I was rocking the black slim armor from spigen I got when the phone first came out. Great protection, not too bulky, protects the camera, and has a small lip on the screen so you can lay it down on its front with no worries.
I like it so much that when I heard that the bright red was more orange than red. I bought it in a heartbeat.
Only other case I got was the Ringke Fusion, works just as great and has a clear back. but dust kept getting in the back in between the case and the phone for me at least. Didn't like that...

I have a tech 21, a ballistic sg, and a spigen slim armor. They are all great. I tend to use the slim armor more being that it's smaller than the ballistic and looks better than the tech 21. The ballistic is definitely the most protective case made for the n5. But it's quite large. The spigen slim armor is still very protective and looks absolutely beautiful. The build quality is top notch.
for me, no doubt: Spigen Neo Hybrid
I am thinking abou slim armor. Its pretty expensive over here but it looks really great and people say that it is safe for our device
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I have both the Ringke Slim and the Neo Hybrid. The Slim is my choice even though it doesn't cover all of the phone. Its slim and almost makes you forget that you even have a case on the phone.
The Neo Hybrid is a good case and just adds more bulk than I personally wanted. Its not to the level of an Otterbox but still some bulk.

ZeroLemon Rugged Battery Case
I purchased a ZeroLemon 3500MaH Rugged Case. It is by all means not a slim case. it's essentially a big ole brick of bada$$ery.
C shaped connector plugs into your Nexus 5 and into the battery, Hard plastic shell with a built in screen protector snaps around that, then rubberized fits around that, then of course a belt clip lol. I'd say i'm a centimeter off from a full inch thick lol.
I currently don't have a case, but I'm looking for recommendations. Can anyone recommend a case?

If you like slim cases, I really like the Ringke Fusion Crystal View case. http://www.amazon.com/PROTECTION-FUSION®-Absorption-Yourself-Technology/dp/B00H3OUGI2
It's completely clear to let the beauty of the N5 shine through. (especially if you have the red or white N5) It's a little bit softer than the Spigen version, has good grippiness, and probably more "bounce" if you dropped it.

Both are high quality TPU cases. Im using the Diztronic now. Have 3 Cruzerlites on order waiting to be shipped.The Cruzerlites have ridges on the side for grip and a cool android on the back.

TPU'S are also a great value for light protection but my daily setup is the CM Tough & Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor with a Ghost Armor screen protector.

The Diztronic TPU case is awesome. I just got mine today and it fits nicely, no shifting cutouts are perfect and adds a good visual appeal to the phone.
i exchanged a noname TPU case for a casemate barely there and much happier about it...phone weighs almost half and case is good enough for light protection.
besides, it's quite classy, TPU or casemate tough don't do justice to the Nexus...

The current 1G version doesn't have the hole for the camera's microphone. The CM Toughcase and Barely There version does. I don't know why it wasn't included in the first iteration. Laziness, perhaps?

Although I haven't seen too many cases up close, I think I would agree. The Diztronic case is slim enough to easily slide into a pocket, it fits the phone really well, and it doesn't cover anything that shouldn't be covered. I had a cheap one from Koodo first, but I hated how it covered the power and volume buttons. The Diztronic case was cheaper and looks a lot better too...just wished they had more colour options available.

I thought it was a cool case at firsst..... but then it became to cumbersome pressing the buttons & I didnt like the fact that the case made the phone a little wider. for protection the otterbox cases are the way to go but they cann be bulky, I bought myself a diztronic case and I love the fact that its fits perfectly on the phone with access to the buttons and no extra width added to the sides of the phone :good:
I bought one of the fishbone cases and am very happy so far with it. I guess it's a hybrid case in a sense.
The Diztronic is the best case I have ever had, my wife has no complaints with hers either.

Hi everybody.
This is my first day with my nexus 5 and I love it. I have a spigen slim armor case for it and like that to. The only thing is that the lip around the screen is very thin and I do not know if it would protect against a drop. I also have an iloome flex glass screen protector. Do any of you know if otter box or trident will make cases for the nexus 5. I am worried it will break with what I have on it now.
Thanks

Otter box says they don't have any plans on making a case for us. I-bason and ballistic , sedio all make some great cases. I also have the slim armor I feel safe enough with its lip. But on the other hand you do have a glass screen protector which will surly be closer to the lip.

I have the Ballistic SG Maxx too, I love it. It's a little bulky but feels solid. The only con for me is the hard screen protector, I love the idea, but it feels a little odd, and takes a little time to settle on the screen.
I think I might order the AEGIS. It looks promising but I wanna see some reviews first.

