Well my Hard-book Portenzo case with optional camera cutout and Intellistand arrived this morning. Have to say that the case is top quality and feels really sturdy.
Once again thanks to Portenzo for such an amazing case!
http://shop.portenzo.com/hardback-for-the-new-nexus-7/
Here are some pics
Even got a cool box drawing done by Lea who works in customer services.
Oh the pics above make it look like the case is a royal blue colour (damn flash).
It is really a "Dark linen blue" colour, here are some pics that are more accurate to the actual colour
Nice looking case, just don't really like how thick it looks when folded, and it's $54 shipped, too rich for my $260 device.

I have to say that I quite like the thickness as it is like holding a hardback book. Also the case feels very solid and I imagine it can withstand a few knocks.
Yeah it's not cheap, but it definately has a premium feel and is extremely well made.

How does it stay on there? Also seems like the edges would be a little vulnerable. I might get one of these for my lady.

It's got some sort of sticky grip tabs on it that hold the device in place.
You can check out the video I linked to see how it performs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atSCZxbLg_E
I was abit worried about this when I read about it but this video assured me that it won't fall out or have problems keeping the device from moving about or coming out.
You might be right about the edges but the case is ever so slightly bigger than the Nexus7 so the edges of the device are covered so it would still offer some protection.
Do you have a wireless charger you could test?

How long did they take to make yours? I ordered mine back on August 8 and after contacting customer service, they stated that they hope to be done with my case by middle of next week.
I'm not sure if this is common, but the turn around times are terribly long.
I have an Orange one. I owned one on my OG N7 and loved it. The sticky tape never comes off. Owned it for months and never adjusted it or had to reapply. I don't have the intellistand. Mime has 2 strips of tape and the camera hole. I paid like $24+shipping for mine during their preorder sale.
Mines orange, yellow interior, and a red strap. The orange is more of a burnt orange, almost brownish. I like it.
Qi Charging works with it. I use my Samsung all the time.
Its a tad thicker then those Moko and Poetic Ultra cases (I have a white Moko). Both are close though. I'm using the moko for a week to see how I like it but I can already tell you the Portenzo feels more durable. The craftsmanship is great.

Yeah unfortunately they do get super busy during the first few weeks of a new product launch due to the demand.
They hand make every case and as far as I know they are only a company of about 10-12 workers.
Just be a little patient and I am sure you will get yours very soon.

Yeah the band also blocks the camera hole when the case is shut but that is normal as portenzo designed it like that to limit the amount of dust that can get into the lens when the case is shut and also you can't use the camera when the case lid is shut anyway.
Opening up the case allows the camera lens to become unblocked.

It takes them usually a few weeks. They handmake everything on the case to order. Its a small shop. Everything is custom made. I ordered one for my nexus as soon as they was offered and mine was just send thusday so ill have it monday. Yes i bought one of the nicer ones around 120 paid. But its the best case u will ever own. You could put it on ur bookshelf and noone would know the difference. It will take drops and everything. Call me crazy but ill pay for a USA handmade case, made with care then a cheapass overseas made one that dont last a month. Ive seem some people wind up paying more for cases of cheap crap then they could have paid for 1 nice Portenzo. Check they website out and see how real cases are made. But all this is just opion also. This is my 2nd case. My first one lasted 2 Original Nexus and still was in beautiful condition.

Mine came a couple weeks ago. Love it. I got black outside with sky blue inside with dark blue elastic. My sister's order is still awaiting shipment. Definitely a nice case.

It looks like some parts stuck and some parts didn't. Anything I can do about this, or am I gonna have to live with it?
http://i.imgur.com/ZrtP4.jpg
honestly I don't see the need for it on the back cover itself. It's texture makes it difficult to stick a layer on it to begin with - but it's such a flimsy piece of plastic that will probably bend and very unlikely to have any damages to it even when the phone drops.
Happened to me too, throwing it in an otterbox(just wanted extra protection) so this doesn't affect me too much.

Yes, it's on. I applied it yesterday and thought it would get better, but it didn't.
That's how mine looks too. There's nothing you can do about it it seems. I've had mine for about 2 weeks now and still looks like that. It definitely has to do with the textured back... I'm going to just peel mine off and if it ever gets damaged, I'll just buy a new one.
Welp, it says this now on the BSE website:
Application Note: We have found the best method for applying the battery door Skin is without application solution. Simply damp your finger tips, align the Skin to the battery door and squeegee the air out from the center out. Any uneven effect will settle out within 24 hours.

Hey guys. If you apply the battery door Skin to your Galaxy Nexus with the standard wet method and it turned out like the above pictures, we'd be happy to send you a replacement back Skin so you can reapply it with the dry method. It looks much better when done that way. Just open a support ticket at bestskinsever com/support and we'll get you taken care of.
Thanks!

