Excellent thin case for LTE Nexus w/ Extended Battery, December 20, 2011
This review is from: Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible *Revision 3* TPU Case & Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Nexus (SCH-i515 & GT-i9250) [Diztronic Retail Packaging] (Wireless Phone Accessory)
This one is my current favorite thin case. I really like the texture of this matte black case. Fits the Verizon version of the Galaxy Nexus with extended battery really well. No issues with the volume button action through the case. The phone in this case feels as slim as the phone without a case.
When putting on the case, it looked like it wasn't going to fit perfectly, with what appeared to be a gap at the lower left edge. But, after smoothing the case out a bit, it turns out the case does indeed fit very well.
FWIW, I've tried three of the cases Verizon sells:
1. Otterbox Defender - Protects phone really well; very nicely constructed. But, I don't like the optical quality of the built-in screen protector and it made the phone just thick/long enough with just the right amount of stickiness, that twice the phone got wedged in my pocket while sitting down, making it impossible to remove the phone without first standing up. I wasn't too crazy about the bulk of the holster attachment. Hoever, if you don't mind a bulky case that really protects the phone, this is the case to buy.
2. Incipio - This would have been my preferred case in that it had a rigid piece of plastic keeping the silicon snug against the phone. But, it does add a little bulk given the thick silicon/plastic back and I wasn't as happy with the plastic edges when grasping the phone.
3. One of the soft matte black cases. This one goes on/off the phone really easily; great if you have to swap the battery out a lot. But, it does add a bit of bulk.

Fits the Samsung Extended Battery, December 18, 2011
This review is from: Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible *Revision 3* TPU Case & Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Nexus (SCH-i515 & GT-i9250) [Diztronic Retail Packaging] (Wireless Phone Accessory)
This case fits the stock phone very well, but the stock battery didn't cut it for me. So I went out and purchased the Samsung extended life battery and back cover combo to get more life out of the phone. I put this case back on after the swap, and lo and behold, it still fit - albeit tightly. For the first day or so the volume rocker gave me trouble (ghost pushes and unwanted volume changes), but that went away as the case stretched to accommodate the slightly larger battery and cover.
Battery issue aside, this case makes using the phone a better experience. The TPU adds just enough thickness to make manipulating the phone feel more secure, and the screen protector that comes with it is decent (but I still ordered a better quality one). Overall, this is a great addition to an already great phone. Recommended.

Should have made cutout for the volume buttons., December 20, 2011
This review is from: Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible *Revision 3* TPU Case & Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Nexus (SCH-i515 & GT-i9250) [Diztronic Retail Packaging] (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I really wish they made a cut out for the volume buttons. Every other button has a cut out. It's too easy to accidentally trigger those buttons when just holding onto the case. Case fits well otherwise.
