I just received the new revision of the Casemate Pop! and I wanted to write a quick review for those that were interested.
Case-Mate Samsung Galaxy Nexus Pop! Case (Case-Mate NEXUS-POP), Samsung Galaxy Nexus Cases, Covers, Accessories by Case-Mate
It seems that you should order these directly from Case-mate. Looking at the model numbers, amazon seems to have the older models still listed. You are looking for these:
Black/Grey: CM017295
Pink/Grey :CM017309
White/Grey: Not Currently available
First off the case feels extremely high quality. The idea of the case is to have the protection of the dual layer cases but co-molded together into a one piece case. It is a bit thicker than say tpu cases, but to me it feels perfect in my hand. The soft rubber is a has a nice feel, it is not too soft, and does not attract much lint. The plastic is a hard shiny plastic that adds to the rigidity and increases the protection of the phone. There is a nice lip on the screen side which provides lay flat protection.
The revision addresses the cutouts for the ports. They have really opened up the cutout for the usb port. You are NOT going to have any more problems plugging in a charger thats for sure (in my opinion a little too much.) They also added the hole for the speaker phone/camera mic which aligns perfectly.
I am using a Verizion LTE model and the extended battery fits very well in this case as well. The only thing is perhaps a slight difference in power button responsiveness, very slight. Personally I use a standard battery cover with the dremel mod for my extended battery.
Speaking of the buttons, they are covered, but case mate has done an incredible job with them. They slightly protrude out making them easy to find, and feel extremely nice to push. As far as covered buttons go, I imagine that this is as good as it gets. They feel very similar to using the phone naked.
I would highly recommend this case. I feel that it provides really a nice combination of protection and cosmetics. I also really wanted to mention the customer service that I received when I called about my case replacement. They were extremely helpful and very courteous. They shipped the case out the following day with tracking info USPS. They really made me a loyal Case-mate customer for the future. As always feel free to ask any questions.
