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.

There isn't one and it is highly unlikely that there will be.
Ballistic makes a nice case for it.

I got it right off, and love having it. Easier to grip the phone, and you have the four ball corners for impacts (I drop my phone a lot )
Good accessory to have
Yeah, I've had this for a few months, it is a good case, what I don't like is its attraction to hair/fuzz/dust/pocket lint.

How much thicker & wider does the Ballistic case make the phone?
It's fairly significant.

Mine was $19.99 + 4$ shipping off eBay, "seller refurbished", just comes in generic packaging I think.
Do the ballistic cases fit the thicker profile when using an extended capacity battery?
No, it wouldn't, because the IRS made for the phone without ABC extended battery, and if the extended battery is double the size like I've heard, than it won't.

Still waiting for my ballistic case from ebay...what take you so long?
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

Currently I have Atrix with Incipio Feather case, I do like the case, but I had two of them crack by the corner. Anything similar for Galaxy S III but little stronger?

doesn't the aluminum bottom scratch?
The one I have doesn't have the aluminum. Just the silicone with the plastic outter shell.
Yeah, that is the one that I am most interested in.
I picked up a Platinum Series Case and Holster. I probably won't use the holster but I like the case and it doesn't add a huge amount of bulkiness to the phone.
Rearth Ringke Slim is the best.
my favorite by far, it was mentioned before:

If you like slim cases then look for the SGP Modello series. Unlike the ringke (which I have and enjoy a lot), it covers all sides of the device with a very slim profile. It also doesn't affect full screen protectors.

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.

I used to have a feather case for my GNex that wrapped top to bottom so that the sides were clean. The case wouldn't interfere with side swiping nor make the phone feel wider when you grab it. I haven't been able to find such a case yet. Even the thin cases still bulk up the sides. Does anybody know of a case like this for the N5?

i dont think there are any. i have the rearth slim one, spigen slim and another super slim one from ebay but i use none of them.
i've just been using my phone without a case. i ordered a matte black skin.
i dont like how the slim cases make the phone feel wider and a lil heavier either. if i drop it and scratch it i'll put one of the cases. thats what i did with my old s4. till then, i'll keep it naked.
That was probably just a one off.
The same thing happened with sunglasses... before realizing that going around the sides was a much better idea!!
