Has anyone seen tpu cases at a local retail store? I was thinking about checking those kiosks you see in the malls that sell cheap "stuff". I noticed previously that they rarely carry accessories for new phones besides the iPhone. Any heads up would be appreciated. I could get on Ebay or Amazon but Ebay, you don't know what you're getting because sometimes pictures are poor quality. An issue I have is I really need usps for shipping because of my residence and nobody being home when the other companies delivery trucks show up. Suggestions are welcome.
Ebay is going to be the cheapest but I wouldn't buy from anyone who isn't in the states or if the pics are fuzzy just keep it moving. There is someone on Ebay that uses usps but double check the shipping info. Also you can just buy it straight from their site for like $8 plus shipping. I haven't seen any of the TPU cases other than Ebay, amazon or their site directly myself.
I got mine from tpu-cases.com I've had it for 7 months and its been great. I drop my phone all the time.

Which would you think would be less likely to slip out of your hand, gloss or matte?
I have a gloss for my ns4g and it feels decent. The inside of the case is matte and it feels slightly more slippery.
I have both the gloss and matte mentioned from the site above and I find the gloss to be less slippery. Also, he delivers usps so you shouldn't have an issue there

For anyone in the market for an ultra-cheap Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) case, DealExtreme has started carrying a translucent case for our phones.
I just happened across this while browsing DealExtreme, so I have no idea what the quality is, but the price is certainly right at $2.30 shipped.
This being DealExtreme, of course you'll have to wait a few weeks for it to arrive if you buy one.\
Edit: Whoops, forgot the link:

Ye I got mine from karendeals.com. Tpu argyle printed on the inside-super slim. Well worth the 2-3 dollars. I dont know if they meant to but they sent me 3 but I paid for 2.
Links....?
here's the link, looks interesting

I'm placing an order.
For $2.30, I can afford to order it and toss it if I don't like it.
I have a D30, but hate the bubbles on my realook. Maybe this will fit better.
yeah i got one of those as well
although i must say i like the D3O cases better
if the D3O was not free, i would have stayed with that transparent TPU from DX
which is the same one i'm using on Nexus S
it gives a very good grip and feel to the phone
Awesome. Placed an order right away. Was looking for one of these cases. Thanks a lot.
I was just about to order this on the bay 5pack for $9.90,,black, white, blue, purple, and red. Give the gf whichever one she wants as I got her a sgs2 when I got mine. They call it swerve case on the bay. Does anyone know how much bulk it adds?
Just wondering has anyone got their order shipped yet? Its been a few days now and still no response.

Wish I'd seen this yesterday. I ordered the same case from Amazon for $19.95, but I still need to claim my ebates signup bonus. I'll post a review when it comes in tomorrow.
From what I've seen, this is identical to the Marware case but with fake leather on the lid instead of fabric.
Edit: and I'll never find out. Ordered with Prime early last week, and the seller hasn't shipped yet according to UPS. Cancelled my order and I'll probably buy the Marware instead.
Yeah, it looks just like my Marware case, which I love btw!

Looks like the case a coworker has on thier ipad. hopefully it works as well
I got that case a week ago for 10$ with a coupon. It is disappointing and is not worth over 10$. Back case is molded plastic, front is thin and not too durable felt/leather(?) sandwich that folds back and sort of creates a stand. Bump it and it will fall. Very cheap quality.
the Marware case has no problem sticking to skins that i got from ebay also.. i bought 2 and put one of them around the glass but the other two are on the front and back of the case.. no problem sticking and looks cool... of course you have to take a razor and cut the seam out..
I have this case and so far I love it. Like many people have mentioned it's not the highest quality material but it gives great protection, is functional (love the stand), and looks pretty good. Not only that but it's half the price of the marware one! Would definitely recommend this.
After two orders, finally got one. If your primary use for the KF is to stand in landscape or lie flat on a desk, it's pretty good. The inner felt lining is a nice touch and the backshell fits great and feels solid.
If you do anything at all else with your KF, buy the Marware instead. Even if it's currently $20 more. The big difference between the two is that the Acase's lid doesn't fold all the way back, so you can't one-hand it anymore without the lid flapping around to the left. For my purposes, it's crap. Return'd.
Great deal!
From what I've read the Marware case can be laid down completely flat whereas the Acase has issues with that. They are both designed the same but I guess you get what you pay for. I have the Marware case because it was included in my gift. I'm glad I didn't get the Acase for myself though. That tiny issue would've drove my insane lol.
How does everyone like this case?
The plastic part holds the kindle very well. The flap however, leaves much to be desired. It doesn't close all the way, and doesn't fold behind the kindle properly. There's not enough fabric on the "hinge" so it won't fit flush.
It drives me crazy, and I hate it =P
I ordered both this case and the marware case. I will take pics of both and let you guys know the differences.
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.
$10 Ringke Hybrid case has been serving me well. Shows off the back of the phone and won't interfere with any SP.

