Great case/holster and cheap! - Nexus 5 Accessories

So I found this case at a mall kiosk. Same as the one in the link below. I wanted an otterbox type case/holster cause I'm in construction and my phone can take a beating. But, all the heavy duty cases with holsters are ugly, to me anyway. So I found this at the mall. Not near as protective for sure, so I'll need to be far more careful at work, but great looking and comfortable .....after I got used to its square edges. It fits snug into the holster as well. Love the cut out for the nexus logo too. My finger rests in it when I hold the phone.
Another bonus is the mime ghost glass screen protector I just got today. It fit perfectly between the sides of the case. The case is very tight and there's no way the thick glass would fit under the case edges. So I got lucky. LOL. I was going to file the glass down if I had to. But no need.
Highly recommended, the case and the mime.

Just got this same case but from shopandroid for under 10 bucks and it included a second one free. It's much nicer than I was expecting and I plan on using it regularly after having gone through 8 other cases that just didn't do it for me. The case has a nice matte finish very similar to the feel of the phone itself and it's always a bonus to have the nexus logo visible. It may not be as thin as some cases available but it doesn't add excess bulk or weight either. I don't plan on using the holster much but it also exceeded my expectations. The best purchase for my N5 up to date.

Plastic Case Review

So I just got another new case.
I got it from eBay seller augustonline for $3.89 w/ free shipping.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Rubber-Ha...000-GALAXY-S-/150475142893?pt=PDA_Accessories
This is similar to the mesh snap-on case that others have posted about. It's a single piece that snaps on to the back of the phone. The material is hard plastic but it has a bit of a rubberized feel which provides just a little grip.
The fit is perfect. And, unlike the mesh case, it does not have the awkward cutout for the TV antenna that the Korean cases have.
As others have pointed out with this type of case, it does not provide full protection for all sides. I was also concerned about this, but found that it wraps around the edges just enough to protect the face of the phone. So, if you place it face-down the phone doesn't touch. Also, the corners are protected but the top and bottom are exposed.
It's a solid color with no branding so if you really like the Galaxy S logo, you won't be able to see it with this case.
All in all, this is a nice case and if you like this type of case, I would definitely recommend it. It fits well, has a nice clean look to it, and is less than $5. I think this will be my daily driver for a while (or until some positive reviews of the SGP Slider case start coming in).
Sweet as I was wondering whether the fit would be good or not, so thats good news
Can't wait for my orange one to get here!
Cool good to know it fits perfectly i ordered a green one of these almost two weeks ago i should be receiving it any day now
The case isn't bad for $4 (or the $8 I paid from a US seller), but don't expect it to hold up for very long. The rubberized texture is wearing off after less than a week.

I was just thinking about updating this post when I saw your reply. I noticed this morning that the rubberized coating is coming off on the corners of the case. It's not very noticeable at the moment, but I imagine it will start to peel off everywhere in the not so distant future.
For me the case is temporary until SGP gets their stuff together, but I don't think I would recommend this case to anyone that is looking for long-term protection.
that looks pretty gnarly. I have the snap on two piece case from T-Mobile. With the chrome bezel and rubbery back. Once I get bored of it I'll have to try that one.

Love this case so far. Especially with my custom logo! =D
There is no player on the warriors with the number 89. That's just the number I like personally.
I don't think this can be compared to mesh case. The quality of the korean mesh case is awesome. That is why it is like 20 bucks.

What case do fellow Captivated people recommend?

I am looking for a new case for my captivate and seem to be at a stand still. I had the Incipio Edge clear case cause when I got my phone that's all they had at AT&T. I also didn't know the case comes directly from hell! Seriously, don't get this case no matter what. Your phone is better off naked then with the Edge. Anyway, I am wanting something that isn't to expensive, cool looking, and that will protect the phone well. I have looked at the Amzer Silicone color cases but was wondering if anyone had and liked it. Also have looked at Body Glove, but still unsure of what to get. Please whatever case you have drop a response and tell me what it is and if you like it. I would appreciate all the help I can get finding the right case that I know other people have and like. Thanks fellow Captivated Android fans!

