I make no recommendations about whether it's good or not. But, in case someone wants a really cheap case...
Bought it lol. We'll see when it comes in

For under $2 you could do a lot worse. I thought about buying this and may still if it stays at this price as a backup. It's not the prettiest of cases, but if it does the job well, it could work. Please post what you think of it when you get it.

I think out of the leather cases this is by far my favorite.. but $129?? I guess it's worth it to protect a $600 device right? What I like about it is it doesnt look cheap and it doesnt seem to add too much bulk to the device

Anyone see something similar?
There are sooooo few cases out right now. Not a big fan of the any with the exception of this one. There is a leather Motorolla Portfolio, but hard to find pics of it...and that get's mixed reviews.
I did pre-order the piel frama case...and was told it will not be "released until Mid April". I guess until then we won't have any new pics of what it really looks like.

From what I read about other cases they have made they really seem top notch. I read the leather is hand done etc.. I'm trying to find out if I can find a coupon code for cases.com to get it a little cheaper.
With all the other cases out there so far, I find one thing I like in one but really dislike another thing about it. That goes for pretty much every other case I have looked at..The only thing I dont really like is the price tag. lol But I think I can live with that more than a case that I'm 90% happy with. It looks well made and it has a simple classy look to it. I think I might go for it.
ok, they did offer me a 10% discount.. I'm still debating if I'm going to fork over that kind of cash for a case. Just in case the coupon code is a one time deal I will not post it yet. I will post it after I either decide to purchase it or not then I will post it here. I just dont want to post it while I'm deciding someone else use it and if it is a one time deal and I decide to get it I'm screwed lol
10% That's not bad! I heard Vaja may be coming out with a case too, but no clue on what it looks like or price.
If you hold off, I'll post some pics, but who knows when this will be here....can't rush quality
I'm using a moto silicon case with a skinomi shield....works okay, but want a portfolio case.
No experience of the Xoom case but I have used a Piel Frama with my HTC Blackstone for about two years. Still looks new and smells of cow.
Well made, quality leather, hence the price tag.

They told me it would be shipping in the middle or late April. I really like that case but not sure I want to spend that much for a case.. decisions decisions lol
I bought the stock motorola portfolio case for $40 bucks and it works perfectly. We're android users not iPad socialites... please don't spend $129 bucks on a case...
My case gives me decent viewing angles without breaking the bank.
Save that money and purchase some great apps for your device instead (just my opinion)

You can definitely see a difference in the pics of the quality of the leather though. The Kevikev case's leather kind of looks cheap in my opinion if you look at the red picture up close it almost looks like pleather.
You're right about the red one

The S3 will be my first android phone worth putting a case on. My MOTO DX2 is a beast and never needed one.
I dont like cases on my electronics. Ive had good luck for many years though. Never broken a screen on a smartphne.
Since I dont like cases I saw these sleeves and had to have one. They are the same material as maserati and porsche interiors. As a car junkie i couldnt pass.
Ordered one in grey for my white S3. It should be a cool look.
anyone had experience with these? or sleeves in general? Like? Dislike?

Its a piece of cloth sewn together for over $30. Thats the way I see it. I dont see how its any more or less functional than the $10 ones on ebay.
But I'm not saying they are bad, just saying I wouldnt get one!
yeah, its whatever though! everyones different
have you ever used a sleeve before vs a case, wonder?

Just received these - thought I'd pop them in here in case anyone is looking for some cheap cases.
I've used and given one of these to my sister. It was rather good for the 1€ i've given, shippings included. There are now 7 for said price. These much be really cheap to make

Honestly, why would you want 7 cases, even if it is only $1.10... huge waste of plastic to send them all to users who are just gonna throw them in the bin anyway.

Must be a mistake or something because I don't see it anymore. Its way too cheap, even if its a load of crap!
It wasn't a mistake I don't think as the price went up and down but this was the lowest it got. They aren't really bad for the money if you need a quick bit of protection from the elements but yes the listing has ended now.
I wish I saw this sooner, proper bargain!
Any leads on waterproof cases for N5? I have a generic waterproof pouch, but it has solid rear panel, so no camera use. Also the pouch is limiting as button operation is difficult and headphone jack is not accessible. Wishing for a LifeProof or Otterbox, but doubt N5 will have enough sales to garner that kind of attention.
We can hope. The Lifeproof cases are the only thing that makes me jelly of iPhone/Galaxy phones.
Why don't we send a group email (from all we users of nexus 5 here on the forum), asking them for a waterproof cover?

Welcome to the forum. You must really want a waterproof case! It seems like you signed up just for it! Anyhow, I would really like a waterproof case as well.
Would make me feel better if I had a waterproof/durable case.

Just wait a Lil. Maybe there will b a cheap life proof knockoff for N5 showing up on eBay soon. Just like a knockoff lifeproof Samsung s4 case showing up on eBay months b4 the real thing.

Probably going to have to go that route, I doubt any of the big case companies will see enough numbers to make it worth their while. I'm not sure, though, if I would really trust the water proofing on a "cheap knockoff".

I have a $15 lifeproof knockoff for samsung S4 and i can attest to the splashproof. Havent the need to test the 6ft waterproof for real yet. But whover made this cheap knockoff shou;d consider making one for N5. they can corner the market early... wonder if i can find who make the case...
A water and shock proof case would most definitely be hugely helpful. As I spend quite a bit of time running/cycling with it, getting caught out in the rain with my phone can (and has) ended badly. If only LifeProof would heed our calls...
Being that this thread is from November, I don't think it's gonna happen. Best you'll get, is a trident aegis or Ballistic with port covers.

Sorry to disappoint you but does not apply to N5. The case I was referring to was for Samsung S4.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111156742485?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
I was saying that whoever made that case for S4 should try to make similar case for N5 and that they would prob be able to corner the market fairly easily given there is still not really decent cheap waterproof shockproof slim case for N5.
Has anyone found the *perfect* wallet case yet? I have tried a few and the cutout for the back lock button just is the round circle and impossible to unlock the phone without digging and pointing your finger in. The closest I've found is the spigen wallet case
I was just wondering everyone's thoughts about this?
I'm after slim, 3 card slots and magnetic closure
I just ordered this one: http://a.co/8yFi3yO
$6.99 w/ code LUMION60
It only has a couple of reviews but it looks good, so I'll give it a shot.
Unfortunately I cant buy it, they dont ship to Australia

Let me know what you think of it please, I have found a place where I can get it but it's $30 AUD here. I'm interested to know how well the phone holds in the leather

I'll update this post to let you know if it's any good. It should arrive tomorrow.

I'm not sure how much shipping will be but from the Amazon listing above just copied/pasted the pictures from the VRS site and added their logo. It does say they offer international shipping though.

Thanks, look forward to it.
Im close to buying it myself but it is a little expensive here
Nope
I can't recommend this case... Even at $6. It feels cheap, the PU leather looks cheap and fake. The inside is a plastic she'll that feels like it might scratch the phone and the shades of brown are awful. The stitching looks as though it may come off easily too. Definitely skip this one.
Thanks for that. I did see a few reviews saying they don't like the feel. That's good to know, I think I may stay away from wallet cases all together since the lock button is on the back and its not convenient with a wallet case on
I have decided to just purchase the spigen wallet case
