I guess we know the dimensions of the phone approximately, are there any pouches which will fit available right now?

Match the dimensions with other phones then look for a pouch made for that phone? Or you can wait for the phone to be released and buy one thats made for it?
Since the Nexus 5 is supposed to be the same size or slighty smaller than the Nexus 4, I recommend two pouches which should be a good fit. The Mofi pouch for something to add protection when putting your phone into knapsack or similar carry bag. ordered from china about $4 each. I think the size i got for my Nexus 4 was 5XL. shipping was about 2 - 3 weeks to USA and Canada

For something nicer I like the Bugatti 'Skinny' leather hand stitched pouches in size XL ordered from Amazon.de. (about 16- 20 euros each including worldwide shipping) shipping time was about 10 days to USA and Canada.

check the Nexus 4 forums for more info, there are dedicated threads for each of these pouches.

Even if you like fancy pouches for your phone, I would still get one of these neoprene ones as a backup. I used one for my S2 all the time when it was newer. Pretty durable and stretchy and you can wash it and its pretty cheap. Might find it direct from china for cheaper if you look for it.

I just wanted to add to this since Buychina can be sometimes difficult to navigate.
This seller has the 5XL in all available colors. This should be able to accommodate the N5 with a case/bumper.
im looking for a pouch/holster as well. the one that goes on my belt. and the nexus 5 is not smaller than the nexus 4, its bigger.
if your interested in the MoFi pouch and are worried about size go 6XL
For my N4, i am using the Diztronic case and the mofi pouch. The N4 with the Diztronic case fits in the 5x mofi pouch. I seem to remember that the 4x mofi worked with the bare N4.
My Diztronic case for the N5 should arrive tomorrow. I will post the fit tomorrow.
PS If I can locate the mofi kangaroo pouch, I will also give some feedback on that pouch.
Do you guys think that the Senacases Ultraslim for HTC One will fit the Nexus 5?
HTC One H 137,4 mm W 68,2 mm D 9,3 mm - 87,14 cm3
Nexus 5 H 137,84 mm W 69,17 mm D 8,59 mm - 81,90 cm3
i'm actually looking for something like this that goes on the belt. i couldnt find anything specifically for the nexus 5. but the galaxy s4 is a 5" phone also so this should fit the nexus 5?

I'm using a 3 way accessory case by Timbuk2 for my Nexus 4. It was a little long for the 4 so I'm betting it's going to be perfect for the Nexus 5. It's lined with a nice fuzzy liner and has a pocket suitable for ID, money, credit cards and it can be put on a belt or where I normally use it on my messenger bag.

I've always been a fan of the original Sony PSP neoprene pouches for my phones. Nothing fancy but good protection. Works great for the rumbles of a golf cart which is about as rough as I ever need.

Same, I love my bugatti Skinny Pouch. Really hoping the N5 will fit it.
The only problem I think is the heigth, because the N5 is only 0.4 wider and 0.5 thinner so I guess it will even out nicely.

Hi,
Anyone know any soft pouch that would fit the Galaxy Nexus?
For my Nexus S, I am using this:
http://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-page.php?divid=Google&model=Google+Nexus+S&cat=Cases&skuno=82280
The material is very soft, and I like that.
I put my Nexus S naked there, without screen protector. And it's still good, shinny, no scratches
So, I am wondering if there is this kind of pouch for the Galaxy Nexus size.
Probably from Galaxy S II?
Thanks.
This is nice!

Amazon UK have a range of Bugatti covers (I don't remember if exactly that one was listed, since I'm looking for a holster type case).
Balls to covers/cases. Seem like a waste of time really. If one came with GN then I wouldn't mind (no idea if one does or not).
The buagatti soft cover dimensions I can find: 62 x 112 mm
Galaxy Nexus: 67 mm x 135 mm
I'm sure it would stretch to accomodate the width, but it's no good if the phone is hanging out the top of the pouch.
edit: apparently those dimensions are for the small case though, maybe there's one that would work. Having a hell of a time finding this thing though.
I found the official site:
http://www.bugatti-mobilecases.de/handytaschen_slimcase-sl-black-bugatti_4871.html
There the SL size 76mm x 133mm
I think that would fit nicely

Perhaps so, if it's like the old nexus one case we should be able to stretch it lengthwise a little bit to accommodate the height disparity.
To that end, searching for SL size got a few hits:

Went ahead and ordered one, will try to get some empirical data on whether it will fit the nexus well when I receive it...I figure if my thunderbolt fits and I get x amount of clearance with the height, then we're good
I found a beautiful one, but not yet in stock.
It's made of suede leather and the logo's are created by lasertechnology.
I hope it will come soon, because I like this one a lot

