That is the case I got from Best Buy today. I compared it to the silicone one they had for $21 but I ended up with this one because it seems more durable and if you lay the phone on the screen the case lifts the screen off the surface its laying on to help protect the screen as well.
I think $32 out the door was a little pricey, but to protect my new phone it is definitely worth it.
They were sold out by the time I got there. I really wanted the one with the clip. Can't find them now. They are made by Seido from what I am hearing which they sell for $49.99 so it's a pretty good deal and solid imo.
can we get some pics? the product wasn't displayed good on there site
it's a great case. The insides are felt lined & padded. Also I had no problem slipping it in w/ the invisashield. The back of the case goes slightly past the camera lens so the phone isn't laying on it. Then there is a very small lip on the front to keep the screen from resting on a surface. A pretty solid case to use for now until more people start manufacturing for in. Hopefully serpent cases make something for this

its literally the same as the seido case that someone else posted a topic about. look at that topic and thres pictures and in the general section someone posted a video review of the seido case.
the best buy platinum case is just a re-branded seido case.
I had purchased it because a sales rep told me it was a part of the $30 bundle with the car charger and invisible shield. At the register it turns out that the rep gave me the wrong case and I bought it anyways. Early today I got my max coverage Invisible Shield installed and returned that case along with the Shield they had sold me.
The case is decent looking, definitely much better than most of the cases out now. I hope this phone gets the kind of variety in accessories that the iPhone does.

I think this specific case is different unless the picture Best Buy is using is incorrect. The cut outs are different. Also, Seidio themselves said in another forum that Best Buy has a Platinum Series case not made by them.
If the OP can post some pics we'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
There are two different Platinum Series case designs for the EVO @ Best Buy sold 3 different ways. The have the Seidio style horizontal split by itself, Seidio style with holster, and one styled like the Bodyglove case (vertical split). I picked up the Bodyglove style case - it's "rubberized" all the way around and felt lined inside.
:S thats expensive why dint you go to sprint? the body glove for the evo looks awesome I saw it at best buy and i dint like the back cover while the one in sprint i was and it was like 24 dollars.. and online its 19.99

bsim85 posted a tiny pic, but here are some large ones:
It's OK. I've still got the original "screen protector" on my phone because I haven't tried it at work (I'm not going to open the Invisible Shield or 16GB memory card I bought until I verify the phone works everywhere I need it to, but the case comes in a resealable package so no worries there).
The back of the case is hard and has felt lining inside. The front part of the case (it splits around the edge of the device like the Body Glove) is more rubbery. It comes apart the same was as the Body Glove, with a coin in a corner slot. The camera lens is recessed a couple of millimeters from the edge of the case. When on it's back the case rests not on the overall rubberized surface but on the smooth edges of the case around the camera opening and the bottom ports so it could still slide around in your car this way. Will I keep it long term? Probably not. Will it suffice until something better comes along? Yes.
EDIT...
I should note that the case doesn't look as blue-grey in real life as it does in the pictures.
I bought the case at Best Buy and it's great. Radioshack had Zaggs for $15 plus the 20% off accessories if you got it in the morning. I got the case at Best Buy and it's excellent. A bit pricey, but one of the better cases I've seen. Plus the silicon cases sometimes get caught up in your pocket and harder to pull out.

Is this A EVO case?
cause it seems to have more cut outs in the side pic than the EVO has buttons on the side.
yeah, i went to BB on friday and there was a sign showing that the Platinum case, the invisashield screen protector, and a rocket dog car charger were on sale all together for $45.
the case is overall is very nice, i like how the screen is recessed and how the case does not get stuck in your pocket like a silicone case does.
i think it was a good deal for the money, seeing as how i needed car charger because the hero uses a mini usb port.

I bought one from BB (with holster for $34.99 (giftcard)), and it def doesn't look like that. Mine's a much more rubbery look / feel. It's black. The cut-out's on yours seem much more prominent and I don't have one on the lower right side (why is one even there? just the phone volume on the upper part of the right side...).
Strnage
I got slider case instead of the snap case. Reason being if you drop your phone on a corner, the slider case isn't going to split open like an egg leaving the yolk (EVO) splattered on the ground.

I dont know what Seidio is trying to pull but on the inside of the fake phone cutout (on the Platinum) it clearly states Seidio, Inc, Houston Texas.
Plus, I ordered a Innocase II and compared the two side by side. They are identical. Save you cash and buy the Platinum.

