Hyperion Rugged Nexus 5 Cases - Nexus 5 Accessories

Found these today:
http://nexus5accessories.com/hyperion-explorer-nexus-5-rugged-cases/
They look kind of cheap, but does anyone know what that hole on the back could be for?

That's the kickstand.
Edit: Oh, you mean the hole at the bottom. I have no idea then ^^.

Dunno but I'd guess maybe a hole for antennas or signal? Sounds reasonable..

Maybe it's like a Formula 1 airduct hole for extra cooling

Looks like a neat and safe case. I have a kickstand on my GN case and its pretty useful.

Maybe it's over the small little LG logo near the bottom of the phone?

Same case, but a lot more expensive? That K logo must cost a lot

Likely to show off the LG logo, i have one of the cheap "s-wave" tpu cases from ebay and it has the same thing.
Edit: Also the Hyperion is on sale for $1.99 plus shipping at amazon right now..unfortunately without enough posts I cant link to it.

Seems like a lot of this same design...if you prefer no hole - CruiserLite has one:
http://www.amazon.com/Cruzerlite-Sp...qid=1384213825&sr=8-28&keywords=nexus+5+cases
or if you prefer the exact same case in a different brand (hole-less) Armourdillo has you covered:
http://www.mobilefun.com/41628-armourdillo-hybrid-protective-case-for-google-nexus-5---black.htm

Please look around before buying cases. The case that Hyperion is selliong is nothing more than a generic case that can be purchased for $4. Every product link that been posted in this thread is more than 3x the price if you look harder. Save yourself some money. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Future-armor...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item565d8b65c1

Interested in this one...
I want to see the reviews of this roll in. Getting my XOOM tomorrow, I will need something like this. but for 50 bills it needs to be perfect.
I actually bought one from him on eBay. By far worth the money. Doesn't stretch out or anything. I'm very happy with it.
Even though I have a screen protector, I wanted something that would cover the front, and this has two small magnets that keep it closed.
Again, worth it.
great find. ordering now.
Case discussion...
A few folks over on the Motorola Owner's Forums Xoom discussions are liking the KeviKev case... and a few others. It may be worth your while to go check out those threads too before buying!
Does it keep a good grip does the xoom haze a chance to fall out? Port for charging while closed?

From the pics it does look like there is a cutout for the front camera(I noticed they updated the pics of it)
about the cutouts for the ports. There are only a couple folio cases on the market that have the cutouts for the ports. I've seen videos of people using an exacto knife to cut out a hole for the ports.. Let's just say I'd much rather do that to a case that cost 15 bucks then one that's 50 hahah
I just ordered the navitech case until there is more of a selection to choose from. This one is by far my favorite but really cant think about spending $129 on a case even if it's the best looking one at this point

It does look better than the images they have on the site, that's for sure. How do you like it? Does it fit it well? How much bulk does it add?

Can you post pics of it folded over flat (not propped up)? I'm interested in how thick it is when open and top cover folded back.

Best galaxy note case with integrated stand?

I've seen a few cases - even a clear transparent TPU one - with integrated pull out kick stands for the Note. Any views on which is best?
I'd post some here but being a newbie xda won't let me post links.
I was thinking about the zenus slider kickstand case in white but it look like it adds some bulk
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I don't think there's "best case" in this case...it actually depends on individual...
There're lots of case with stand/kick stand and the best way to look for it...is Ebay.
I'm currently using this:
http://cgi.ebay.com.my/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270935540723&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:MY:1123
Althou it's a bit bulkier, but it's all round protection which also cover the audio jack & microusb port. It can stand vertically and even horizontally. I feel secured when I'm holding it and playing games with it, feels like holding a PSP...LOL
Just my 2 cents...

If you just want a case with stand to watch your videos at home, instead of propping your phone up against a coffee mug etc., then this case is ideal.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Combo-Cas...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item84bb134430
Just received mine today & was surprised how good it is, especially at the price. All the cut-outs etc., are perfect. Just a word of advice, when fitting your phone in the case fit the top end in first, the plastic is stiffer at the top, then the bottom just clips on easily. Will be purchasing another as a spare.
Update.
Sorry guys. Seller has now upped the price from £1.99 to £3.99. Still a good deal though.
Not got this case, but it looks nicer than the other case with stand that you see on ebay. Might order one, but looks like it will come over on the slow boat....

