Like many of us, after buying the n7 the search for the prefect accessories for it started. In my case it was a search for a screen protector and a case. The screen protector was an easy find because I've been using spigen screen protectors on my devices for several years. Spigen hasn't disappointed. The spigen screen protector is excellent and fulfills my needs.
The next accessory required some trial and error. Do I want a case or a sleeve? I knew that I wanted minimum added bulk. So, I bought a moko ultra slim case and a ceocase leather envelope pouch I found on eBay. I tried the moko for a week. Although it is a good case, I realized that I prefer a naked n7. This led me to buy a dbrand skin. The dbrand skin is simply great. The fit is superb. It adds a touch of color (I got a yellow) and minimizes fingerprints on the back plate. It adds no bulk to the n7.
The ceocase leather pouch is a sleek and simple envelope style pouch that has a magnetic catch. The interior is felt lined making the n7 easy to slide in and out of the pouch. The pouch is well stitched and precision cut. It offers a good good amount of bump and scratch protection.
I am now set. I have essentially a naked n7 that has a decent degree of scratch protection. The n7 lives in a nice leather pouch when it is not being used. I am loving it.

Well there are also plenty of other posts and stories on this forum. If you're going to post an epic tale might as well add some pics to show off the setup. It does seem like a pretty nifty minimalist setup.
Always bought Gelaskin but it seems like this dbrand "WOOD" vinyl will look sick ... Just bit confused if i should buy only the front or both side ? Any suggestions
Ok, here are the photos I promised of my setup. Sorry for the delay. I hope you enjoy the accessory porn.
Photos explained:
The first pic is the N7 with the Spigen screen protector.
The second pic is the dbrand yellow skin.
The third pic is the Ceocase red leather envelope pouch with the N7 inserted.
The last pic is the pouch with the N7 partially inserted.

None taken. I was curious and got an opinion from my wife as to whether she thought the leather pouch/wallet was a woman's wallet. She disagreed. She said it was too big and not ornate enough to qualify as one. In fact, she commented that it was reminiscent of a style of travel wallet she has seen by Coach leathers for men. Regardless, the macho side of me finds it is to be simple and quite functional for the N7. I'll let the feminine side of me appreciate the looks. :laugh:

It does come in a more mundane and conservative black or brown.
My Setup:
No Case
No Screen Protector
any other way, is far from simple. with the rubberized back, it aint getting scratched. and the front? it's not like a phone which is always in your pocket. which means, the chances of it being scratched are a lot slimmer. I never use screen protectors on any tablet i own. nor case lol

No silly, it comes with a fanny pack strap.
I've been unsure how exactly I want to cover this thing up. Case, skin, nothing? I'm undecided at this point so I appreciate all of these threads to help steer me in one direction or another.
The Roocase is on sale, looks great. 5 shipped. I bought one. I also have a Moko slim and Portenzo. All sweet cases.
The Portenzo hard book case is expensive but high quality, where the Moko and Roocase are cheap and may last 6 mo. I don't speak experience since they are new to me, but judging by my Poetic last gen.
I'd definitely recommend a slim case with a flap. It just feels more durable and tossable. Also just the ease of just flipping it open and it turning on.
A sleeve is good for travel for luggage but daily usage.

Amazon has one from Accessory Exports made by Empire for under 10.00. I got one from the same seller off Ebay and its pretty close to the Feather by Incipio. It has great grip and adds no bulk.

This is great. Very thin, does what I want!
Only beef with it - it covers the SD slot. Seriously, what the heck? I will probably cut a hole in it.

Casemate arrived now. along with the steinheil antiglare screen protector. Really pleased with both. The case is light and minimal to protect the back. Same design as hells shells. The screen protector does a good job of minimising reflection barely any distortion of the image and feels great to touch. Much easier to swipe the screen such as when playing virtual joystick games or bang bang racing

The CaseMate one looks a lot like the Empire one and the Boxwave Crystal Shell. Unfortunately those two both crack at the corners after just a couple of days.
Any sign of that kind of cracking on the CaseMate one?
No, but I've only had it on since Friday
First impressions though are that this thing is a good quality plastic with a nice Soft touch finish. Really stiff so it is fairly tricky to get the zoom out. Its in there really snugly. It feels solid. I'd be VERY suprised if it cracks

I just put in my order & projected arrival date of Jul 5-7.
The case is only 5.8 ounces so that is really light..plus I like how it has the two stand positions.
That RooCase is built exactly like the Belkin case, and for nearly half the price. I should have ordered this. I may order it and return my belkin case.
I kind of wanted that one, but I needed something with a zipper to keep dust and stuff off the tab. I bought the roocase executive portfolio, and it's very nice quality, so I would recommend a roocase

The flap /back of the case each have magnets, so it doesn't flap at all. It's completely flush with the case, kind of recessed, when not in use.

