You could possibly buy it from http://www.rearthusa.com/OnePlus-One-Case-Protection-Absorption/dp/B00MQ72YTK ? I'm saying possibly because I kept getting weird error messages while signing up as a new customer.
My experience from the past tells me that similar case from Spigen is much better than Ringke. I wish Spigen had a ultra hybrid case for OPO, but it seems very unlikely so far.

Speigen told me they have no plans of supporting the OnePlus. I even asked if it was a typo because it's really weird they'd support the amazon fire phone which will sell like 15 units (sarcasm) but the OnePlus won't? They again confirmed it wasn't a typo and they won't be making cases for the OnePlus.
Hm wow nice. So ringke changed their mind and are now making a case. Was a fan of their fusion case for the nexus 4, their nexus 5 case not so much due to the sharp edges. I hope that there's a version that is black and not the clear version as this case.

Looks pretty good and probably the nicest clear case at the moment.
Glad to see another company make a case, had a ringke fusion bumper for my 5s and loved it.

What I like about Ringke's clear version of their case is that the back isn't busy. OnePlus's official transparent case was like that, but it was flimsy and apparently didn't always fit. Tudia's case is more sturdy, but the details of the transparent version interfere with the look of the phone. If the product graphic is accurate, then the Fusion case will combine the best of both transparent versions of the earlier cases and avoid the defects of either one.

What do you mean by it isn't busy? That it reveals the back?
The Ringke's Fusion series all show the back, the only difference are the sides of the phone. Instead of that being clear its a specific color. See http://www.amazon.com/PROTECTION--E...8215367&sr=8-3&keywords=Nexus+5+Hybrid+Fusion
They also offer "Slim" which is a hard case similar to the official OPO hard case.
But yeah, I've heard bad things about the OPO official cases and how it didn't fit properly or how the hard case cracked after a couple days use.

I explained my issues with the clear version of the Tudia case in this review:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/accessories/review-tudias-tpu-case-problem-t2841695
The frosted part of the case is exactly where you don't need it: on the middle, largest and widest area, which obscures the sandstone and custom back covers you might have have wanted to show off. The only reason I wanted a transparent case was to feature the back cover. This case doesn't do that. . . . [Also], the details of the design conflict with those of the half-exposed OPO, both highlighting and obscuring logos and lines of text. Additionally, the Tudia logo runs sideways vertically beside the horizontal Cyanogen text and logo, which makes the back of your new minimalist phone look like a complicated double exposure. . . . The division between the clear and frosted portions of the case are accentuated by a line of thinner transparent plastic, which segments the OPO into three sections.

I didn't mean to ask about Tudia. I meant about being "busy" I was confused on what you meant by that definition.
But other than that, I really do like the Ringke Fusion cases, hopefully this time around they won't have the sharp edges problem. Do note that the back of the case tends to attract finger prints on the back.

When I say "busy," I mean that extra design elements in a clear case can obscure or fight the design of the back of the OnePlus One. Given that one of the phone's features is supposed to be a customizable back cover, showing off the back cover is one of the reasons to buy a transparent case. But if you divide the case into three segments, obscure part of the back with a less transparent frost color, and place your vertical brand logo so that it crisscrosses the Cyanogenmod logo and the print beneath it, then you've added clutter and occlusions to the back of the device which, in my opinion, should look clean.
In the graphic on Amazon, the back of the Ringke case looks less busy -- i.e., cleaner -- than any clear case for the OPO that I've seen so far.
But other than that, I really do like the Ringke Fusion cases, hopefully this time around they won't have the sharp edges problem. Do note that the back of the case tends to attract finger prints on the back.

I assumed that shiny clear plastic might attract fingerprints but didn't know that Ringko cases sometimes had sharp edges. Thanks for making me aware of that.
Ahh I understand what you mean. Well for the Nexus 5 they had sharp edges on their case, their Nexus 4 case did not. Rearth does have good customer support though and their cases are pretty cheap. I wouldn't have a problem with ordering from Rearth. In the past they've sent a defective case where it wasn't a tight fit and they replaced the case for free without having me send the defective case back. I think the problem was eventually resolved but not 100% sure.