+1. michael at it again with excellent customer service!!! keep it up mike!!!
I can confirm that it fits the lte nexus. Its not 100% but the fit is pretty good. You would have to look really hard to tell that some seams have a wider gap than other BSE skins I've used.
I also have the extended battery and it fits the cover too. Just doesn't go to the edge. But its hard to tell that it wasn't made for the lte model.
Also apply the back using the dry method and it'll look a lot better.
Thanks

Thanks for the feedback on the LTE version. This is in line with previous feedback we've received. The minimal difference in size between the LTE and GSM models shouldn't be very noticeable with the Skin applied. As it is, the flowing lines of the Galaxy Nexus requires a pattern that includes a little room for error when applying any way. The coverage is still very good and detailed though.

Doh! If you open a ticket with support they can do something for you. Just mention this post.
Michael, two questions.
The edges on the skin are still tacky enough to collect lint. I did not have this issue on my previous devices with BSEs installed. Is there anything I can do to stop this?
Also, even though I used the wet application method for installing the screen skin, it seems as though the glue still stretched enough to cause distortion. Will this eventually even out or do I need to try again?
Thanks.
What do you guys think?
Here's a link to the shop on ebay: Link.
I'm looking for something a little stylish in design and came across this.
I'm trying to favor Form over the actual function of a case. I'm almost tempted to get this one, but I wanted to see what others had as an opinion on it.
This case looks very similar to the iOttie Macaron case (see here)
If it is similar to that case as in feel and fit for the phone then I will buy this case immediately. I loved my iOttie for my iPhone 5 when I had it.
im really digging this case. might get it when funds arrive lol. anyone wanna buy a cruzer lite case? lol

I got my case in the mail over the weekend. I'll post pictures later.
Overall, it's very nice. The grip feels very good in the hand, and the case itself makes a perfect fit around the phone. The buttons aren't too tight like I've seen on other cases, but they make good enough contact that they work with every press. I'd even go as far as saying that pressing the buttons in the case feel more tactile than pressing the buttons on the phone itself.
My one complaint has to do with the rounded back. Oftentimes when I'm at restaurants or sitting at my desk, I'll set my phone on the table to use it. The rounded back makes the touch screen awkward to use as the case tends to slide the phone around a bit, or spin in place. I'd also gripe that the "iFace" logo is upside down when the phone is in proper landscape mode for camera use. No big deal though.
I got my case in the Android shade Lime-green color, but it comes in many different colors.
Also, Shipping took exactly two weeks for me, but YMMV.

It's not a whole lot to look at, but hopefully it helps. Excuse the orange paint stains on my kitchen counter. It's really bothering me in these pictures.
The back. Ample enough protection for the camera lens.
Spoiler
I really like the rounded contours along the perimeter of the phone. it feels good in the hand. It's got a soft rubbery grip. I actually nearly dropped my phone while taking one of these pictures, luckily for the grip...I managed to catch it in time.
Spoiler
The space for the MicroUSB and 3.5mm jack: Could be a bit tight for some, but works for all of my cords. My largest USB has quite a snug fit.
Spoiler
EDIT:WHELP, spoiler tags don't work like I assumed. Also, If you notice the ruler in the background, I was going to try and get some measurements, but a paper ruler doesnt do me very good when trying to figure out a difference between a couple milimeters. As far as thickness goes, the case doesn't even add a full milimeter. The sides are a bit of a different story, due to the rounded edges.
iFace case is strongly recommended for the Optimus G. It is very good quality with excellent grip.
Here is a link;
iFace first class Optimus G case
I've had a number of....accidental drop tests. This is truly a great case. The rubber bump-edge really does an excellent job protecting from falls. These aren't just little baby falls either, for instance, last night, my poor little phone fell from my hand, about 5 feet onto hard brick flooring. I've yet to acquire a single scratch anywhere on my phone!

Hey guys, have you noticed, Google is a bit lazy this year. I still haven't seen sign of official bumpers on the play store and my phone won't last more enough without a case. Anyone knows when will they be released? I mean come on, it's been two weeks Google. Hurry.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah, they were supposed to release the official charger according to several sites as well. I wonder what the deal is!
I'm in the same dilemma too . I'm tempted to buy another case , since i'm scared i might drop my phone, Hope it comes out soon.
Google wants people to break their Nexus 5 so they will buy another Nexus 5
I'm really getting sick and tired of the supply problems with Google... Every single device that they release has supply issues and accessories are even worse. How hard can it be to make more devices for launch and have the official accessories ready to purchase at launch?!
They hype their products and "leak" details to get people interested and then don't produce. It's very frustrating. Anybody should be able to buy a nexus 5 or any accessories at launch and have it ship the next day.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
For $35, there are better cases to spend your money on.
They released it for a few minutes on N5's release day, a few people bought and got them, they haven't put it up since then
The official Google bumpers are terrible. They're bulky and they feel cheap. Not to mention they're not truly bumpers since they cover the back. I really don't recommend them.
I would not be surprised if they are working on a real bumper to replace the one they have now.....something like the N4 bumper would be nice

Anyone heard news of otterbox for moto g?
Sent from my C6606 using xda app-developers app
On their homepage they list the defender ($49.95) and commuter ($34.95) series for the Moto G.
They're on sale from the official otterbox website and other ones, waiting for amazon but didn't check it yet.
Sorry for the late post, but through today Otterbox has a sale on their website for 20% off storewide with free Fedex smartpost and $5 2 day shipping. I bought 2 of the commuter series since I bought 2 Moto Gs and it came out to $65 2 day shipped with tax. Hopefully I'll have the cases before the phones. They seem a bit bulky from the pics, but until I receive both the phone and the case I guess there is no good way to tell for sure.