I would choose the Ballistic Tough Jacket MAXX (SG MAXX) for protection. I own this case and I am very satisfied with it. The only concern I have is that it attracts lint easily.
From reading reviews, I have learned that the Urbanite's coat of paint can peel off.
The Incipio Dualpro looks cheap and flimsy. The reviews are not good for it so I would not buy it.
i like the Trident N5 case I had a trident for my evo 3d many moons ago.. i always rocked otter box defender most of the time.. think ima go with the trident soon.. looks sweet

lifeproof said the same thing via facebook that they won't offer a nexus 5 case
I own both the Trident Aegis case and the Ballistic SG Maxx cases. I prefer the Ballistic SG Maxx! The Trident case is a beauty for sure no doubt there but, I found it too slippery to use. It was slippery in the hand an caused me to almost drop it a few times. Unacceptable! Also the bottom edge (where the speakers are) is slippery so you cant rest the edge on a table and balance it on your hand. Unacceptable too! I've had Trident cases for other phones and they have always been great. The build quality is awesome and it looks very nice. The speakers have dust screens on the Trident case which is a feature I was looking for but, the cutouts are too small and the sound gets muffled. Both the Trident Aegis and the Ballistic SG Maxx cases have port covers/plugs The only thing that the Trident case has that the Ballistic SG Maxx doesn't, is the dust screen filters for the speakers. I haven't had a problem with dust using the Ballistic case because it any dust tends to be more attracted to the rubber than getting in the speaker ports. The Ballistic SG Maxx case is really nice and offers a lot more protection than the Trident Aegis case. I wish Trident would come out with a Cyclops or Kracken case I am sure I'd be happy with either of those (if they were not slippery). For now though I will continue to use the Ballistic SG Maxx case be cause of the unmatched protection it offers from drops (already survived a 5 foot drop) and it's not slippery. I'm quite happy with my Ballistic case and I can not say that about the Trident one. I highly recommend the Ballistic SG Maxx and in my opinion its the best case available for the Nexus 5.

I own both the Trident Aegis case and the Ballistic SG Maxx cases. I prefer the Ballistic SG Maxx! The Trident case is a beauty for sure no doubt there but, I found it too slippery to use. It was slippery in the hand an caused me to almost drop it a few times. Unacceptable! Also the bottom edge (where the speakers are) is slippery so you cant rest the edge on a table and balance it on your hand. Unacceptable too! I've had Trident cases for other phones and they have always been great. The build quality is awesome and it looks very nice. The speakers have dust screens on the Trident case which is a feature I was looking for but, the cutouts are too small and the sound gets muffled. Both the Trident Aegis and the Ballistic SG Maxx cases have port covers/plugs The only thing that the Trident case has that the Ballistic SG Maxx doesn't, is the dust screen filters for the speakers. I haven't had a problem with dust using the Ballistic case because it any dust tends to be more attracted to the rubber than getting in the speaker ports.

I am at the desert man, dust gets everywhere, even under the screen protector.

Unfortunately, Otterbox has no interest in making more money or caring about their (ex) customers, so they don't make cases for Nexus devices.
I have the SG Maxx like you, and the only way to solve the dust under screen protector issue that I've found is to install a different screen protector. Just be careful so the sides of the Maxx don't push up off the screen the sides of the screen protector.
What about the Seidio CONVERT Combo?
I was looking for a true bumper case to use with my Nexus wireless charger car dock. However it seems that there aren't any quality ones out there. So I bought a Rearth Ringke Fusion case, remove the back and made a bumper case out of it. =) It is slimmer than Spigen Neo Hybrid. The sides are stretchy enough that can be pushed outward a bit. I have never used a true bumper case before so I'm not sure if this kind of stretchiness is normal. The back is raised enough to protect the lens. I have dBrand skin installed so there is another layer of protection for the back/lens. Hopefully it will work like a true bumper case.
Looks nice! Was it hard tot remove the back of the case? I think i'll give it a try to!

It takes quite a bit of force to take it out but just keep on trying and eventually you can push it out for sure. I have only done this on a Ringke Fusion. Spigen Ultra Hybrid is another possible candidate. However I can't guarantee the back is removable.
I like that keyboard.

Friendly advice: Don't do it. I just did, and the bumper alone is super wobly = hardly any relevant protection for the phone + uncomfortable in the hand. Tomorrow, I'm buying a superglue to glue it back together
hey what base is that holding up the wireless charger?
thats pretty much exactly what i've been looking up. want to mock up something just like it.
That base is exactly what I am looking for as well. Could you provide some more info on it thanks.
