Just bought one of those androidified A2 cases. I'm glad I asked here because I looked all over Amazon and ebay and didn't see that case. Thanks a lot

Both are high quality TPU cases. Im using the Diztronic now. Have 3 Cruzerlites on order waiting to be shipped.The Cruzerlites have ridges on the side for grip and a cool android on the back. Diztronic is matte and gloss and offers good protection. May replace the diztronic after i get the cruzerlite...haven't seen anything like it.

I bought that one and it's very protective and form fitting. I love it!

I'm using this one which is from Samsung

I had been using the diztronic tpu version 1 until I got a rearth ringke slim in the matte black color. Haven't taken the rearth off since.

Casemate Tough or Otterbox Commuter coupled with Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor & your choice of screen protector. I've spent Alot of money on cases/skins and this is the best combo for me. TPU'S are also a great value for light protection but my daily setup is the CM Tough & Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor with a Ghost Armor screen protector. These companies customer service is amongst the best in the industry.

The Diztronic TPU case is awesome. I just got mine today and it fits nicely, no shifting cutouts are perfect and adds a good visual appeal to the phone.

i exchanged a noname TPU case for a casemate barely there and much happier about it...phone weighs almost half and case is good enough for light protection.
besides, it's quite classy, TPU or casemate tough don't do justice to the Nexus...

+1 The Matte Black back is much nicer than I had expected to be, and the glossy rim around the front bezel is very generous, and the overall feel of the case is quite classy IMO.

Hey guys I wanted to buy a case mate pop case cuz I like how it looks but I remember hearing somewhere on here that they aren't selling them right now because they are making revisions on them. I seen a few on amazon still and I been tempted to buy one but does anyone know what these revisions are? Like is there something really wrong with the cases?

The current 1G version doesn't have the hole for the camera's microphone. The CM Toughcase and Barely There version does. I don't know why it wasn't included in the first iteration. Laziness, perhaps?

I'm using the OtterBox Defender Case. If you're not a fan of bulky cases it's probably not for you but, it's perfect for what I need it for.

Damn. To me it does seem like laziness lol I guess ill just wait for the revision model

Casemate barely there or Rearth Ringke Slim?

I just got my Casemate in the mail but I haven't tried the Rearth yet. I am pretty sure it is going to come down to these two and will be a tough decision.
Anyone who owns both want to take a shot at convincing me to use one over the other?

Same here. I have case mate and use it. I also have the samsung mesh case. But casemate barely there works for me.

I should have the ringke slim on Friday or so, I will post a review when I do
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

The Ringke feels good in hand(thin), and they are having it half price now.

Favorite/Current Case?

I need a case/cover something that doesn't add much bulk (thin) well protected, and looks good. What's your current or favorite case? I'm looking at this bad boy:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/350548463368

The case I am currently using for my T989 is the Diztronic Matte Back Black TPU Case. I'll be posting a review and pictures of it soon.

I got the Diztronic and it's awesome.

My favorite case by far, is this black TPU gel case. It's super slim too, and slides into my pocket. :good:

I have this one and like it.

Although I haven't seen too many cases up close, I think I would agree. The Diztronic case is slim enough to easily slide into a pocket, it fits the phone really well, and it doesn't cover anything that shouldn't be covered. I had a cheap one from Koodo first, but I hated how it covered the power and volume buttons. The Diztronic case was cheaper and looks a lot better too...just wished they had more colour options available.

Had that case, 'til I removed it one day for cleaning and found that it heavily scratched the chrome finish. And that was when I had the phone for around a month. I am now using the Trident Aegis.

I thought it was a cool case at firsst..... but then it became to cumbersome pressing the buttons & I didnt like the fact that the case made the phone a little wider. for protection the otterbox cases are the way to go but they cann be bulky, I bought myself a diztronic case and I love the fact that its fits perfectly on the phone with access to the buttons and no extra width added to the sides of the phone :good:

I bought one of the fishbone cases and am very happy so far with it. I guess it's a hybrid case in a sense.

The Diztronic is the best case I have ever had, my wife has no complaints with hers either.

Eh...gets cracked after a while (especially if you're one to carry spare batteries and take off the case all the time) , super glued a piece of it back on XD. Currently using a rugged case which feels great and has more protection than the d30 http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-RUGGE...485007?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5aea735a8f , still use the d30 though sometimes just for the hell of it, it was a good case.

Which Case?

Hi,
New phone has just arrived, which case is the best for the phone?
Looking for case that is durable and will withstand the odd drop.
I had the case mate on my s2 which was brilliant. Screen remained scratch free (no screen protector) even falling face down.
Is the case mate case for the N5 as good?
Open to alternative suggestions.
Cheers,
H

I can vouch for the Reath Ringke Fusion case. Quite slim, doesn't affect use too much but enough to provide more than adequate protection. Got both colors, get the black one. The grey looks bad in person. The back is customisable.
It is strong enough to withstand drops. But not facedown on gravel because the lip is very small.
Also you can look on ebay for some nilkin sand texture cases. They are actually very good if you want a slim case. lots of grip.

How about a spigen case? The slim armor is really a recommendation.

I went with the OEM bumper case. Figured Google would know best, and I wanted my phone to be protected the moment I took it out of the box. I do feel like something such as an otterbox would provide more protection though.

I don't really like the Ringke Fusion, there are sharp edges on the case. Thats what made me switch away from the case. Other than that its a good case.

I recommend spigen screen protectors and cruzerlite case. Look in the cruzerlite thread for pics

I'm liking my cruzerlite case. I have the Ringke slim, official Google bumper, and I like the cruzerlite the best.

I was rocking the black slim armor from spigen I got when the phone first came out. Great protection, not too bulky, protects the camera, and has a small lip on the screen so you can lay it down on its front with no worries.
I like it so much that when I heard that the bright red was more orange than red. I bought it in a heartbeat.
Only other case I got was the Ringke Fusion, works just as great and has a clear back. but dust kept getting in the back in between the case and the phone for me at least. Didn't like that...

I have a tech 21, a ballistic sg, and a spigen slim armor. They are all great. I tend to use the slim armor more being that it's smaller than the ballistic and looks better than the tech 21. The ballistic is definitely the most protective case made for the n5. But it's quite large. The spigen slim armor is still very protective and looks absolutely beautiful. The build quality is top notch.

for me, no doubt: Spigen Neo Hybrid

I am thinking abou slim armor. Its pretty expensive over here but it looks really great and people say that it is safe for our device
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I have both the Ringke Slim and the Neo Hybrid. The Slim is my choice even though it doesn't cover all of the phone. Its slim and almost makes you forget that you even have a case on the phone.
The Neo Hybrid is a good case and just adds more bulk than I personally wanted. Its not to the level of an Otterbox but still some bulk.

ZeroLemon Rugged Battery Case
I purchased a ZeroLemon 3500MaH Rugged Case. It is by all means not a slim case. it's essentially a big ole brick of bada$$ery.
C shaped connector plugs into your Nexus 5 and into the battery, Hard plastic shell with a built in screen protector snaps around that, then rubberized fits around that, then of course a belt clip lol. I'd say i'm a centimeter off from a full inch thick lol.

I currently don't have a case, but I'm looking for recommendations. Can anyone recommend a case?

If you like slim cases, I really like the Ringke Fusion Crystal View case. http://www.amazon.com/PROTECTION-FUSION®-Absorption-Yourself-Technology/dp/B00H3OUGI2
It's completely clear to let the beauty of the N5 shine through. (especially if you have the red or white N5) It's a little bit softer than the Spigen version, has good grippiness, and probably more "bounce" if you dropped it.
