Got my case in today, and am very pleased with it.
But......I ordered a roll of white Carbon Fiber 3M Di-Noc vinyl for a reason. After some testing, heat gun application, and stretching........
It's a little rough around the edges, couple of overlap bumps, broke through one corner (too much heat, too much stretch), but overall, I love it. Goes sooooooo well with the white phone. And I have just enough left over to redo it should I see fit. This one wasn't perfect but it was my first attempt at applying a vinyl on a compound corner(s) like that.
I love it. I may have to steal this idea from you. The white carbon fiber looks so sick

I think once I get my taxes back I'm going to order and all back Incipio Dualpro and do the plastic piece on it. I think I'd rather have a little more coverage around the phone. The feather is nice (especially out of the box, the rubbery black feels so good and fits the phone so well), but it's a little on the thin side and I tend to get drop happy from time to time.
Looks awesome man

Let me know how it comes out. I'm waiting for my taxes to come back before dropping coin on a Dualpro, but I think it's where I'm ultimately going to end up. I'd rater have complete coverage around the phone moreso than what the Feather gives.

I searched for any information on the Speck case, but didn't see anything on them. I just had one overnighted to me from Verizon, and I am really enjoying it so far. Seems very durable and looks really sweet. The power button is a bit stiff, but I have the optical button bound to wake from sleep as well so its not so bad. Speck Candyshell Case If you are interested in picking one up overnight, you can use the coupon code FREEOVERNT.
I personally wasn't too fond of that case. I bought it, had it for 3 days, and sold it on Android Central for $15. The red on the case was more pink than red and the back of the case scratches far too easily. To each their own though.
This is the case I have and I love it. I left the clear sticker on the back slides out of my pocket very easy.

Awesome case, im pretty sure your not going to get a better case protections wise. It looks really good too. It does scratch easy, but meh, its a case thats why its there. It even has raised edges so if you flip it upside down the screen doesn't touch. The fit is crazy and probably cant be topped by another case. Im waiting for unrevoked so i can root my phone and hopefully get enough battery life back to where i can ditch my massive 3500 battery and case and go back to my speck.
is this case 1 piece, or 2 like innocase active
and.anyone have any pics of it on their phone?
Nm, its a 1 piece...have 2 already

Ive used speck candy shells on all my devices (Iphone, iPad, incredible). Can't beat it for what it is, extremely durable, slim, raised front for screen protection, and fits to form of the phone. The soft inner material will never scratch, and it doesn't mess with Full screen protectors! Wish they made them in other colors.
I have this case and it's a very good case... the red areas do get discolored/dirty though

I've heard alcohol on a cotton ball will clean the pink and restore it to red.. haven't tried it yet..
This is one of the best fitting one piece cases I have had. The red does tend to get dirty easily but cleans up easily with just water and a piece of paper towel. I prefer it to the two piece cases because if you drop it it don"t fall apart like the others. Buttons were a little stiff in the beginning but have loosened up to the point where they are just perfect now. I would recommend this case to anyone.
omg thank you i was looking for this!!
Since there is no barely there case can anyone tell me what is a good thin case?
Incipio Feather for the regular Nexus S is probably the closest thing to what you're looking for. It will fit the 4g, but the power button cutout is a little off center. Doesn't really bother me at all, though--I really like the case.
Off center is fine as long as it fits
No white? Blue it is
Thanks

I have a feather too. Great case, doesnt completely cover the top n bottom of the phone but it doesnt bother me.
I jus ordered a feather. Hopefully it will be here soon. Thinness I can find
Update. Feather came today. Looks very nice. Volume is off center and I had to ever-so-slightly trim it. Very nice. Thin, feels better in my hand. $16 on eBay for the black one.
a picture is like 1000 words ...
Taken w my wife's epic 4g. Hard to snap great pics and hold it lol. Very happy w the case after the slight trim where the volume is.

Pretty nice .. Thank you for the pictures.
i bought a red feather case black was sold out at the time and thought red would be a nice change. Turns out i didn't like the red, i used RIT dye and dyed it black using a trick i remembered from my diamond years ago, came out very well. Got bored and started to use sandpaper to give it some texture, after about an hour i have a silver case with black Incipio engraving.. pretty nice. Finished off with smooth straight strokes with sandpaper. Ended up with a fairly good looking stainless steelish case.

