Camera protection for naked N5? - Nexus 5 Accessories

I'm just wondering what everyone that is leaving their n5 naked is using to protect the camera lens. I don't like putting a case on my phone and opt just to protect the screen but the camera needs protection on this phone. For now I just left the protective sticker on that came with the phone until I find a replacement.

The lens cover seems to be easily replaceable. My suggestion is to just buy a new one and fix it by yourself if it breaks/scratches.

I find that the plastic "ring" around the lens is raised slightly further than the glass. You can catch it with your fingernail. So the lens wouldn't touch the surface you lay it on which was my initial concern. This is of course expecting the surface to be flat.
I should have a case today, but have not been worrying about it otherwise.

Momax i Case Pro

Finally found a case I like, the Momax i Case Pro.
Price was around $11 USD shipped.
Reason I like this case is thick enough for basic protection and thin enough not to add any bulk.
I been looking at some of the slim case, most of them doesnt add protection to the screen side of the phone.
I think this is a great case for people who wants a slimr cases but wants protection to the edge on screen side of the phone.
The edge is made out of soft rubber materials and thin hard plastic.
As you can see the edge that stick out on the screen side is very thin.
Just enough to cover the metal-like that goes around the SGS2 screen.
Rubber button are easy to press.
Back is thick enough for camera screen not to touch a flat surface.

From the photos it appears this picks up dust/lint easily?
Can you say?

I am torn between Nilkin and the Samsung flip case

I like the idea of the flip case but the Nillkin TPU case I think will provide more protection other than a screen. I find the phone to be slippery without a case and therefore with the flip case I think it will pretty much will be the same (maybe not). Can you give me some pros and cons of each?
I have the flip case.
Pros: Looks good, no bulk
Cons: No protection from the sides or back, nothing holds the cover to protect the screen if dropped. Finally, the glue on the sides starts to wear out, the skin becomes lose with use. I posted a pick of it earlier

Thanks, I ordered the Nillking case. It's cheap enough that I can always get something else if I don't like it. Thanks again.
Do this...You can have both

Bag to hold S3 with skin case?

Anyone know a bag which has enough room to hold an s3 with a mumi tpu skin case? I really need the skin case because at work and at home I want to see the phone and especially the notification led, but to carry it I want some good protection against dust and dirt. A screen protector is not an option for me. Thanks for any hints and pointers!
I was just thinking about this after i got back from golf and having the phone in the cart it got dusty. I'm probably going to use the cloth bag that you get when you buy a bottle of Crown Royal. It's free and pretty lightweight although i don't know how smooth the insides of those bags are.
Yea something like this would be really handy... It needs to be a snug fit tho. I guess it wouldn't be too hard to make with the right material although surely someone's making something like this already?
Just for completeness I've now got this sleeve. The s3 lurks out about 2mm which I can live with. I finally did apply a scree protector (dipos crystal clear) so I think I'm fine now.

IMAK Clear Hard Cover Thoughts with Pics

IMAK Transparent Crystal Clear Hard Cover Case Shell Compatible for OnePlus On... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L4APLTA/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_awdm_KudYtb0155H8V
I ordered the above case from Amazon due to Prime shipping. Below are a few quick thoughts and photos. Photos are not the best but should give you an idea of fit.
It is exactly as advertised, a clear hard snap on case. I tend to prefer no case or a thin TPU, but at least with this case I can see the phone(I hate covering a phone with a bulky case). Even though I prefer no case, this one does look good on the phone.
Pros:
-Cut outs for power and volume are tight, but even with my sausage fingers I can hit them easily.
-looks great
-good build quality
-fits perfectly
-cheap $10 shipped
Cons:
-goes without saying but minimal protection
-biggest gripe I have, the lip on each side is equal in height to the screen. So no sitting the phone face down.
-company stamped their logo on the back. It is small so I don't mind, but it looks like a drunk cross eyed person did it. It is off center and crooked. I will have to figure out a way to rub it off it is that bad.

Does the case interfere with the flash when you use it?
I've bought one too. Now the wait begins.

[VIDEO] Casebase+Cotechs® - pics&video inside

So here I have two pretty cheap accessories products for OnePlus One
Casebase Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector TWIN PACK
I would say its a great value product as you get two for £9.99. I have an experience with Nillking product where I found this is more fingerprint resistive. Its crystal clear, no picture distortion, no sharp edges. Pretty happy with it

Cotechs® - Gel Case Skin TPU
This is really cheap but good quality gel skin. All the cut outs are in right place and align. Its really tight so it fits and hold really good. You can choose from different colour variations. For this money you can't get wrong
Good set up. So far I'm waiting on a screen protector. I thought I would be fine without a case but something like this case would be good.
Too bad they don't ship that case to the US...

Is the lip so high that you can lay the phone face down without it resting on the screen?
