Screen Protector & Case?

**kyle1745** · 11-26-2011, 01:58 PM

Which screen protect and case is everyone going with? I'm hoping to order them ahead of time.

Seems Zagg has screen protectors available already:

Also looking for a belt case or etc...

Based on what other said in this thread:
Best case and screen protector?

I ordered a Skinomi screen protector for 6 bucks shipped:
Amazon.com: Skinomi TechSkin - Screen Protector Shield for Samsung Galaxy Nexus: Cell Phones & Accessories

I'm still trying to figure out if the GSM cases will fit the LTE version or not. Does anyone have confirmation on this?

I heard about Ghost Armor a couple of months ago on these forums... considering the massive increase in size compared to my OG Dinc and my teeny tiny hands, I think I'm going to forgo a case and go with the Ghost Armor.

I think I answered my own question. It seems like TPU cases that were designed off of the LTE i515 version will work with the GSM i9250, however cases that were designed off of the GSM i9250 will not work with the LTE i515 due to the difference in thickness. I don't have any first hand experience with this so I'm just working off of product descriptions and reviews.

I gave this case a shot. It also comes with a screen protector:

I like that case. Added it to my wish list. Thanks for the link.

I ordered this cheap combo from Ebay, just to have something for the phone ready when I get it. I hope it fits.

If I like it, I won't get anything else for a while. I do prefer Seido and, I'd like to try the Ghost Amor for the front. However neither of this places have anything for the GN yet.

Thanks I ordered the Skinomi & Diztronic. Now I need a way to order the phone... Lets go Verizon

If you are going for that case, go here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...00_i00_details

Amazon Prime link, I got mine for 10 shipped.

Ill be going with XO Skins myself. Using it on my G Tab 10.1 and Bionic when I had it and loved it. I know their site has the wrong name, but I have confirmed with their customer service that it is for the GNex.

**ManBearPig618** · 11-26-2011, 10:34 PM

Think I'm going au naturale.

**Preach2k** · 11-26-2011, 11:01 PM

I like this Screen protector!!!

**Shimmy** · 11-26-2011, 11:13 PM

I will most likely get a case for mine. I want it to look fantastic as long as possible. Thanks for some great suggestions.

Same here. All my Gnex's sexy lady bits (and sexy man bits too. FotC reference anyone?) are gonna be flappin' in the breeze. I never put a case on my OG, and the only scratch it got over these past two years was from accidentally falling asleep while texting after a party on a beach. Woke up and the phone was buried in sand, lol.

That aside, I take pretty good care of my phones. Nothing else goes in the same pocket, I keep them away from liquids, etc etc. If I notice that it seems to scratch easily, however, I'll find the sexiest case I can.

I had the ultra clear one on my Dx, it was great no orange peal that the cheap ones bring but does scratch up. Id also be careful as it seems there is no cut out for the Front facing camera. might blur it a bit.

comparison I made with zagg

Nice case, though be careful I don't see any listing for LTE version, that can easily make that type of case not work.

I currently have the hard shell/holster combo and the Zagg Invisishield screen protector on my Droid X. I am hoping to be able to do the same for my GNex. It is the best in protection IMO. The shell/holster combo allows me to have a hard case on the device, but allows me to use a belt holster at the same time. Of course the Zagg screen protector is the best in the business and has a lifetime replacement plan, so if I have to get a warranty replacement device or the screen protector starts to peel or scratch for some reason, Zagg replaces it free (although I still pay about $4 in shipping).

I went with the TPU case from Amazon as well. I added it to another item that I was ordering anyway to put me over the $25 free shipping threshold. It's been shipped, but I haven't received it yet. I haven't used one of these before, so I don't know how it'll work out. But, my main thing was to have a case and screen protector on it from the beginning, and then afterwards I'll look for another case that I may like better.

Why do I have the feeling there will be a day when I say "Not as dumb as the time I bought a case and screen protector for Verizon's version of the Galaxy Nexus!"