I think I'll be getting that case unless Samsung are kind and include a nice slipcase with the phone.
I dig the design on that, but don't want exposed corners.
I really hope you get a nice case inside the box. I know with my HTC HD2 I got a really sexy leather pouch and I still have even after two years, it's treated my phone well and saved it a few times Hopefully Samsung will be kind and give us one for all the damn confusion there is around this phone...lol
The slip case that came with the Nexus One was amazing. It's the perfect protection for a phone. I like the naked phone handling experience (no cases/screen protectors) and this protects it in your pocket. I wish more OEM's would include one with their phones.
yeah the nexus one case is what I'm all about emulating. I used it on my droid inc since it was the closest thing to a nexus I could get at the time and it fit in the same pouch =)....I miss that pouch!
I just got one of this from Bugatti, size SL
Tested on my friend's SGS2 and it is perfect fit.
But, keep in mind that GN is 5 mm taller. So this Bugatti SL will expose the phone a little bit, which I like. Because that make it easier to grab and pull it off the pouch!
PERFECT
Now, back to waiting my pre-order in The Netherlands ... *duh* ... *painful*
Has anyone fond anything available yet? Any sort of sleeve or pouch?
Phone due next week, and would really like to have something to protect it until more accessories start to drip through around xmas time.
Got the bugatti case in today, testing fit with my thunderbolt as I don't have a GN. It fits just about perfect with this phone, with edges hanging over top just enough to provide some protection. Tbolt is 121 mm versus 136 for the GN, so the GN will definitely be hanging out of this case if used. The material feels more suedey than neoprene and although it feels nice, does not stretch like the old nexus one cases. I don't see it suiting my purposes for the GN as I want the phone fully contained in the pouch.
Attached: picture of my thunderbolt in case
Additionally...the different material is much more grippy to the phone, it is really hard to get it out of the pouch (unlike the nexus one pouch, sigh!). I'd rate this as not too great for the galaxy nexus if you are trying to emulate the good old nexus one pouch.
I tested bugatti on SGS II and fitted well.
Certainly GN will be hanging out about five mm, but thats ok to have something to hold to release it from the pouch. I have similar like this situation with my Nexus S.
And about the material, you are right, it does not stretch much. But it can stretch! So, I expect it will be better in the long run (stretched).
Unless we dan find another brand ...

I've loved the Nillkin cases I purchased for my phones (One X, One X+ and now SGS 4).
Tempted to purchase but still waiting on the cheaper cases I bought on Amazon before I pull the trigger.
$19.99 seems a little expensive. Does it has the smart cover function?
Looks nice and it has all the smart features...

Looks no different from the Moko or Poetic which cost less than ½ the cost.

In fact, I have. For my old (now sold) Nexus 7 2012.
Other than the markings there was no discernable difference between that and my friends' Poetic and iBlason(IIRC) cases. Both of which holding up nicely after a year's time.
Unless this N7 2013 case is different, I'll stick by my assessment.
Basically, you spend your money, and make your choice... :thumbup:
Most likely this one and the others that look like this are probably close to the same. As someone said in a different thread they buy them in bulk from somewhere and apply the companies branding.

Not uncommon, in fact, very common.
If you order a few hundred units, they'd put YOUR name on them. In nice, hot stamped, pseudo gold leaf even...
I must agree that there is great difference on the overall feel and materials of the Nillkin.
I have the poetic slimline and the moko already, and gladly shelled the $16 for one from eBay just now.
I had the Nillkin for my now gifted to nephews' OG 7, and knowing all brands I was really waiting for it.

I bought and received this case (from Taobao to Hong Kong)
I don't have the device with me at the moment so I will take pictures tonight with it in the case.
Initial impressions are that the leather is very soft and the back cover is made in very high quality (leather wrapped around the plastic shell) and see no exposed plastic bits. Furthermore the "baseball" stitching on the cover is very nicely done, and very pliable with no stiffness.
Will update with fitment and auto sleep/wake tonight!

What page? Link is good.
I bought and received this case (from Taobao to Hong Kong)
I don't have the device with me at the moment so I will take pictures tonight with it in the case.
Initial impressions are that the leather is very soft and the back cover is made in very high quality (faux leather wrapped around the plastic shell) and see no exposed plastic bits. Furthermore the "baseball" stitching on the cover is very nicely done, and very pliable with no stiffness.
UPDATE: fitment is good and cut outs are accurate. Speaker grilles are properly cut and quality of the case is insane against the 11USD value. Must buy given the current case selection on the market. The case is light weight and made of very thick "leather".
The only minor quibble I have with the case is that the magnet doesn't keep the flap closed completely. Auto sleep/wake occurs without fault with a 1 second delay. (standard among cases). Finally the "Nillkin" logo is not very prominent making this a very stealthy case.