I wrote a short review and posted it to my site (site has affiliate and non-affiliate link) along with 11 pictures. Here is a copy of the review.
Here is the case, the Incipio Feather Ultra Thin Case, I just purchased for my Nexus S 4G from Amazon. As you can see by the pictures, the case definitely lives up to its name, it is very thin and also very light. I’ve only owned it for an hour so I will not be able to report on its durability, nor will I drop my phone to test it.
The case is easy to put on and has a snug fit. The holes for the volume buttons, camera, flash and speaker line up perfectly. However, this case was designed for the Nexus S so the hole for the power button doesn’t match perfectly but doesn’t interfere with its operation. I’m able to wake and power the phone on/off easily. The case is open at the bottom and shouldn’t obstruct the use with the mini-usb and headphone jack with a dock.
It feels a little slick but not as slick as the back without a cover. I can’t feel a discernible difference in the weight and size of the phone with the case on. I can imagine this will prevent a lot of the small dings and scratches but wouldn’t offer much protection if you drop your phone. I usually buy cases for my phone but end up taking them off because of the added bulk. For me, this one is a keeper.

I think Ringke is the best case for 4g. Nice texture, good protection, looks good and fits phone perfectly. This case surpassed all my expectations.
Here's a quick & dirty pics review for the Mercury brand TPU case.
I bought this TPU case from eBay at a whopping $7.77 US total once shipped. Definitely not a bank breaker.
I have bought it from supermom28. You can get one here. I ordered it on January 4th and received on January 16th, the seller even included a cheap plastic screen cover. Sadly it seems the white color is currently out of stock, so if you are looking for one you might want to look elsewhere!
Plastic quality is very good. The first thing I noticed when unpacking it was how rigid the TPU felt. My other TPU case feels much more rubbery than this one, albeit not as much as a silicone case. This can be a pro or a con, depending on your preference.
One con I can see is that since it's less rubbery, it's also less grippy. The Nexus S in my opinion is plagued by the fact it's a slippery phone, so you have to make sure you have a strong grip when taking it out of a pocket or your purse, if you're a lady. This case does not solve this problem.
Two pros I can see however is that it will not attract dust and particles as much as more rubbery cases and it is much shinier. The case is very light reflective, definitely looks good.
The cutouts are good. They're not absolutely perfect in their location, but they're not atrocious either. One example would be the headphones jack. The edges are smooth and well finished.
It fits snugly on a i9020a model. Snugly might not even be the right word, it can even be quoted as being nearly too tight. Fitting it on the phone can be a bit difficult, mostly due to the material rigidity so it's important to fit certain edges first or your might end up with slightly misaligned power and volume buttons.
The color is vibrant. Although in the pictures it seems the white is cream, this is due to the low quality point and shoot camera I'm using with little to no possible adjustment to white balance. It is definitely white and I imagine the other colors would be as vibrant. One very nice touch is the inclusion of what resembles automotive paint flakes in the plastic, giving nice looking silvery reflective shards.
Some users have noted the obvious engrish on the case logo. If you dislike it, it can easily be "sanded" off using a cube of sugar and a bit of rubbing. Another curious inclusion however is the engrish inside the case. Just look for yourself...
Thanks for the warning Mercury, I'm sure removing this sticker could yield lethal results.
All in all, I could say I'm pretty satisfied with this TPU case. It's cheap and looks good. My only gripe would be the slippery feeling of this case. My other TPU case added grip to the phone, this one does not. Otherwise, a very solid buy.
Thanks for the review - I was having trouble deciding on which colour case to get for my new Nexus S but think I'm definitely going to go for the white one now - it looks great!
I contacted the eBay seller 'supermom28' a couple of days ago and they did reply saying they will be getting the white case back in stock, but no ETA on that so I may have to look elsewhere.
The only thing I'm not digging is the openings for the buttons, but other than that, it looks like a nice case.

This is something I'm not too sure about. On my other TPU case the buttons are covered. I like the unified look it gives. However, I kinda enjoy the feeling of pressing directly on the buttons rather than squishy rubbery plastic. They're obviously a bit recessed too so that's something else to consider.
I have two of these and I love them. Too bad the white one went up in price so high.

i got the black one, the writing on the outside comes off with your nails and i removed the sticker from the inside and it was covering a spot that's not painted!
I just got mine in the mail yesterday. I forgot to specify the color in the paypal notes and ended up getting a white one. I am not the best at putting on screen protectors so i didn't do a great job with that. But funny enough, I dropped my phone for the first time on the way to work to pick up the case. It made me realize that I really want one. Luckily, the back cover just ended up with a scratch. My phone is defiantly protected, a bit weightier, a bit thicker, but still fits in my pocket.
I've got a read one and my wife thinks it looks like a ladies phone case. I may end up getting another color

