I'm looking to pick up a holster and case, and I'm not particularly impressed with Seidio's or Bodyglove's cases. I was looking at the Speck Universal holster, and probably the Cyclops or Aegis case.
How do those work together? Anyone have experience with it?
I'm also interested in an answer to this question as well. Looking at the sizes I don't think Speck can hold the phone with Cyclops case.
Can anyone suggest any type of holster for the phone with Cyclops case?
Thanks.
considering a holster also! can't wait for everyones input

Hi guys,
I bought the galaxy nexus.
since i'm in the millitary I want to protect the phone perfectly and I though about the otterbox defender.
BUT I've seen on youtube a video that shows how the case scratchs the top of the device,the bottom and around the front camera.
I wanted to know if there is someone here has the case and could recommend me buying this or not.
thanks
Because the defender's inner frame is hard plastic, debris like sand and dust can become lodged between the frame and the device, causing scratches.
The otter box commuter has a silicon inner layer, and won't have this issue.
If you want a case LIKE the defender, maybe the trident krakken case will work? Its very similar to the defender.

but the commuter doesnt protect the screen..:/
I bought a OtterBox Defender based on my good experiences with OtterBoxes for iPhone.2 weeks into owning the case,I decided to remove it and found that a lot of dust got accumulated in the the case and the phone was scratched at the top.Not only that,I found out that the plastic frame of the screenguard had broken on one side.I'd advise you to not buy the Defender,instead something like the Trident Kraken.

That ballistic shell case looks pretty good.The Seidio Active is another great case( http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-active-case-black-p/csk3ssgnlk-bk.htm).I haven't used it though.
Thanks for this thread. I was going to buy one as I do for all of my phones. Bet I've owned six defender cases.
After reading this and the reviews on otterbox.com I think I'll buy a trident case.
I had a ballistic on the infuse I had. Was a nice case.

I used the ballistic sg case on my gs2, and my Galaxy Nexus. I was happy with the case. I decided to slim down, so I went with a tpu case.

Balistic cases dont have the port covers, which is a must for me.
The Defender was my first case, I was told in the VZW store that it might scratch the phone due to trapped dust, but it was better than nothing on day 1. I liked it alright but after a few months the clips started breaking, I bought the Kraken as a replacement.
The Kraken is an alright case, a little bulkier than the defender. I liked that it offered the same protection as the Defender, I disliked how the front LED was half covered. In the end - it was too bulky for me to keep it on forever, I would still use it if I wanted some super extra duty protection.
So I got the Commuter, I have had Commuters for my Captivate and Atrix so I am familiar with their design and function. The gnex Commuter is the same as past Commuters, if you've had one before you know how it works. (This is not true for the Defender) I've had the Commuter on for the past 6-8 months and will not be switching again. It DOES protect the screen to an extent, I have dropped my phone allot and there are no blemishes on the phone or screen or Commuter. I do have a Zagg applied, not the protector that comes with the OB. If I had it to do over I would have bought the commuter first and it would have been the only case I needed. It offers plenty of protection with minimal bulk.
Anyone know of any good cases that are similar to this?
I have the Trident Aegis and Casemate Tough. Both great cases but I use the Casemate more often.
Thanks! Looked at the Casemate and seem to be expensive for my wallet. I went ahead and bought this http://www.cyclopscase.com/kraken-a...-s-ii-epic-4g-touch-sph-d710-ballistic-green/
The Trident Kraken is a nice case more similar to the Otterbox Defender than the Commuter due to its bulk. Its a good case but a bit large for my taste.
I just found out I'm getting a free Otterbox thru work later this week, not sure what case they got me though. You can never have too many cases
Hey
I'm looking through a bunch of cases and I was wondering what case I should get.
Is there a case that doesn't take away that slim but has the protection of a ballistic case *doesn't have to be exact but good protection*
Thanks=))))
Casemate Tough is the case typically on my phone. It does not offer Ballistix case protection but its good and my phone geta dropped and beaten by a 2 year old. My other cases are Trident Aegis and TPU. Trident Aegis is also a good case but thicker and heavier then Casemate.

I've heard the aegis and the tough case are similar sizes. I used the casemate for a while and it's definitely one of the thicker cases.
I currently use the diztronic tpu case which is plenty for the occasional drops. How much protection do you need?

Hello anyone come across a case wi1a kickstand like the spigen cases for Samsung that come with a kickstand you can pull out. I have come across the heavy duty cases with kickstands but them ones are too big?
There is a MoKo case that I have and that looks like a Spigen Slim Armor : http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-ASUS-Zen...qid=1450950199&sr=8-1&keywords=moko+zenfone+2 but it doesn't have a kickstand and the grey/colored part feel a little bit cheap