2012. no camera hole the back upper-left.
I have this case for my Nexus 7 first gen, and I love it, except that the front cover edge has started to split. Hard to explain, I'll try and get a pic, but basically the outer layer and the inner micro-fibre layer are coming apart at the outside seam. I'm looking for a similar case for my 2013 N7, not sure if I'd get the Nillkin again based on the previous experience.
Hi all,
I'm looking to purchase a quality leather pouch for my N5. Something like the Krusell Luna model:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006VAMYWA/
I dislike the models that require pulling a tab to get your phone out of the pouch.
Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you.
I am looking for the exact same thing.
Anything wrong with "Krusell Luna 4XL Premium Leather Pocket Pouch for Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note II and Other SmartPhones with 5.0 / 5.5 inch Screen - Black/Sand" that is preventing you from choosing this particular case?

I have a Bugatti case for my N4 and it's great. The N5 doesn't fit as well because it's a bit taller. I'll try and get some images up for you tomorrow.
I'd like to get another slim case as well. How fully Bugatti makes a pouch that's a little bigger.
Ok, thank you.
I tried XL slimcase in store but N5 just floats in it because it's to large, but they didn't have any other version to try it out.
I'd say the best quality ones will likely be handmade, from a site such as this: http://www.etsy.com/uk/search?q=nexus 5&view_type=gallery&ship_to=GB
I've been really tempted to buy one of these, although some are quite costly. You could even ask one of the designers to make you a custom one!

That looks really nice, actually. Nice job, and thanks for sharing.
So I've emailed SENA Cases about their wonderful line of leather products for smartphones & Spigen about their "Crumena" case series -- both of which expressed slightly less than interested responses.
Here's the response I received from SENA :
Thank you for your interest in Sena Cases.
Unfortunately, we currently do not have plans to make that specific case for this device. However, that may change in the future if we receive a high volume of requests. With your consent, we will keep your contact information on file and notify you if and when such a case becomes available.
Sena Cases appreciates your business and apologizes for any inconvenience.

We have actually discontinued most of our leather products, but we are always looking for our customers for greater insight and demands!
Thank you so much for reaching out to us to express your interest in our Crumena case, we will definitely take note of it and let our developers know.

That being said, it looks like neither company will be producing a product for this model in the foreseeable future, so what other options do we have? I looked for phones that had similar dimensions and it seems the GS4 when compared is almost identical, give or take a slight difference.
Nexus - 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm (5.43 x 2.72 x 0.34 in)
GS4 - 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm (5.38 x 2.75 x 0.31 in)
There are a few cases listed on SENA's website for the GS4 - what do you guys think? Will the sleeves / pouches created for the GS4 work, or should we hold out in hope of a company creating something for the Nexus 5.
Those who prefer the leather cases and have an N5, what are your thoughts?
I just ordered this: http://www.pdair.com/index.php/smartphone-cell-phone-pda/lg/lg-google-nexus-5-d820-d821/leather-case-for-lg-google-nexus-5-d820-d821-vertical-pouch-type-belt-clip-included.html
They have three other options:
Belt clip with naked N5
No belt clip for N5 with a case
Belt clip for N5 with a case

This looks to be just what i am looking for. I wonder how snug/tight it is. I prefer cases that have a strap to hold the phone in but this one might have to do i'm having a hard time finding a case for this and i hate not having a case...

So I've emailed SENA Cases about their wonderful line of leather products for smartphones & Spigen about their "Crumena" case series -- both of which expressed slightly less than interested responses.
Here's the response I received from SENA :

I use an HTC pouch designed for the One X and some of the other recent HTC phones:
http://www.htcaccessories.com.au/PO_S650.aspx
Cost me about $10 off eBay... I have been using these pouches since I had a HTC Desire. Got the above case for my Galaxy Nexus, and to my surprise it fit the Nexus 5 quite nicely (it was always a bit big on the Galaxy Nexus).
It is a tight fit, but I have an older version of the same case so I know it stretches. The width is fine, but the height is an exact fit, there's no slack at the top end so if you drop it on the exposed side, it won't be well protected.
I'll put photos if anyone is interested...
where could one get this case in canada without paying 2 much for shipping. Not willing to pay the same or more then the case for shipping...

