Got my revised Ringke Slim case today.
Here are comparison pics of the original Ringke Slim vs the revised Ringke Slim
This is on my LTE gNex, extended battery with the battery door removed.
Note how the top end of the phone does not go all the way into the case as it's meant to.

Here is the New version meant for LTE with extended battery+battery door ON
The GSM version on my LTE phone was really nice... although it did just start developing cracks(known issue) because of the stress from the impropper fit
This new version fits perfect. It adds a hair of thickness since the hump that contours to the stock battery door hump is now filled in.
It can be seen here
Hope this helps some of you out
Is there a reason you're not using the battery door in the new case?
Thanks for the pics!
No prob.

Nice photos. Still wish the case at least offers some form of protection for placing the phone face down.
Guess I will stick to my Ultra Hybrid.
great pictures for comparison. can you tell me how it looks and fits with the standard battery on? if it's not too much trouble, maybe just one picture. if not, it's ok; words are fine. thank you very much.

It sorta does. Look at the last pic. On the left with the phone in the case, because of the subtle arc our screens have there's a small gap.

Gotta run out right now. When I get home later I'll swap out batteries and let you know
incredible photos. what kind of camera do you use? that is astounding.
Does anyone have some pics of the White or Metallic for the LTE that they could share?
good pictures and good product but this will not provide any real support if the phone falls on a hard surface and case will go fly to the other side of the room

It wont go flying, it fits VERY tightly, almost impossible to take it off actuallt. I'm more wprried aboit being able to take it off to put in a new battery then it flying off when dropped.

Thanks for pointing it out coz I was comparing it with the photos of the old case. The new one does go up all the way to the edge of the screen.
I'm probably gonna order one soon after figuring this out
Now if this somehow would fit a holster....I'd be set.

Recieved mine today to, fits so nice. 1st case that is going to make me ditch my Diztronic 3rd gen for.
Got mine today, LOVE it.
The new case will protect the front. The top and bottom portions of the case create a small lip so while face down, everything would be resting on those lips and the phone would be protected. Just the sides are open.
Perfect fit. My new case. The trusty diztronic v3 is now officially off duty.
The only downside is my pogo pings are halfway covered. I'm fine with them covered but they shoulda either left them exposed or fully concealed. The case literally covers half of each pin.

I tried the OEM smaller battery with the cover and there's really no difference. You might be able to push the back of the case in a little but the fit is still good.
Here's more photos of the new case from the back

It's an old Nikon D50. The camera really isn't so great, but as long as you have a good lens and use lighting right you get good shots

What he said. It's hard to pull this case off. I really doubt it'll come off if you drop it.

This bothers me too. My concern is when (if ) we ever get a legit car dock, how that'll effect the connection. If there's an issue I won't let it be a deal breaker. I'll hit it with a dremel to make it work
I bought the white, but after seeing these photos, I may have to go and pick up a black case too.

Any chance of some pictures of the case as it fits in the holster?
When you say "pretty good" -- is it wobbly, snug, other?
Also: how does the Ringke case do with the Seidio clip at the top of the holster? Can you pop the phone in/out of the holster with one hand, without the clip damaging the Ringke case? Also wondering if the clip will wind up scratching the case... any thoughts?
Jon
I got the metallic one as people said it most closely matched the actual phone. It's pretty close. Just a little bit darker. I wish it wasn't so glossy though - seems like it will scratch up. I might have to go with the matte black instead. Still looks pretty good I think.
Sorry for the quality of the shots, I'm no photographer.

ill post my thoughts when i get it in, i like it because it looks Slim, its hard plastic, its rubberized.
doesnt look like it has great camera protection
The case is fine for what it is, my friend didn't even notice I had a case on my phone.
I just got my Case-Mate today. Its freakin awesome. When it claims to be barely noticeable - its right. It feels like I'm holding my naked Evo in my hand !
The only downside per say is that its a little more difficult to press the power and the vol up and down due to the design. But its really just a case of me getting used to it. ( pun intended ) I came from an Amzer case that pretty much covered the Evo back including the power and vol buttons.
Overall, this is by far the best case out there IMO and I would love to get my mits on a white one!
Very sturdy, well designed, barely noticeable, highly recommended !

lol you're right. depending on how it lands. but i don't use the case for protection from dropping. just about every case breaks when dropped. i just use it to sit the phone on so i don't get scratches and to protect the camera.

The case I got from Sprint seems great and I've dropped it twice... once getting out of the truck, forgot it was on my lap, lol.
Other time, opening the door, so both about 3-4 feet.
Been rocking my case for about a month and I love it. Sometime I forget I have a case on it.

