I hate having a phone with a nice back color and having to hide it in a plain black case, I'm looking for a nice preferable silicone green case from a known and good brand, also I hate clear cases. Any recommendations?
Ok m waiting too for suitable cases coming to market. Currently using a clear plastic and I hate it. Makes phone feel cheap.

Mine was just delivered an hour ago, I like it - it's rather sturdy, clear back should compliment the sage colour. Got it from US Amazon, name of it is "Ringke Fusion-X Pixel5 Turquoise Green"
My phone is scheduled for delivery on Nov. 2nd, Amazon moved back the date from Nov. 4th but now I'm worrying about the problems w/ the build quality. I have Pixel 4a which has some built quality problems as well, so I was hoping that "twice the price" Pixel 5 would be perfect. Will see, but I won't accept any gaps in its construction, one of the main selling points for P5 supposed to be liquid and dust resistance.
The water resistance is based on a layer of silicone-type glue between the screen and the body. I can't imagine that a minor gap would affect this because a perfectly flush fit is not part of the protection.
These are not in sage colour but is one of the few silicone rubber cases I found
https://www.amazon.es/gp/aw/d/B08KD5TBSB/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_2?smid=AUGF9A8TFKZY1&psc=1&th=1
Personally I'm a Spigen Thin Fit user. But I'm interested in getting some rubber silicone case (those that are as grippy as a rubber, much more grippy than a TPU case. Last time I've seen one of these was an official Apple case for iPhone 6 or 7).
So if you know about a good one please let me know

I don't like the thin fit because it is hard plastic and it feels very slippery, that case you posted looks EXACTLY like what I'm looking for, I don't think I'll find another shade of green that resembles the sorta sage shade as much! Thank you, I think I will order it, but lol what is up with that description " silicone cover for pretty girl"? what the actual?!
Edit: I ordered it even though I'm a bit sceptical, they use a pixel 4 for the renders of the case and also it looks like the case has a hole for a headphone jack, since when does the pixel 5 has a headphone jack? Still I'm not cancelling the order because it costs 20 eur in total, I'll report back, it will take a while to get here though, around November 18th...

If that is super grippy and good value I'll try to get one as well later this year. (Note in amazon.es it was costing 10€ for me. And looked like free shipping so check there just in case maybe they ship to your country anyway).
Regarding the Spigen Thin fit. Well at least the Pixel 4 version in black colour is quite grippy for me. (Much more than a standard "good brand" TPU). (Sometimes cheap brand TPUs are a bit more grippy)
As a reference I ordered this case and while it looks similar to the Spigen Thin fit one. It is very slippery so I'll return it. But I got the green version maybe the most grippy one is the black (black was not in stock)

Do you mean the green fabric case? Damn it is SO expensive 43 eur.... and I don't think it looks that good... I might get it if the price drops on black friday though, I am THAT desperate for a case that fits and its not just black or a clear case

Yes, it's the Google case. After so many weeks of use I still really like it. Its so sturdy yet so light. And the colour is really nice.

It's a no name case and I never used a case with a ring before but man is it practical. I always buy a case with a stand and this worked and looked pretty good for me:

Ringke case is the bomb! not for the color but it has a lanyard loop, I cant believe no other case implement this!

It seems like we have two options:
Poetic Borderline or this Abacus bumper, which seems to be the same as this i-Blason bumper.
I just got the i-Blason bumper, and it's pretty terrible. It's large and thick, yet the USB hole is just big enough to accommodate the stock cable, which is on the slim side.
Check the photos below, with the first comparing with another crappy case from caseology, which I thought was bulky as well, and the second a closeup of the 3.5mm hole, showing off the thickness in all its glory.

By that, I mean bareback, border-only ones.
My N5 just shipped, and would love to protect them corners, but leave the back open.
Has anybody found one?

yah that is bad rendering. and i think that looks like an ugly bumper case.

Google made effort to use silk touch plastic... it's a shame to cover the back.
Where are the regular bumper like the officiel Nexus 4 one.
three colors one a phone are too much imo, I'll pass on these one... I think I would by something transparent + color though
Poetic cases are good, but not attractive at all. They will probably be the only bumpers we get.
Currently i'm leaning towards a full case with a clear back, or just going full dbrand skin and a screen protector.

