Case Recommendations?

[louwill]

I bought the Otterbox case at VZW this morning for both my phone and my wife's Galaxy Nexus. Trying to decide if I like it. The phone is huge. It seems the Otterbox only makes it even bigger. What other cases are folks using? I guess I can take these Otterbox cases back if I find that I don't care for mine.

I really like incipio's cases. I'm thinking of buying one of there cases for the nexus

I went with the light blue tpu case and really like it. Gives some added protection and works great with the extended battery.

I'm enjoying the case-holster combo they sell at Verizon. Makes the phone a little easier to hold, offers really good protection for when I put it into my coat pocket, and I don't have to worry about it slipping off like I would with a TPU (I could be wrong about TPU).

I didn't get the extended battery. I figure that if in the next month or so I don't like the battery life with the regular one I'll pick up the extended. Although with 25% off accessories today when I got the phone maybe I should have gone for it.

That's the one I ended up with. It feels a touch loose on the phone though. Other than that I like it.

Incipio is what I bought. Probably will pick up a Siedo when they make a car dock and case that work together.

I just went with the silicone case at the vzw store. Not much added bulk since the thing is so big to begin with.

will the incipio feather case from thier website work with this phone? I don't line bulky cases I only go with the bearly there ones.

Anyone wish to post links to belt-clip cases I'd be interested.

Don't have a Nexus yet but this is one of my big decision factors. I don't want to put it in my pocket and is it too big to practically wear on my waist.

Thanks.

I always wear a phone on my belt, and I'm really liking this case/cover combo. Doesn't add much to the phone, and is very low profile on the belt. I've worn it since this a.m. and haven't had any issues with the size,,, in&out of cars, chairs, etc. (I was a bit worried about this too.)

I looked at the Otter box (and had one for an iPhone), but for me, even on the iPhone it seemed big... on the Nexus it seemed huge.

Does the clip swivel?

My other concern w/ this case is that it doesn't seem to cover/protect the screen. My current phone has a leather case with an easy magnetic clasp. I can't tell you how many times I've bumped/whacked the case but the phone sits inside nice & safe.

I got this belt case too. Yes it swivels and so far I like it. and it has a kick-stand.

Yes it swivels. When you put the phone in the holster, the screen is in (toward your body), so it's protected.

OK. But then the camera lens wouldn't be protected right?

As usual, gotta go with seidio for their holsters! I am liking the case combo though..

This is the kind of leather case I had in mind:
Universal Leather Pouch

But I don't usually like to pay VZW's high prices and I don't even know if the Nexus would fit in this.

Well, I am 90% set on returning the Otterbox Defender. It is just way too big and I don't care for the built-in screen protector -- seems like it washes out the phone too much. I ordered this from Amazon.

If it doesn't work out I may try the Incipio Feather as I liked it on my iPhone 4.

I got the Otterbox defender, the belt clip does not swivel. And it makes the Nexus look like a black brick ready to be thrown at a riot. Looking around for something else, but I will keep this for traveling out of town on trips like mountain biking or camping. Or riots,...

I'm torn between between one of the Incipio cases or the Diztronic option. Waiting to hear more feedback from this thread.

I almost got the hard case/cover combo but found that when worn on the belt with the phone in horizontal position, the belt clip sticks up just enough to dig into my side at times. I ended up with the soft leather/nylon belt pouch with magnetic clip. Keeps phone in horizontal orientation. So far works quite well and very comfortable.
