I just got my Casemate in the mail but I haven't tried the Rearth yet. I am pretty sure it is going to come down to these two and will be a tough decision.
Anyone who owns both want to take a shot at convincing me to use one over the other?

+1 vote for case mate. I have used some case mate cases, and these are pretty decent.
I have the case-mate barely there case and I really like it
Wow..that Rearth case looks nice...

Same here. I have case mate and use it. I also have the samsung mesh case. But casemate barely there works for me.
I should have the ringke slim on Friday or so, I will post a review when I do

The Ringke feels good in hand(thin), and they are having it half price now.

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

Im looking for a very perfect fitting case for my gnex, I love my naked phone so I'd like a pretty thin case just to prevent scratches and minimal drops. I want something that allows for easy pressing of the buttons as most cases make that pretty hard. Anyone have a great case they'd recomend?

i guess. the sgp and diztronic are both tpu cases, so there is no major difference. for the diztronic i like the button cutouts, don't have to worry if the case makes it hard to push buttons
incipio feather or the ringke are pretty thin cases

I have the case and no, it's not barely there. (Though I still like it for other reasons)
@OP, you should take a look at Rearth Ringke and SGP Ultra Hybrid.
I use the diztronic smoked gray translucent case. It looks nice being semi transparent, adds very minimal bulk, and comes with a nice screen protector. I ordered a skinomi also but haven't put it on yet because I don't really like the feel that type of protector gives, so the quality of the protector that came with my tpu case was a nice surprise.

You want one of these. They're like the ringke cases but a lot cheaper. They are surprisingly good quality.

do any of these thin cases fit with the extended battery? (2000mah)
Incipio has a great light case.
my other phone is a Nokia n900 maemo
Ringke slim fits the extended battery without the cover (cdma version). It's perfect for exactly what you described, small drops and scratches. Looks great too.

Hi everybody.
This is my first day with my nexus 5 and I love it. I have a spigen slim armor case for it and like that to. The only thing is that the lip around the screen is very thin and I do not know if it would protect against a drop. I also have an iloome flex glass screen protector. Do any of you know if otter box or trident will make cases for the nexus 5. I am worried it will break with what I have on it now.
Thanks

Otter box says they don't have any plans on making a case for us. I-bason and ballistic , sedio all make some great cases. I also have the slim armor I feel safe enough with its lip. But on the other hand you do have a glass screen protector which will surly be closer to the lip.

I-Blason Armorbox is what I have. Being an electrician my phone takes some knocks every now and then. With this case on it feels indestructible

Don't have one, but if I have to use it, I would definitely give the Tech21 case a try (you may wanna read through page 3 for more pics)
Some drop test videos in YouTube are quite impressive.
Thank you for giving suggestions. Do you guys think I will be OK with an iloome .12 mm glass screen protector and the slim armor also do you know of and slim armor drop tests?

I just retired my i-blason case. Unfortunately the corner rubbers started to pop off and yesterday I couldn't find one of the rubber corners. The phone doesn't fit tight and snug in the case. Now I'm rockin tech21 case. So far so good.

Its in this forum topic(Nexus 5 Accessories). I'm on mobile using tapatalk so I can't link it. They can be found in tmobile stores for 29.99 and in the tech21 thread (when you find it), some of the last pages, you will find a link with 30%? (I think) discount. Print it out and take it to the store and the case will be yours for $22 bucks

I have the Ballistic SG Maxx too, I love it. It's a little bulky but feels solid. The only con for me is the hard screen protector, I love the idea, but it feels a little odd, and takes a little time to settle on the screen.
I think I might order the AEGIS. It looks promising but I wanna see some reviews first.

I would choose the Ballistic Tough Jacket MAXX (SG MAXX) for protection. I own this case and I am very satisfied with it. The only concern I have is that it attracts lint easily.
From reading reviews, I have learned that the Urbanite's coat of paint can peel off.
The Incipio Dualpro looks cheap and flimsy. The reviews are not good for it so I would not buy it.
i like the Trident N5 case I had a trident for my evo 3d many moons ago.. i always rocked otter box defender most of the time.. think ima go with the trident soon.. looks sweet
Hi,
New phone has just arrived, which case is the best for the phone?
Looking for case that is durable and will withstand the odd drop.
I had the case mate on my s2 which was brilliant. Screen remained scratch free (no screen protector) even falling face down.
Is the case mate case for the N5 as good?
Open to alternative suggestions.
Cheers,
H
I can vouch for the Reath Ringke Fusion case. Quite slim, doesn't affect use too much but enough to provide more than adequate protection. Got both colors, get the black one. The grey looks bad in person. The back is customisable.
It is strong enough to withstand drops. But not facedown on gravel because the lip is very small.
Also you can look on ebay for some nilkin sand texture cases. They are actually very good if you want a slim case. lots of grip.
How about a spigen case? The slim armor is really a recommendation.
I went with the OEM bumper case. Figured Google would know best, and I wanted my phone to be protected the moment I took it out of the box. I do feel like something such as an otterbox would provide more protection though.

I don't really like the Ringke Fusion, there are sharp edges on the case. Thats what made me switch away from the case. Other than that its a good case.
I recommend spigen screen protectors and cruzerlite case. Look in the cruzerlite thread for pics