What's your preferred? Genuine for stock look of more stylish with Spigen?
I picked up the Spigen Case Slim Armor -- liked the look of the white one & love TPU cases, even though this is a bit more plastic than TPU cases from CruzerLite.
personally the stock cases from the market seem a bit too painful to look at.... especially the yellow one, I already picked up a Neo Hybrid - Silver, I was at most considering stock grey

Those cases are freakin' gorgeous, just wish they had one in bright neon yellow.
I think the Neo Hybrid looks great, but I'm worried about the polycarbonate frame breaking. Look up the user submitted pics of the Neo Hybrid for the Galaxy S4 or iPhone 5 on Amazon. There are reports of the frame breaking near the charging port or headphone jack since it's thin in those areas.

Wow thats a pretty big concern for me if thats the case. The case looked very appealing and had good color schemes. I don't care too much about the case peeling but as long as it doesn't break then I'm okay. I probably won't get it just incase unless Spigen sends a replacement without question incase anything happens.

http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...infinity-white-case-review-5.html#post2979193
But can't tell of they did this for the Nexus 5 version since it's just renders.
I would have gotten a genuine bumper if they were, a: available and b: came in white.
Seriously, bright yellow and red but no white? Gone for a spigen ultra hybrid, seems to keep the angles of the official bumpers but lets me see my white phone
I was disappointed with Nexus 4 genuine bumper: ugly, power button remains pressed (I had to cut with a cutter), bezel and chrome keys peeled off...
Poetic slimline bumper for the n4 was perfect, for me anyways. Fitment, looks, and colors were perfect. And the price was better too. They have them for the n5 available, being shipped in a few weeks.

I bought a neo hybrid case for a different phone about a year ago and while it did make the phone look great, it didn't last very long. The case was two pieces... A tpu case and a plastic frame that went over that to secure the tpu to the device. I'm not sure if this case for the N5 works in the same way so I'm hesitant to buy it. What ended up happening to my old case is the plastic frame eventually broke and I'm hoping that won't be the case for this one. Can you tell me if this may be a problem with this one too?

my guess is that as long as you don't constantly take it off and on and put any unnecessary stress on the plastic frame, it should be fine and last at least a year.

They did fix it for the Galaxy S4 with a revision (the area around the port charger) since the plastic is thinnest there. This one... doesn't look like they attempted on preventing the same issue.

Again I want this case too. I love how it looks. But I already own 2 for the 2 Galaxy S4, one which had the area snapped around the port charger, and both had their paint finish starting to bubble and peel.
Looks great! I've got my Neo Hybrid case sitting on the counter in the packaging, waiting for my Nexus 5 to arrive Thursday. It's gonna be a long 3 days of waiting.

Buttons feel good, it has that 'tick' to it. A bit sensitive on the power button side, but it doesn't accidently get pressed on. Just doesn't require a lot of effort to push it in.

I wasn't sure what to say because this phone is bigger but yeah it doesn't offer much grip.
In terms of it holding up, I sure hope that it does, I saw that they had a 90-day warranty on the case so we'll see what happens. The back doesn't leave any fingerprints. I will say this for sure, the phone feels REALLY REALLY REALLY good without a case on.

Its exactly what it is and has more protection with the extra piece inside. From what I can tell (im charging the phone right now) it doesnt touch the outer piece or cause any pressure to it. Theres a gap between them (very minor but enough that it doesnt pressure it).

I'm not sure I am following. The back of the phone doesn't touch the inside backing of the case? Or are you saying the case button covers don't pressue the phone's buttons?
I can't decide, the black slate looks gun metal blue-ish thesilver looks very good too.
Has anyone got one? They look nice and get good reviews on Amazon but would be good if someone who has one could post some pics of the real thing. I have the Spigen ultra hybrid which looks great but adds a lot of bulk to the phone and doesn't feel so great. I also have a cheapo tpu case which actually feels great but the finish is a bit poor and its a little saggy.

"TPU" and "Ultra Slim" should never be uttered in the same sentence unless that sentence is "Nothing about TPU is ultra slim by any stretch of the imagination."