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.

I picked up the Spigen case from Amazon. It's built well and fitment is great. It came with the screen protector. Like many others report, it has a lot of issues. Their customer service is a joke regarding the known issue as they request photos and vidoes. Really? All they had to do was read the Amazon reviews to see the first run was faulty.
Either way, the case is solid. Just don't get their screen protectors.
i ended up getting a tpu case for £1.90, its pretty darn good, also a tempered glass screen protector ive put on, im pretty confident its well protected now..

I bought this case it fits great all buttons are easy to use with it on. The only issue one might have is the cut out on the bottom for the USB port may not be big enough for some third party USB cord ends.

You've probably come across this. Its a little bulkier than I hoped but its growing on me. I love the tempered glass but wish I hadn't been so eager to stick it on--no bubbles, just the tiniest piece of lint inside. Its hardly noticeable, and undetectable unless the screen is lighter background, but those things bother me. Next time I'll use latex gloves to apply it.
I like the glass back to but not crazy about the amazon logo being in full view. What do people think about a nice android logo or cyanogenmod decal?
Also...the headphone cut out doesn't leave room for larger audio jacks. It doesn't affect me but Some peoples car jacks won't connect.
Overall excellent buy for the money.

Thanks for the tip. For $9, it's like buying the tempered glass and getting the case for free. Definitely worth a try with no real downside if it turns out to be too bulky.

It was a great deal. To be honest, only reason its bulkier than I thought was because one of the reviews said it was "less bulky than expected..." But the pic in the ad doesn't really mislead. It'll probably be the same size as you imagine--about a half inch thick.
And take my advice applying the glass. Its super easy but read it through first and keep it as clean as possible.

Thanks for posting this. Is the back of this case glossy like the sides/edges, or is frosted/dull? It looks frosted from the photos, but I'm not a 100% sure. I'm looking for a similar case that's glossy all over.

AT&T store case sale
Local AT&T stores seem to be having a fire sale on Fire Phone cases. I picked up a nice Speck case, retail $35 for $5. They had several other cases there too. This has also been mentioned on Slickdeals re the eBay Fire Phone/Amazon Prime deal (the price of the eBay deal seems to change from $139 to $189 depending on the sellers mood).

I got a white case from Speck with the CandyShell design.
http://www.speckproducts.com/amazon.html
They had the Blue and the Pink. They also had a leather case that said 50% off of $35, but when they rung it up it was $5. Leather was nice and small but offered little protection...no raised lip around the display.
There might have been some others...don't remember them all. They were on a clearance rack.

I found the Incipio extended battery case at my local ATT store marked down from 90 to 10. You pretty much just have to go ask and someone will go dig around in the back and find what they have. I also picked up a regular incipio case with the aluminum back, but is kind of warped already and doesn't stay on that well. For 5 bucks, it's not even worth taking back to exchange!
I just bought the Amazon Polyurethane Case for Fire Phone, Blue when I purchased the phone they had them for $10. It works great, doesn't get in the way of the buttons/ports while still protecting the corners, and has a nice texture that isn't too slick but cleans up well. It barely adds anything to the phones dimensions as well.
I bought the Incipio Dual Shine case from an AT&T store for $10 and it has been pretty good. A little heavy, but the brushed metal back looks slick. I've dropped it a few times and it has held up.