+1 It's a very nice case. Doesn't grip my pocket lining like most silicone cases. I usually prefer my phone naked, but after destroying my iphone 3g I figured I'd better be safer lol.
yes Body Glove FTW!!!
btw check the thread 'other source of Body Glove case' for cheaper deal than att.
I'm personally using the Amzer Jelly Case (which actually feels fairly solid) http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Silicone-Skin-Jelly-Case-Black-P88806.htm
available in a ton of colors and I like the elongated-X shape on the back. I'm not sure how it is with the other colors, but the white one shows it as being very opaque when it is partially translucent (I can still read the Galaxy S on the back)
haha yea trust me DO NOT get the stock cases that are 19.99...i hate it lol
I'm using the amzer crystal snap on case its great and for the price it's worth. Great look and feel with out adding much to the phone.

Bodyglove
I just got the Body Glove Mirage case also. I originally bought the OEM Carbon Fiber case directly from Samsung but returned it because it wouldn't snap closed completely. I liked the material because it felt sturdy with a nice grip but was concerned about the noticeable gap from the 2 pieces not closing properly.
The Body Glove is the best one I've seen so far although I'm not that fond of the design on the back. But it protects my phone so it's good until I find something else.
SeidioOnline has the Innocase II Surface that's "Coming Soon" which looks pretty decent. It actually looks similar to the Samsung Carbon Fiber but instead of 2 front and back pieces snapping together, it looks like a top and bottom piece kind of slides onto the phone.
Another one for Body Glove. Nice looking case and it does its job with not alot of bulk. I am looking forward to the Otterbox cases but its doubtful anything will impress me. Just too bulky but I like the protection they offer so we shall see
I am very happy with the zagg invisishield. I like that you really can't see it.
So far I have the Zagg Shield and the Body Glove Skin. But I think I'm going to get the new Body glove snap on case with the kickstand built into the clip. I find myself watching video more and more so the kickstand will come in handy.
And yeah I also made the mistake of getting the Incipio Edge case. That thing was awful. It took me 20 MINUTES to get the case off of the phone. I promptly returned it.
I currently have 3 cases. A clear plastic one from amazon. (pretty cheap and hard to get off, but a decent case for 3.99) then a clear smoke grey silicon jelly case from mr. hit (good case, add grip and looks nice too while adding protection for only 5.99!.) And the amzer luxe argyle tpu case. Which is a really nice case! A bit more pricey but worth every penny (14.99) I think. And I am a freak about protection, so underneath it all I have phantomskinz chromatic white carbon fiber stick on skin (for the days I don't wasn't to have a case on. And a plus is it looks really cool underneath the amzer luxe argyle case (and the clear smoke grey silicon one as well.)
I walked into an at&t store and a lady that worked there was amazed at my phone and showed it off to all of her co-workers.
All in all its really up to you and your taste. But IMO AMZER for the win. (or body glove tpu, as they are both tpu)!

argyle
i have the amzer argyle case (the whitish clear one) bought it from amazon and is like 2$ cheaper than the ones sold from main amzer.com. its great, the galaxy s on the back is very visible and offers protection just as good as the rubber body glove from att. way cheaper too.
I just got the body glove snap on case, with the belt clip. dosnt add alot of bulk to the phone, gives it a nice grip. good fit, all buttons and plugs easy to get to. also, found it on ebay for 17 bucks.
Body Glove Mirage case FTW!

Body Glove - real world test
Luckily, I bought the Body Glove (Mirage) last week because I dropped my phone today from about 4 or 5 feet high and it landed on asphalt. It simply bounced once and stopped. No screen scratches and not even a nick (sp?) on the case. Good stuff!
Thanks to everyone for their recommendations. I ended up going with the Amzer Jelly case in green. Awesome case that really protects my phone. Highly recommend it!

