What are your thoughts? I have one of those TPU cases and I do like it but the buttons are hard to press.

I have it, its a pretty good case, its not very grippy though, but also does not seem to stretch and fit loosely.
I use it on a daily basis.
I have this case in all black...bought from daydeal. For me, this case has offered the best combination of slimness, protection, ease of use, and price. For comparison, I've used the Tmobie gel case, a different type of hybrid case and the the casemate barely there.

Mine fits too loosely to be a great case. I have abandoned it for a case mate.

That's interesting. Mine is not loose at all. Maybe they're made by different suppliers.

any cool cases?
The Otterbox Commuter case makes it look like a PSP Go. I have a few issues with it but I'll be posting those in another thread.
The verizon hard case is the coolest case. I have one on and fits like a glove, open L&R buttons. And it looks great from the rear, lol

I need a case/cover something that doesn't add much bulk (thin) well protected, and looks good. What's your current or favorite case? I'm looking at this bad boy:

The case I am currently using for my T989 is the Diztronic Matte Back Black TPU Case. I'll be posting a review and pictures of it soon.
I got the Diztronic and it's awesome.
My favorite case by far, is this black TPU gel case. It's super slim too, and slides into my pocket. :good:
I have this one and like it.

Although I haven't seen too many cases up close, I think I would agree. The Diztronic case is slim enough to easily slide into a pocket, it fits the phone really well, and it doesn't cover anything that shouldn't be covered. I had a cheap one from Koodo first, but I hated how it covered the power and volume buttons. The Diztronic case was cheaper and looks a lot better too...just wished they had more colour options available.

Had that case, 'til I removed it one day for cleaning and found that it heavily scratched the chrome finish. And that was when I had the phone for around a month. I am now using the Trident Aegis.

I thought it was a cool case at firsst..... but then it became to cumbersome pressing the buttons & I didnt like the fact that the case made the phone a little wider. for protection the otterbox cases are the way to go but they cann be bulky, I bought myself a diztronic case and I love the fact that its fits perfectly on the phone with access to the buttons and no extra width added to the sides of the phone :good:
I bought one of the fishbone cases and am very happy so far with it. I guess it's a hybrid case in a sense.
The Diztronic is the best case I have ever had, my wife has no complaints with hers either.

Eh...gets cracked after a while (especially if you're one to carry spare batteries and take off the case all the time) , super glued a piece of it back on XD. Currently using a rugged case which feels great and has more protection than the d30 http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-RUGGE...485007?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5aea735a8f , still use the d30 though sometimes just for the hell of it, it was a good case.

"good" and "cheap" dont often work well together. it's either a cheap case that might protect your phone when you drop it or its a good case that you spent $20+ on. if you're going for looks and dont want to spend a lot, there's thousands of cases. otterbox cases are too bulky for me. i always use case mate's "tough case" on my galaxy phones. good luck

Cheap and gets the job done. Not too bulky also it depends where you buy the case from...Amazon is cheapest and fastest to avoid the stores markup.
An otterbox commuter is about $20 on Amazon and works well for me.
A clear backed bumper hybrid case is what I use when I want smaller and they are cheap and work well for protection for me but you need a well raised front face bumper to protect the screen though
try ebay or amazon
i prefer ebay, if you want cheaper cases
and in my opinion, they are pretty good, especially the gel ones
I want to get my dad a nice case and holster for fathers day, I've got a nexus so I don't know the options for his S3. I like the otterbox commuter because the silicone is held tight at the top and bottom by the outer layer. If anyone knows of a horizontal holster that fits this well let me know (like the defender series holster). I would really prefer horizontal over the vertical clip in style, even though I know they all swivel. I don't like the defender because he won't like the soft outer layer or built in hard screen protector. The ballistic SG MAXXX has the horizontal holster and hard outer case, but I don't like how the outer layer doesn't cover the top and bottom. Any suggestions for a commuter holster or different case combo?
I would check out the body glove toughsuit. Its similar to the defender, but the outer layer is more of a you material. You can also pull the built in screen protector out pretty easy. They sell them at Walmart if you want to check one out in person.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Nah, the hard inner layer and soft outer layer isn't logical in my opinion. He works in construction so it needs good drop protection. I might just go with the commuter and get the Seidio active holster.
I use the otterbox defender and am also in construction and it serves me well.
Sent while sleeping in chair.
The outer layer is not soft. Its riggid and way better than the defender its Not tacky and grippy. Ive had them both before.
The commuter is not a good decision Imo. Most likely gonna slip out of hes hand lol.
Ive had the ballistic sg maxx before which would be my 2nd choice over the toughsuit

I'm thinking I'll just go with the SG MAXX, it's seems to fit the bill the best. I might consider getting the commuter and seidio active holster, I've seen someone else post that combination on here.

I was rocking the black slim armor from spigen I got when the phone first came out. Great protection, not too bulky, protects the camera, and has a small lip on the screen so you can lay it down on its front with no worries.
I like it so much that when I heard that the bright red was more orange than red. I bought it in a heartbeat.
Only other case I got was the Ringke Fusion, works just as great and has a clear back. but dust kept getting in the back in between the case and the phone for me at least. Didn't like that...

I have a tech 21, a ballistic sg, and a spigen slim armor. They are all great. I tend to use the slim armor more being that it's smaller than the ballistic and looks better than the tech 21. The ballistic is definitely the most protective case made for the n5. But it's quite large. The spigen slim armor is still very protective and looks absolutely beautiful. The build quality is top notch.
for me, no doubt: Spigen Neo Hybrid
I am thinking abou slim armor. Its pretty expensive over here but it looks really great and people say that it is safe for our device
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I have both the Ringke Slim and the Neo Hybrid. The Slim is my choice even though it doesn't cover all of the phone. Its slim and almost makes you forget that you even have a case on the phone.
The Neo Hybrid is a good case and just adds more bulk than I personally wanted. Its not to the level of an Otterbox but still some bulk.

ZeroLemon Rugged Battery Case
I purchased a ZeroLemon 3500MaH Rugged Case. It is by all means not a slim case. it's essentially a big ole brick of bada$$ery.
C shaped connector plugs into your Nexus 5 and into the battery, Hard plastic shell with a built in screen protector snaps around that, then rubberized fits around that, then of course a belt clip lol. I'd say i'm a centimeter off from a full inch thick lol.
I currently don't have a case, but I'm looking for recommendations. Can anyone recommend a case?

If you like slim cases, I really like the Ringke Fusion Crystal View case. http://www.amazon.com/PROTECTION-FUSIONĀ®-Absorption-Yourself-Technology/dp/B00H3OUGI2
It's completely clear to let the beauty of the N5 shine through. (especially if you have the red or white N5) It's a little bit softer than the Spigen version, has good grippiness, and probably more "bounce" if you dropped it.
