VIDEO REVIEW: SGP Ultra Capsule Case for Galaxy Nexus - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys,
Got my hands on the Ultra Capsule case from SGP, this is a TPU style case that offers a slim and stylish design but not much protection. I love the look of the case and the ports/cutouts are spot-on. The case fits my GSM Galaxy Nexus (w/ extended battery) just fine. Full video below:

Anytime - thanks for the kind words

Bought the soul black color because of this video (I don't like the white one LOL) and it's a purchase I don't regret at all. This is waaay better than the Neo ones. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for the Video :laugh:

I have this case and love it. Well for the most part. I have the white one and over the 4/5 months I've had it, it has picked up a yellowish tint on the back. Which is a shame because now I'm looking to replace it because of that.
I'm very tempted to go for exactly the same again, but I'm also shopping around looking for White TPU cases that are very thin and light.
Any recommendations on that front?

Check overstock. They had some barely there cases.

Any idea if your blue jeans are marking on the white case?

I was looking at this a few days ago. One of the other products that SGP has makes it look like the HTC One X if you have the white casing on.

Most attractive cases

Hi everyone,
What are some of the most aesthetically pleasing/best looking cases you've come across? I'm personally a really big fan of the Zenus cases:

I just like the black rubber gel that t-mobile sells. all black and sexy. and i've dropped it many many times. perfectly fine.
this is my phone case i think its pretty nice
EDIT: it looks alot better in real life lol
Bought this one for my girlfriend - http://www.speckproducts.com/smart-...cases/fitted-samsung-vibrant-case-purple.html
I think it looks pretty nice.

Ultra thin and truly protect it.

i used to have the case mate tough case but then i switched to the melkco. the casemate would always get stuck in my pocket n the rubber part would pick up alot of lint. the melkco is just very nice looking it fits really snug only bad part is the cover part gets kind of annoying when playing games or on a phone call, but you get used to it.

You mentioned this works with the extended battery, does that include the verizon model and does it leave any abnormal bulge. The high gloss case from verizon fits really nice but the speaker cutout has a small gap. With OCD its very annoying.
Excellent product from a company with REAL customer service.

+1. Great case and great customer service. Even if there's a better case out there for my need, I'd still buy a Diztronic case, simply because I want to support companies with old-fashioned customer service.
Ordered one last nite. Can't wait to see how it fits with the extended battery

Fits fine, loved the case...
I have to say though, after using it for a week I took it off, and I had forgotten how slim and light the phone is.
Going caseless now...
I couldn't find the Black Matte v3 cases on Amazon during CES. I ended up ordering a transparent black which I'm unsure if I'll like. I really wanted the black matte as shown in the video and seeing it makes me want it more.
yeah, the guys were at ces, but contact them im sure they ll help you out
I like the case, but I want one in white. Anyone has an email for them, or will I have to open a ticket?
I would love white, but I bought my GF a white TPU case last year and the thing is dank now. I bought her a pink one when I ordered my Diztronic case.
I'll see about the smoke gray. It might not be too bad. I like my SGP Black case now because I don't even notice its on. The black blends in with the screen so well it just feels normal.

You're right. I bought a white TPU case from Diztronic for my Thundebolt last year, and in a couple months, the color went from (somewhat) white to a ugly combo of ugly yellow/pinkish white. Of course it was a glossy version, so perhaps a matte white combo would work better... maybe...
Right now I have a Hybrid S-line TPU that I got for a buck from eBay, and I just love how the white rim of the case contrasts so well against the black face of the phone. It doesn't fit with the extended battery cover though, which is a bummer.
just bought one on ebay !
Thank you !
cant wait, just not sure how it ships to israel and australia faster than canada?
Just search diztronic nexus, only this showed up, bought the back matte

new case needed

hey guys,
I have a sgs2 and my case just broke (just wear n tear did not drop it) its the SGP Samsung Galaxy S2 Case Ultra Capsule - YELLOW
I really like colour but its barely lasted 4 months esp for that price...
Having read the reviews I see people are highly recommending both:
- case mate tough case
- otterbox case
trouble is i can only find them in black and I really like a colourful case but cant justify spending £20 every 4 months
So what would you do? Is there a nice yellow / blue reliable strong case out there or do I have to go for either one of the other 2 mentioned above, in which case which one would you choose?
Please help
Thanks
Pretty and tough don't mix well together.
I have the Case Mate Tough, it's a very solid case especially for the price ($16 on Amazon). My only gripe with it is that it's a dust magnet, but nothing a quick wipe can't take care of.
The Otterbox Commuter is similarly prices, and looks slightly better than the Case Mate, however I think it's a little bulkier. Yo can't go wrong with either.
If you want a coloured yet strong case, check out the Trident Aegis. I'm not a fan of it's design though.
is the back part where it covers the battery plastic or silicon like?
i have a imak black case and its has a plastic backing, i thought it would be bad at first but i realised it will keep its shape from wear and tear since its only the sides that need stretching.
chose wisely, the case had before this one would apply pressure on the power button and turn the phone off an on.

i have an otter box and it is the best case i have owned.
For me it adds a bit of weight and thinkness to the phone which i like but the best thing about it is the fit. it is perfect
Check out the non slim Momax case..
It is soft plastic on the side/edge and then hard plastic on the back.