The price is a bit high, but I'll admit that I probably would have ordered one with my phone if they had been available, mostly because it says nexus on the back.
Spigen and Ringke both have bare back bumpers which I am looking at as well. Just don't know which to get. Both on Amazon. Just search for Nexus 5 bumper.

I'm interested in buying it. Are the sides that are black bulky at all? I'd like it if it were pretty slim. How are the button placements? Mushy or firm? Does the clear backing look/feel vulnerable to scratches? Thanks!

Sides don't seem any bulkier then a Cruzerlite case but are harder plastic. Don't have my phone yet so can't tell you about the buttons other then I suspect they will be firm. Back is hard plastic so I'm guessing it won't scratch easy.
Can provide more feedback when I get my phone Monday.

How's the inside of the case? Any causes for concern that the case might mark the case or any part of the finish inside that might rub on the sides of the phone when on?
Just I have had bumper cases before that can cause marking on the actual phone through poor finish on the inside which is what you don't want from something made to protect your phone
Cheers in advance

Inside it just feels like real smooth hard plastic. Didn't feel any sharp edges that would rub and wear.

SOLD. These look very nice, and though their version for the N4 had some issues, this N5 version looks like it'll be just fine with the 2 piece design instead of one solid piece. and some nice color options.
Just sucks there is no prime and it's going to be a few weeks.

Yeah, I have one of these for my n4. Survived one fall(concrete), corner of case little scuffed, n4 fine . Never took it off once I put it on, used it with a horiz holster during the warm month, breast pocket of winter coat o.w. or just lying on a table/carried by hand.
What do you do sit and stare at your case all day? Frankly I don't even notice it.
Note: mine never fell apart like some of the Amazon reviews for the n4 version claimed OTOH I wasn't putting it on/removing it every other which I suppose could account for it eventually pulling apart...
I've already ordered the hybrid & slim armor(wanted something available now since the only time that I dropped the n4 was shortly after receiving it), plus the other case listed in the threads here. Might end up ordering this again IF I don't like the three that I've got on order already(well the slim shipped should be here same day as n5).
Now all I need is another horiz holster w/belt clip as I'm sure the one that fit the n4 isn't going to fit the n5 as it was already a little tight with n4 + bumper case...
Was anyone else able to purchase a Nexus 5 bumper case? When I ordered my phone from the play store all of the cases EXCEPT the gray bumper said "coming soon". I assumed it was a glitch on googles website so I purchased the gray bumper to see what would happen (expected a "sorry this is backordered email").
But! Sure enough I just received my shipping confirmation email for both the phone and bumper case. Am I the only one? Just curious if this happened for anyone else?
How are you able to purchase the bumper when it says coming soon? How did you add to cart?

I find it odd that they're calling it a "bumper" case - I went to check it out because I hadn't already and it's a full body minus the display cover, when the concept of a "bumper" case means it's just "a big rubber band" of sorts that covers the edges of the phone.
I see it, I find it interesting in a way I suppose, but for $35 I'd spend my money on one of those Spigen Slim Armor cases myself - their Neo Hybrid one is pretty nice as well and still cheaper than the bumper from Google.
It's amazing just how much money these companies are making from these cases nowadays... few cents worth of raw materials, some CAD work to design 'em, few bucks for fabrication and packaging costs, wham bam profits man!
Also: that "red" one ain't red, that's orange... weird.

When I first went to the page. The gray one said "in stock - ships in 1/2 days". I assumed it was a hiccup since the other colors said "coming soon". But I purchased it anyways... And I just received my shipping info for both the case and phone... Weirrrrd. I feel like I'm the only one? Hah

The bumper case is actually a hybrid case with a hard shell on the outside. I think they call it a "bumper" because the back is plastic and the edges are rubber inside... Either way I'm hoping its quality. I guess we'll see when it arrives Tuesday with the phone.

So basically it's a copycat of something from Diztronic like this:
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=46_99&products_id=368
$35 for the Google bumper or... $10 (or less on Amazon) for the Diztronic, I wonder, I wonder. I could understand and deal with $19.99 for the Google one, but $35? Man, they must be learning from Apple nowadays or something.
I ordered one of these a few days ago, should be here on Tuesday:
http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Google-Unicorn-Premium-Protective/dp/B00FN13EJK
Had one for my Galaxy S4 Active and loved it, it's such an awesome case, perfect tight fit, not loose anywhere at all. And it's a hard plastic shell (the yellow portion) merged with the TPU material (dark grey).