Anybody bought the white otterbox? hoping to see some pics of it.

My commuter case should be arriving later this week (ordered the lilac/dark grey one); once I get it in, I can snap some pictures if someone else hasn't already done so.

Thanks man.
Edit. Still can't make up my mind on a colour. I like the white but I'm worried about it getting dirty

We did get it today. Feels awesome. Didn't get a chance to take any pictures before work today however. But when I get off I'll post some up. I know it looked and felt awesome!

Just got mine today, and here are images of mine--hopefully these work (I can't post outside links yet).
The screen protector it comes with doesn't cover the entire screen--one side is rounded, while the other end is flat, and it will leave roughly 1cm exposed after it's been applied. You can see a faint border in the second image where the protector stops if applied from the bottom edge. If you don't mind a muted receiver/speaker, reapplying it from the top edge will make the protector reach .5cm below the display from that end.
edit: Fixed images by making them attachments instead.
edit2: Discovered the screen protector was muting the speaker quite a bit, so I had to flip it back to the top.
edit3: Removed lilac warning; my monitor's too blue, though the lilac appears to be fine when viewing OtterBox's site from my phone.

The lilac case is also much, much redder than advertised; had I known this, I would've gotten black. With color correction, this is how bright the lilac really is (for anyone interested):

cant see the pictures. Good thing i didn't order the Lilac. Just ordered the black one since that seemed the safest colour. White was my other colour but my hands get very dirty at work didn't make much sense.

The images should be viewable now--sorry for the trouble (had to wait five minutes before I could submit the edited post).
I originally wanted to get black, as lighter colors dirty too easily for me too, but I opted for some contrast based off the website colors.
As htcvividnoob mentioned, the side buttons are harder to push down with the case on; as this is my first OtterBox case, I don't know how this compares to the Defender series. I personally found this to be a perk because I don't have to worry about bumping the buttons by accident anymore.

Heh, I'm still looking forward to the images others post of their 'boxes.
I found out today that my monitor may be the problem--it's too blue; the lilac was showing up as a deeper violet on this screen, while on my phone the colors look about right. I didn't think to look at the website from other devices, ack.
This hurt, I'll try and post pictures but I managed to crack my Note 7 last night. Stopped at the bank jumped out of my truck and forgot it was on my lap. Took a plunge hit my step on my truck and then face down to the asphalt. Cracked left of the home button, doesn't seem bad and I could live with it but it's a new phone. Filed a claim already $200 later a phones on its way and should be here sometime Monday. Phones only about a week old, so much for this new gorilla glass but then again it was a pretty nasty fall. Anyhow just thought I would share with you guys.
Damn, that sux brother good thing you have insurance. I Cant ell you how many phones I've broken because I forgot it was in my lap. That's why I bought one of those magnetic car mounts and made it a habbit to always put my phone on there. Maybe you should consider something like that.

I'm glad you said that, there is actually one that I've been looking at and I think this whole situation is gonna make me get it. Waiting for the OtterBox defender too. Sometimes having the newest stuff sucks because there isn't much out lol.

So, all you're obligated to do is leave a review on Amazon, nothing else? Are there timelines to have reviews in by? No hidden fees, this is totally free?

Any of those tempered glass protectors actually fit nice? I wouldn't mind trying one, just trying to figure out which one.

They have not all been free, but extremely discounted. And it is really simple!!

I have tried 2 of them. They fit nice but did not stay that way. After about 2 days the edges lifted and dust got trapped. I trashed them both.
There is a review a guy posted on youtube with his note in the sand and ocean .. no scratches, no issues.
I'm gonna go with just a case.

Yes there is a time line In which you have to get the review done, 10 days upon receiving the product. But there are no hidden fees it's totally free. The only catch is that sellers are looking for people with high stats. So before you sign up I recommend going to you Amazon profile and write up a bio for yourself. And either delete reviews that are really short or rewrite them before uploading you Amazon profile url to the site. Most sellers are looking for reliable reviewers so at first you might not get approved for things but once you getvthe ball rolling and your average word count goes up you'll start gettig all sorts of crap that you don't need haha

Yeah over 250 word count, got them drooling over your word count! Now you rule with an iron fist and call the shots lol
Here's the damage, got my phone yesterday and surprisingly I got sent a brand new unit sealed and all so I was quite happy about that. Of course my case (Spigen) for now came in as well haha. Put it on the new device right away. Also now have to figure out what to spend my Samsung pay money on since I found out I can't transfer that
All in all the phone took the plunge pretty well now that I think about it and think about how high my truck sits. Still sucks I had to shell out the extra money though.