Great case! Fits the phone perfectly without room for it to slide up and down inside the case. Buttons are not too hard to press but a little more difficult. All ports are accessible. The speaker grill cut out isn't perfectly put, but is just fine.

This is a mediocre case at best. It's slim, but has the sticky feel of glossy TPU, which I hate. The design on the back may or may not appeal to you -- I found it repulsive. Overall, with this case, you get what you pay for. I personally think it ruins the aesthetics of the Nexus 5.

If the back is so repulsive why on earth did you buy it in the first place? It was quite evident in the pictures and listings that it was glossy tpu and the back was the way it is. Surely one of the main reasons people buy this case is because they like the design on the back. The case is cheap but alot better quality than other tpu cases ( of which I have bought 2) of a similar price and ruins the aesthetics no more than any other case, compared to other cases I have bought including the spigen it follows the contours of the phone well.

Do you honestly think I would have bought it if I had known that I didn't like the back design? It looked great in the photo, but not when I had it in my hands.
If your a Nexus 5 purest or naked lover and are slightly concerned going naked even though you like the feel or if you just dont like bulky cases this could be the case for you and its only 3-4 bucks.
It's .3mm thin covers all sides except the small bottom portion and has all the appropriate cutouts along with the sim cut out and is semi transparent however you can not see the Nexus logo through the black one I have (but you probably could if you had the white N5 or a colored version of the case).
This case is probably not all that protective considering its thinness and has very small lay on the table design and it seems to only lift the rear camera lens a very tiny bit from the surface it rests on from what I can tell so all in all it will only really protect from is scratches and maybe small bumps.
As for feeling. It said it was a TPU but idk about that it doesn't feel like it it feels just like thin plastic, almost like those plastic folders from schools or offices, so it's bendable but not like standard TPU because I'm sure you could crease it if it was bent to much. The surface feels smooth but slightly rough (more smooth than rough) so it isnt as grippy as the naked nexus and can be slippery if your hands are dry. The bulk of it is almost non existent becuse it does really feel like there is nothing on the phone at all it feels the exact same size which is awesome for people that like the size of the phone and it fits pretty snug there's no give when gripping or squeezing the phone.
The only issues I would say it has is that the sides can be a little sharp (probably from the mold) and the bottom open section where your finger rests is kinda sharp too and since its not too too tight of a fit there, your finger can snag that section when you pull it away to readjust your phone. Im sure sanding can alleviate those things, but I have yet to try it. Also since its so thin the Volume and Power are pretty much flush with the cutouts for them so it can be a little hard to feel them.
Here are some pics!

Haha awesome, I was on another case buying craze a week or so ago and I ordered these exact cases as well (on Jan 2nd). I'm not a TPU case fan (hardshell all the way), but when I saw .3mm I said screw it, why not? I figured it's basically a skin and not really a case. So it should still appease my "next to nothingness" criteria.

So this one has no lip above the screen at all, rather unique for a case. One problem I have with the case lips is they interfere with gesture that use the left/right edge, like moving a shortcut between home screens. Still I would prefer to have lips on top and bottom to protect the screen when I put it upside down.

It does have a lip all around except for the bottom part of the phone. Even with my tempered glass protector there is a very small lip so without it im sure the lip would be more significant.

Sold seperately
Case looks pretty good, does it scratch the corner of the N5 when you remove it like the Ringke slim does?
From your pics it appears the case is not really see through like the ebay pics make it seem, is that right?

Haha awesome, I was on another case buying craze a week or so ago and I ordered these exact cases as well (on Jan 2nd). I'm not a TPU case fan (hardshell all the way), but when I saw .3mm I said screw it, why not? I figured it's basically a skin and not really a case. So it should still appease my "next to nothingness" criteria.
I ordered all of the colors except pink and purple (so like 7 cases :laugh. When I get them I'll do a review with pics as well. I'll add them to your thread or start a new one depending on how long and pic heavy the post ends up being.
Cheers for the initial impressions. :good:

Ordered all 10 colors. It's cheap, looks nice, so why not?
Until now I ordered over 30 cases for my N5. Talk about a case buying craze

Nope it shouldn't because its not a hard plastic its more like a thin aslmost flimsy/rigid/semi-stiff plastic.
And yea the black semi transparent doesnt let the Nexus lettering come through but Im sure with the colored ones it may show a bit easier and the white nexus may show better than the black but I'm not to sure.

