I got the Case Mate Tough in the mail today.
It goes on very snug and feels sturdy so I was excited to use it.
BUT, something doesn't fit right, and the case presses the power button and the volumer rocker down as soon as you put it on.
By that I mean, the case completely holds down the volume button (usually volume up) and the power button as soon as you put the hard shell on. Making it effectively useless.
Disclaimer: I did by this case from an accessories dealer on Amazon (Wireless Everything, I think they were called) because it was a few bucks cheaper and free shipping. But it's the Case Mate Tough.
This might be a LTE/GSM/International problem, but Case Mate does not mentioned this issue anywhere on their site, so unless they made design changes for the LTE since this was produced, do not buy.
Obviously, will not work with extended battery either. (I tried, just for laughs)

I bought mine from thecellguru, and it fits on my GSM perfectly. It actually leaves a tiny bit of room on the top of the silicon, i thought thats the space for the lte phones?
Wish I could say that was true, but mine is totally unusable.
When you slip on the hard cover it holds the volume up button down completely, so it maxes out the phone volume and then keeps beeping (the volume change sound) because the button is being "pressed" over and over and over.
The power button either becomes pressed down completely or is behind the hard case and not able to be pressed. This depends on how you put it on. I tried several different ways.
I have the same problem with the volume and power buttons but this is with the GSM Nexus. What I did was cut a slit into the volume silicon and cut out power button silicon completely. I think I replace with otter box commuter because of floppy top and bottom silicon. Casemate really dropped the ball on this one. Everyone should go complain directly to them.

I just got mine in the mail today and it you're right about it not fitting properly. It fits but the I can't press the power button. The volume button is working half the time. Bummer.
Thanks for the heads up! I was ready to hit the order button earlier today but decided to check around for feedback.
I just received my case (EU GSM version) and the problem seems to be that the fit around the power button is way too tight when you add to outer hard case. Verified by adding some paper strips around the power button.
After this it started to behave normal.
I think a couple of quick cuts with an exacto knife when I get home from work should to the trick and make a permanent fix.
The rest of the case seems great.
Not saying that this should not have been perfect out of the box, but the problem seems minimal if one can spare a couple of DIY minutes
Might be a deal breaker if one is considering buying, but should be good news for those with problems or that have already ordered.
Check the review i wrote here http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-nexus-case-mate-tough-case-black (Reviews) and also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371724&page=5 post #43 .All these some time ago with a lot of people saying how good this case is.Its actually a crap and now i am using just the silicon part.
Ah by the way i have GSM version
I have the Case-mate Tough Case for my LTE Galaxy Nexus (with Extended Battery), and it does not fit properly.
If you contact Case-mate they will send you a new case redesigned.
They have redesigned the case because the prototype phone they were given was smaller then the current Nexus (and the LTE is larger too).
My Casemate Tough fits my GSM GNEX perfectly. The difference in dimensions to the LTE version is.53mm

Did you get the revised version? Did they fix the buttons? How is the fit?

Hello All
I have seen this Hard CASE COVER for Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100. on ebay.
It is made in Korea and costs around £13 on ebay.
Has any one used this cover or any similar case?
My only problem is that delivery for UK is 15-30 days. Can I buy it from any other reliable website from UK or EU.
those look pretty good. i'm keen to hear if anyone has them
Wow i love those colours! Especially the green one. It match my shoes haha.

I have ordered mine from ebay today.
The seller says the delivery for UK will take 14-24days.
I'll report back the quality when I receive it.
hmm these look pretty nice.. interested to hear of impressions on them..
I bought this case and received it today. Overall I would rate it a 6.5/10. The power button feels terrible and is only attached by a tiny pit of plastic. Also when you apply pressure to the case below the power button it activates your phone. The frame that holds the phone in the case is not flush when snapped on especially near the volume and power buttons creating an edge that just feels uncomfortable in the hand. The phone does fit very snug in the case which is a plus.
The green one looks just marvelous. Shame about the power button though.. Gonna have to think about this one.
I just saw a WHITE power case
http://www.clickyourshop.com/extern...wer-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note-i9220-white/
And these other cases

I am not sure if they work as advertise or if its better to buy an original Samsung spare battery for my White Note.
Did u buy one if this power bank?
As the title is saying - is there any inexpensive silicone/gel case available in Europe (for instance Amazon.de) for use with extended 4000+ batteries? I have ordered for a quick test a well-priced Anker 4400 mAh and while I do not care so much about the back, now I am worried about shock-protection of the device itself (and screen) if I will accidentally drop it!
Nothing?

I bought two cases for my G7 Power on Amazon so I thought I would review them
both. I'm creating two separate posts because I took multiple pictures. I am not the
seller or affiliated with the seller just posting because this forum is so dead.
The 2nd case I bought is a basic case that fits well on the phone. The only small
complaint I have is the buttons are a little mushy with the case on. I really like
Diztronic cases for their button feel but they don't seem to make a case for the
G7 Power. The case comes in 4 different colors including Black, Red, Blue, and Green.
The case costs $5.60 on Amazon for the black with the other colors a little more or
less. Here's the link on Amazon for the BLACK case with the other colors selectable
on the Amazon web page.

Beside's the two cases I'm reviewing there are a couple more on Amazon. Be
careful selecting a case because Amazon lumps in G7 Plus cases in a search that
I believe won't work due to the teardrop notchon the G7 Plus.
Sorry I moved it to a separate thread

I've got the Spigen ($12) case for my G7 Power and it looks just like the one on the 4th photo you've uploaded. The case won't properly wrap around the chin portion of the phone... It seems to be a very common problem with this phone then...
which screen protector are you using?? i want one full cover screen protection.....
Update : Case's stiff power button now fixed
Some people have complained that the power button was a little stiff. I ordered another case recently from this Amazon seller and that issue is fixed....best case for this phone by far.
