Those who want and expect the quality that comes from a real one. Who knows what the "cheaper" one is going to be like? You'll probably end up going back and buying the real one anyway.

Bought one of these cases and i'm fully satisfied with the quality and design of the case. only problem is the antenna hole in the corner.

[Q] Anyone Find a White Case Yet?

Just curious to see if anyone has found one.
I know this is a ? and technically in the wrong section, but figured it was appropriate because its about a accessory

I found using an exacto knife and evo gear to be the way to go

Thunderbolt white case
Try this, thinking about one myself
Try Case Mate, they have white cases
thanks everyone for the ideas, i ended up finding one for 4 bucks hard rubberized plastic one from amazon if anyones interested ill drop the link in a post
the back cover is interesting never seen an accessory like that before, usually the back covers are the same as the one the phone has.but i always use a case so be kinda pointless to buy, and u said it wears down and peels so no good.

Try rearthusa(dot)com. They have some white cases. I ordered a case from them yesterday, but have not received it yet, so I don't know how good it is, but there are reviews on the web.

Yea there are, I ordered one off amazon and love it. It's a bizatch to remove it but its still not bad

That Case Mate case on Amazon is pretty cool, but that's an awfully hefty price for a phone case.

Leather case for galaxy S3

i ordered one of these , as keeping the case away from your skin by a few millimeters cuts down the emissions by heaps
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/D2-EASEC...Accessories&hash=item5ae746eee8#ht_3358wt_905
I didn't get my case, yet but I have search results based on Google.

They're expensive, but Vaja has one small leather case out already, and I'm sure they'll design more with the relative similarity between carrier devices, and the number of buyers across the world.
The first one they've come up with is $70, which sounds really high, but I can tell you from experience that these things are inSANEly well-made. They're probably hand-stitched by one 85 year-old lady in Venezuela, but their cases are awesome.

I can't post URLs yet, but I got a leather carrying case on Amazon for about $6.
I got this one. I love it because vertical position is a must and also the clip can rotate. It does leave some black marks on the back of the phone but nothing is perfect
The $5 & $10 cases on ebay /amazon are not real leather.
I am also interested in some real leather options. A search showed "hoco" as an option, they look pretty slim too.

I've had an Easecase (a different model from the one the OP ordered - I think mine is a B1) for my HD2, S2 and now S3. They're really well made, fit perfectly and you get a choice of leather, lining colour, closure system etc, I do look at other ones available but in the end I always end up getting their stuff

Seconded! I don't have one for my S3 (yet), but I've been considering the Grip or the Pouch they have on their site.
I've bought their cases for past phones and not only do they look great, but they're very durable. The price-point is a little painful, but well-worth it in my book.
Might as well ask this here. But do any of you guys (yea guys on this one) carry around a wallet case? I was gonna get a SGP Valentinus black for my SGS3 but I got to thinking, maybe it seems a little feminine. I wanted one cuz it would mean for me to not carry a wallet around. I wanted either the Valentinus or the Argos. What you guys think

You can use Capdase leather case. Maybe some of them got wallet design. But recently, they use a frame to hold the phone and neglect those wallet layer. Sigh........

Quite happy with it.
In my opinion the nillkin v series is probably the bestn in it's class, but that's personal, and I haven't received it yet. The no name moko slim isn't that good I think. That's what I have right now
I have also ordered the nilkim and waiting for it to arrive.
please u have the Link on the nilkin. is it on eBay?

The way the stand works is what I am looking for. I am keeping my eye out for the Speck Fit Folio, but this one looks interesting. Is it slim? From the pictures they have, it kind of seems it may be bulky. Do you have any pictures of it?

I have one and it does not support sleep/wake.
Just waiting for mine to arrive, it says clearly on eBay, smart wakeup, if it really doesn't have it u can return it, that's not my item on eBay but is similar. Also says 100% nillkin brand, depends on your model but

I bought a no name white folio case from eBay before ordering my Moko UltraSlim. I paid $1.79 with free shipping from China! It's not bad at all. It has the smart wake/sleep function too. Honestly though I do prefer my Moko UltraSlim which was around $15 or $20 (don't remember how much) shipped from Amazon.

It's bulkier than the speck fit. but probably the least bulky compared to all the slimbooks.
I bought one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/360721223665?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 in black.
It feels premium for something so cheap. It has the magnetic wakeup feature as well fold points for a stand. Definitely worth a look.

Is that the V case from Nillkin or just the normal one? Wondering if anyone has received the V case as it's supposedly able to keep the screen cover closed.
Keeping the cover closed is another subject in the other hand it doesn't keep it closed.

Waterproof case

Any leads on waterproof cases for N5? I have a generic waterproof pouch, but it has solid rear panel, so no camera use. Also the pouch is limiting as button operation is difficult and headphone jack is not accessible. Wishing for a LifeProof or Otterbox, but doubt N5 will have enough sales to garner that kind of attention.
We can hope. The Lifeproof cases are the only thing that makes me jelly of iPhone/Galaxy phones.
Why don't we send a group email (from all we users of nexus 5 here on the forum), asking them for a waterproof cover?

Welcome to the forum. You must really want a waterproof case! It seems like you signed up just for it! Anyhow, I would really like a waterproof case as well.
Would make me feel better if I had a waterproof/durable case.

Just wait a Lil. Maybe there will b a cheap life proof knockoff for N5 showing up on eBay soon. Just like a knockoff lifeproof Samsung s4 case showing up on eBay months b4 the real thing.

Probably going to have to go that route, I doubt any of the big case companies will see enough numbers to make it worth their while. I'm not sure, though, if I would really trust the water proofing on a "cheap knockoff".

I have a $15 lifeproof knockoff for samsung S4 and i can attest to the splashproof. Havent the need to test the 6ft waterproof for real yet. But whover made this cheap knockoff shou;d consider making one for N5. they can corner the market early... wonder if i can find who make the case...
A water and shock proof case would most definitely be hugely helpful. As I spend quite a bit of time running/cycling with it, getting caught out in the rain with my phone can (and has) ended badly. If only LifeProof would heed our calls...
Being that this thread is from November, I don't think it's gonna happen. Best you'll get, is a trident aegis or Ballistic with port covers.

Sorry to disappoint you but does not apply to N5. The case I was referring to was for Samsung S4.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111156742485?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
I was saying that whoever made that case for S4 should try to make similar case for N5 and that they would prob be able to corner the market fairly easily given there is still not really decent cheap waterproof shockproof slim case for N5.

case with dust covers

anyone find a case with dust covers built-in?

I am also looking for a case with dust cover. It frustrates me that companies like Otterbox, Spigen, etc. not offer any high quality accessories for this device.

From a business perspective, they don't see the OnePlus One as a product that is sold in high volume as its not offered by any of the major carriers. The new Ringke Fusion includes dust caps but the one on the OPO doesn't have them.
