Rock sleeve

Just received my Rock sleeve. I call it a sleeve because I think a case encloses the phone on all sides. This does not.
* Really thin. Adds minimum bulk to the phone.
* Slips on easily And more importantly, it slides off just as easy.
* The texture isn't as grippy as I thought it would be but it has a good feel.
* All cutouts are perfect. Still gives easy access to volume rocker and power button.
I got it on ebay from a Chinese distributor. I ordered from overseas because at the time there were no US distributors and I wanted my sleeve here when I got my phone.
I know there are probably places to order in the US now but here's the link to where I got mine.

Is there enough "lip" on the edge of the phone, so if you place the phone screen down, that the screen is not touching the table, etc?
Thanks!

My concern is for the areas that aren't covered. Have you had any drops on pavement or asphalt. That's my biggest concern because they can say whatever they want about gorilla glass 2 but it still shatters. This is the only thing stopping me from getting this kind of "sleeve."

I love mine very sleek and luxurious feeling. Looks great on white as well.

Surprise nobody is mentioning this case here. The Euro forums were all over this.
NO THIS IS NOT A SLEEVE....
The texture spongy feel is great for gripping. Is like some kind of graphite.
It comes in black/gray/purple. I got the black one.
I will post the pictures some guy took on the euro forums.

How long did it take for you to receive your case?

Amazon have it.

this is a LOW profile case. Its not meant for super durability for the people who say your screen will break when you drop your phone

Is the I9300 the same form factor as the i535 that Verizon is getting? I see some cases say i9300 while some list 9300/i535 both. The rock case seems to be in the former camp.
I ask because there were very minor but significant differences between the Galaxy Nexus versions.
Thanks, yalls.

i asked tech21 regarding the cases and SP. they said there are currently no plans to make these for nexus 5 at the moment. hmm.

just to let you guys know, bell store in yorkdale mall has the flip tech21 cases in stock for 34.99

anyone see these cases in the US?

Does not matter since they are not making anything for the nexus 5 . they sell them at best buy for the iPhone and Samsung phones.

I'm loving mine. Picked it up at my local T-Mobile store. It fits like a glove and doesn't add excessive weight/bulk to the device. I'm very happy.

I was for a little while. After a week or so of use, the buttons feel much more tactile and I can actually feel a slight click when pressing them.

A friend of mine got the case a few days ago an the clear back already has quite a bit of scratches on it which is why i decided against it. It is a nice lookin case tho

All cases with clear backs will get scratched. It all depends on how much you take care of it.

LG Hardshell

I'm seeing a few references to what looks like an official LG hardshell case for Nexus 5. Same design on the back as the phone and possibly the same material.
http://ca.shopandroid.com/lg-hardshell-black/4A123A16462.htm
http://www.amazon.ca/LG-AAA75187801-Hardshell-Nexus-Black/dp/B00GGL4XNC

Could be nice, always prefer slim shell cases over bulky ones (although I've just ordered the LG Bumper Case to come with my Nexus 5)

Actually looks the exact same as the "LG Shield " case that Bell has in stock for $20. http://www.bell.ca/Mobility/Accessories
Available in matte white or matte black.

That's awesome man! Post up some photos and a small review once it arrives. I'm looking at doing the same thing with my black n5.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Awesome, looking forward to the review. I was thinking of jumping on the white as well. I'm just concerned with it being a matte finish.
Anything that isn't black with a matte finish tends to stain easily which is probably one of the reasons why the white Nexus 5 uses a different material. I'm hoping that isn't the case with yours, so I can pick one up!

Looks just like the quick cover, but without the cover.
Honestly, the recessed button would annoy me if it weren't for the cover waking the screen. Its not all that easy to press. Other than that it seems like a great case.

I interpreted it as "we don't have them in stock yet". It was pure luck that I happened to be browsing the Bell site for N5 accessories.
I'll post here when I get an update.

Hope these come out in the UK, would be nice to have something slimmer than the bumper case (which is nice btw)

Yeah I couldn't wait for your review! I ordered a white case from the bell mobility site.
We'll see if it's just pre-order or if I get it in a week.

Awesome! Thanks for the update man. As a new Nexus owner I've been searching desperately for a stylish yet rugged case ever since it came out. Lack of case choices frowned upon me, but looks like a smile has drawn on my face. Hope my mom will order the gorgeous red case, and my fears of dropping my nexus are gone. Time to search for screen protector so

Finally. I have wanted one of these science I got my n5 going to buy it this week

Indeed. Not many aegis case reviews, and no nexus aegis reviews at all.

My previous Aegis Case for the Galaxy Nexus was amazing, gonna get this one for the Nexus 5 but I want to wait & see if I can get it for around $20 on Ebay like the last one. $35 kinda steep for a case in my opinion.

This is a damn good looking case. Not too disappointed anymore that Otterbox isn't supporting the Nexus 5.

I ordered one a few days back & it came in today. Pics and thoughts coming later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Pictures & Thought's
So, with using Trident Case in the past I thought I would go and be one of the first "testers" of the case if you want to call it that lol. The case is great and all but I will be asking for an exchange for another one because one of the problems was that the case wasn't lining up with the speaker & microphone grill. The other noted part would be the top of the phone, the first part of the case & the second part do not settle (no other words to describe, refer to pictures) & that bothers me so that's my other reason for getting a replacement.
Side Note: When I got it, the box was all beat up like it's been crushed. Not sure if Trident is at fault or USPS.

Z1 Cases that work with the official DK31 Dock

Hi guy's, I'm not sure whether to post this here or in the Q&A section but as the title says I'm trying to find a case that fits the Z1 and works with the official DK31 dock without having to modify anything.
It would be great if you could post which cases work and where to get them from as it get's really confusing going through the cases thread and some of the other threads as to which ones work

I have bought this http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/book-flip-and-stand-case-for-sony-xperia-z1-blue-p41260.htm and I can say it works great with the larger adapter in the dk31 pack. It is a book style flip case and you have to have it open to fit (which is really how I want it). No pictures as my phone is my camera but hope this helps anyone looking for a case that covers front and back and fits without any fuss (Nb/ In normal use it has a sucker on front flip which sticks to the screen to keep it closed - some will not mind this but you may). The back also folds to hold the phone in a useable landscape position on its own.
I was just looking for a cheap case while a sought out a premium one - but this is a keeper.

Well I got my Pudini case through this morning which was very quick delivery, and it fits lovely plus it works with the dock using the large adapter the only down side is that it's a bit slippery but for £3.95 who can grumble
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Confirmed, the case mate slim folio works with the dock. Here's mine on charge
The case folds back to allow the phone to fit.
This is the third party cheap dock but I see no reason why it wouldn't work with any dock as it adds zero thickness, and zero length to the phone.
I tried it in my other dock too.