Yeah that white case is definitely not the case-mate case. I actually bought one of those white cases off of ebay about two or three weeks ago. Its an ok case but what I noticed about the case is the small amount of table lay that it has is slightly uneven.

Press it out. Use your fingernail at the hinge end, starts it right out.
I finally received my case-mate barely there case today. I have to say that I like it. i like it better than the white case pictured that I got off of ebay. Anyways first off, the camera is well protected if you lay the phone on it's back side. As far as the front of the phone and table lay...there is none. The phone sits right on it's screen. But that's why you have to get a screen shield .
The kickstand is really hard to get to get to. It's like it's embedded in there or something. But it's cool. The feel of the case is smooth also. There's no texture to the case to provide any type of grip so you have to be a little careful. If you're prone to dropping your phone then this case may not be for you. On the other hand, it's fits perfect in my pocket with minimum to no bulging. The buttons are easily accessible.
All in all...I like it. It's well wroth the money.
Oh...an it also came with 2 screen protectors and a wipe cloth
mine just got here today, fits the xoom great, as a stand its nice and sturdy, plus it gives you access to all connection points
best $20 case ive bought so far

Sweet, in for one and I gave you a thanks!
a $60 case on sale for $20 simply amazing it says quality all over it
I posted about this the other day. Honestly, I love it. It does exactly what I need it to do. The only problems are software. Let's say I'm watching a full screen YouTube video with it in the typing layout, the screen will do a 180 causing me to turn the device around. That's all software.
If you guys want, I'll toss pictures up later to show you the solid build of the case. The only problem I can foresee is the front cover's magnets aren't that strong and the front cover might start to feel flimsy/lose it's shape after a while of using it to stand the device up.
I love it though and wouldn't trade it for anything. The velcro is extremely strong and holds the device in place. I wish the fit was a bit tighter, but it's still a good fit. It's also very thin in comparison to a lot of cases out there. I recommend this to a lot of people.

well that does say alot, if the fit is loose in the begining then it will only get looser with time, leather cases should be tight from the get go

I'm not saying it is incredibly loose. It's actually pretty tight. They just left a tiny bit of room on the sides so the case CAN move side to side, but only about .5 of an inch or so. I'll take pictures with my Droid X in a little bit. I promise you'd love this case if you got it.
Is there only one angle for this when in viewing position? I know some of the other cases have a total of 3 angles.
What ports are available when open/closed? Are you able to charge when closed? It's hard to tell from the pictures, but is there a screen cover over the screen? Or is it just naked when opened?

.5 of an inch is pretty big wiggle room. I was about to bite when I read this. Do you really mean half an inch of space on the sides? Anyone else have this case that can say?

I took pictures for you. There's only 2 viewing angles. The ports available when closed is just the 3.5 mm audio plug. With it open, all of them. You can change the volume when it's closed, too. There is absolutely no screen cover over the screen. Completely 100% naked.
When the pictures are uploaded, I'll link you to my Picasa album.
I'm going to edit this post shortly after I take some decent pictures. I promise you will love this product.
EDIT: Ok. They're uploading now. I DEFINITELY just guessed a number when I told you how loose it was. Wow. It's like less than 1/8th. You'll see in a second.
EDIT: Here is a link to my album that shows you all of the pictures I snapped:

Awesome job on the pictures, im really happy with this case, i dont see why you would need anything other, it does everything and you get access to everything when open
$20 well spent
Looks pretty good.
It looks identical to the KeviKev I bought for 45. (now on sale for 35) Maybe the cutouts on the back are slightly different.
for $20, I might just buy a backup.
I would have liked access to the charging port while it was closed though.
i ordered the kevikev carbon fiber case, 10% off plus another 10% off with coupon code (kevikevdottcom) at www.kevikev.com
This case is perfect for the xoom... fits snug and doesn't cover up any of the screen. The angle that the case goes into for viewing is perfect.
I was considering buying the cases that were well over $50 but for $20 I got everything I was looking for in a case and more!
Yes, It's a really nice case, and keeps Xoom from falling out!
Mine should be here in the next day or so. Thanks for the heads up on this.

Is there a reliable kickstand/portrait style case for the T-989?
If you have one please give a slight review/opinion on it...
Body glove from tmo store best one worth it not too big looks good n works n holds up to abuse great. Not a whole lot of protection tho but for me it works just fine. Excuse my lack of proper punctuation and spelling but you get the idea.

I second the body glove one from the tmo store. I got mine in Dec and I'm surprised the kickstand hasn't broken yet. I love the it folds flat. My only complaint is that the color rubs off after a while.

Same here. i keep going back to my black body glove, even though it provides hardly any protection for my phone.
I had one for my Vibrant a year ago, which i dropped on carpet, the case popped off and SOMEHOW scratched the screen of my phone.
But, i sure like how it feels on the phone though.

