White case that won't get dirty - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Can anyone suggest a white case that won't get discolored? White phones don't get dirty/discolored from normal use so there must be a case that won't either. Here's my white mercury case and you can see its gotten discolored in a week. I've tried cleaning with lots of different things but nothing works. So any case suggestions would be appreciated. Or should I just give up and get a black one.

Problem is , most companies make cheap cases, and that means cheap coloring whether its in the mold or the finish. I suggest looking for a white molded case made out of PVC, if that's possible. Cheap finishes especialy white will always fade or discolor.
Go with black !
Maybe someone else has had better luck, hope you find what you need.

Been using the white case from cruzerlite since it was rlsd about a month ago and no yellow tinting or dirt. And I use my phone everywhere.

I have the white cruzer lite.
nice case but I regret buying white. I played golf last week and use golfshot. Big mistake. The andy android fellow got all dirty and discolored. I was able to wash it off with bleach spray. However now I am noticing that the corners are getting blue lines on them, from what I think is from my jeans. Not sure, but it wont come off.

While its not entirely white, I do use the SGP Neo Hybrid, white and it hasnt gotten dirty. I cut out the back, as someone on XDA did as well, and I love it. See pics from Rootzwiki i posted:

I also ordered the Rigke Slim for the LTE Galaxy Nexus in white. It should ship today, and Ill post back how it handles dirt. I work in Construction and my phones are always exposed to getting their share of dirt/mud/mortar etc.

idont think its the dies so much as the materials. A lot of plastics yellow.. especialy when exposed to uv. and especially when white.
I know where your coming from. I have a white case as well. i think white looks good with the nexus. (wish i knew about the white nex coming to vz before i bought mine 16 days ago)
check wikipedia on plastics as far as i know only abs does not yellow. I think pvc is pretty good as well. so what ever case you buy look up the material its made with and check if it discolors...
good luck and when you do find one.. post your results here!

Sorry that I can't find it directly but someone has posted it before in a thread in the accessories section. I believe the thread had something to do with skins and towards the end of the thread someone posted it. Its been awhile though. I'll post it if I find it . Looked good.

I know of a few sites that offer white decals to go on the front of the phone but unfortunately though you would have to buy the back side too. So if you got a white phone already then you would have an extra skin laying around.

A couple that pop into my head are:
http://www.skinit.com <~ they deal with the verizon models I found out the hard way, but I believe you have to make it as a custom skin so it may cost you some more money.
http://www.decalgirl.com/skins/95096/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Skin-Solid-State-White <~ the gsm model fits here. I am not sure with them though if it has a screen protector built into the decal or not. I have never ordered from them before.
Edit: It has been confirmed in the thread that it in fact does NOT include a screen protector.

Incipio feather

Im interested in the incipio feather after reading many reviews. I'm fairly set on it unless anyone has a better alternative. I have 2 tpu cases that I don't use anymore and would like to step up.
Also, I'm tossed on the color to get. I'm leaning towards the blue cause I like the look of the Lumia 900, but I don't know if its too much. I would consider another brand if it is recommend tho?
I just got the blue one last week on my Black E4GT. Love it.

I have a black e4gt. I wish incipio made a white feather, but they dont. thats why im on the blue one now. All the other colors dont seem right for me.

I'd suggest getting the light grey feather then do minor sanding then paint/seal it.
Thanks for the suggestion. I really don't want to mess with it, kor do I have the time. Just seems odd they wouldn't make a white version.

true, my white sline got pretty dirty, but it depends on the material used. That was a very easily stained rubber. a feather case with an overcoat like they make for iphone would more than suffice for the average user

Case mate pop case and visor ag screen protector

Heres a few pics of the casemate case for the s3. I had to go to an at&t store because bestbuy had no accessories (prolly be here on 28th right lol) and i didnt like the sprint ones. And it has a VISOR AG screen protector on it. If your like me and had no clue what these were basically its a screen protector that covers the whole front of the phone not just the screen its self. Its clear for the screen and if you notice its clear not cut out for the back and menu buttons. Then the outer layer is white or blue depending on what color you have. Also this screen protector is fingerprint and bubble free. Normally im an otterbox defender or ballistic HC guy but i gotta admit im liking this

I just ran up to the att store and bought the same setup you did. The grip on the side was most important and it is outstanding. The visor screen cover is excellent as well because there is little to no touch loss. In addition its washable and replaceable. My phone was blue and they only had the white visor, so now it appears white with the white case.
Cons: the stand is very flimsy, but I don't care I never use it.
Loving it, thanks for the heads up.

