Pouch cases which will fit the nexus 5?

I guess we know the dimensions of the phone approximately, are there any pouches which will fit available right now?

Match the dimensions with other phones then look for a pouch made for that phone? Or you can wait for the phone to be released and buy one thats made for it?

Since the Nexus 5 is supposed to be the same size or slighty smaller than the Nexus 4, I recommend two pouches which should be a good fit. The Mofi pouch for something to add protection when putting your phone into knapsack or similar carry bag. ordered from china about $4 each. I think the size i got for my Nexus 4 was 5XL. shipping was about 2 - 3 weeks to USA and Canada

For something nicer I like the Bugatti 'Skinny' leather hand stitched pouches in size XL ordered from Amazon.de. (about 16- 20 euros each including worldwide shipping) shipping time was about 10 days to USA and Canada.

check the Nexus 4 forums for more info, there are dedicated threads for each of these pouches.

Mofi pouch - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963159&highlight=mofi

Even if you like fancy pouches for your phone, I would still get one of these neoprene ones as a backup. I used one for my S2 all the time when it was newer. Pretty durable and stretchy and you can wash it and its pretty cheap. Might find it direct from china for cheaper if you look for it.

I just wanted to add to this since Buychina can be sometimes difficult to navigate.
This seller has the 5XL in all available colors. This should be able to accommodate the N5 with a case/bumper.

im looking for a pouch/holster as well. the one that goes on my belt. and the nexus 5 is not smaller than the nexus 4, its bigger.

if your interested in the MoFi pouch and are worried about size go 6XL

For my N4, i am using the Diztronic case and the mofi pouch. The N4 with the Diztronic case fits in the 5x mofi pouch. I seem to remember that the 4x mofi worked with the bare N4.
My Diztronic case for the N5 should arrive tomorrow. I will post the fit tomorrow.
PS If I can locate the mofi kangaroo pouch, I will also give some feedback on that pouch.

Do you guys think that the Senacases Ultraslim for HTC One will fit the Nexus 5?
HTC One H 137,4 mm W 68,2 mm D 9,3 mm - 87,14 cm3
Nexus 5 H 137,84 mm W 69,17 mm D 8,59 mm - 81,90 cm3

i'm actually looking for something like this that goes on the belt. i couldnt find anything specifically for the nexus 5. but the galaxy s4 is a 5" phone also so this should fit the nexus 5?

Currently my Nexus 4 fits a wonderful Sena Cases Ultraslim pouch designed for HTC One X.
I would like to buy the HTC One model for my brand new Nexus 5, but i'm a bit worried about the section, the pouch will be too big?

I remember there were a couple other alternative leather cases out there (back when I needed one for the Nexus 4). Anyone remember what they were?

Sena Case

I'm using a 3 way accessory case by Timbuk2 for my Nexus 4. It was a little long for the 4 so I'm betting it's going to be perfect for the Nexus 5. It's lined with a nice fuzzy liner and has a pocket suitable for ID, money, credit cards and it can be put on a belt or where I normally use it on my messenger bag.

I've always been a fan of the original Sony PSP neoprene pouches for my phones. Nothing fancy but good protection. Works great for the rumbles of a golf cart which is about as rough as I ever need.

Same, I love my bugatti Skinny Pouch. Really hoping the N5 will fit it.
The only problem I think is the heigth, because the N5 is only 0.4 wider and 0.5 thinner so I guess it will even out nicely.

Leather Sleeve / Pouch Options?

So I've emailed SENA Cases about their wonderful line of leather products for smartphones & Spigen about their "Crumena" case series -- both of which expressed slightly less than interested responses.
Here's the response I received from SENA :
Thank you for your interest in Sena Cases.
Unfortunately, we currently do not have plans to make that specific case for this device. However, that may change in the future if we receive a high volume of requests. With your consent, we will keep your contact information on file and notify you if and when such a case becomes available.
Sena Cases appreciates your business and apologizes for any inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Randi Weden

And the response I received from Spigen :
Thank you so much for contacting us and we appreciate your patience.
I’ll be more than happy to assist you with your question.
We have actually discontinued most of our leather products, but we are always looking for our customers for greater insight and demands!
Thank you so much for reaching out to us to express your interest in our Crumena case, we will definitely take note of it and let our developers know.
If you have any comments or suggestions, you can also go on our Facebook or Twitter to voice your thoughts on new products!

