apparently there are no many options out there
the tmobile one is bulky and heavy
i found some on amazon which are light weighted and thin but they say the are not cut precisely especially at the button to the way that covers the mic
any idea ?suggestions ?
D30 is what a lot of people are using, Incipio just came out with some, Otterbox = no, Trident by the end of the month, and Seidio pretty soon.
Oh, I'm using the Body Glove Revel (T-Mobile) with a Realook and loving it.

what about the Belkin translucent grippable protection from target ?
Trident has always been a reputable case provider for my previous phones. Check out tridentcase.com. I believe the T-Mobile version will be out soon. Their cases are very stylish and protective in my oppinion.

My tpu case just came the mic hole seems to be properly aligned now. It wraps tightly around the phone no loose parts. its not a lint collector either.

I personally hated the D30... the power button was difficult to press with it on. I bought a $9 tpu from Amazon and IMHO think its a million times better... my Michael hole was off but nothing a razor blade couldn't handle. IV ordered the incipio feather case (more my style) and it should be here tomorrow. Ill post some pics when I have hands on.

Black. I always rock black... well, my white i9100 I had a silver breathe case.. but I like to keep it neutral. I LOVE the breathe case. As previously stated, not much in drop protection, but its slim and light and doesn't even feel like you have a case on at all... that's what I look for in a case... I hate the clucky stuff.

Yea, normally I do black too, but figured I'd switch it up for this.
I hate bulky cases too and just want something for a little added protection.

You can just try the white body body glove that tmobile is selling. It fits nice and very well. In my opinion its the best that I have ever seen.
The argyle tpu case fits suprisingly well for only 5 bucks shipped from amazon

I had the otterbox commuter for my sensation and loved it. For my s2 I was looking for something comparable, and the best so far I've tried is the incipio case. It comes with a rubber inner and a nice smooth outer hard case. Comes with a screen protector too. Very solid case, no complaints from me. Looks sharp too
Swyped from my iPhone eater

I have the Ballistic SG case and I think it's the best protective hybrid case.
Everything feels solid, no loose fitting silicone, and looks cool. Pretty much a tank; I've dropped my phone twice since I've had it, and I haven't even flinched.
The Incipio Silicrylic looks nice (prob best looking hybrid), but in that video review I saw (posted in this forum), the really loose fitting silicone on the sides would drive me nuts. Plus I saw how the dude could pop the phone right out of the case like a cheap silicone case... wouldn't trust it on a serious drop.
I am using the white body glove case and no complaints so far.
D3O
the D3O Dual is very nice!!!!!!!!!
I too got the body glove case for my new s g s 2, but I've noticed that the front corners are exposed and vulnerable to damage if I drop it.
I got a purple Diztronic TPU case from Amazon & it's really nice. I also have the white body glove case, but I don't use it all that much cause I'm just not crazy about white :/
hi my fellow XDA members i recently have been going through cheap cases of eBay because i cant find the rite one.i bought one last night by diztronic and it looks promising,i also bought one called case mate i seen on YouTube and that also looks promising but expensive! im going to send one of them back.my perfect case would be a tight fitting gel that is durable but not tpu but more of a stiff gel.anyone come across anything that resembles that? thanks

Both are high quality TPU cases. Im using the Diztronic now. Have 3 Cruzerlites on order waiting to be shipped.The Cruzerlites have ridges on the side for grip and a cool android on the back. Diztronic is matte and gloss and offers good protection. May replace the diztronic after i get the cruzerlite...haven't seen anything like it.

Casemate Tough or Otterbox Commuter coupled with Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor & your choice of screen protector. I've spent Alot of money on cases/skins and this is the best combo for me. TPU'S are also a great value for light protection but my daily setup is the CM Tough & Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor with a Ghost Armor screen protector. These companies customer service is amongst the best in the industry.

The Diztronic TPU case is awesome. I just got mine today and it fits nicely, no shifting cutouts are perfect and adds a good visual appeal to the phone.
i exchanged a noname TPU case for a casemate barely there and much happier about it...phone weighs almost half and case is good enough for light protection.
besides, it's quite classy, TPU or casemate tough don't do justice to the Nexus...
sgp Neo hybrid, its not even close

+1 The Matte Black back is much nicer than I had expected to be, and the glossy rim around the front bezel is very generous, and the overall feel of the case is quite classy IMO.
Hey guys I wanted to buy a case mate pop case cuz I like how it looks but I remember hearing somewhere on here that they aren't selling them right now because they are making revisions on them. I seen a few on amazon still and I been tempted to buy one but does anyone know what these revisions are? Like is there something really wrong with the cases?

The current 1G version doesn't have the hole for the camera's microphone. The CM Toughcase and Barely There version does. I don't know why it wasn't included in the first iteration. Laziness, perhaps?
I'm using the OtterBox Defender Case. If you're not a fan of bulky cases it's probably not for you but, it's perfect for what I need it for.
Damn. To me it does seem like laziness lol I guess ill just wait for the revision model

I have the incipio case verizon sells which within two weeks discolored and I'd rather not use. I then bought the seidio active which is awesome except dirt and dust sticks to it too much and even sticks inside creating tons of like nicks and mini mini scratches which annoys me. Can anyone help me find another good case? I prefer the black/white together look that both of these have.

Bleh reviews say it doesn't fit the lte version perfectly. That looks like it would be about perfect and at least a lot less dust attraction.

Just wonder what kind of cellphone case most people like to use...TPU? hard? flip? frosted? glossy? black? color? transparent?
I stick to slim hard cases all along..I don't think their protection is less than those more bulky TPU cases.. (ooppss..sorry to TPU lovers..)
what is your choice?
I just ordered a UAG case for my s4. Had one on my s3 and loved it. Great quality for the price. But does not protect your phone if it falls face first onto a gravel road haha.

the ironic thing, the accessories section isn't even being used or these such threads aren't moved there.
that being said, I like the Otter Box defender series. too bad I needed one ASAP and I couldn't get the blue one, because not only is it available but I was able to snag OBs on Amazoon nowadays for 20% off regular price...
i like my phone without a case
if youre going to buy a case for the s4 it has to be the spigen sgp neo hybrid white/black
if you want a higher quality aluminum one then buy the iphone style one that offers full drop protection, add a spigen glast screen protector and your good to go :good:

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-FUSION®-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.