That appears to be a plain old TPU case... I have a diztronic tpu case for my N4. Googles bumper is hard plastic and rubber. A bit different. Doesn't justify the price... You definitely pay for the brand "Google". But hey... I'm a fanboy. I was just curious who was able to purchase one.

I was also able to order one as well. Shipped out at the same time as my Nexus 5.
I managed to order at 11:06pst, but then saw the bumper was available. So I ordered again at 11:13am with the bumper to save on shipping.
I also got the gray case, it shipped at the same time as the phone but with a separate tracking number. I know it's expensive but the LG bumper for the Nexus 4 was so sweet and kept my N4 in perfect condition through much abuse. So if this one is as good, it's worth it in my opinion

If I'm ordering an accessory without any reviews it will be a first party accessory.

hmm from looking at the AC images... kind of wish I'd waited for the black one, instead of getting the gray one. oh well, looks pretty sturdy and protective
I don't know why they aren't released yet. However, I will get the black one when I can. Yes it is a lot but I'm also a Google fanboy lmao
I wish they made a true bumper like they did for the nexus 4. It was such a great fit and made with quality, that will be hard to find in 3rd party cases.
My N5 and gray bumper showed up today. The bumper is great! the back is hard plastic and the sides are soft rubber... hence the name "bumper" im assuming.

mine came today also. though the case has grown on me, it does add some bulk. the back does not taper to the curves of the nexus. has a very slight trapeziodial-like shape. it seems that google was going for a simple block look. seems that it will protect from falls. buttons don't have the feedback that i look for though they're easy to press.
edit: the case is a snug fit and does had some grip that's missing from the panda nex.
can recommend this case.

I'm really loving the case as well. May seem over priced... however it fits really well and the materials feel top quality. headphone hole is a good size, adds a lot of grip. and its nice looking! The gray color almost comes off white... which is actually a pleasant surprise for me.
Heres some pics of the N5 in the Bumper for anyone interested. (not the greatest quality... taken with my Nexus 4)

Is there anything slimmer out there?
I have that case... Try using it without the border....
I also have the seidio case... I just use the inner cushion part... It doubles as a thin case cuz I can see their logo on it... I don't think you can go much thinner
I didn't measure but I have a cheap Chinese TPU case and it looks less than a mm. It was less than $1 shipped.
I have the nillkin nature TPU case. Perfect fit, and only 0.5-0.6mm thickness. Not much "bulk" added at all when used.

I don't really like those kind of "translucent" cases... Had one for my previous phone and with time it became yellowish and ugly.
I also have the Nillkin nature, and yeah, most of these transparent cases do discolor over time, but for only $5 I'll pick up another one when that happens. As far as the case itself goes, I had one of those $1 TPU cases and the mold was a little loose, in particular the sides had a tendency to bulge outwards so I would definitely check the reviews and images before pulling the trigger on one of those. The Nillkin one is pretty spot on and the buttons feel much clickier. Nillkin also have a hard case that's almost as thin as the Nature case, I'll put a link below:
https://goo.gl/7Xus8N
+1 for the Nillkin, I also have this, some months now and not even remotely going yellow.
I have had cheap brand ones in the past that went yellow before now so holding hope this one will not do that.
Good case, light, slim and easy to remove if wanting to run naked around the streets for a bit

I had a 'barely there' case by Casemate on my M8, and was hoping they would bring it to the 10, but it seems they have discontinues that case for whatever reason.
Watch out for the spigen case, it has some issues with flash when using the camera. Otherwise it's solid.

It doesn't look exactly like the picture, but it was really inexpensive. I like the look of the HTC 10 so I got a clear case. I also figured that if it yellows a bit, I could always get a replacement for really cheap.

