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

Ha. I'm doing a YouTube giveaway for my slim armor. I'm going to get the aegis in white.

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.

I'm more than capable of modeling these things, I just don't have a clue how to measure the chamfer and fillets of the tablet.

I posted on the OtterBox fb page and they said "We don't have plans for that device right now, but we'll certainly keep you posted on any changes!"
I emailed Gumdrop about a Droptech and they replied "Unfortunately, at this time we are not planning to make a case for this particular device. Please check back on our website in the near future for any new updates!"
I would like to see the case mate tough make it to the n7. I have the case on my note 2 and really like it.

How much would you be willing to spend cuz CF is not cheap. with the limited group that would buy the cases would be a minimum of $60. While it would be nice, id be just as concerned of the CF resin getting scratched as i would the device itself.

Hi *******,
Thank you for your email. Our Product Development Team has been working on cases for the Google Nexus 7 (2nd Generation). However, we do not have an official release date as of yet. Sorry for the inconvenience!

not shipping until the 16th, and no amazon prime but looks like a very nice case and 9 colors options.
Looks like it might be a little nicer than the poetic, and at least looks like some better color options.

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...
Phone doesn't even ship till Nov 22 too...

you have no idea how old those cases were or what happened to them. Doesn't mean the product is poor the user could have dropped it etc
Absolutely love these Diztronic cases. For such a cheap case their attention to detail is spot on and all cutouts are cut precisely. Going to be using this case for a while since Spigen support refuses to contact me back due to an issue with my Slim Armor case.
Let me know if you have any questions about the case!
You can order it here: http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Mat...=1384301727&sr=8-1&keywords=diztronic+nexus+5
Took 4 days for me to receive it after I ordered it.

I'm really surprised that I haven't seen anyone mention anything about this fantastic case!!
I've had one, maybe two, of these cases previously for other phones. It was a few years back, and don't really remember how I liked them. But, they have been selling them for years now, and for most major phones, so I figure they were doing well. I had been through page after page looking for a case that caught my eye. I never could really find anything that suited me, and was about to settle on the official Google (non-flip) case. Somehow, I came upon the Incipio website and found the dual pro. Went ahead and took the plunge on the blue/dark grey version.. I COULD'NT BE HAPPIER!!
Seriously, this has to be one of the best three cases out for this phone; and, in my opinion, it is the best one out. I also have the .13mm Mime glass screen protector; it fits like a charm and has no peeling issues. The "lip" of the inner silicone part of the case actually goes over the edges of the screen protector. Almost as to "protect" it from chipping/peeling.
Does anyone else have this case? If so, what do you think about it? I might can find a camera to put some pictures up if anyone is interested.

Most cases are made of some weird rubber, either they feel cheap or they get stuck in the jeanspocket.

With battery cases like this. You will lose a bar or two on cell phone reception as well as wireless. This was the case for the Galaxy S4. I believe you will lose the function of NFC as well.

How protective are aluminum cases though? I feel like TPU/plastic combos would probably protect the best since it absorbs shock better than metal.

Why does that one bottom corner stick out like that? I'm guessing that's how the case clamps together. Seems like it wouldn't feel very nice.
Yeah not bad, but I'm not a fan of Florida sticking out of the corner there. Always making a mess of things!
Also with it being an Aluminum bumper, I'm pretty sure it's aesthetics only. That's a relatively soft metal, especially with how thin is looks. Any real bump and it will probably dent/scratch easily. It's like using a thicker version of the HTC One as a protective case.

I am holding off as well. Even with the screws, not sure if it'd fit in my Seidio holster without scuffing the crap out of it. However whenever I visit this thread and look online at the pics, it seems unbalanced to me because of the screws.
Waiting for feedback on the aluminum bumper. I'm interested to find out if the bumper keep the back of the phone off of surfaces. It looks like it wouldn't protect the back of the phone at all.
