I got the black glossy Cruzer case from Amazon and it fits snug and tight...better than my Incipio case I purchased from the Verizon store. The case is nice and durable. The power button and 3 prongs are open and the volume keys are closed with a nice rough texture. The volume keys are very easy to use since they are sealed. I recommend this case to GSM Galaxy Nexus owners and the price is not bad at all.
I gave it a 5 star review on Amazon.
Here is a link...
Check out the other designs Cruzer has... Android print case looks pretty cool too.

How is the fit and finish, for lack of a better term, of the case? How tightly does it fit around the face and how are the areas around the mold seam?
I'm currently using this Qubits case and while it is quite good, it is not perfect.

The fit and finish is great. It is not loose around the face or around the seams. Im telling you, this fits nice and tight all around the phone.
Sorry guys.... I'll get pics later today...give me about 2 hours.

I have this case and while it fits perfectly it takes away from the look of the phone. Also makes it bulky and just not the same. I have a smoked one if someone wants it. Will sell it for $5.

Sale at Amazon on these
FYI - if you want more than one, you can get three for the price of two at Amazon - use promo code BUY2GONE. Several different colors, two different patterns.

I got black. I didn't care too much about the color though. I only use the case when I am in route from one location to another. When I'm at home or at the office I take the case off.
Anyone use a good Universal Car Dock that will work with the GNex?
Amazon seems to have a decent selection. I just ordered an Exomount. The have a demo video on their site and it looks pretty good.

I ordered a Empire universal mount. Don't buy it. It's advertised with GNex compatibility, the side arms push down the volume keys, even worse, It broke what I was trying to extend the arm. It was only $8, I guess I got what I paid for.

The mount is surprisingly small. The base has some type of sticky element that allows it to attach to multiple surfaces. I'll find out tonight how well it holds up on a car ride.

Hello Jerk82,
How do you like the car mount?
Thanks
I'm wondering if I would be able to mod this with my official GSM Car Dock. My case on the phone (a small/slim TPU case. It's really popular here, I just can't remember the name) has cutouts for the pogo pins, but my phone obviously won't fit into the car dock with the case on.
Something like this would be perfect if I could "enable" the pogo pins.

I have been waiting on the official Samsung case for the GN, and I found it and ordered. £12 UK.

Looks quite cool.
I also found a really nice pouch, a company called SENA, I used their cases for my iPhone, from 2G right up to 4S and it's been the best iPhone case I have ever found. They are amazing quality and have never marked a phone. £17 UK

that samsung mesh case looks like silicon so that means stretching. and since it's mesh, it means it will stretch faster. money wasted if it is silicon.
Will they ship to the US? It looks nice and might just pick one up

The pics on the site look real. They also did a video review of the case with drop test....there was a pic of what looked to be genuine otterbox packaging. Hoping it's the real deal....they see to be a legit site. When I ordered mine today they had no stock of the blue, purple or green....only a crapload of black and 13 (make that 12 after my order lol) of the glacier.

Anyone bought from them before? Or found some useful reviews of the site? Only found a bunch of youtube videos by them.
I've ordered a case from Noreve already, but had an Otterbox on my HD2 and the protection was great... especially when you're drunk and likely to drop your phone :laugh:
Ok I bought myself one. Looks like it will be a cool case especially since you can use the holster as a kick stand.

That was a selling point for me as well. I love my ballistic sg maxx, particularly due to the less bulky holster....so it will probably be my go 2 when leaving the house. When hanging at the house I will make good use of the kickstand feature on the otter holster. My only wish would be that it could be used in portrait mode. I had an otter on my last phone and NEVER knew it had a kickstand until a few days ago. :banghead:
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Does this have a belt clip (deal breaker for me)? Also, how is the screen protector? Do you have to use it? Thanks.
Yes, it comes with a belt clip. It's a separate holster that stays on your belt and the phone clips into it. It can also be used as a kickstand if you take it off your belt and 'lock' the clip open.
If it's anything like the HD2 Otterbox the screen protector is good, but mine didn't hold up well to repeatedly removing the phone from the case, it developed blotchy parts where it was sticking right to the screen and other parts weren't. Eventually I removed the screen protector (it's not designed to be removable, so you can't put it back in if you do remove it).
dang. That is a good deal. I bought a Glacier one from Amazon yesterday for $35 I think. Im kind of nervous if the case is legit though...
This is the one I bought, anyone buy from "ITX Wireless" before?
NEVERMIND: I cant post links yet, but seller is ITX Wireless on Amazon, hopefully its real.
Thanks OP for the link! Just bought myself the Glacier to go along with my white SGS3.
Bought! Thanks, nice deal. I just happened to break my case today unfortunately...so this worked out well. Went with Glacier.
Thanks for posting this excellent deal. I've used Smartphonepedia.com recently. I ordered my Galaxy S3 Body Glover tpu case from them. It arrived extremely fast and if the case is knockoff, I honestly couldn't tell. It came in retail packaging and the product shows no signs of being 'cheap' or 'knockoff'.
I definitely did not hesitate on taking advantage of this deal. I ordered the glacier colored case and even though it's on back order, i'm perfectly fine with waiting considering the cost savings and besides my Body Glove case from this company is holding me over just fine. Thanks for this find again!

this http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/1474003404/Waterproof_case_for_lg_nexus_5.html , but 3 problems
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".