Thank you kindly, looks real nice, especially for that price.
Do you suggest it?
I do. I have a more rugged case also, but only use that rarely because I feel safe enough with the thin case.
Thanks. Bought 3 of them just in case they get yellowish since they are so cheap and if I don't like it, well, too bad...
I've been rocking the Imak cowboy case (there's a review of it somewhere here). Keep in mind it'll probably have little impact protection but if all you're needing is scratch protection I find it perfect.
Slimmest case by far for me would be the included case from Yelun that was bundled with the TGSP. I've gone used only the HTC Ice View, Nillkin, and Spigen Crystal (I think).

I grabbed 2 myself.
For 77 cents, can't go wrong.
I'm at that point where I love my 10 but no longer treat it like a baby, so I still want some protection against surface scratches and what not, but still want to be able to enjoy the device.
Hopefully it holds up as well as the M8 did for me. Bought it on release day, used it up until the 10 release day, in just a slim case, not screen protector, and it's still in mint condition.
X-Level probably makes some of the best slim cases I have ever used. I first discovered them for my M8 when I visited Hong Kong and I've gotten them for all my phones since then: http://www.ebay.com/itm/X-Level-Lux...hash=item1a1de87d40:m:m4lwJH0dcr1dceg1As9H-EQ
They're also really cheap which is nice.
This is one of the nicest and slimmest that I've used: http://www.ebay.com/itm/360-Protect...hash=item3d2066daa1:m:mJx-cwyQu1UTdGuV1gRW8gw
So, I was looking for a new skin on my phone when I realized that I didn't want to do a wrap. If you're like me, you'll spend $10 and then remove the skin in like a week. After that you'll have to buy another one if you want to go through the process again. I'm not 100% into cases because of bulk and this is a damn sexy phone.
I scoured a few different places looking for a white thin case when I came across this: ELAGO THIN CASE
Here are my pros:
Fit is perfect
Cut outs are exact
This actually feels like it could be part of the phone
Has a Matte White look
Not TPU, its a hard plastic
Lots of compliments just in one day
Cons (Keep in mind, these are things people may not like but doesn't bother me)
Phone is still a little slippery
Buttons are now a bit more flush with the case
Zero lip over the glass to put upside down
The cut outs are exact so accessories are about 1mm from being perfect
I'm going back for the other two colors. This is an awesome case. Does anyone else have any ultra thin cases they can recommend.

Is there a promo code for that one? Kinda high in price.
got this today, it's going back. I have a skin on my phone, the case went on with ease on top of that and was still not snug
I got the Anccer in gravel black:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XTQKJY8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Preserves "caseless" feel, super grippy.
Do not spend 10 USD for just re-branded case.
Buy the exact same one just for 4USD.

Good call.
Edit: Just went to the link. I just don't like AliExpress. I had problems with them in the past. 20-39 days for a case when I can get it in 2 days from Amazon, meh... I'll pay the difference.

Really? That's a bummer. Mine fits perfect and has no movement. I don't have any sort of skin. I wonder if that's throwing off the fit.

It looks just as good in person.
Needs a top and bottom lip. Put your phone face down and it will scratch.

Nope. User a screen protector.. Cases with lips exist. This is for absolute minimalists.
Just went to the mailbox to get the Elago case I ordered after seeing this thread. I'm coming from the Spigen Slim case and, even by comparison, the Elago is ridiculously thin! I love it, but it definitely needs to be paired with a screen protector in order to keep the phone somewhat safe.
It is probably not nearly as thin as that case, but I usually buy Ringke Fusion cases for every phone I get. I love the way it adds the extra tactile feel to the buttons, and has saved me from many drops even on asphalt and hard concrete. I'm not sure how it is on the S8+ yet as my S8+ is not here yet. but I've used Ringke Fusion cases on OP3T, Nexus 6P, Nexus 6, Xperia Z3, and I have loved it on every phone.

Not even close.
Just a heads up. The Elago scratches and scuffs pretty easily. Not that I expected much from such an inexpensive case but, I've been babying my black Elago and, within 24 hours it already has 4 or 5 long scuff marks across the back. Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention. It would've been nice if they had used the same type of rubberized finish found on the Spigen and Ringke slim cases.

