Although both are TPU cases, they're actually pretty different feeling in your hand. The Diztronic has two textures: the front is glossy while the back is matte. But this matte feels really, really good. It resembles really fine grit sandpaper, and gives you some grip unlike most matte TPU cases. For some reason, the clear and smoke matte Diztronic cases don't have this feel.
The A2 case obviously has a giant Android logo on the back. The TPU would be a lot more slippery if it weren't from the grooves created by the logo. Anyways, the sides of the case have noticeable ridges that provide excellent grip when holding.
I prefer the Diztronic one due to the simple design and excellent hand feel. The A2 case is also slightly bulkier than the Diztronic case and has smaller port cutouts.

I'm curious which diztronic rev 3 is the best for grip? Afraid the matte is slippery?

I ordered a glossy one and its already here before my nexus. Had it on sensation and let me tell you the grip is great. When I took case off sensation I had to put back on because of the grip.
I also read few reviews saying matte is slippery so if grip is your concern go with glossy.
I have the matte rev. 3 and it actually appears to be molded out of 2 pieces of plastic which have been bonded together. The back piece is matte and fairly slippery but the lip that wraps around the front of the phone is glossy with a good grip. It's easy to put in my pocket, and easy to hang on to. Best of both worlds?
All the cases I've seen so far seem to be matte finish, and I find the glossy TPU to provide a better grip, since the human hand usually has some amount of moisture on it. Anyone find a glossy TPU case for the N5 that won't break the bank?

Same. Glossy TPU tend to offer better grip. Loved the one I had for my G2x.
So far I have only found those S-type TPU cases. I just want a one-tone. I don't quite understand why they add the S design to it.
There's quite a few ebay listings for $3 solid colored TPU cases shipped from the PRC
Look for Cruzertlite.

Cruzerlite cases have all these awful designs. They should just make a plain one.
CIMO has a glossy TPU case on Amazon. I have a Tudia TPU case waiting on my Nexus 5 this week.
I finally want to settle down to a grippy yet very slim case. I was eyeng the quicksand cases but I think they're slippery. I've had the Spigen Neo-Hybrid and Diztronic Matte but they're slippery. I'm now stuck on the capdase xpose black. It's slim but also slippery.
Suggestions? Thanks.

Best case I've ever had. Slim and grippy.
You can get those quicksand cases for .99 cents on eBay ....

Quicksand case has the best grip for a slim case. The bearmotion is the same as the non-branded eBay version.

I don't think you'll find any slim cases that have more grip than the Quicksand cases. If you're speaking of strictly slim hardcases, they're basically the best there is for grip. The texture and material make for a case that isn't slippery.
The only other option would be to move to something more tacky/sticky. That would be more like a shiny TPU case, or something rubberish. But then it is no longer very slim.
I think you should give a Quicksand case a shot. I linked to a review thread I did, and there is a lot of pictures/discussion there.

This is spot on. I liked the grip, but with no protection for the top/bottom edges, you can crack your screen on a drop with the quicksand. I also wanted slim+grip and eventually wound up happiest with an old school silicone rubber case from ebay. Go figure, smh.

Been there, done that
I would recommend the Nillkin Frosted. There's a small lip to protect screen, it's thin, color choices, looks better than the sand cases and it's grippy.

My vote goes to the Ringke Fusion Crystal View case. It's fairly slim, clear, and the sides are a soft TPU type material. No problems with grip. http://www.amazon.com/PROTECTION-FU...sr=8-1&keywords=ringke+fusion+crystal+nexus+5
There are so many to choose from. I want something that covers all the edges of the glass, not just the sides. It shouldn't add too much bulk and look and feel decent.

spigen slim armor
I got myself spigen neo hybrid. But later on ordered slim armor because it is slimmer, and fits better in my hand. I use it with tempered glass screen protector. After couple falls on concrete not a single mark.
In my opinion neo hybrid adds huge bulk. If you want some protection with less bulk, you should try cruzerlite or diztronic tpu cases. Those are cheap and covers all edges without adding too much bulk. I personally used diztronic matte black with cheap tempered glass a few months but now I'm using LG hardshell cuz I wanted ultra thin case.
I use the spigen tempered glass screen protector with their ultra hybrid case. it fell countless times and not a sinlge mark . i dont like bulk too, and i can tell you that its less bulky than expected. keep this in mind: less bulk = less protection. (from my experience)
I'm a big fan of the slim armor case. I've tried the neo hybrid, the tech21, the sip case superlegerra, and the trident case and the slim armor is my favorite of all. It looks great and stays looking great, no wear after months of use. A little bit of bulk but you stop noticing it after a few minutes.
I use the Spigen Slim Armor. I've dropped my phone at least 5 times onto hard surfaces or concrete and no broken screen yet. My phone was in the car door sill when my wife tried to close it repeatedly and although the case shell has small marks on the edges, the screen is in tact with no damage. For me it's as good as the Otterbox Commuter I had on my previous phones but slimmer.

