The holster format swivel. Other than that this looks nice. Unfortunately i need my phone horizontal instead of vertical. I could be wrong.

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?

Hows the Hc case?
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
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've had an Otterbox Defender for my S3 now for quite awhile. The silicone over the plastic shell always seems to stretch over time causing a loose fit. I know you can contact customer support and have a new case sent to you from Otterbox, but I figured there had to be something to tighten the silicone up. After browsing the web, I heard that if you boil the silicone for a few minutes in boiling water, it will tighten it up. I figured I'd give it a try and it actually did work, the case now fits like it did when it was new.
How long did you boil it? I stopped using my defender because of this issue
Boiled it for about 2 minutes. If your silicone is stretched too far though it won't go 100% back to normal. It will help though that's for sure!

I went with the body glove tough suit because I don't like how the otter box distorts the screen with that rainbow effect. No stretching yet but if I have that issue I'll use your idea.

It should do the trick for your case as well. Hopefully it won't stretch like the otterbox to begin with.

Done this also. But immersed only for a minute. Then went to a cup full of cold water.
Dont use tongs when getting the case off the water as it will ruin the shape of the case. As the case is sensitive when its really hot.

I had two otterbox defender cases and got fed up with the stretching, so I looked around found Ballistic SX0932-M385 SG MAXX. I'm sort of a clean freak and take off the case it always keeps a tight fix.

Ballistics sg maxx is a great case. Best drop protection imo. With them big chunky corners it just bounces back at you lol. My wife had it on hers for awhile.

HAHA BUDDY!!!! Same thing here! I love my BodyGlove ToughSuit!!! Gray/White Version Here! I got sick and tired of the OtterBox Warranty claims, however this is the first device I've had the stretching issue with an OtterBox...
I also had the same issues, solved them (temporary) by heating up the rubber in a microwave. Well, the rubber still started to stretch again after some time, I contacted Otterbox and received a brand new Otterbox Defender which still looks very good. I´ve removed the screen protector though
Ive just stopped using my defender because of this reason, and I won't buy another one again because of it.......... thought they were supposed to be the best.......
Well, unfortunately there is hardly a similar case available which 1) offers some protection and 2) looks somehow decent and fancy enough the be used on a daily basis.
There are some similar chinese cases available which also offer a hard plastic shell and some rubber around...but look in my oppinion rather ugly than a regular Otterbox Defender.
Have a look at this one : http://www.amazon.de/yuba-RoboCase-...1367166500&sr=8-2&keywords=galaxy+s3+survivor
Since the support was kind enough to me, though I bought my case used in another board and didn´t receive a invoice, I may still consider to use other Otterbox Cases with other devices.
The stretching isn't the only flaw with these cases. The clips that hold the two plastic portions together also seem to break after awhile. Guess you can't complain too much when they send another free though.

So mine shipped way earlier than it was supposed to (i think it said Aug 23) and so far it seems like a great case considering what I paid for it.

I'm not exactly a fan of the leather but it does seem pretty nice as well as the microfiber inside.
I'm excited to get mine now. I own the official nexus travel cover and only con I see is no awake feature.

The Poetics have a awake unlock when you open it. Not sure on the official travel rubber case.
What's the difference between this and the Moko? I know of the physical differences but I'm asking about the feel or why one would think either is better then the other?

Any issues with the magnet being too strong and triggering the sleep/wake function when folded all the way back? I know the one for the 1st gen N7 had that problem.
Also, how flat does the cover stay on the whole screen, especially after it's been folded into stand mode?

The magnets seem just right, and they only trigger sleep when you close it.
As far at the cover staying flat, mine doesn't want to go completely flat but I assume it will go away over time.
mine shipped out yesterday, can't wait to get it.
On the first gen nexus 7 i also had the same exact case. VERY VERY nice and fits secure and snug. i love this case and can't get over how cheap it is
I'm torn between this and the Moko. Some people say the Moko is better while others say Poetic. Ordered the Moko but it's shipping out on the 23rd so I still have time to cancel and order the Poetic.

Looks like Poetic case has better protection for the side buttons and the bottom of the tablet. So i ordered poetic.

hows the front cover fit/sit? my poetic case for the old nexus 7 didnt fit perfectly, it was kinda off centered.
the moko's front cover looks off in the pics that people have been posting...
Mine fits perfectly. It does have a bit of a gap when the flap is closed shut, but it isn't something that will bother me. This case exceeds all my expectations for the quality.

The poetic fits better than the moko. I have both.
Pros
Three magnets on the side to keep a secure closure.
Doesn't open by accident easily when carrying.
Very snug
The button cut outs feel better.
No metal tab (I know some were worried about this)
Adds very little bulk.
Con's
None that I can think of but maybe it costs a little more than the moko.

I hope mine ships soon. From what I have read this case is a home run. Especially for five dollars
sent through space time.
Waiting for mine to ship! Looks good though, ive been on edge without a case on this thing!

Appreciate the pics and info.
Mine has shipped..base on the expected delivery (8/29), it's loaded on a pack-mule and making it's way from the west coast to the east coast.
I have a $nugg case for my N7-2012, which I live very much... kinda hoping I'll be happy enough with the Poetic to save the $$.
How does the stand functionality work? Is it stable?

Absolutely love these Diztronic cases. For such a cheap case their attention to detail is spot on and all cutouts are cut precisely. Going to be using this case for a while since Spigen support refuses to contact me back due to an issue with my Slim Armor case.
Let me know if you have any questions about the case!
You can order it here: http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Mat...=1384301727&sr=8-1&keywords=diztronic+nexus+5
Took 4 days for me to receive it after I ordered it.

You must not have many cases.
However, I heard they are changing the mold, I might wait a week or two. Looks really good though. I hate the flat backs on the spigens

I was looking for a true bumper case to use with my Nexus wireless charger car dock. However it seems that there aren't any quality ones out there. So I bought a Rearth Ringke Fusion case, remove the back and made a bumper case out of it. =) It is slimmer than Spigen Neo Hybrid. The sides are stretchy enough that can be pushed outward a bit. I have never used a true bumper case before so I'm not sure if this kind of stretchiness is normal. The back is raised enough to protect the lens. I have dBrand skin installed so there is another layer of protection for the back/lens. Hopefully it will work like a true bumper case.
Looks nice! Was it hard tot remove the back of the case? I think i'll give it a try to!

It takes quite a bit of force to take it out but just keep on trying and eventually you can push it out for sure. I have only done this on a Ringke Fusion. Spigen Ultra Hybrid is another possible candidate. However I can't guarantee the back is removable.
I like that keyboard.

Friendly advice: Don't do it. I just did, and the bumper alone is super wobly = hardly any relevant protection for the phone + uncomfortable in the hand. Tomorrow, I'm buying a superglue to glue it back together
hey what base is that holding up the wireless charger?
thats pretty much exactly what i've been looking up. want to mock up something just like it.
That base is exactly what I am looking for as well. Could you provide some more info on it thanks.
