thanks for the help
Just letting you know if you bought from a corporate sprint store it has a one year warranty for replacement for any and all damage. Also I have been looking for a white one with a kickstand as well and have not been able to find one

Casemate POPin wihte...google it.
1. Sorry to hear about your broken case.
2. Rule of thumb: never, ever buy accessories in-store. The markup is ridiculously high. You're just flushing money down the toilet. See the links I've posted below, they charge a whole lot less for cases made essentially by the same people (China), and they're Still making good profit. Of course, if the item is a brand name item like for example Seidio, Case-Mate, Zagg, etc., you'll still get a better price online, just not as steep a discount as comparable items. Your best bets:
Generic, white on white
Generic, white on black
Generic, white on black (different seller)
Like the one Sprint offers, but the white version
Case-Mate Pop! Case
Case-Mate Pop! Case on Amazon
If you plan on buying one of the "Generic" ones above (which also come in other colors), be sure to do the modifications to the case as highlighted on Youtube by nerys71. And if I'm not mistaken, he's also a user on here in the forum. Shout-out to you, bud.

Here is a whole list of those hybrid case with kick stand
thanks every1 much appreciated
and is the white/white heavy duty really fat?
FWIW I'm very happy with my Pop! Case-mate from Amazon
I have a casemate pop as well, and it's a really nice case.
Does the case pop by chance fit the seidio active holster? Anyone know? Thank you in advance!

White hybrid case with kickstand
Check this one out I asked my coworker if his site carried them and showed me these. They ship out of Oklahoma City, OK and very quickly. They have lots of cases for our phone.
I personally rock this one from them with my white E4GT.

I've seen several places online that sell them(this seller had the best price), now they're nowhere to be found. Your best bet currently is to contact the eBay seller and ask if they'll be getting more of that case any time soon. Keep looking on eBay, Amazon, and Google, it might pop-up somewhere if a seller gets a shipment of them.
I'm not much of a fan of that case. When I first got my E4GT, I remember buying the black version of it. It seemed to be more of a tray that your phone popped into than a case. The coverage around the phone wasn't good, especially at the top and bottom of the phone. And the kickstand was extremely hard to open (on the one I got at least) and seemed cheap and couldn't stand the phone up-right. But hey, whatever floats your boat. To each their own.

Thanks! I'll post here if I find them again...

I want maximum protection so share if you find. The case on the link below is the bulkiest I have been able to find. I know Incipio has some coming soon, they have one I like on att.com site but only in white/pink.

Seidio needs to get on board and make some cases. As well as otterbox. I hate this phone for the sole reason of no 3rd party vender support. I always had a seidio case on my phones.
I ordered the Nillkin Ultra Thin Matte Cover Case. I think the dimpled texture on the back of it will make the phone a little less slippery. I'll post pics after I get it.
I received the Black Folio Case free for pre-ordering the phone. Regular price is $50.
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/cases/sku6610235.html
It's basically a front cover attached to a new back cover, replacing the stock back cover altogether.
The Good: It looks great and covers the screen well. It contains cutouts so you can see the home button LED and talk on the phone with it closed. Having the screen turn off when the cover is closed is nice. I understand installing the case enables wireless charging but am unable to verify this as I don't have a wireless charger.
The Bad: Zero protection on any other part of the phone. In addition, folding the case around so I can hold the phone in one hand causes the cover to stick out slightly past the edge of the phone itself, so it can dig into the fingers after awhile.
Summary: It's a nice case for free, but I wouldn't pay $50 for it.
Whoa, the 3rd case in the op that I just ordered. Be careful, amazon doesn't tell you the shipping cost!!!! I got charged 5 freaking bucks!!! Not buying on amazon again.

How about finger prints and oils? I just applied my xtreme guard and the only thing I like about it is how it doesn't get very oily and wipes off easily. All 3 of my skins were defective after waiting a week for them though so I'm looking to replace them.

That was almost certainly a third party seller. When you buy something on amazon, check the "ships from and sold by" section. I bet it doesn't say amazon on both of those.

I got that case on Amazon as well, but I am an Amazon Prime member so my shipping was free for 2-day delivery. Not a bad case, ordered a spare but don't really need it.
So what do you guys think? Has anyone seen one yet? I know its a bit pricey, but i really liked the bumper on the N4 and think google/lg nailed it. I am considering buying this one, but the black is not available. Does anyone know if it just sold out really quickly or if only the gray was available at launch?

yeah i thought that was strange too, as the n4 bumper was actually a bumper and this is clearly a full case.

