note: my sib liked it enough to get one for her Gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AshtonTS:
I have a Cruzer Lite Androidified A2 case for mine. Its not a heavy duty case by any means, but it's nice looking and gets the job done. My concern is more with pocket scratches and stuff than drops though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlexWekell:
Go for the Cruzer Lite Androidified Cases:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...axy+nexus&sprefix=cruzer+lite+android,aps,411

They look great, and are extremely functional
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] decalex:
I love the cruzerlite cases for light protection.. however, with my gsm gnex, 2 of the 3 cases I bought are kind of loose. I'll assuming they're made to fit the extended bat. The argyle case is the only one I have that actually fits well.

Anyone have other tpu recommendations that snugly fit the gsm version with standard battery? I hope I can return these androidified ones that are too big.

I have the Seidio Active Combo (came with my phone when I bought it) and I would highly recommend it:

http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-active-case-holster-black-p/bd2-hk3ssgnl-bk.htm

I have never been one to use cases on cell phones but I really like this case and can see my self using it quite a bit (probably just because my phone is still new and I want to keep it nice for as long as possible). I don't think I will use the holster much but the rubber case and then the hard shell case that snaps on over the rubber case seems like a really good idea. The hard shell piece that snaps on gives added protection on the corners and the back of the phone but you can take it off if you don't want the slightly added bulk and weight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbutt:
I've been using mercury brand tpu case. It's about $4.98, but shipping from Korea took about 2 weeks, but was free, so no complaints there. I also was given an SGP ultra hybrid case as a gift. Absolutely love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nburnes:
Diztronic case fits snug with the standard battery and even stretches a little for the GSM Extended.

I have the smokey one and like it a ton.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
This thread talks about the ability to add the brightness slider to the pull down notification area by doing the following mod in SystemUI.apk:

Open res/layout/tw_status_bar_expanded.xml and removing the android:visibility="gone" from the following line:

<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:focusable="true" android:visibility="gone" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="56.0dip">

Well, Ninjamorph cannot handle this task since you need to decompile tw_status_bar_expanded.xml to edit that code line, so if anyone could use my attached already highly modded SystemUI.apk (it has a toggle edits, GPS icon removed, battery icons) and decompile, edit the code line, recompile and repost, I would much appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
This should work. There were 2 errors while de-compiling regarding your e911 cross hair images. No errors on building though so should be ok.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
Thanks.. I will try it out and report back. Likely, the errors were the fact that the 2 GPS crosshair images were deleted :) that stops those annoying crosshairs from showing up :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
UPDATE: so... yes the 2 errors were the missing png files for the GPS icon. I could fix that easy though with Ninjamorph.

Now, you got the brightness slider in place BUT it does not work :) it doesn't do anything. I don't blame this on you so no worries as it seems to mean that some other additinal edit needs to be made as this just put the slider in place BUT does not actually activate it's function. So.. kinda worthless sadly :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Half way there :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
true that.. but I dont know the other half and it would no doubt require deeper edited code to make the slider actually do something :)

oh well, thanks for the help as I did not expect this would be the outcome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Yeah it looks like the Power Widget edits are what actually do the stuff that slider is requesting. Unfortunately I don't have time to do much smali'ing now, but maybe somebody can finish it up for you. Or in reverse, take a completed one and move your images over to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
agreed 100%. I would have to carry over my battery images and the GPS cross hair mod - which I can do with Ninjamorph easy - but then I need to use whatever toggle setup comes in the completed one that has the brightness slider and I rather like the ones I got.

So, for now, I guess I will just sit tight on what I have.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rehpyc:
If you like your current toggles, it's only a matter of swapping out the images of lidroid.

[HTC Sensation] 5luvyleevz:
Hello people. Basically I was sitting at home today, picked up my Sensation (Running CM10 Kang) and I started up GNow and said "Hello". Obviously it just responded with a google search for the word "Hello". Which then made me wonder, would it be possible to get GNow to give custom responses? The same has been done on jailbroken iOS for Siri and I just thought it'd be pretty cool. Even better than just custom responses would be hardware control. For example "Turn off my bluetooth" would turn on bluetooth and so on... Though I have no idea what the process is in the app that decides wether or not to reply with voice or with a google search :confused:

Just an idea!

[Nexus 7 Accessories] tmitko:
Hi all,

I am new on xda dev in terms of posting, but I have been readings forums around for a while. I too am looking for a case for my nexus 7 in the UK and am disappointed by the current offering (I do realise the tablet is still pretty new and more cases will come in the future). I did come across one today and it actually doesn't look too bad, seeing it seems pretty thin and well, cheap, too. I am new, so I am not allowed to post links yet, but if you go on amazon UK and search for TeckNet Nexus 7, you will see it. It kinda looks like an Apple smart case (which would be perfect for the nexus, tbh):p

does anyone happen to have it or want to share some opinion about it? For the 5 pounds, I give it a try. They do have them in different colours, too.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Troute:
It's pretty much the same generic folding lid fake leather case a dozen other sellers are offering, good price though and it would do till something better comes along.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] tmitko:
yeah, that's what I am thinking :) I know the fake leather blows and all, but oh well, I am carrying my nexus in one of those bags that came with leather shoes so it might be a nice step up :laugh:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bencallis:
How's the case? I have been looking for a long time and there still doesn't seem to be anything perfect yet. At £6 this seems like a good stop gap. The only thing that is putting me off is the fact that it covers the bezel. Is this annoying when using the tablet?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] tmitko:
Sorry mate, I ended up getting the LuvTab case (a pretty good one, btw), so can't tell you about this one.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bencallis:
In that case I have just put an order in. I will let you know what it's like when it arrives. Hopefully it will be as slim as it looks in the images.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] tmitko:
Yeah, do post an impression on the case :) For 6 pounds you surely can't go wrong, if in real life it looks the way it does online! On the sidenote, have you considered this one?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultra-Sli...ches&var=&hash=item3a79167146#ht_11291wt_1115

For the price it doesn't look bad, it's thin and does not cover the bezel.

If I recall correctly you can push plan b to your phone from the play website and it'll fire up and trace your phone. This of course depends on if your phone is still linked to your play account.

Seems the FBI - TSA pple took the Camera SD card and Iphone + another HARD DRIVE !!)) .............. major major pains as I travel a lot and if they wanted to see my DATA = they welcome to do that anyday ,,,, nothing to hide !!

So I found out my "bags" was opened and things taken @ arrival in NEW ORLENS @ and contracted TSA. They jsut 'blow me off' saying " not them" - even though their STAFF told me = the video shows " they are checking your phone and camera" ....

SO I installed "find my phone" and it located the ADDRESS !!! ............. and hours later - it wasnt "alive anymore" so am guess a HAMMER was placed thru it ,,, and dumped!! = no sign ofmy 64GB card !! .............

So I know YOUR PAINS

> here is what u can do >>

since I see from your post , you already have another ANDROID phone

- install PLAN B

- go to settings and enter all the details it asks for lost phone ((((

do NOT LOOSE purchase receiopts of your stolen phone)))

- PUSH PLAN B to the lost phone

and watch its " tracking" and location

- call police with Printed locations and or show them the location on your new phone

most times - few police WILL HELP you

often they too busy blah blah
