Have been using the spigen liquid crystal case since launch but it has gone green now and does not look very nice so am looking for a new one and was wondering if the mnml case are worth the 27 dollars +4 dollars shipping as I live in the UK or is there a better option ?
No, not worth the price; severely overpriced and case will loosen up over time if you take it in and out of the case.
Do a search on aliexpress, you can find a lot of ultra slim cases 10th of the price MNML charges.
The mnml case does not loosen up over time. You can find them for 23 bucks on Amazon.. I've had mine on for a bit and it has been my favorite one yet for this phone.

Between all the brands for this type of case they are all hear identical, just a matter of rebranding, Amazon has same case listed under another brand for I think$12

Both of these cases seem like good deals.

This one looks pretty good, I like that it doesn't have a border all the way around like a lot of the others. They make it hard to access the menu button.

One-handed use?
Can anyone who has received and started using their Blurex case please let me know how this case works one-handed? I can't tell if the cover will fold all the way over flat or not and it seems as if the clasp piece may make it awkward to hold on the left hand side. Any pictures of it fully opened would be a huge help!
Thanks in advance!

,I have the vipertek case, same exact case different name. It lays back flat when open. The clasp sticks out but imho it helps your hand steady it easier when using one handed, either hand feels good different ways of holding but comfortable. Don't have camera or would get a picture.
There are so many good cases sadly not available in Canada and if they are they are overly priced with shipping. So I have to resort to ebay.
So I'm wondering if anyone has bought the below cases?
Case One - For the price its seems like a good deal, but it has an extra flap that wraps around the back and I think thats going to come in the way when using the tablet.
Case Two - Seems like a copy of the MoKo slim case but it looks good.
The first case looks pretty good and only $1.95 CDN shipped. Might pick one up to try it.

I got the new N7 two weeks ago from EEUU, and now, just few days left to spanish release, where I'm from, there's still no portfolio cases available in my country.
I'd like to buy Poetic Slim because I don't feel comfy with leather frame ones at all, I'm touching it every moment when I slide my fingers on the tablet corners, and the MoKo is too expensive now (about 25$ now, I saw days ago at 0.99$.. lol).
I am looking for a folio case at 20 bucks or less shipped which have wake/sleep, slim finish and no frame... and all ebayers wants to cheat me about 15-20$ for 14-21 days shipping plus 15$ for 10$ amazon case (yeah I know stock problems but what a way to speculate), while DBrand "robots" sent the decal I bought from Canada for 3$ and arrived in ONLY 4 DAYS by ordinary mail :silly:
What do you recommend me? Wait till spanish release or try the second 7$'s one which seems like MoKo?
Thanks.
I got a couple cases from eBay. I've already received the S Line TPU case, which I paid less than $4 shipped for. I also won an auction for a white folio case which was around $1.50 with free shipping from China! Not expecting much, but I'll update when I receive it. Today was day 16, an the seller told me 10-20 days. I'm expecting it Tuesday, since Monday is a holiday.

I got my eBaY TPU s-line case today..Purchased it last Aug.29 for $4.99 shipped. its pretty snug and fit very well with all the ports all cut clean.
I like the matte finish with glossy on the back and the textured side of this case. i choose a solid white color than the transparent one. but i hope that this case stay clean and white.
after installing my extremeguard screen protector here it is.
I will always suggest Poetic Slimline. It has 3 year warranty!
Hey guys, a friend of mine just got his nexus 5 and he's looking for a case that will fit well with generic glass screen protector, something at about 15-20 dollars from eBay. Thank you and merry Christmas for those who celebrate.

As its quite long since the launch of N5 and after going through so many cases I would suggest you this shellster beltclip/kickstand case for your Nexus 5...as personally I own this case and m really impressed with the quality and comfort of this case...it allows you to have a very fine grip on the phone...and make your phone safe too...

Here ya go, I'll pimp my own thread hahah. I did a few reviews for ridiculously cheap/good deal ebay cases (all have a bunch of pictures). This is if you're into hardcases anyway. If you want softer cases (TPU/Rubber/Gel) meant for drop protection then these ones probably aren't up your alley. They will all work with screen protectors though.
Out of all of them, I recommend the Quicksand cases!!. They've sold so well though that the price has since increased to $1.99 with free shipping.

Memorial Day. I noticed the sale yesterday. 25% off site-wide with the code mem2014 code at checkout.
For a few case+color combination it works out cheapest. I got the Armor to complement the ultra slim for when I'm more knock-about traveling.
If I didn't already have 8 cases for my N5, I'd consider another one. But the red Slim Armor case does look good.