Hello Please share your thoughts on the nillkin screen protector
It seems to me that the selection of cases for the Nextbit Robin is pretty poor so far and as far as I know, many known manufacturers are not planning to make cases for this device. Are you planning to buy a case? what case are you going to get?
Update
As far as I can see, so far there is still almost no selection of cases, however there are few screen protectors.
My favorite option so far is the following:
Amazon.com: Anti-Bubble High Definition Clear Shield by Dmax
There is so few options to go with.
Well, we have 3 different options, and different colors for the bumps case. Maybe they're not a lot comparing to other phones/companies, but I think we should just wait till 3rd party companies make more cases for Robin, it's a bit soon to see them out
Yeah, I'm still waiting if anyone have some new cases they noticed please share
Well the phone isn't released yet! And its a startup! So more should arrive soon!

You are right. This is completely different from the devices that are currently out so it is very exciting. but we have to be patient.

What kind of cases are you looking for? I personally love the bumps cases. Like are you looking for something similar to a flip case? Leather? I'd love to see what else others like.
Not cases, but skins are confirmed by dbrand, they have said they'll have them before the device releases!

Really stoked that we'll be working with dbrand on some Robin skins! Can't wait to see how they'll turn out.

Yeah, I went with that one on Ebay.
Kind of surprised that there aren't any on Amazon.
I know they aren't cases but the dbrand skins look bloody awesome.
I ordered the scratches case because I really despise cases, but I also really want my Robin to stay in pristine condition. It is very small and clear, so it should do fine for me. As for all the people that want their phone put in a tank, I can see your side of the argument, and in that case, I have to agree that they don't have a very good selection.

I bought this Fosmon case in clear. It's a little tight, so the middle sections of each side pulls outward a little. Cutout for the cloud sync logo on the back seems unnecessary, but most likely put in for the opaque color options. You can lay the phone face down and it won't scratch the screen.
My main gripe with the Robin was that it's very slippery -- even though it was touted as being a non-slippery phone -- but this case fixes that problem.
The imperfect fit makes it hard to wholeheartedly recommend, but it adds the much needed grip to the phone so I'm pleased for the low price I paid for it.

Yeah I got the clear (cause I got the sick Electric model) and this one is also tight I only hope that since it is plastic it will mold to the device in time. like some of the other cases I've had of this material before.

Bad choice I got mine together with my Robin and the Scratches case is really poor quality. Some parts of the plastic especially at the charger end of it, are so thin that they tear apart when case is removed a couple of times.
Hope nexbit will fix this at some stage,but not that disappointed at all as I just love the phone itself
I got some weak, POS pocket case off Amazon that doesn't really fit my phone, but I've little choice but to use it until I can get something better. I'm a little tempted by the Bruises, but the case on Nextbit's website looks different from the one on Amazon, with the one on Nextbit's website looking like it has little strawberry-like dimples that the Amazon one doesn't have on the back Even more confusingly, the Amazon Bruises case has the Nextbit logo, but the Nextbit one doesn't.
Alternatively, I've been considering either Fosmon case or one of the Orzly cases, but I don't want to waste my time and money on another crappy case.
ETA: Here's a link to Amazon's Bruises cases by the way. It looks a bit what I would imagine a Midnight Scratches case would look like.
If anyone wants to sell their Scratches case, I can buy.

Got my midnight wrapped in a Bruises case I picked up off Amazon. It's perfect.
Waterproof case
Hey guys!
I can't find any waterproof cases specifically for our phone (only generic flexible cases). Can anyone give me a link to a non-universal case? Thanks in advance. Also people, who have the dbrand bamboo case, can anyone confirm it feels like wood (just wanna know before purchase ) Thanks, and have a great day.