Leather case for galaxy S3

They're expensive, but Vaja has one small leather case out already, and I'm sure they'll design more with the relative similarity between carrier devices, and the number of buyers across the world.
The first one they've come up with is $70, which sounds really high, but I can tell you from experience that these things are inSANEly well-made. They're probably hand-stitched by one 85 year-old lady in Venezuela, but their cases are awesome.

I can't post URLs yet, but I got a leather carrying case on Amazon for about $6.
I got this one. I love it because vertical position is a must and also the clip can rotate. It does leave some black marks on the back of the phone but nothing is perfect
The $5 & $10 cases on ebay /amazon are not real leather.
I am also interested in some real leather options. A search showed "hoco" as an option, they look pretty slim too.

I've had an Easecase (a different model from the one the OP ordered - I think mine is a B1) for my HD2, S2 and now S3. They're really well made, fit perfectly and you get a choice of leather, lining colour, closure system etc, I do look at other ones available but in the end I always end up getting their stuff

Seconded! I don't have one for my S3 (yet), but I've been considering the Grip or the Pouch they have on their site.
I've bought their cases for past phones and not only do they look great, but they're very durable. The price-point is a little painful, but well-worth it in my book.
Might as well ask this here. But do any of you guys (yea guys on this one) carry around a wallet case? I was gonna get a SGP Valentinus black for my SGS3 but I got to thinking, maybe it seems a little feminine. I wanted one cuz it would mean for me to not carry a wallet around. I wanted either the Valentinus or the Argos. What you guys think

You can use Capdase leather case. Maybe some of them got wallet design. But recently, they use a frame to hold the phone and neglect those wallet layer. Sigh........

Random Order Case and Holster Combo for Galaxy S III Review

I am having trouble adding the Youtube video
Click Here
I've been looking at this case for the past week and have been on the fence about ordering it. Thanks for the review, it looks really good.
Are the sides of the case sturdy or flimsy? By that I mean the part of the case that touches the sides of the screen. I've seen a lot of tpu cases where the sides are really soft and flimsy.... Pet peeve of mine. I like them to be sturdy.
I hope I'm describing that we'll enough for you to know what I'm talking about.
Thanks!

Based onthe video this seems to be the same as the Technocel HybriGel Cover with Holster for Samsung Galaxy S III that's on Amazon and elsewhere. And yes, it shows that it's available in white.
I just looked at the case at a Sprint store. It's actually nicer looking in person than it is in the vid. The case fits into the holster VERY tightly. I passed on it for now though.
It is very sturdy. It is so sturdy that you have to be careful when removing it. It pulls off the battery cover sometimes. I hope this helps
It isn't available on line. but there is a link to a similar case in a post above. Otherwise check out the sprint stores.

Paid too much for this case in store at sprint on the original launch date.
It is a very sturdy and well made case. the sides are not flimsy by any means. The buttons are covered and while this makes the power button really stiff, it offers great protection for a low profile case. Most of the bulk added is around the edge.
I paid 30.00 for a case that sells for 15 on amazon, But it really is worth the buy.
Thanks for the reply, I'm going to order one from amazon.

Well otterbox is $50 so I guess $54 is not much more. I just rather buy something that feels like its not going to break if I cough to hard. Lol
If they come up on Amazon for around $30-40 ill grab one.
I wish they had some more pictures though... From the ones on the Site it looks to be more of a otterbox commuter style case ($34) but with a kickstand and belt clip.

I was about to make a similar post so I might as well post my questions here:
is there anything similar to the quick cover, that doesn't cost a kidney, and is available easily across Europe (suggested alternatives above aren't unfortunately) ?
I'm searching for something that doesn't add much bulk and would cost between 10 to 25 €...
Thanks !
Is there any wallet style case that have all around the protection like in the Diztronic TPU matte black. I don't like about the holes bottom there and in sides.. I want case without any holes, more protection!
