Need something to hold you over til otterbox cases are released?

This is a case my gf bought from my local mall. She paid $24.99 but there cheaper on ebay. Its kind of like a defender series knock off with no built in screen protector. She has a white visor screen guard. Its a nice case fits tight. You can tell that if you had to remove the rubber alot it would probally get lose after a while. Im thinkin about the all black one for my pebble blue. Heres an ebay link http://www.ebay.com/itm/HYBRID-HARD...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item4ab8fde780

I got the black one of those. Kinda cheap feeling but it will do.. Mine came with a screen protector.
I'll report back with pictures *no phone yet tho*
By the way I got it for $12 on ebay with free shipping via USPS that got to me in 2 days.

I "rented'' a ballistic sg maxx case from at&t until my otter box defender ships from amazon (only $34.99). Don't like the sg maxx but it will do till I return it.

Agreed. I'm surprised these haven't crept their way into a Dollar Tree yet, there's no way in hell I'd spend more than $5 on something like this.

These are definitely unique 3D-printed cases, but they all have the same flaw: dirt & grime will easily work its way under the holes in the layered patterns.
I *would* consider one of these nice designs, but only after they incorporate a silicone or TPU inner core like my Incipio Silicrylic hybrid case.

Here are some pictures of how the case fits around the phone. (Note that the front face is not really covered and you can actually see the bezel) -- @FiveOhFox

Give it a shot and let us know, prob won't fit correctly or fall apart after a good drop.

Is there a fake Eclipse? I'd be up for trying that for the right price.

will wait btw, where did you buy?

haven tried this particular case before, but i've personally bought a couple of other cases from ali express. The quality varies quite a bit. Some are better, some dont really fit. The aluminium bumper i bought for myself fit like a glove, and was of pretty good quality, while a different one that i had purchased for my girlfriend didn't really fit well. Have to look at feedback and orders before ordering from there.

Top Case Makers

Out of the top makers, who do you think will or should provide a case of some sort, personally I would like a sleek Otterbox or a Ringke Fusion. By the looks of it, a Ringke is in the production. Time will tell for that. But out of all honestly, I do not think Otterbox will deliver any time soon.

I really like the UAG cases. It would be a pity if there wasn't one for the Nexus 5.

Here's the render of the Ringke Fusion for the Nexus 5 from their Amazon listing. I think it looks purdy. Tempted to pre-order it.

I go for minisuit as their accessories are not that expensive but still of good quality. I used to like otterbox though.
Anyhow, I wonder if there's a forum or a survey website which offers list of top case makers online. I think that would help thousands of users who are looking for accessories online.

Definitely UAG! Had one for GS4 it's awesome.
EDIT: I ordered a Cruzerlite case for the N5 when they had the free shipping deal and it shipped today

Running Diztronic TPU on my N4, matched well with N4's nice angular lines...so will look into their N5 offerings on amazon.

The N5 will be my first Nexus device. Is Ringke Fusion the best case protection?
I had a Samsung Smart Cover with my Note 2 and I don't want anymore something that hides the screen...

Spigen has a few going at the moment. Which is huge cause they barely supported the Nexus 4. I personally love their work. My girlfriend has a few for her iPhone 5.

Hopefully we get an OtterBox

What about Case-Mate and Puro ?

What about Zenus?
Did anyone tried the ones 4 nexus 4?

Fosmon case?

Anyone have experience with the Fosmon cases specifically this one: http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HYBO-D...id=1391025371&sr=8-10&keywords=fosmon+nexus+5 Looks nice but has zero reviewers so I'm somewhat skeptical.

Glad I could assist haha I can't wait to see what you think of it! I was hoping it compared to the slim armor from spigen somewhat.

Looks like it's probably pretty thick, but I like the design! Somehow I suspect that the fit and finish might be a little suspect considering the price.

Yeah the price is what made me think twice but if it's actually good quality that would be a heck of a deal. I'm looking for a case with style that isn't too expensive

Really like how it looks, seems like the construction is similar to a ballistic case. In for one as well