I've seen that one too, but I'm not a fan of the velcro. Is it real leather or PU?
Pretty sure it's real leather - at least no strange smells.
Fit is good, I really like it for carrying around protection and using as a stand. Is a bit bulky for everyday sit-on-the-couch use. I am extremely offended by the PC Micro company though - they sent an email asking for a good review in return for a $2 refund. Not cool!
I got my Roocase today. It is very nice. It fits great. Only thing I notice is when you have it down at the low angle the tablet is upside down....which really doesn't matter since the screen flips
i ordered this last week and it was backordered. I am finally getting it tomorrow. Ofcourse I will post pictures and review when I get it.

Yep I got mine this week and I like it a lot. I'd recommend it. Quality is good and stands up / angles towards you pretty well. It's similar to the Apple iPad folding case but fold is a little more thick and sturdy.
I just got a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 and I will be using it for school. Now I need a case that also has a stand and am most likely going to get it from amazon. It seems rooCase is the most popular there and is this ultra slim seems the most likely for me. But it looks like it cannot tilt, or I cannot angle it more. Am I right about this. I really need to change the angle and I need a small case for the school table.
Good fitting case
Just got the ultra-slim Roocase for my GT 10.1. I really like it. The quality looks good, and most importantly, it looks like it will protect my tab very well. I would recommend it.

There are a currently nice slim cases out there. You should probably stay away from the Ballistic line if you don't want bulk.
Great find! The only thing that would concern me a bit is that the case wraps way farther around the front of the phone than most of the cases out right now. I don't know if these usually come with screen protectors, but I imagine it might be a problem for those using thicker (glass) screen protectors. Both the white and black variants both look awesome though!

My nexus 4 Ballistic didn't ship with any screen protectors. I actually have my Ballistic Nexus 4 case stretched on my Nexus 5. The holes don't line up and it interferes with the volume, but gives me peace of mind until the Nexus 5 case I ordered arrives. From what I've read the glass protectors are not very thick so I image they would fit.
I will definitely buy their Nexus 5 case.

You're probably right. After looking closer at the pictures, it seems like the part on the bottom that wraps over the face is silicone so it should stretch easily enough over a screen protector.

The older the device gets, the less I feel I need protection. Maybe it's because I start itching for a new phone every 6 months or so.

Since you mention colors. Ballistic often puts out a vibrant red. Trident on the other hand has frequently released a washed out pink-red, even though it will look nice in their ad pics. I have had nice lime-green cases from Trident. Moral of story is just don't trust Trident's colors, especially the red.

http://www.gocellular.ca/?search=Nexus+5+case#/bballistic/
I got the i-Blason over the weekend and when I came into the office, I had a package waiting for me. It was the case that is kinda confusing to clarify because it's mixed in with other cases on Amazon. To clarify what I wanted, I went straight to the horses mouth and ordered it directly from i-Blason for $7.99USD+shipping.
http://www.i-blason.com/candygel-hybrid-tpu-hard-clear-case-for-google-nexus-5.html
The case, which is tpu is much more malleable/softer than the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Also the i-Blason is very tpu-ish on it's lip unlike the Spigen UH, where the Spigen is ultra stiff.
When unpackaging the Candygel tpu, I also noticed that the case "looked" smaller than the Spigen UH. And when I was about to put it on, I said to myself, this doesn't look like it's going to fit! LOL. Glad I was wrong.
The case fit like a bodyglove. LOL I mean the case lip is very flexible and forgiving. And keep in mind I have a Spigen screen protector as well so I had to make sure that didn't come up. And thankfully, it did not. :good:
I have been using it and playing with it for a while and I have to say it's a pretty good case! The buttons are there, allbeit, covered, but the buttons now have feedback, compared to the Spigen UH. The volume buttons are also fine as well.
The ONLY fault I can find thus far is that on the bottom of the case has a scuff mark that was most likely done from the molding process, which I can forgive. It doesn't hinder the use of the case, it isn't sharp or uncomfortable because of it. I can even see it, but I know it's there. And I know I'll forget about it on day to day usage. The cut outs on the speaker aren't the best, but it's tpu and again, it isn't horrible, but I can notice it lol. The mic holes are perfectly exposed and just to note, the micro sim tray are covered. The clear back is why I got it. I can sport my dbrand white CF as well, where the other options before were the Spigen UH and Ringke fusion.
For the price, I can recommend this. and plays well with the Spigen screen protector thus far. The TPU makes the phone more form fitting and seems a tad smaller in holding it in my hands.
Anyways, here are some pics...enjoy! Oh and feel free to ask any questions or if you want pics at different angle and stuff like that.
How much bulk does this case add, in terms of height and width and also the thickness of the phone? I've been looking for a slim case to use with my dbrand skin as well, and I've been eyeing this one up.