Red, white, gray is $25 pre-discount, I bought black $15 pre-discount, after discount add tax, free postage, is $12.14 my out-of-pocket . I own a red N5 so there's a dash of red visible
I've kept my N4 in a dual-layer rubber inner, more stiff outer for 18 months and taking it out I see the only damage is the scratches around fumbling in the usb power. I later got a wireless base charger,so my new N5 should look even better used when I sell it.

No actually. e.g. nexus 5 spigen armor cheapest on Amazon is $17+tax + postage (which you can avoid with Prime or bundling with other items) but I got that case Spigen for total $12 delivered, so ...cough, if someone wanted such a case they can it cheaper today than Amazon do every day.
You're right normally and why I posted this today as its true valid and useful for others today.

You're right I just checked. Normally though the slim armor was 25 on spigen's site and 18 on amazon so with the 25% off it would be the same price approx. However, I didn't notice spigen lowered their price to 15.
I'm waiting on the Rhinoshield but I'm curious what you guys are using.
The poetic affinity case is great . It's better than the unicorn beetle subcase and the ringke case too. UB scratches way to easy . The ringke is good but the poetic has like a honeycomb look to the back with the same black around it. Also the poetic is firm and it's design doesn't scratch . It's screen protector friendly too.. I've got all three but got the poetic last ..here's pics think you can tell poetic one

Me too but waiting for Amazon to carry it. It took a couple weeks after release for then to carry the op6t rhinoshield.
IMHO, all of those cases are ugly AF
I'm not the craziest fan of the affinity design but it is what it is

Seems about on par with my Pixel 2/3XL's cloth-covered case. Not the grippiest, but I haven't had issues - for full disclosure I do have a loopy loop installed on mine (post for reference) so it never gets out of my hand, but I didn't have the case modified until a week or so after getting it, and I didn't find it too slippery. Honestly the weight of the phone is what made it slide out of my grip the most.

It has excellent grip whoever told you otherwise is a fool.... I've had it in since day one and it's great not slippery at all. looks good, feels good, and has great protection I've used it on my op6 and now this device. It never disappoints..... Unless you keep your hands covered in crisco all the time.... Don't be a Butterfingers it's very simple
I love the rhino shield bumpers. But I don't suggest you pre-order from the website. The last time I pre-ordered from them it was released to Amazon on the exact same day my case was shipped. With the Rhinoshield website i had to pay shipping and it took about 5 days or so to receive. Had i bought it from Amazon prime, it would have been free shipping and i would have gotten it in 2 days.
Oneplus Nylon Bumper SUX
!!!WARNING !!!
DONT BUY THE ONEPLUS 7PRO NYLON BUMPER
I bought it 3 Weeks ago and now the first Nylon fibers come out of the Case.
I am really carefully only in my pocket and after 3 weeks a 35 dollar case gets broken???
And there is NO refund after 14 Days for any Accessiors from Oneplus so i get nothin new.
Bad bad service its only 1-

What do you mean? Do you have pictures?
I use this one
Not a bumper case but the OnePlus carbon fiber (made by Evutec) IMHO is the best for thin and adequate protection. I love (Evutec) cases, wish they made more models. It's a bit pricey but worth it. Even with months of use (iPhone XS Max), the case wipes off and looks new.
I got mine at the TMO store but I believe it's this one:
https://www.oneplus.com/product/oneplus-7-pro-protective-case
There probably are thinner ones but protection factor goes way down from there.

It's not slippery, but it isn't very grippy either. I own both the Nylon OnePlus bumper and Ringke Fusion X camo. The sides of the nylon case feel like a smooth hard plastic, which doesn't offer much grip or protection. The sides of the Ringke case feel a little more "rubbery" which offers a little more grip and protection. However, the nylon case is much better quality. It is a very tight nylon stitch , with a felt inner.
I change between the two depending on my day/mood. If I'll be out and about constantly taking out my phone for photos or gaming on the go, I'd probably use the Ringke for that extra protection. Most regular days I'll use the nylon for it's slim profile and premium feel.

This.
Also, like I've mentioned before, the buttons can be a bit stiff for some. I have to slice into the sides of the buttons with a razor in order to make them more "clicky" like buttons on a Spigen case.
Rhinoshield refuse to admit their buttons are too stiff.
I use the casemate case sold through TMobile. It's a bit thicker but the glass back on the device leaves much to be desired.