It's an awesome case. I'm glad I got it as well!
It's rubbery where it needs to be, and hard case where it needs to be.

I've got the same case, direct from Case-mate (Used code 'tough' for 20% off, not sure if it's still active FYI).
I love the case, with one exception.... that kickstand is damn flimsy and unless you're on a PERFECT level surface, forget about Portrait mode. (And yes the website says it's good for portrait or laandscape).
I've emailed Case-Mate to see if they are aware of the kickstand issues and are planning to do anything about them (like retool to a metal like Seidio)....
I need to find a Seidio one local so I can see it in action to determine which I'll keep for the long haul. This one feels real nice in the hand though.
Still waiting on my screen protectors in the mail.. bought like 3 different brands (2 cheapie and 1 seidio), figure i'll try something new

Good :
- Rubber grips on the side
- Buttons click well
- Kickstand
- Feels sturdy overall
- Headphone jack area accommodates even the largest jacks.
Bad :
- Kickstand feels flimsy
- Rubber on back peels and stains the back of the case (will wipe off though)
- Back is raised so it doesn't rest on the rubber grips. It'll spin in place.
- Headphone port area cracked a little (tiny) when trying to remove phone from case. In other words, not enough plastic.
Advice: Buy but only in white (Which I have). It scratches easily like Speck cases. You won't see scratches on the white but I guarantee you'll see them all over the black one within 5 minutes of putting it on.

I wonder how this will work or if it even will work with a glass screen protector?
First off its called the ivisor. I have had this same setup for over a month now. I got tired of the sp yes it looks good but go out in the sunlight and try to use your phone its impossible to see.

I've used AG iVisor for a few phones now and they have always been outstanding. I presently have one on a SGS 2, Nokia Lumia 900 and my SGS3.
So I seem to have issue with the SGS3s iVisor. While the iVisor fits well, when I put a case on, it pushes the sides of the iVisor up and away from the screen, simply pushing it off the face of the phone. I have tried 3 different cases (non of which are the same as mentioned in the OP), that being said, the case should not matter...
Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?
I attribute it to the (almost zero edge) construction of the phone. This problem has not occurred on either of the other devices mentioned.
Yes the case does make a diffence some just push up the ivisor I have this problem with many of cases on reason I don't recommended this product.

wash your jeans after you buy them so the treatment chemcials dont bleed the color through
I've been wearing raw denim jeans for years and have yet to find a way to keep light colored phone cases from discoloring. I've just resorted to using dark color cases.
What the guy above me said. There really isn't much you can to. TPU cases are usually the worse too, usually only last a couple weeks.
Try using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I've used it to remove jean stains from everything from white leather sofas to different materials on the various shoes in my collection.

[Q] Anyone know of a clear (not smokey) TPU case?

I love the faux brushed metallic finish on the back of the titanium Note II, and while I have to have a case to protect the phone, I want to be able to see that nice design on the back. What I'd like is a clear TPU case that I can see the back of the phone through, but most of what I find either has some sort of plaid design, or has a smokey/blurry finish to it. Here are some examples of what I've found so far:
A little hard to see, but the back cover is not perfectly clear, so the back cover will likely not show the brushed design.
This one is plaid, but seems to show that a clear case is doable.
This one may be the best one, but I'm not a big fan of the X
Anyone have any ideas? The other issue is most of the sample images use the white version, so it's hard to tell how they'll look on the titanium model. Thanks for your help!
You could try a zagg full body cover I've used them on other phones. Doesn't add any bulk and definitely protect against scratches. Not much shock absorption though lol.
Good luck

I'd love to do that, but I'm more concerned with dropping the phone than scratching it
I bought a half clear and half blue transparent case thats got a kickstand. Its pretty nice and the back is clear and the blue parts are very nice light blue color. It cost all of 2.97 on amazon!
It was made by a company called fomson? Forson? Something like that. Just search for note 2 cases on amazon and theres lots of varieties...and they are dirt cheap. I bought another just because it was so cheap.
Ill never buy those expensive 30 dollar sprint store or best buy 25 dollar ugly black cases.
Or an otterbox......ew I hate those...
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
This was the closest thing I could find on Amazon, but again, notice how the case makes the back look silver, instead of making the brushed design visible.
I may just be SOL on this one...

Do either of you have the titanium Note II? If so, does the pattern show up with this case? Also, is that completely TPU, or is it hard plastic on the back? I'm worried about the impact resistance on the hard plastic cases.