I definitely recommend the Body Glove Mirage as well. I have had the saladin captivate for only a short time but the moment I put this case on my phone felt thee times more secure in my hand. The back of the mirage case is like no other rubberized case I have ever used. It has a wonderful texture that gives the back of the phone a lot more grip. I highly recommend this case to anyone, get one while they're in stock. Almost every store that carries it in my area has been out of stock.

Best Protector Case for a captivate

Hi, i was wondering about which case buy and want to see your opinions about the best case for the cappy.
I've been watching the Trident Clyclops: http://www.cyclopscase.com/products/Trident-Cyclops-Protective-Case-for-Samsung-Captivate--Red.html
And also the otterbox http://www.otterbox.com/samsung-captivate-cases/samsung-captivate-cases,default,sc.html.

Otterbox Defender is amaxing
Sent from my Darky's ROM 10.2 EE Captivate using XDA App
I had issues getting to the four buttons with the Otterbox Defender. Nevertheless, in terms of protection, I trust them wholeheartedly.
Anyone has tested the Trident?
In addition to otterbox and cyclops look at the seidio active x.
this one http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csk3sscap-rd.htm? i like the desing
I just had my second Otterbox holster break. They replaced the first one without batting an eye. I haven't had a chance to call about #2, but frankly I'm not sure if I want to risk it. Fortunately the phone fell out while I was driving my car, not my motorcycle, but I'm not sure I want to risk it again.
So far it's the only case I've tried.
I hate to buck the trend, but I really like the cheap TPU eBay cases. I know, I know, some of us think you need to spend a lot to pamper your Cappy, but I do have my reasons.
They are cheap. I'm big on spending less than $5 for things.
TPU is a great blend of rigidity and pliability. I think silicone is a touch too soft to disperse impact energy, and hard plastic transmits the energy to the phone and often breaks in the process.
They are slick, but easy to hold. I carry my phone in my pocket. I think holsters look kinda dumb. TPU is generally very smooth and slides in and out of a pocket very nicely.
They are thin. Many of the hard molded cases turn your sexy-thin Captivate into a non-sexy blob, cool molded patterns notwithstanding. Lots of the silicone cases have kind of a shapeless look that I don't like.
I've been using a plain black TPU case for a while now, and I get lots of comments on how thin my phone is. I've also dropped it several times with no ill effect, except a less shiny spot on one corner of the cover. No complaints, and I really have a hard time imagining how the expensive ones are better.
TPU is nice and much, much better than silicone. I wish otter/seidio/trident would use TPU. I have a thin TPU case (body glove) and like it alot. Its just sometimes I want the thicker, two layered plastic and rubber case which is why I also have the seidio active.
The first case I bought was the pdair aluminum which would be a nice case but it kills the cellular signal so I can't recommend anyone buy it. Wifi works fine so if I ever travel somewhere I won't have service I plan on using it.
I like my Bodyglove case just fine. I've used it since the launch of the cappy and couldn't be happier. It's more rigid than silicone and less bulky than the otterbox. I've dropped my cappy numerous times on pavement, and as long as a jutting edge doesn't hit the screen it won't break. There is a slight lip on the front of the body glove that makes it so the screen doesn't hit when dropped on a flat surface.

Last I checked, Otterbox only has the Commuter for the S2, ATM.
Body Glove
I have bought like 5 cases for my cappy, the Otterbox, Body Glove, a slim hard plastic snap on case and a full hard snap on case.
In the end my 2 favorites are the Body Glove and the Slim snap on that snaps only on the back.
The otterbox case is nice, it is just too bulky. I use the Body Glove daily because it protects from impact, is not bulky and slides in and out of the pocket easy.
Moving forward I am all about the TPU cases.
I use this case http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BD2-HK3SSCAP-BK
Look on ebay, I've seen these for $35. Dropped the phone twice and there's no damage on the phone at all.
I use the otterbox commuter with an invisible shield screen protector. I work with concrete and often get my phone cpvered with dust and grime. The case gets really dirty but when I remove it the phone is still perfect. I would take this case over the bulky defender version.

