noticed this case no pics yet but probably will be similar to iPhone version so should have a nice minimalist design ... doesn't look like it comes with the screen protector though...
also only $4 shipping to Canada... just need the actual phone now...

I've already purchased it from Amazon (along with the Neo Hybrid) -- the picture on Spigen's website was better detailed.
Got my Slim case today along with screen protectors today. Took some pictures of it next to my Nexus 4 to do some size comparisons. *Click on images for larger sizes
Can you post a pic whit the Nexus 4 inside the case?

Weird. Thought that the dimensions of the N5 were smaller all around compared to the N4. Guess not the length.
Or I guess it's pretty much similar considering we're comparing a case, which is larger, to an actual phone.

i think the FCC dimensions were a bit off in the height.
i took the official render from Google and thew it into AutoCAD and dimensioned it out. its quite a bit taller than the N4, but width wise it is pretty similar.
but the case makes things look funny...i know for a fact the N4 is wider than the G-nex...but my G-nex fit in the case fairly snug on the sides. it was still maybe .25" taller than my G-nex.

I got the black glossy Cruzer case from Amazon and it fits snug and tight...better than my Incipio case I purchased from the Verizon store. The case is nice and durable. The power button and 3 prongs are open and the volume keys are closed with a nice rough texture. The volume keys are very easy to use since they are sealed. I recommend this case to GSM Galaxy Nexus owners and the price is not bad at all.
I gave it a 5 star review on Amazon.
Here is a link...
Check out the other designs Cruzer has... Android print case looks pretty cool too.

How is the fit and finish, for lack of a better term, of the case? How tightly does it fit around the face and how are the areas around the mold seam?
I'm currently using this Qubits case and while it is quite good, it is not perfect.

I got black. I didn't care too much about the color though. I only use the case when I am in route from one location to another. When I'm at home or at the office I take the case off.
Anyone purchase this case in any color? Reviews seem real good and it has cut outs for all ports. I just ordered the white on eBay for 7 bucks. I'll update if anyone is interested to know more about it. If anyone owns this case a quick review would be great. Here's the link to the amazon one so everyone can look at the case.

I will once I get mine. But all the reviews on the black on amazon give it real good ratings becuz of fit and cuts. I state black but they are both identical

It fits perfect. I have a LTE with extended battery. There is a slight lip so the screen won't touch anything when you lay it face down. No idea where my camera is so I can't take any pics.
is it just me, or do these seem exactly like the Diztronic but without the branding?
This is what it seems like to be honest. The diztronic without branding. I own a matte diztronic and I like it but I've been wanting a white case. Plus the case without the branding is a plus for me.

Thanks. Would appreciate if you can also mention the "bulk" it adds compared to the diztronics. Might be exactly same bulk, less, more... whichever it is, I'm curious to know.
I have both the Diztronic rev 3 case and the white cimo case. If you set the two cases side by side, you can not tell the difference, the Cimo case just does not have the emblem that is on the back. Minus that they are virtually identical. I have the matte black case for the diztronic and i would say that both these cases are the same, jus not branding on the cimo case.
Alright so I got my case today and to me its a diztronic without the icon on the back as mentioned. The case causes a lip so if placed face down on the screen, it will be lying on the case. Side by side they seemed identical as well, diztronic and this case that is.

As the name suggests, the Ultra Thin, is "ultra thin." If you want something slim, you should go with it or get the Neo Hybrid instead if you want more protection.
Well, SGP did mention they are either going to make it with TPU or semi-TPU, hopefully that's the case instead of silicone
I've had the Neo Hybrid for the SG2 but never had the sagging issue. I hope that's not the case cause I really like the feel of them. Will definitely get it when it is available.
the sagging issue is due to taking the phone out of the casing too frequently? as least that was what happened for me
the sagging issue should NOT be present in the S3 version according to SGP (in the YouTube video)... The representative or whatever commenting saying new material is being used that is stronger and will not sagg

Curious to see how a bumper will work with a phone with a curved back...
Interested to see how you guys feel about them. Please review when you get them.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Also very interested in what this looks/feels once someone has their hands on it. I'm leaning on this or a Cruzerlite TPU.
I have the Nexus 4 version and I like it a lot. I particularly like the protruding buttons that are easy to press, this is by far my favorite thing about this bumper. The grip is very comfortable due to the textured TPU material in the bottom. It doesn't secure the phone very tightly due to the plastic frames being flexible, but it is somewhat snuggly, I dropped the phone twice and it stayed in. I wouldn't trust a drop higher than 6ft+ though.
Like the oem Nexus 4 bumper, it have a weak spot under the USB port that can break in two, but mine is still fine, I think it would only happen if you constantly remove the phone many times in a day, which I don't do. I don't know how it's going to be with the Nexus 5, but with the Nexus 4 it doesn't interfere or lift the screen protector on the edges.
I use it with the XtremeGuard skin (or tempered glass), together making a very affordable but good looking combination, closest to naked but with reasonable protection. For $10 it's a very good purchase.
Hey nice find! I think Im going to order one, the poetic one looked too cheap, and I think these are the only 2 bumpers available.
Geez, I'm going to have about 5 cases soon, then probably still order the official case when its available...

Come on Google... It's basically a Ringke Slim or Spigen Ultra Fit for more than 3x the price. You could of at least slapped on the Nexus branding.

I actually prefer the Google branding. I don't think I'll ever encounter another person in real life who will know what "Nexus" refers to. Anyways, these cases look to resemble the crappy Spigen/Ringke hard cases, and not the incredible sandpaper ones on eBay. We'll have to see who decides to drop $30 and put up a review.

Only thing is that the LG Hardshell protects more, the top is not covered at all with this case and the bottom is also less covered. I don't understand why they try to sell this product for more money with less protection/functionality. Must be a mistake

I bought the older black Google Nexus 5 OEM case with the "Nexus" logo on the back. I got it on eBay for last week for like $14.00, but it kinda sucks. I shouldn't say it sucks, but definitely not my style of case. I prefer as minimal as possible, where this case has much more bulk and a thicker lip that goes over the glass. Another thing I don't like is the volume & power buttons are covered. They aren't too hard to press, but it's different for sure. I knew I should have bought the LG minimal case. I really liked the pictures and reviews. I got caught up in wanting the "Nexus" logo on the back. I was blinded!