This going to be my first official review. t no one has one of these up for cruzerlite yet:surprised: , so here we go!
Case ordered late night sept.30th(basically at midnight)
Delivery received on Oct.3rd(had picked standard 5-7day delivery so that was nice and quick)
Packaging isn't over the top nor too little. Perfect amount of protection for case during delivery while at the same time making it not a hassle to open quickly and get the case on your device.
First impressions of case:
Very sleek.
Clean design
Nice color (smoke gray. The way this color looks leads me to believe the rest that they offer all look just as nice if not better. I will be buying the blue very soon and will put up pictures of it also)
Installation of the case is a Breeze. Slide bottom of device into bottom corners, then lightly press on top two corners and it slides right in. The edges of the case come just slightly up over edge of screen(see pictures) to keep the screen raised up for those face down drops or accidentally setting it screen down whilst in a drunken stupor.
it is literally completely perfect fit all around the device. The case does not peel away from edges as some silicon cases do on My Gnex. Easy access to every port(including the pins on bottom left).
Overall satisfaction: 9/10
Design is great. The android bot design across the back with low profile cruzerlite logo above speaker is very nice to look at and gives nice textured feel when holding the device. on the back i would describe it as a "soft brushed" feeling. While the edges are smooth and grippy. Makes the device much easier to hold.
There is only one very minor thing i would have liked to see, or at least am option for it. And that would be covered volume/power buttons. I work in a kitchen where toast crumbs and grease are everywhere. Being able to have those buttons covered so that none of that sneaks down between the buttons would have been a a huge plus for me. (also, folding covers/plugs for the bottom Ports would have been amazing. Tho i think i can design my own little plugs to fit nicely there very easily.)
in the end, I'm very pleased with this case. And if you are a fan of TPU cases (and if you aren't this one could probably change your mind on that) then this is the one to get for sure. Nice feel, Nice fit, great look, good choice for color options.

The orange case does look nice
For the verizon model.
First I tried the Incipio Feather. LOVED it. The slim profile, the rubbery grip, the clean look. But, it didn't offer enough protection around the ends or screen edges for me.
Cheapie on ebay as seen here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-LG-G2-V...DA_Cases&var=580258822391&hash=item4179df7db7 This one was actually surprisingly nice and one I'd used for the past 3 weeks. But....the white discolored insanely fast, it turned orange from just skin oils and such. Plus getting the top piece off if you need to remove the phone for some reason is nearly impossible without cracking it.
Enter the Incipio Dual Pro. Ding ding ding we have a winner. This thing is perfect IMO. Just enough rubber liner to cover the entire phone, and the combination around the edge of the phone screen is thin and not bulky yet plenty to offer great protection. Really really great case IMO. Think I'm done searching at this point.

The AT&T version of the DualPro is rather thin: I wouldn't have felt comfortable dropping it in that case - it didn't feel much more substantial than the Feather. nor does it have much lip to protect the front. And the AT&T one didn't come with a holster; I don't see one listed on the Incipio site for the Verizon version, so I feel confident saying that it doesn't.
Not going to drop it on it's face for no good reason. Anything can happen and I'd rather not take that risk intentionally.
The lip is rather thin, the case isn't that thick, but I don't plan to be dropping it off a balcony either. I wanted a slim profile but full coverage case for the short drops, bumps and scrapes protection. If I was truly worried about a LONG drop with screen shattering potential, then I'd definitely have considered a larger case for sure. But for my needs, the DualPro was perfect.
And it's definitely a verizon version.

Nope, got black/black. Going to eventually Di-Noc in white the hard piece and see if I can wrap it tight enough around the edges to not cause installation issues, but fine with the dual black right now.
Well, mine just got a face down drop on to the wood floor from about 3 feet up, courtesy of my son who knocked if off the shelf I had it on. It's fine I'm happy to report!
Ok, for those of you who wanted a drop test, my phone got one today. From about 7 feet off the ground. I was at work at my plant, had my phone on top of my lunch bag on top of a large metal computer station next to our break area. Someone called me and the phone vibrated it's way down the bag and off the top of the work station, and according to a co-worker who was sitting there, it smacked off the corner of the keyboard drawer that was open on the way down.
I figured it fell when I walked up and saw my lunch bag half flat (it was empty, one of those soft cooler bags), and I feared the worst because it was straight down to cement.
Both the phone and Incipio Dual Pro case are absolutely unscathed. I'm sold.
so i got the Incipio hybrid one, the one you guys are talking about it, and it fell on its face.. noo problem.
i love the case but it fell off from my desk the other day and it cracked from a corner towards the buttons
honestly that's all that was, hope it'll take more accidental beatings and survive.
i really dig the case regardless.. just don't chuck it.
May I make a suggestion I hate plastic or Rubber and I love Leather and glass. For work I need to look great (I need to look money lol) and I found this company Verus from South Korea and then I found they had cases on eBay. Pros: all leather, Holds my ID and Credit Card and very well made, like VERY well made. Cons: took 3 weeks to get it.
Anyway I bought the Black and red leather one to match my watch and bought a black tempered glass screen protector they look Awesome

Hey can you post a photo or two of the Verus case that you got?
I was looking at ordering it, but was not sure if the edges came up to protect the screen if the screen is flat on a table?