Otterbox vs CaseMate vs Incipio for the GN

Best? Worst?
Pros and Cons?
Obivously it's a little early to have a ton of info on each (at least in the states) but I'm sure this thread will prove useful as more people at theirs.
I didnt make it out of the parking lot with the Otterbox. It's a great case and I feel like I could throw my phone off a building without any damage. However I didnt notice how much girth it added to the phone until I tried to put it in my pocket.. things a tank. Easily doubles the width, so keep that in mind if its important to you.
I have the casemate toughcase. Originally i liked it but now not so much. The silicone was a dust and pocket lint magnet and it started peeling up corners of my zagg screen protector. It just didnt fit right but i have the gsm gnex which is a tad thinner. I tested the otterbox in a vzw store tonight and i hated it. Everytime i touched the screen the protector made little tap like noises because it wasnt touching the screen. Again....i think its because the otterbox is made for the LTE nexus. I have the diztronic tpu case in matte black and also the smoke color and ive been happy with them so far. They also do not add any bulk. I have to wonder why anyone would want to get a thin and light phone only to add a bulky looking case?
I have the casemate tough case, I don't mind the dust trapping cuz it really doesn't do anything. I have the gsm version, the top and bottom part is a tinyyyy bit loose, but also doesn't bug me. The thickness is perfect and i think its as much protection as i need so... I hope that helps :0
I have case mate tough and pop case, and I highly recommend the pop case, the design, protection, feel, it sums up as the best case for me...I use otterbox for most of my devices, and the case mate pop case does not lack any of the protection compare to otterbox

I just ordered a case mate pop. How does it seal around the front face (glass)?
Also, does the part that seals to the glass attack lint?

I've had the Pop for other phones. It's a nice case, my only complaint about that series is the side rubbers. They tend to wear off as time goes on and starts becoming loose.
Provides excellent protection though.
I don't have the phone yet (ordered online) but I bought the incipio case for it earlier today. Anyone else tried it on their LTE GNex? Thoughts? I didn't see a Otterbox case for it at the Verizon store.
I got the incipio case with mine when I picked it up earlier. So far, I like it, its real tight fitting and doesn't add a whole lot of thickness. Only downside is the silicone around the edges is a lint magnet while in the pocket

Sedio has some really nice cases. I have had one for nearly 2 years now for my original Droid. It has protected it well although it did crack eventually after many drops.
I also bought the sedio car mount/charger and really liked that as well.
Sedio is a bit pricey... 2 years ago the car charger mount was at least $50 and the case was $20-$25. It was a very thin form fitting case that is plastic but has a almost rubbery feel to it. Very tough and it barley added any thickness to my Droid which was amazing. Guess that is why it was so pricey.
I got the shell holster charger combo when I ordered my GN yesterday... waiting for it to arrive... as patiently as I can!
I tried the Otterbox in the VZW store on my GNex -- certainly looked industrial and protective, but it made the phone huge. The Incipio seemed like a good compromise - the rubber inner part goes on easily, and the plastic snap-over layer keeps it nice and snug to the phone. The egde protrudes just enough so that you can place the phone glass down without the glass touching a table - perfect.
No screen protector yet - and I may not. It may not be Gorilla Glass, but it's been shown to be "fortified", and I won't put it in my pocket with keys or change... The Incipio seems like a good choice so far...
Anyone have a link for the black Case-Mate Pop case? I can only seem to find the white one.
EDIT: Nevermind, I'm an idiot

The Defender (The more expensive, bigger one) or the Commuter?
So I've already ordered the Case Mate Tough, because I didn't know there was a Pop for the Nexus yet.
They don't show it listed on the actual Case Mate site Nexus page.
What are the differences between the Tough and the Pop?

