Galaxy Nexus w/ Extended Battery DOES FIT in Otter

[Peoplesuuck]

Change the description of the video. I watched it because of the positive reviews, and now understand the comment, but originally it was misleading and made me think that you posted this video and then found out that it does NOT work (fit) because now the phone will not turn on. Might help some viewers to watch this video without the discrepancy.

Does the Defender cover the ear speaker and front facing camera with the built in screen protector?

[aSiLeNtPeNgUiN92]

@MarkJRust No, just the screen

[MarkJRust]

@aSiLeNtPeNgUiN92 Would you recommend getting a screen protector for under the defender then to cover any open spots?

[aSiLeNtPeNgUiN92]

@MarkJRust Only if you were going to rip off the built-in screen protector; thats what i did. i really dont like the built-in one; it makes my screen look greasy no matter how hard i clean it. the top snap-in part of the inner case has protection for right about the screen (where the camera, sensors, and speaker are), and right below the screen, so a added on screen protector isnt going to help any in regards to open spots. i would just get one because the built-in one is shit.

[MarkJRust]

@aSiLeNtPeNgUiN92 Didn't taking out the built in one leave adhesive or glue on the case? Sorry for all the questions, I'm deciding if the case is worth my money.

[aSiLeNtPeNgUiN92]

@MarkJRust No problem. Mine came off very easy. all the glue stayed on the protector itself, but my friends didnt come off so easy. we just took a knife and got the rest off. i imagine you could get "Goo B Gone" or whatever that stuff is called to get the glue off.

@aSiLeNtPeNgUiN92 Thanks so much for the help, I think I'm set on the defender and will try my luck with the built in protector. I've dealt with so many screen protectors over the years I'm sick of having to install them, and trying to get them perfect. I just want a dust free and protected phone experience.

[aSiLeNtPeNgUiN92]

@MarkJRust I hear ya. Putting on screen protector after screen protector gets a bit old. this thing is a tank. if your looking for protection, i dont think there is a better case than this.

[MarkJRust]

@aSiLeNtPeNgUiN92 It'll be a tough decision, I'll take a look at the commuter but I think the built in screen protector is the deciding factor for me. I guess I'll just have to try rocking the holster for the sake of comfort and protection. Sometime I wish I didn't care so much. haha I'll wait on your video of the commuter though.

[aSiLeNtPeNgUiN92]

@MarkJRust be warned, this case makes your phone pretty difficult to get in and out of your pants (at least in jeans.) unless you keep it on the holster, i would suggest maybe getting a case with minimal rubber casing to stop the grip it keeps on the inside of your pants. maybe like the commuter. i will be doing a video on the Commuter when i get back home after new years. i dont expect you to wait till then but just letting you know.

I have the defender case with extended battery too. With time you will notice the screen protector adhesive leaking out to the right and left edge when phone is portrait oriented. I attribute this to the extra pulling. Just keep wiping it off with a damp micro fiber and keep your receipt.

D-Pryde! nice bro

[aSiLeNtPeNgUiN92]

@ifuxwitedwayne LOL, fuck yea. D Prydes the shit.

[johnc7995]

how does the commutator case fit with the extended battery? i prefer the commutator over the defender because it looks better ;p

[aSiLeNtPeNgUiN92]

@johnc7995 I don't have the Commuter yet; I just ordered it last night. When it gets here I will post a video.

[ffal139]

much, much better video this time. Thank you. This helped answer the question I had before buying extended battery and otterbox......the video was not Blair witch style.

[rightwing8877]

How do you like the otterbox case? How does it feel? Does it take away the GN beauty?

[aSiLeNtPeNgUiN92]

@rightwing8877 For the first couple days, I did like it. After a while the "death grip" it had on the inside of my pockets got REALLY annoying. It feels good in your hand. For people with "normal" sized hands, holding it will probably get some getting used to, but the feel is pretty nice; just like rubber. It definitely takes away the GNex's elegance, but you will have piece of mind that your phone is safe.