Who sets their phone with the screen down?
Figured I'd start a thread for case options.
My favorite, and what I've used for a year now on my P2XL was the Maxboost mSnap Thin Cases Perfect Fit. Unfortunately they don't currently show anything for the P3.
My runner up was the Spigen Thin Fit. It didn't have the same full body protection as the Maxboost (sides were exposed) but I did like it a lot otherwise. Spigen does, apparently have the cases already, though they're not available on their website. They list 2 ThinFit options for the P3. A regular and a "360". Since I can't click on them I have no idea what the difference is. I WAS able to order one of these from Amazon. I'm assuming it's the regular one though. Figured it'll work until the Maxboost is released. Anyway, here's link: http://a.co/d/dcRtP8q
I really like Spigen cases. Would probably get one for this device.
This one is my favorite:
OnePlus 6 Case, Poetic Guardian]Spigen Thin Fit Designed for Google Pixel 3 Case (2018) - Black

Yes, same! I've had a Spigen on my Nexus 5 for all 5 years I've had it and underneath the thing still looks brand new.
I've pre ordered the Spigen Thin Fit case in Graphite Gray off Amazon. It's currently showing an arrival date of around Thanksgiving. I hope it gets here sooner than that though!
My fav pixel 2 xl case by far was the fabric case, but i had like 8 cases, I change my cases like i change my wallpaper.
Spigen
Amazon has the Rugged Armor right now. I find it beats the Thin for protection. Somewhere in between is the Diztronic that have on the Pixel XL. It is not our yet for the Pixel 3, so I got the Rugged Armor for $12.99 out of stock. I have had one before and it is a very good, one piece TPU case with much better drop protection than the Thin Fit. I am pretty clumsy.
I have yet to see a Spigen Presidio case for the Pixel 3? Does anyone know if they are making one?
I love thinnest cases so for me i ordered MnmlCase.com
Is no one scared the cases could leave marks and scratches on the shiny frame?

Are you sure you aren't thinking of the Speck Presidio cases?
Thats it thanks brother. this is the only case I have used for the OG Pixel, Pixel 2 and now the Pixel 3.

Same here. I've always used the Grip version. I've dropped every one of the phones I've used it on several times and they always survived without so much as a scratch. Ordered one for the Pixel 3 yesterday. The only pitfall is they are a bit spendy but they are also great protection.

Thanks! Never heard of them but exactly what I need since I rarely ever drop my phone. Micro scratches are more an issue for me since I' always go caseless, but think I'll give this a go!
Well, Spigen canceled my order for the thin fit in gray. I don't want a black case, so meh.
Decided to order the cloth case from Google in fog, as it does look mightttyyyy fine on a white phone in their pictures. Wasn't thrilled with the $40 price tag, but whatever. My only concern is that it will eventually start looking dirty.
Yeah they are a bit pricey but still well worth it. I just bought mine and it should be here Monday ready for my Pixel 3 whenever they ship LOL.

I grabbed a couple of Google's fabric cases from Verizon's site as they have 25% off Pixel 3 cases going on right now. I also grabbed an Otterbox Symmetry clear case.
update: So now that I have my phone. The fabric cases are nice, very minimal and the charcoal and fog colors look great. The Otterbox, however, didn't work out. It was very bulky and got scratched in a few places straight out the box. Getting my phone in and out of it was a pain too. So now I've returned the Otterbox and replaced it with a Spigen Liquid Clear case. The Spigen gives a good amount of protection with a clean look to really show off my white Pixel. It has a nice grip to it as well.

How'd you get it shipped so quick? Mine is showing it won't ship until the end of October.

That's odd. I ordered mine on Friday and received an email yesterday saying it had shipped. Perhaps they're out of them now? I've ran into that in the past with them but it always said something on the page about it.

The regular Thin Fit that you linked doesn't have any coverage for the top and bottom edges of the phone. The Thin Fit 360 does, and also includes a glass screen protector. The Amazon link for the Thin Fit 360 is http://a.co/d/acFpbNf

Use the code MNML20 to get 20% off your order. I used the MNML case on my Pixel 2 and it is the next best thing to using the phone naked. It doesn't diminish the feel of the phone at all and protects it against scuffs and scrapes which is exactly what I need. I don't drop phones (famous last words, lol) but hate cosmetic damage. The Pixel is a lovely slim phone and I really don't want to bulk it out with a thick case.
My clear case from Cimo just arrived. Still waiting on the phone, but it's a typical clear TPU. Not as thin as an X Level case, but not as thick as the Spigen Liquid Crystal cases. It will work until X Level releases one.