That being said, it looks like neither company will be producing a product for this model in the foreseeable future, so what other options do we have? I looked for phones that had similar dimensions and it seems the GS4 when compared is almost identical, give or take a slight difference.
Nexus - 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm (5.43 x 2.72 x 0.34 in)
GS4 - 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm (5.38 x 2.75 x 0.31 in)
There are a few cases listed on SENA's website for the GS4 - what do you guys think? Will the sleeves / pouches created for the GS4 work, or should we hold out in hope of a company creating something for the Nexus 5.
Those who prefer the leather cases and have an N5, what are your thoughts?

They have three other options:
Belt clip with naked N5
No belt clip for N5 with a case
Belt clip for N5 with a case

This looks to be just what i am looking for. I wonder how snug/tight it is. I prefer cases that have a strap to hold the phone in but this one might have to do i'm having a hard time finding a case for this and i hate not having a case...

I use an HTC pouch designed for the One X and some of the other recent HTC phones:
http://www.htcaccessories.com.au/PO_S650.aspx
Cost me about $10 off eBay... I have been using these pouches since I had a HTC Desire. Got the above case for my Galaxy Nexus, and to my surprise it fit the Nexus 5 quite nicely (it was always a bit big on the Galaxy Nexus).
It is a tight fit, but I have an older version of the same case so I know it stretches. The width is fine, but the height is an exact fit, there's no slack at the top end so if you drop it on the exposed side, it won't be well protected.
I'll put photos if anyone is interested...

where could one get this case in canada without paying 2 much for shipping. Not willing to pay the same or more then the case for shipping...

Media Devil Artisan leather pouch - wow
I just got the Media Devil Artisan leather pouch today am I'm totally impressed with the quality for the price... It shipped rather quickly for something coming from jolly old England to Minnesota... I got the black w/black stitching. I'd probably order a second one if I could get it in natural brown leather. I guess I won't be stalking Sena's site anymore waiting for their vapor sleeve.... :laugh:

I have a Dodo Durables for a HTC One sleeve and it will work with the Nexus 5 fine but it's a somewhat tight fit. It will sometimes trigger the power button when inserting/removing the phone. I wish they offered an all leather option - the canvas gets a little floppy with use - probably not as much of an issue when you're using it with the phone it's intended for.

What would you buy for your Nexus?

If you already had a qi Charger (or 2) a Spigen case, tempered glass protector, what else would you buy for your beloved N5?

how are those earphones? I just ordered mine, I've heard some really good reviews about them.

I'm very satisfied. They look great, sound even better and work flawlessly with my Nexus 5 with all buttons and mic working just like they should. I've bought a lot of stuff for my phone but for me Pistons are one of the best buys ever.
The only downside is that while buying you have to beware of fakes, since the market is flooded with them.

Agreed and agreed. Love mine. Work perfect with the n5.
Buy from ibuygou or penonaudio. Both sell 100% real ones.

I have gotten for my N5: A S-Line case, retractable earphones, a dedicated MicroUSB (and USB-A) 2amp car charger (it shows as "Fast Charge" on the lock screen and Ampere reports 1300mA to about 1580 or so mA), SlimPort adapter (not for Maru OS, i'm not even rooted!) and some other things.
I would get a : a dock, a Qi charger (FoneSalesman' QiStone+ is being eyed by me), A SECOND BLACK 32GB NEXUS 5 (Daniel 5 the red N5 and Daniel 5-2, the black N5, maybe?), BlueTooth headphone adapter,etc.

In my experience, a Diztronic case to replace the Spigen.

Diztronic? Really? The last one I bought, didn't impress me.
My answer. A DODOcase Durables case. They put the HTC One (M7) case on sale this week, and the M7 almost perfectly matches the Nexus 5's dimensions. I can wait to start carrying it in it. (I have Durables for my Nexus 4, and just got one for my iPod Touch 5gen. they're gorgeous, particularly when you get them for < US$50. Alas, the HTC One cases sold out in a day.)
I also ordered an LG QuickCover folio from Expansys. I always like having a full, book-style case for my phones. And this case is high speed. Light, thin, fits like a glove (better actually), and has a thin plate with magnets to ensure positioning on a Nexus 2013 wireless charger. Superb.

Anyone found a source for a high quality thin CF case compatible with magnetic mounts? (comparable to Pitaka)

BTW, Pitaka rep tells me they have no plans for Pixel 5 Mag Case.

Latercase has one. And you could put a metal plate behind the case for maganet.

Accessories Looking for a Belt case for our 1+9 Pro

I've been searching for a while, and still have not been able to find any good working Belt case for our phone.
Horizontal, 3 clips or belt hooks, Leather preferably, other materials will do as well considering how hard it's to find a good match for our 1+9 Pro.
A quick measure shows our phone is aprox 7" with the case on.

Have a look on AliExpress, they've got all sorts on there. Might take a while.