My apologies.
I did get the case today. It's a little thicker than I was expecting but it's probably the same thickness as most dual protection cases. The inner layer is rubber and the outer layer is plastic. Its a little whiter than my phone is. The buttons are really easy to press. It's white so I'm expecting it to get dirty lol. There are different color combinations from the same seller on ebay. So if you have black or white there are some options for you. I'm loving the quality of the case. The fitment is great compared to another case I had.
I am no way associated with the seller.
I have attached some pictures. I got some ink stains on it already. I guess my hands were dirty.
Got the Seidio from Amazon with the holster for the same pricce as just the case on Seidio.com.

I have this case and it is bulky but that's to be be expected. The kickstand already has signs of cracking. I bought this case cuz at work, I keep my phone in my work shirt pocket and every time i go to lean down (with my old slick case) the phone fell out. This case stopped that but now is a PITA to pull outta my pocket sometimes. And if i happen to have any additional items in my pocket, the case pulls that out too when removed. It's a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' kinda situation. It does get the job done and I at least feel comfortable if my phone took a leap outta my pocket or off the fridge...

Seidio Active case...
Hey just wanted to give my input...
I have the Seidio Active case and the kickstand does NOT work in portrait mode, only landscape. BUT it does offer 2 angles in landscape. Aside from that I gotta say this is the 2nd Seidio Active case I've had, the other was for my HTC Sensation 4G, and this is the best case I've ever used for any phone. I'll be buying another one for whatever my next phone after the SGS2 ends up being.

I'm leaning hard on the Seidio case. I'm surprised it's not Portrait supported though, cause it kind of looked like it could be in a pic I saw using the belt clip I believe?
What's the difference in the 2 angles you mentioned?
Thanks in advance.
Hmmm... I don't know anything about the belt clip you mentioned. But the 2 landscape angles i mentioned turned out to be 3 after i played with it some more, you just have to flip the phone 180 to get the third angle. The lowest is around 20 degrees, then there's slightly more than 45 degrees maybe 50, and finally it stands almost completely upright, I'd guess around 85 degrees.

Eww beauty off the phone is gone
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Two thumbs up for this case thus far.
It is very easy to slide the phone into the case, and it requires just a little extra effort to remove it. The case is a tight fit all around. It feels sturdy and makes the phone easier to hold/grip with its more angular shape. The power button requires just a soft press, while the volume rocker requires twice the effort. The camera lens is protected and embedded ~1.5 mm within the casing.
Not sure if I am forgetting any thing else, but some pictures!

Comparing the thickness between the phone and the case (a little blurry, but you get the picture... no pun intended).
EDIT: Clearer pictures below!
I too got the case today with my Nexus =). I really liked the color and felt it was unique and a nice change from the black and white that every manufacturer seems to be pushing these days. I will agree on the buttons but nothing major. Seems like the phone will be safe should the horrific day arrive when the phone is dropped.
Cheers mates
Looks pretty cool
thanks
I bought the slim armor in black. I really appreciate the photos that you posted if you could post more close ups of the front and back I'm kind of curious about how thick the bezel is on the front mine should be here this week. Kinda wish I got champagne after seeing yours..
I love this quality and type of case. My friend has the same spigen for the S4 and I love the silicon/plastic style case on it. Good to see they made one for the N5.
Thanks for the pictures - mine is being shipped to me we speak . From what you've described/shown, everything looks great! Do you have a screen protector on their by chance? Wanted to know if the sides of the case make it lift off on the corners...
nice. the gold looks sharp, i was spit between that and the neo hybrid....ended up going for the neo-hybrid in gold
the white speaker dot actually looks pretty cool with a case on
FYI I noted in the other thread this case is significantly easier to put on and take off if you leave the two pieces together while doing it.

Hey, no problem. I believe you're asking to see a bird's view of the bezel with the case.
Also took some close-ups of the four sides for anyone who is curious:
Headphone port.
Charger port and speakers.
Right-side with power button.
Left-side with volume rocker.
Ordered the Black, looks like a great case. I like Spigen products.

I agree. The champagne color stands out and has a classy feel to it. Although I have to admit, I also like the white back of the N5. With a case or not, it is a good looking phone!

No screen protector yet. Still waiting for that piece in the mail ...

Solid point! I didn't remove the two pieces at all, which goes to show how easy the installation and removal are.
Nice looking case!
Just a few questions...
What is the back made out of?
Does it collect dust or finger prints?
Does it slide in and out of your pockets easily?
How is the grip?