As I stated previously there are (2) different case designs from Best Buy - one like the Seidio Innocase and one like the Body Glove. The one I pictured is indeed for the EVO (it came with a "fake" cardboard EVO inserted in it). The "extra" port cutout you're seeing is how you take it off the phone - you insert a coin and twist it to pop the two halves apart (JUST like the Body Glove case).
I am a rep for T-Mobile and we have started receiving our accessories in the stores. I don't have pictues just yet because I don't want to lose my job as many of my co workers are also tech savvy and on this forum, however I have seen that there are a few nice accessories that you all can expect from T-Mobile at launch. Keep in mind that our stuff is pretty expensive but there is a buy 2 and get 20% off and buy 3 get 30% off accessories special going on right now.
1) leather vertical belt clip
2) gel skins in blue, purple and pink so far
3) a hard shell with a kind of monochrome checker pattern n the back. (This one is nice and thin but is the kind that lacks wrap around protection on the top and bottom of the phone. Kinda just cradles the sides and back. Still nice though.)
4) there is supposed to be a hard shell with a slot for you ID and credit cards. (I haven't seen this one yet but if its nice and thin this is the one I will buy.)
5) there should be a desktop cradle coming soon too because this phone has the charging contacts on the side so it will be a landscape cradle. Looking forward to this one too! (Missed it from when I had my nexus)
Anyways I'll stop rambling now. I hope this helps you all out and at least can give you an idea of what is coming at launch time guys. The MyTouch line is
T-Mobile's franchise line of products so expect to see a lot of advertising, support and a full line of accessories.

Thanks for the update. Keep us posted when and how we can order the new phone.
I think one of the best places to get the phone will be at walmart usually 50-60 bucks cheaper...

Is there a chance you could post pics of credit card holder shell? Sounds interesting!
Any luck telling us location of your store? I personally am looking for the white my touch with the clear hard shell case and kickstand
Im using the black gel skin on mine we got some nice ones in my store there is a clear one with a grey rubber grip down the sides which cradles the phone nicely and covers the corners as well. I threw it on the white one and it contrasted very well. Wasnt to crazy about it on my black phone though.
t-mobiles facebook page posted a bunch of pics of the accessories. they all look pretty sweet!
here is a link to the preview:

I'm digging the black case with clip
Are there any real-life pictures of these cases? I'm looking for a slim case that will protect that is not the rubber/silicone.
I got the black silicon slip case, the dual-port car charger and the generic GPS cradle (I wish they'd hurry up and release the official docks).
The silicon case is choice. It's not too 'rubbery' so it doesn't stick to things like other cases have in the past. It is extremely smooth. It feels like the soft touch paint along the frame, and adds the perfect amount of weight to the phone. I applied the included screen protector (film), which took a bit of 'finger grease' to cut back on the friction. Now, it feels similar to the standard glass (which was smooth as silk, similar to the Vibrant).
The generic GPS cradle is decent. No charging ports, but it serves a purpose. Pity the Car Home app is a bit buggy and not as handy as stock 2.2's application.
I'll be first in line to pick up the official docks when they are launched.

So it is two cases? I don't follow... What are the clear cases with the kickstand? How much was that one?
That is the case I am using I may take more pictures of others later tonight It is a 2 part case has a thin rubber underlying which the plastic overlays on to make one case.
I really like that white case, almost bought it last night. I just couldn't see spending $30 on it, that should be $20 at most. Waiting on some ebay knockoffs.
I got the clear case with the grey grip on the sides and i put it on a blk and am happy about it. Even with the case its not too much bigger than an i phone but the screen is bigger and it is lighter.

I have this exact case and it's just amazing!! I love it!
Case also includes a full screen protector.
That is a sweet case. I used one from OtterBox for my N1 called a "commuter case" and this is just like it.
The MT4G fits nice and snug and is very well protected.
Well worth the $30 imo.

It is excellent case which adds only light weight (any case would)
We can open the usb flap without any difficulty
It covers the volume keys,camera keys and power keys,
the three keys (back,menu,home) are not protected
please post your views
it has a nice color
thx for sharing
Awwww Yeah! Amazing one! I'll buy one like this! Ebay, here I go!
Mine started ripping after about 9 months on the spot where the rubber edges of the case meet the actual case itself (The line that you see going all across, distinguishing between the two types of materials used for the case). All in all it was still a pretty good case, mines been through hell, probably why it ripped.
I just got mine on the mail today. It's black, and it's not cheap.
I decided to get one after reading so many good reviews about it. I haven't opened it yet, so wish me luck.
i love the case..... how may colorsto choose from??? anyone got any good seller from ebay to recommend??? thanks in advance
I do not know that he will not be used for a long sticky ~
But do not know whether there are other colors
That looks nice but it must be hard to pop the USB cover with it...

Hey could you say me what did u do when it ripped off?? Did you stick it?? Because I am afraid as it is slightly ripping off the edges...What case are you using now??
Where can I puchase one of these other than Ebay?
Ha! If you plan on getting one from Ebay, plan on shelling out $20. It's a cool case, but for now, I will stick to my $2 Hard Rubber case.
Too bad nobody's selling this over here... would love to try one.
I have been using the black version of the same case. Available at Croma stores all across India. Cost me around Rs.800 (appx $20). Real good proection, also adds a touch of class.
i have the black one but i,m not happy with that on my phone... make my phone bigger and the case from x10 ii is pretty good on scratches

Taking a shot with this. Exactly the type and style I was looking for. Almost abnormally high number of 5 star reviews on Amazon but looks legit:

Ordered the Black Panther directly through their website, followed on Twitter for 10% discount, ends up $9 cheaper than Amazon