Shows £24.99 and "coming soon" in the UK. FFS Google why can't you get the accessories to us in good time. The UK didn't even get the wireless charge dock in the end.
Can someone confirm this is actually available to buy in the US?
I wasnt a huge fan of the oem bumper for the n4, only due to the fact that it left part of the metal ring visible on the top and bottom of the front of the phone. It didn't quite look like it fit correctly.
I did however love the poetic bumper, it fit perfectly, it was a bit thinner, and matched the phone almost as if there was no case at all.
Amazon already has the poetic up for pre order and shipping date of November 19 I believe. I've got one on order, and will post pictures when it arrives.

I really like the look of the official cases especially with the nexus logo intact. I'm part of the minority and like the thinnest case possible like the rearth slim or spigen ultra fit. This official case looks like a nice compromise between the "super thin barely any protection" cases and the thicker "add too much bulk more protective" cases. Definitely pricey though.
I've had the spigen neo and was very disappointed. El cheapo imo. Rearth Ringke has been my favorite cases so far

No way I would buy that.
The image for the black bumper uses a GNex and does not really show anything about the bumper.
The image for the white bumper uses a Nexus 5 render without the bumper on it.
The description says it is for all carriers, including Verizon, on which the N5 does not work.
It would have been great to get an actual bumper case like the Nexus 4 had but I think I'll still get the official "bumper" for the Nexus 5. I'm a sucker for OEM fit and finish as well as I like how it still displays the NEXUS logo on the back.
The price is ridiculous though. I hope the carriers offer it in store when they launch the phone so I don't have to get ripped off with shipping as well.

I think it's difficult to make a true bumper for the Nexus 5 because the back is curved. Nexus 4, iPhone... Those are phones with flat backs. Regardless, I think the case looks nice, but is a bit pricy.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
the official "bumper" case is expensive. but i'm guessing the "nexus" branding is what makes it worth it to a lot of people.
if you cover up your phone with any other case it just looks like any other phone and not like a beastly nexus. but now your vanity can be satisfied with a case that clearly states for all to see... NEXUS.

wished google made official one like that but in RED!
The official bumper looks quite appealing, and it looks like it extends past the camera. My only concern is the buttons. In-house cases that the phone company comes out with are notorious for having hard button covers. Guess we'll just wait for video reviews on that.

I had those 2 models with my HTC One. The first one, the leather stitching started fraying a week after use. The 2nd one, the clasp fell out after a month or so. I am looking for something high quality. I dont mind paying along the price of the book-book.

There is also that, I dont expect to see much really high quality cases though. Nexus dont have near the market share of iPhone/Galaxy lines.
Check out the Watson Folio cases by Incipio. Hopefully they'll roll one out.
Tuff-luv made a nice looking brown leather case for the Nexus 4, so hopefully they'll do the same here.
And maybe Spigen will do a "Slim Wallet" design for the Nexus 5.

Tuff-luv told me in an email that they expect to have stock by the end of November. On Twitter, it's the end of December.
In the meantime, I've ordered:

and, because I'm travelling next week and the Poetic won't be delivered in time, this:

I also considered the Ringke Delight/Discover from Amazon - again, it wouldn't be delivered before I travel.

It does have 3 5* reviews though.... Shame it is in the UK and not in the US. Oh well, the one I bought will be here on Tuesday.
What I do minimize the wear and tear on flip/wallet cases is to use voice announce and shake call. No need to open the case as often.
I have the ringke nexus 4 case... Not real leather and decayed badly in less than 12 months... Tempted to buy it again, remove the plastic holder, find a leather wallet and make my own.
How hard is it for these guys to make brackets and simply stick them on a genuine leather wallet?
Has anyone found a wallet case that doesn't have the flip/cover? I've been searching for one similar to an iphone case and it just seems that case makers aren't making them non-iphones

Cost....
People are usually happy buying $10-$15 cases. Real leather in a case would shoot the price up north of $30 and there just aren't a lot of buyers at that price range (relatively speaking).
As to other cases, I did get a reply from Zenus (http://izenus.com/) and they are planning a Nexus 5 case for early December.

That kinda sucks. Looked like a decent over.
I am talking to a woodchuck Rep who says if there are enough people interested he would be able to get the 2014 added to their list and have some cases made for it. They do carved wooden cases and skins for tablets and phones. I for one LOVE wooden cases. If you would be interested or would like a single commission done let me know. Ill have one made for me regardless. Maybe if there are several could get a discount.
Here is an examle of one of their iphone cases. They only do skins for tablets but I'm going to commission a case. Kinda like the wooden sliders but tablet sized.