Can Anyone suggest a good (Preferably White) Case?

Hey Guys I'm getting a Galaxy Note (White) and I want a good Case that has the following:
-Slim, with little bulk
-White Preferably but can be different
-Raises screen from flat surface
-Covers Buttons Preferably but doesn't have to
-All around good protection and can take a fall!
If anyone has a case or knows of a case like that please feel free to leave a comment!
Thanks for the Help!
I have the SGP Ultra Capsule White case love it so far no complaints
I have the.ringke slim. probably the slimmest around. Took a lot of droppings. Still great.

I have that case and absolutely love it. It's not too thick 3mm? I have no idea. But the tpu sides make it easy to grip and the frosted plastic back gives it a nice look imo. Cut outs are PERFECT too. pressing the side buttons can be a little hard sometimes though, but I usually use the home button to wake the phone.
I have been using a Rearth Ringke Slim since day one and I love it, especially since it has plugs for the charging port and the headphone jack. The screen protector they include is pretty good as well. It's a bit on the expensive side but I think it's worth it. The bottom lip was a millimeter or two off and they sent me another one. I think the white on white looks beautiful.

You should take a look at the Seidio Active Cases. Exceptional quality.

Look for them on eBay if you intend to buy it. It's a lot cheaper there.

I can also second the SGP Ultra Capsule White. It does all that you ask for. The build quality is fantastic where the cut-outs for ports are near perfect. Bright white colour with a slightly glossy look.
Aslo, for the ~£18 you also get a very good screen protector.

Can anyone with an SGP confirm or deny?
If you like your case, please also tell us how long you've had it and the condition it is in today.
i'm also looking for this kind of case, can someone confirm whether the SGP Ultra capsule white is a finger print magnet due to its glossy surface?
I have the Boxwave White TPU with Frosted back case mentioned earlier. It's a nice case but a little thick. The back is pretty touch and is thick enough so that the camera glass is protected.
My biggest complaint is that it picked up blue stains from a pair of new jeans. Took a couple of weeks for the blue to disappear from the case. After about 3 months, the tpu sides are starting to have a very slight yellowish color to them. Tried scrubbing it with Comet Cleaner but did not help.
I also agree that the volume and power buttons can be a little difficult to push and the volume buttons kind of creak, its the TPU rubbing against the the button.
It's not my favorite case I've owned but I'm also not in a hurry to replace it.

Thanks for the feedback! After posting this a lot of people say White Cases turn yellow or start to stain... So I think I am going to go with a Capdase Alumor Metal case instead! Thanks!! you just saved me from a crappy purchase!

+ 1 excellent case.
I have this one in white.
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Samsung-Gala...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item7915e57204
It's got a great fit-n-finish to it. Provides clean access to all the ports, and has a good level of protection.
I've got the Krussell ColorCover in white (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Krusell-ColorCover-Samsung-Galaxy-89631/dp/B0072CM2MS), as I ordered a white Note, but got delivered a black one instead, so this is unused.
I know it doesnt tick all your boxes, but it is a nice case and feels very nice in the hand. You can have it for a fiver if you want. PM me if interested.

SGP Neo Hybrid - Being released weekly, starting today.

This is what I got mailed back today,
"We will be receiving shipments of each color every week. This week, we are expecting to receive the white Neo Hybrid cases for the Galaxy S3 and next week we are expecting to receive the red cases.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Thank you."
And I've just ordered the infinite white, so hope to get it soon and see how it compares to the speck and other hybrid cases
Heres also a video that they've recently uploaded. Kinda bright to see how the colors will look once they arrive but they look very slick!
Looks fugly. Also the case didn't seem to fit snug at the bottom. Hopefully someone can chime in on this.

i just ordered the infinitely white, i'm very excited!
i'm intrigued by this case as well. i wonder how much thicker/wider it makes the phone though. it looks like to have the same added size as the case-mate pop case i had on my skyrocket. if thats the case (hehe word joke) then i'll pass =/
The phone itself is already pretty thin, almost the same as the ipod touch/ a pencil so for me thickness wont be that big of a deal, unless it's something like the otter case :/

Not quite the same idea at all. The SGP is a 2 piece case with a TPU backcover + Polycarb frame. Similar to Incipio's Sylicrylic or Seidio's Active X case except it doesn't use silicone so hopefully doesn't get loose at the top/bottom end.

I wasn't talking about the material either Same color scheme sure, but more that it's a single piece case vs a 2 piece back cover + frame case.
Got my Infinity White today. Barely adds any thickness. I also have a Casemate Pop for my S3, but this is a lot lot thinner. Would recommend it for anyone looking for a thin case. My only complaints are the power button is so sensitive at first, you don't even know you've pressed it until you take your finger off of it. Also like any other matte TPU case (oh yeah, it's TPU) it's kind of slippery. But definitely recommended for anyone looking for some basic protection. Not recommend for anyone who drops their phone constantly or from high places.