No mention of it (or the company) through a search here at xda so taking a chance. I'll return and give my opinion once I get it.
Spigeon Slim Armor S-view
Although I usually love Spigeon cases, the Slim Armor S-View model is sub-par IMO. The hinge for the front cover is held together by two small plastic pegs, which after less than a month of opening and closing it has caused the plastic part that holds the pegs in, to break off and the hinge will not stay on and close. If you just love the case or want the S-View function, than I would eith suggest the official Samsung S-View case and buy the magnetic clips to keep it closed, or get a knock-off case. I remember aliexpress.com having a bunch of knock-off stuff for cheap, but keep in mind it is still knock-off/clones.
Wallet case? I don't know, probably Spigen has some nice cases. I have one wallet case and is from Design Skin. I like it, but don't how others would think about it.
I just want to say i don't like my Note 3.
When I bought my nexus 5 I wanted a pouch, but really didn't find any to my liking . Last week I decided re-search and found a couple real good pouches, but really none what I had in mind. Then I came across a MediaDevil Artisan pouch, didn't really know what to think, like if it was going to be a cheap knock off or bad quality. As I looked into it I found out that this company makes very high quality pouches that I was never aware of. I decided to give it a shot based on amazing reviews. It came in a nice black gift like box and very professionally packaged . Has full grain leather with red stitching ( believe it comes in different colors), the phone fits perfectly in the pouch nice and snug. Not to tight and not to loose. It has micro fiber feel inside of it so when you slip you're phone it cleans the smudges and fingerprints. I would recommend this pouch to anyone who wants a nice look to there phone.
This is my first review so it might not detailed or organized in any way.

Thank you very much for this review dia_naji!
On your pictures I see you have the black with red stitching case, and inside you have a black phone?
On Media Devil's webpage it says that the black phone is different size to the white or red, therefore they sell cases for black and cases for white/red. And for the black phone there's only one option, grey with pink stitches, not my cup of tea. The case you show on your pictures is meant to be for the white/red phone only. When I first saw this I was sceptical at them, because both phones are the same size, only thing different is the plastic texture.
Can you or anyone else on this thread confirm that you're using a black case with a black phone? Despite the big red warning on Media Devil's website: http://mediadevil.com/us/artisanpouch-leather-pouch-case-google-nexus-5-by-lg.html
Thanks!
the difference, as I've been told by their employee, is the the material used inside, because of the texture difference and the material of the pull-out ribbon, as well as the size of the pull-out knob.

I thought it would be something like that....
My question remains, is anyone using the black case with a black phone? If so, any downfalls?
I asked Mediadevil about the difference between black and white/red nexus 5
Hi Marius,
I hope you are well and thanks for getting in touch.
The black and white Nexus 5 have a slightly different curvature, and as our cases are designed to fit very snugly to the device itself, this means that a black Nexus 5 will not fit into a case designed for a white Nexus 5. In addition, the black Nexus 5 has a soft-touch back as opposed to the harder plastic back of the white Nexus 5, which adds friction when it is being inserted and removed from the case, and we have also had to take this into consideration when designing a case for the black Nexus 5.
At the moment we are completely sold out of all colour combinations for the black Nexus 5 except for the slate/pink option, however we do have new cases in production, which should be available by the middle of March. I'm afraid I don't have a definite release date at the moment, however please feel free to get back in touch in a week or so, as we should be able to give you an update then!

I'm very interested in this leather pouch. But is this compatible with a tempered glass screen protector (0,30mm) AND with the toastMade (real wood) skin
I hope the pouch is not too tight for this? Or will it stretch over time? And what must I choose? Black or white/red version of the pouch, because Mediadevil said there is difference in size and material they use, but this is wood material so....???
Sorry to bump an old thread. I'm looking at this case for a Black Nexus 5.
Does this pouch cause the soft touch back to wear out from constant friction from inserting and removing the phone from the pouch? Especially near the bottom where the pull tab makes contact.
I had a similar type pouch for the Galaxy Nexus, and that worked fine for the plastic material on the phone. But seeing the Nexus 5 has a soft touch back I can see the friction causing wear. My Lenovo ThinkPad had a similar annoying issue as I found the rubberish soft finish was coming off from the sleeve I had it in.
Bump! Still would love to hear feedback from owners of this case. Just got my Nexus 5 and I'm looking for a nice pouch!

Well I have had mine for almost 3 weeks after reading this thread. I LOVE it. I got the gray/blue color and it looks great with my white n5. I use it hard and it has shown next to no wear in the 3 weeks I've had it. It is still as tight as the day I got it and wouldn't be able to be pulled out on it's own without the pull strap. Time will tell. Definitely no extra room for a TPU or similar case.
Side note: As pictured below, you can see one of the stitches wasn't tied off correctly and came undone just two days after using it. I think I curbed the unraveling by melting the end of the thread with a lighter. It hasn't moved since. I emailed Mediadevil through Amazon.com (where I made the purchase) and they had a new one out to me next day. Excellent customer service.
5 out of 5 stars would recommend to anyone.
Not a pouch person but this looks tempting