I have the Otterbox Commuter for my Razr and it looks like the silicone shares the same properties of picking up everything in my pocket. lol
I really like the Case-Mate Tough Case which I had with my HTC Sensation and it didn't pick up as much lint as the Otterbox commute or now possibly the Incipio.
I can't wait for my phone to arrive so I can finally try for myself.
Thanks!

Best case?

So I was curious what evryone thinks is the best case I was going to order the trident agies case since its so hard to find a case and also the otterbox so any idea?
HTC Thunderbolt
I have about 12-15 cases for my TB...I have tried them all pretty much...I love the TPU cases...they are super cheap and are easy to take off and put on which is nice since I use a car dock a lot...if you aren't going to take your case off much the Otterbox is great, but it is pretty big...the Seidio Convert Combo is another good one, although I am not a huge fan of the slide on case as I think it tends to scratch phones. I am not a big fan of the Trident cases...I have one and I think they fit a little on the sloppy side, and they are a PITA to put on and take off
I bought a platinum series case that Best Buy released for the Thunderbolt, and I LOVE this thing! I've dropped my phone a few times, but never hurt anything.
I've also tried otterbox, but I must say that I enjoy this case more.
It's, in all, 3 protection layers... plus a clip that locks and unlocks.
Well worth the money to me.

Great case, however it does look old very quickly as the hard plastic gets scratched very easily and after a while the rubber material inside the case starts to become worn down and begins to sort of "shave off"...I have both the black and white Pop case. White begins to yellow fairly quickly too. Great cases, but I think there are better.
The Seidio case is great, its definitely one of my favorites...unfortunately I can't use it as I have ghost armor on my phone which adds the slightest amount of thickness to it so I an unable to slide the case on without ripping the ghost armor off...not an issue for most.
I like to keep my phones in brand new shape..from the day I buy them to the day I get rid of them (helps resale value!) and I will say the best way to protect your phone and keep it looking cool is to do Ghost Armor (carbon fiber wrap, matte wrap, or normal..they have many different styles) - they also have the best screen protector HANDS DOWN, and then top it off with a clear TPU case like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Rubber-Thunde...r=8-1&keywords=Clear+TPU+case+htc+thunderbolt
This way you can see the awesome carbon fiber wrap, and add the shock protection and prevent screen cracks, etc that the ghost armor can't do (since the ghost armor simply prevents scratches and scrapes, DOES NOT save your phone from drops etc..)
I hope this really helps you out, I have spent a lot of time in this area haha...you could say I am the phone case expert

This. And I too have bought and tried a slew of them.
Currently I own the otterbox, body glove, and shell/holster. If I had to pick one it would be the shell/holster just because you get some decent protection and a way to carry it on your belt. Also if you don't want to use a screen protector it is good because while in the holster it protects your screen.
The otterbox is a great case but keep in mind just like everyone else said the screen protector is a pain. It isn't designed quite like other otterboxes in that the top is uncovered so the screen protector will never fit fully flush with the screen.
Edit: regarding the screen protectors, they are all the same. I have tried them all from the top end to the cheapest. I found that the $1 3 pack work just as well as any (Steinheil, Zagg) so no sense in spending $20 when $1 does the same.
I love my Seidio Inocase Slider, I've got it paired with a Zagg Invisible Shield (Which I kind of hate, but if does do a fantastic job protecting the screen).

The otterbox is a great case but keep in mind just like everyone else said the screen protector is a pain. It isn't designed quite like other otterboxes in that the top is uncovered so the screen protector will never fit fully flush with the screen.
Edit: regarding the screen protectors, they are all the same. I have tried them all from the top end to the cheapest. I found that the $1 3 pack work just as well as any (Steinheil, Zagg) so no sense in spending $20 when $1 does the same.

Otterbox Case- just take off the built in screen protector...its crap...I may make a case guide sometime haha - since I have so much experience with cases and I find that people are always asking about cases
Check out the case guide I made last night, should help you out a lot in deciding which case fits your needs
My personal favorite so far is the black rubber tpu case