It's thinner compared to the spigen ultra hybrid if that helps. It's like a tpu case thickness. Meaning not very thick.

I want to say it's actually a bit better than the Spigen UH when it comes to the fingerprint magnet. But saying that, you have to take into account that I have a WHITE cf. That makes the fingerprints invisible and barely visible. But if you hold it at an angle, I can see some, but not as bad as the Spigen UH.

Does the clear back attracts fingers smudges and oil? I have a crystal Spigen ultra fit and I hate that about it.

What about scratches ? I just got a Tech21 case for my Nexus 5 and only had a few days and I can already see scratches building up. I am going to return it tomorrow. It does have a clear back which is what I was looking for. Thanks

Well you will eventually get scrathes. I have a white backing on my phone so you cannot see them at all. But looking at it without the phone in it, yes you can see scratches.
Here's a relatively new one that popped up on my radar. It's a TPU case with nice buttons and very good reviews, not only from a materials perspective but also with respect to button feedback. I think the honeycomb look adds a bit of subdued flair. Apparently the case is in fact black, but from the photo it looks ever so slightly green. Could be just the lighting. Looks very nice if you ask me!

Looks awesome. I tried buying it, but they won't ship to the US.

GOSH that looks sexy I especially love the way the case curves from the back to the sides so seamlessly! And it is translucent? if so, it would be even sexier!!! Some real life pics and review would be appreciated! hope they make more of these and make them available internationally, and more colors.
Also the dark green color does look nice I know its black, but still!!!
Love the look of this case so I emailed them just to see they'd be willing to ship to the states...
Dear Jason,
thank you very much for your inquiry and your kindly interest in our products.
Unfortunately we actually only sell our products within the EU and other european
countries. For logistical reasons concerning the customs clearance, we don't offer
shipping to the US. Thanks for your kindly understanding.
We are already thinking about selling our products on Amazon.com, too so that
US clients would be able to receive our cases within a few business days.
So maybe you will find our cases in your country in the near future.
Wish you a nice day.
Best regards.
Philippe

So maybe in the future, but not right now.
I ordered this case just because of your OP I have the ringke fusion, ultra slim and a nilkin shell And this case is BY FAR the best case I've ever had on a smartphone. Its REALLY slim, the fusion is actually bulkier and it offers a lot more protection than the fusion. It looks absolutely gorgeous and it feels even better. You have no fingerprints whatsoever and the bee thingy on the back feels really good. Its a bit harder than generic tpu cases, the whole case feels like the rubbered edges of the fusion only a lot better. So 10/10 I can gladly recommend this case to anyone. The buttons are also covered and feel great. If anyone wants pictures I can provide

Got the case as well. It fits perfectly, but it makes the phone more fat than the mumbi case. Overall I love it

Cool, looks like a tire! Hahahah
If they had something like that on a hard shell case I'd be all over it.

tire, yes my thoughts exactly. I found a few tread cases for the GN and NS on ebay. Casemate only makes for the GS4 now. Any idea if they'll be available for the N5? I don't even want casemate's cases, even a generic case with a tread pattern will do.
**** i dig that case too, wish it was sold here in the states.

You say the buttons are great. How do they compare to the other cases? Do they give feedback, or a click of some sort? Some case button covers are too stiff, while others put so much pressure on the buttons that it becomes too easy to accidentally turn the phone on while in your pocket.
I guess i would pretty much compare it to the fusion if you have one.. If you don't have one for reference, it does get a teensy bit harder to press the button compared to naked(obviously), but its not really clicky.
Edit: the buttons are not hard to press and feel very natural, but as I said not as easy as without a case

It's the best case I've ever used
Not a single complaint. Nice feeling, grip, look, fit, material, ..
Just received mine. Looks and feels great but I found one major flaw already. The micro usb cutout is very small, just to fit oem N5 cable and it fits tightly. Any other cable (unless it has longer than usual metal part of micro usb plug) will be unusable since the case is made from hard tpu that won't stretch to fit any larger plugs.
I got this last week and it is hands down the best tpu case I have ever seen. I would not have thought that diztronic could be trumped, but it does. Faboulous build quality and feel. It is a bit thicker than most tpu cases and the cutout for usb port is small (oem cable fits exactly), those are the only "downsides".
How can I get this case? I live in Chicago.