Thanks for the pictures. I'm glad they didn't go with the glossy back this time around.
I was wondering once you put this case on is it also easy removeble.
Wen i'm driving in a car i put de N5 in a car holder and with de case on i think it's to thick
for that holder.I just slide the phone in the holder.Not much space is there be left on the sides.
Does it work with wireless charger or too thick?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
A gorgeous case. I don't know whether to get the white or the gold colour way, both are really appealing.
Did you have any issues with the power button as mentioned in some of the reviews on Amazon?
From past experience, does anyone know what of a case thats for people who drop their phones a lot? One thats out now or coming in the future?
Car mount

I'm curious on this point too. My champagne case should be delivered soon, but as I've just splashed out on (40% off) TomTom, I'd like to be able to mount the N5 on my dash. All my phones in the past have been naked, but since I've paid for this one myself I've got the Slim Armor for "protection". Maybe it's too early for the N5, but looking at other models are there ever solutions for mounting encased phones? Will the case stand up to occasional removal in order to mount on a car dash?
Come to that, has anyone yet seen a dash mount for the N5? Preferably vent-mounted; my last screen mount was broken by an over-eager MOT tester.
Thanks for any response from a forum lurker!

Another new holster/case combo is available that we pushed for. This one is nice and slim for folks that need that and says it comes with a screen protector.
Update: now available in a light blue and gray other than the usual black.

$14.97 on Amazon via Prime. Looks pretty good.
@Cowbell_Guy , this is for you...
Wow, yeah I agree that was perfect compact what I've been looking for! Just wish I knew a little bit more about that company. Either way I'm going to take a flyer on it I will order it let you guys know.
Thanks!

Good company, quality stuff.
Lol at some of their other products for reviews.
Probably not when you're going to want to hear it but there are two new versions of this case, one in a nice light blue and one in a gray color. I will grab the links throw them up later.
It's my birthday and my wife is making me cinnamon rolls.

All good, I dig the black one. I think mine is supposed to arrive sometime this weekend. I will be sure to post a review.
Interesting. For $15 I'd give it a shot.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
My case arrives today. Haven't used it enough to say for sure, but I think that this is going to be a keeper. It is definitely the most low profile case of any that I've tried so far. That, on top of the side loading holster that is designed to be worn on the right hip, makes this a winner and easy to use.
Will post a full review after more testing, but very pleased so far. Thanks to Zman for the recommendation!
I ordered one from Amazon. I got the black one. I'll try it out and let you guys know what I think. I have been using the Google fabric case, and I really like the look and feel, but it's a dust magnet and I want a holster.

Why do you say that it's designed to be worn on the right hip? Doesn't the belt clip swivel? I am happy with my Seidio Surface case and holster that I wear horizontally on my right hip, but the bottom of the case is too thick to work on my Seidio desk dock. The low profile of this one might let it work, but I want to be sure I can wear it the same way.

It swivels, but only 180 degrees. Not a full 360 degrees like some that I've had in the past. I had to be Sido surface case as well, and while it fit on my right hip fine, I can't remember if it's span the full 180 or 360.
Regardless, if you like the phone on your right hip, this will be a great case for you. I've tried about 5 different ones so far and while this one isn't perfect, it's the best I've found. It's very smooth and low profile. It doesn't feel quite as nice in your hand as some of the others, but I think that maybe with some wear and tear over time it will be a little bit easier to grip.

Thanks for the information. I had assumed my Seidio holster rotated a full 360, but I just checked and it only rotates 180 degrees too. I don't see why it can't be used on the left side though. It will swivel from horizontal right, to vertical, to horizontal left. It can't rotate to upside down, but I don't think anyone would carry it that way anyway.
As long as it is thinner than my Seidio case, I'll try it out and hope it works in my Seidio dock. I don't have Amazon Prime so I'll see if it qualifies for Free Shipping Friday or find something else to get over the $25 minimum.
Just got this case in, and put it on. It's very slim, and the active edge works fine. My only complaint is that it is slippery. Hopefully it holds up well.

Is it like dangerously greasy slippery or just a little slick? All of my Seidio cases are relatively smooth with no real texture, but I have never worried about them slipping out of my hand.

It's just a little slick. It's a plastic case with a rubberized coating. It's not grippy like the rubber coating on the Nexus 5X though. I actually have had the Studio surface case for my original Pixel, so I know what you mean. I would say this is about the same.

I would agree with everyone else who has suggested that it is a little slippery. I think that is my only gripe. It's not dangerously slippery although I'm hoping it with time use and just a little bit of wear and tear it gets to be more gribbable
I just ordered the one from here, but this one by the same company looks like it has more texture plus the top and bottom of the case are open. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077GBRJ17/

My dad has that one. The texture adds slightly to the grip, but it's got the exact same coating on the plastic. I didn't go with that one because I didn't like that the top and bottom of the phone are open.
