I cycle and like to chuck my phone in my jersey's pocket so I can log my rides with GPS.
The problem is that the pocket is in the lower back of the jersey (for those of you not familiar with cycling Jerseys) it can get pretty sweaty as its sheltered from the wind... especially in the summer.
So I need a good quality waterproof pouch to slip it into - any recommendations?

Iottie. Check amazon

I have an Aquapac and I love it. Its obviously bigger than the phone, but it makes it useful for other things. It has a separator to keep things apart inside the bag. Just search amazon.

There was a video review someone did here where they tested one and he dunked it into a container full of water and it was working well. I forget the person though and the product name.

Tried it! They are a fiddle and don't add any protection to the phone really. I'd be more comfortable with a thicker pouch that's designed to last.

I have this case/holster. it does have a ratcheting clip on the holster btw. anyway what I was gonna say is regarding the screen protector. I had a screen protector on my phone before getting this case. I tested out the screen responsiveness with the ballistic SP over my SP and it suffered badly. So i chose not to use it. Maybe I will try to remove my SP and try the ballistic SP on it one day.

This case is great,
Cons: Smells horrible, Smells like petroleum (which it is made of) if the phone is a foot away from me it is very potent.
Needs a kickstand.

My maxx case came in the mail the other. I put it on right away just to find out the hard back cover doesn't stay on the rubber case. That sort of got me upset. Even the screen cover layer was a bit deformed. It was concave inward, not straight. Anyone else had a similar experience?

Its great. It's thin and durable (I use it without the optional outer rubber layer). Covers the ports of headphones and charger. There are also plastics films to protect the camera lens and flash lens. Only annoying hindering aspect would be the power button and home button. You need press with a bit of force. Taking it off is a hassle too, but I knew that when I purchased it. I popped off the built in screen protector since I have a zagg hd on mine, so I can't comment on that. It feels great and the kick stand isn't flimsy. Overall it is a great product.

I personally have taken my phone under water using a generic water proof bag. They were 3 for $10 USD. the only problem I had was if the water put pressure on the screen it would go crazy..... I just added more air to it and held it so I had to push through the air to select what I want. Ie picture or video

Well but the skin is definetely not made for a daily use i reckon, I mean to make sure it is 100% waterproof you always have to use a new strip of sealing tape after charging, right?
Would be good to have a modified battery cover for contactless charging. I´m starting to work on a diving base for the next 2 months, and would be good to have something covering my GNx from water.

This is true. The lifeproof case cost over a million USD to develop, and they lucked out that the iPhone 4s was compatible. Not nearly enough people own enough Gnex to make it profitable, plus the GSM would need a completely different case from the LTE. FInally, my own experience with the case sucked. You can only take it off/on 50x before it breaks (not waterproof) and it destroys sensitivity. It's something you only want when theres water around, but you can only take it off/on 50x which sucks. Also, you have to test it every time before you submerge it. The waterproof bags are way better IMO.
I've had a case on my note II ever since purchase, when I took it off, I see tint scratches around the phone. Is it just me or are others are experiencing the same thing?
Thanks for your input guys.

Yup -- it is what it is.
Mine scratches easily and has flaked off in some spots like near the head phone jack.
I didn't bother with skins I figured after the glue hardened it would pull the paint off anyways if I tried to remove it so I don't see the point.
Cases are enough for me as I can't see it anyways with one on.
Stop worrying, it will happen some way or another and enjoy your great phone!

On my previous phone (an Infuse), I had cracked chrome near the micro-USB jack. But my Note 2, after almost three months so far, with no case, has no scratches on either the glass or the chrome.
I belive it is in the design. Samsung intended it to be soft plastic in order to absorb shock. So any lil bump can nic the paint off.
I put my Skinomi on as soon as I got it. Sooo, hopefully not.
Yea mine has a few battle scars. I wish that samsung would up their build quality a bit. Coming from an HTC Inspire (Milled Aluminum Body) the cheap plasticy feel was quite a shock. But overall I love the phone and eventually got over all the plastic.

1. there seems to be no covers for the speaker grills, camera opening or the earphone plug
2. the screen cover looks like it dulls and is made of thick-ish plastic so it may become difficult to operate the phone
3. I don't have the money to buy 100 pieces of these...
on second thought I think I will just wait for otterbox or bodyglove to come up with something...

Only option for a "Water Resistent" case is the Pelican 1040 case. Probably not what you are looking for.
nothing specific
If you need waterproof right now there are generic bag cases such as: Random Generic Water Resistant Bag from Amazon. Which should fit our phones with pretty much any standard case on them.
Still looking for an actual fitted case (not pouch) for N5 which is waterproof. Guess will have to wait a while...

I don't think there is reputable manufacturers out there that is interesting in making ANY waterproof case for ANY Nexus device.
If you search, there is not even one for the Nexus 4.... There are tons of em for iOS device..and some make one for S4..but that's it.
how could that thing be waterproof?

OverBoard Waterproof Case for LG Nexus 5 just found that it might be a safer option lol
It's interesting that LifeProof is not making case for Nexus 5, given that it is one of the most popular phone beside S4.
I like the LifeProof case because of how it looks and function.. it just a case...not a plastic "bag".

I'm really surprised that I haven't seen anyone mention anything about this fantastic case!!
I've had one, maybe two, of these cases previously for other phones. It was a few years back, and don't really remember how I liked them. But, they have been selling them for years now, and for most major phones, so I figure they were doing well. I had been through page after page looking for a case that caught my eye. I never could really find anything that suited me, and was about to settle on the official Google (non-flip) case. Somehow, I came upon the Incipio website and found the dual pro. Went ahead and took the plunge on the blue/dark grey version.. I COULD'NT BE HAPPIER!!
Seriously, this has to be one of the best three cases out for this phone; and, in my opinion, it is the best one out. I also have the .13mm Mime glass screen protector; it fits like a charm and has no peeling issues. The "lip" of the inner silicone part of the case actually goes over the edges of the screen protector. Almost as to "protect" it from chipping/peeling.
Does anyone else have this case? If so, what do you think about it? I might can find a camera to put some pictures up if anyone is interested.