Media Devil Artisan leather pouch - wow
I just got the Media Devil Artisan leather pouch today am I'm totally impressed with the quality for the price... It shipped rather quickly for something coming from jolly old England to Minnesota... I got the black w/black stitching. I'd probably order a second one if I could get it in natural brown leather. I guess I won't be stalking Sena's site anymore waiting for their vapor sleeve.... :laugh:

I have a Dodo Durables for a HTC One sleeve and it will work with the Nexus 5 fine but it's a somewhat tight fit. It will sometimes trigger the power button when inserting/removing the phone. I wish they offered an all leather option - the canvas gets a little floppy with use - probably not as much of an issue when you're using it with the phone it's intended for.
I want something as close to the iPad Smart Case as possible: super-thin, able to function as a stand, but with the auto-wake functionality. Any suggestions?
Poetic Slimline is your best bet.
Sent from Tapatalk, using Tapatalk
I am also using the Poetic Slimline. Very happy with it. Auto-wake, miracast with PTV3000 and wireless charging with Lugulake all work properly when using this case.
This is what I use. Found the folding too stiff on the poetic. This is just like my smart Cover was on the iPad mini (except it has a back cover)

Thanks for the suggestions. Tough call between the Moko and Poetic. I ordered the Poetic. I figure that when it gets a bit ratty I'll get the Moko.
I really like the Moko so far.

I bought the Nillkin V Series because it was the sleekest case I could find. It fulfills the two conditions in the thread title, but the stand function seems a bit unstable.
I take that thing everywhere and it's been holding up quite well.
People have been talking about the Mofi case lately, but it's only available in green, orange, brown and teal (which Mofi laughingly calls blue).
The brown version is only available on ebay.
The new cases by Seido are also worth a look -- though if you want one, you might want to wait for a sale.
My roocase slim works great. Origami version I think it's called. 15$

MoKo case and I'm very pleased
I got the MoKo when it first came out, shortly after I got the N7. I've been very happy with it, the tablet is held firmly, but can be removed without a lot of force. I have another very similar case that holds the tablet so tight that I'm concerned when I try to remove it (I've decided to use that one for a car mount system I'm building as I know there's no chance it will fall out!) The smart on/off works great and the cover stays closed with magnets also. It took me a little while to get the bend lines to flex properly so that the stand functions worked, but after a few days it has been no problem. It still looks new after 4 months, no frayed edges, it goes with me everywhere, everyday. It's got to be one of the best cases I've ever had (no I don't work for the company, nor do any friends or relatives).

Brown is normally a low-key color, but Mofi outlines it in white, which makes it look garish.
I liked the orange case best myself but wish the surrounding plastic were black.
Still, the few people who own both the MoKo and Mofi cases and post here have claimed the Mofi is noticeably better made.
How are the magnets on your MoKo -- does the cover stay closed if you hold it upside down? Does the stand stay in place? I've read good things about those features.
Google released their official case yesterday on play store.

Just purchased and "put on" the rooCASE Origami Slimshell. It's got a polycarbonate shell back and a light flap (which turns on/off the unit) which can be "folded" to support the unit in landscape or portrait mode. I have a Nexus 7 (2012) I'm about to sell on which I used both the Speck Fitfolio and an Incipio unir. I preferred the Speck because of its clasp, but I understand that the Speck version for the Nexus FHD 2013 doesn't have the magnet for on/off ability.
If you want slim, take a look at the rooCASE. With the case on the unit is still just about a half inch thick.

I have a Roocase Origami.
The magnets on that one are so bad that the screen shuts off when the cover is folded back.

Not happening on mine. I think there are two different cases called "Origami." Mine is the SlimShell. I did have issues with the unit turning off from the magnets on the Speck case on my 2012 Nexus.

The magnet is very good but the stand is a bit stiff even after using it for months and months on end so it doesn't always stay in but that's a minor inconvenience, but for the most part it works fine even when the stand comes out it still tends to stay in the same spot so I'm not really disappointed.

What's odd about the Play Store's specs for the black, gray/red, white/red and blue/red Nexus 7 2013 cases is that no mention is made of the kinds of materials used or whether there are magnets. What's odd about the ad copy is that no mention is made of features other than the fit's being exact.
I wouldn't want to spend $50 on a case for a $270 device -- even a white 32GB N7 (2013) -- but I'd be especially reticent not knowing if the interior was real or synthetic leather or the exterior, real fabric -- let alone whether the cover would actually stay closed.

The Google cover has no magnets anywhere. The gray is a denim-like fabric and the other two felt like synthetic leather to me. All the colors smell horrible.
Don't buy the official Google case.
I've owned 2 first Gen N7s and the Moko has been by far my favorite case - has anyone used both on the Gen 2 and can offer any opinions?

MoKo case has been excellent both function AND value
I use MoKo for Nexus 7 (2013), iPad mini, and iPad Air. It has been outstanding for ALL tablets in a variety of environments. It fits snugly, all ports and holes line up nice and square. Wireless charging perfect. The price <$20 incl. shipping.. (The Apple Air case is almost $90, MoKo gets the job done for under $20 shipping incl. I'd buy a MoKo in a heartbeat for my HP TouchPad if I could locate one. I have about half a dozen other cases for different usages, but the MoKo is on %90 of the time. GOOD STUFF!
