I did some research on this and the Otterbox Commuter seems to be a nice option. Bought one on ebay a few weeks ago, they are on the way to Brazil

DONATE TO ME
After spending a small fortune on cases & screen protectors. I've found Carbon Fiber Full body & screen protector kit Ghost Armor to be my favorite. I go with a casemate tough for heavy protection and either a casemate vroom or a S wave TPU for light protection. The casemate tough is similar to the otterbox commuter but has a textured & rubberized outer shell (much more grip)

Did you have any trouble, or 'trick' to getting the tough case to fit correctly? I just got mine last night (Nexus on Wed!), and I cannot get the buttons to seat corrrectly in the cutouts.

I had a tough case for my Infuse & loved it, so I really want to make this work. Any advice greatly appreciated!

This is bad advice. I dropped mine and shattered the screen less than two weeks after I bought it. I'm always super careful with my phones... but **** happens. First time I ever broke one.

I have the Otterbox Commuter and its fantastic. Best case I've ever owned for any phone I've had. Adds minimal bulk and the material is very nice to hold.

Default SGP Neo Hybrid case

I love the SGP Neo Hybrid case for my GSM Nexus. High quality material and very form-fitting with little to no added bulk.