Spigen Neo Hybrid :good:
I really like my Diiztronic TPU case. Nice and slim, though because it is not clear I have been using a Luvvit Clear Hybrid. the Luvvit is slimmer than the other hybrids and fits more like a pure TPU.

i'll give a +1 to the Diztronic TPU case. very simple and doesnt add any bulk. not going to protect from a hard fall but will keep off the grease and scuffs from everyday use.
Rearth Ringke Fusion !

Google Bumper case for nexus 5 is very nice.
First time when I got a nice usable original case.
Spigen slim armour..not too bulky and protects well...think it was $15 on amazon.
Hi im looking to decide between the Spigen Neo Hybrid and Spigen rugged armor. I have read many reviews but none of them seems legit, so any user who have any of these cases please confirm this for me:
SPIGEN NEO HYBRID:
1. Does the sides of the plastic bumper tuns yellow after a while of use like a month or two? and if it does looses its color can i buy the bumper separately?
2. Does it provide better protection on drops as compared to the rugged armor?
SPIGEN RUGGED ARMOR:
1. Is the case too slippery?
2. How is the drop protection on this case?
I'm looking for protection over looks so please help me make a valid choice, and if you think that both the cases sucks feel free to suggest me the one you prefer.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I have the Spigen Rugged Armor, this case is good looking if you don't mind that the OnePlus logo is hidden with this case. This case also have a good grip and good drop protection.
I once dropped my 3T while using this case with the screen facing down the concrete. Fortunately, this case protected my screen from shatter. I recommended you get this case if you spend majority of your work outside office. Better safe than sorry.
I bought the Rugged Armor and I have to say I'm really impressed. It's thin, feels great and definitely isn't too slippery. The carbon fiber looks good too. The only issue is I'm not sure how much drop protection it would provide because like I say it is very thin. There's a lip over the screen but I can imagine the phone becoming disfigured underneath if it was dropped from an appreciable height. I'm usually quite careful though so I'm trying not to worry about that
Thanks for the reply guys I was slightly inclined towards the rugged armor my self, it looks frekin awesome. I'll go for it then.
Currently using the Spigen rugged armour as I was afraid of finger prints with the clear variant. Not as slippery as I expected and gives all the protection you need, saved my phone from a couple of drops and it is scratch free
I'm actually using both. I initially only had the rugged armor and then bought the Neo hybrid. I found with a glass screen protector the Rugged armor doesn't play well with it. With just a plastic screen protector the Neo hybrid looks really nice. I love em both though
I have one and it's not really a good "feel" for me. It's a great case, just not to my liking. I am rocking this one now: OnePlus 3T Case, OnePlus 3 Case, Nillkin Synthetic Fiber Premium Bumper Case Cover [Compatible with Magnetic Car Holder] for OnePlus 3T / 3 - Black. It's a lot like the OEM and fits great. With that and the LiquidSkin protector, I really like the slimness and the feel.
Been using the rugged armor for about a month.
- Not slippery
- Good protection
- Not too thick
- I think the CF is stupid. I want it plain.
9/10 would buy again.

Have had the OP3T with that case for 2 months now
1. No they don't. I just have one little scratch on the corner revealing a small white line (barely visible)
2. No idea since I haven't dropped the phone a single time. I can just say that the bumper makes the case kind of more slippery actually. Previously I rocked Spigen Ultra Hybrid on Nexus 5/Nexus6/Galaxy S6 and it was much more grippy. I felt much safer while for example on a bus, now I aim to hold it with two hands since I don't feel the grip this well. The Neo's advantage over Ultra Hybrid though, is the fact that the whole product is relatively soft and flexible so that it doesn't damage the device at all as UH used to with its back made of hard solid plastic.
9/10 very decent, non-bull**** and SOLID case anyway. Totally recommend it, the notices above are just the matter of my fussiness
