So what do you guys think? Has anyone seen one yet? I know its a bit pricey, but i really liked the bumper on the N4 and think google/lg nailed it. I am considering buying this one, but the black is not available. Does anyone know if it just sold out really quickly or if only the gray was available at launch?

yeah i thought that was strange too, as the n4 bumper was actually a bumper and this is clearly a full case.
I think they are over priced personally.

Shows £24.99 and "coming soon" in the UK. FFS Google why can't you get the accessories to us in good time. The UK didn't even get the wireless charge dock in the end.
Can someone confirm this is actually available to buy in the US?
I wasnt a huge fan of the oem bumper for the n4, only due to the fact that it left part of the metal ring visible on the top and bottom of the front of the phone. It didn't quite look like it fit correctly.
I did however love the poetic bumper, it fit perfectly, it was a bit thinner, and matched the phone almost as if there was no case at all.
Amazon already has the poetic up for pre order and shipping date of November 19 I believe. I've got one on order, and will post pictures when it arrives.

I really like the look of the official cases especially with the nexus logo intact. I'm part of the minority and like the thinnest case possible like the rearth slim or spigen ultra fit. This official case looks like a nice compromise between the "super thin barely any protection" cases and the thicker "add too much bulk more protective" cases. Definitely pricey though.
I've had the spigen neo and was very disappointed. El cheapo imo. Rearth Ringke has been my favorite cases so far

No way I would buy that.
The image for the black bumper uses a GNex and does not really show anything about the bumper.
The image for the white bumper uses a Nexus 5 render without the bumper on it.
The description says it is for all carriers, including Verizon, on which the N5 does not work.
It would have been great to get an actual bumper case like the Nexus 4 had but I think I'll still get the official "bumper" for the Nexus 5. I'm a sucker for OEM fit and finish as well as I like how it still displays the NEXUS logo on the back.
The price is ridiculous though. I hope the carriers offer it in store when they launch the phone so I don't have to get ripped off with shipping as well.

I think it's difficult to make a true bumper for the Nexus 5 because the back is curved. Nexus 4, iPhone... Those are phones with flat backs. Regardless, I think the case looks nice, but is a bit pricy.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
the official "bumper" case is expensive. but i'm guessing the "nexus" branding is what makes it worth it to a lot of people.
if you cover up your phone with any other case it just looks like any other phone and not like a beastly nexus. but now your vanity can be satisfied with a case that clearly states for all to see... NEXUS.

wished google made official one like that but in RED!
The official bumper looks quite appealing, and it looks like it extends past the camera. My only concern is the buttons. In-house cases that the phone company comes out with are notorious for having hard button covers. Guess we'll just wait for video reviews on that.

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.

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.

Check out the Watson Folio cases by Incipio. Hopefully they'll roll one out.
Tuff-luv made a nice looking brown leather case for the Nexus 4, so hopefully they'll do the same here.
And maybe Spigen will do a "Slim Wallet" design for the Nexus 5.

I also considered the Ringke Delight/Discover from Amazon - again, it wouldn't be delivered before I travel.

It does have 3 5* reviews though.... Shame it is in the UK and not in the US. Oh well, the one I bought will be here on Tuesday.
What I do minimize the wear and tear on flip/wallet cases is to use voice announce and shake call. No need to open the case as often.
I have the ringke nexus 4 case... Not real leather and decayed badly in less than 12 months... Tempted to buy it again, remove the plastic holder, find a leather wallet and make my own.
How hard is it for these guys to make brackets and simply stick them on a genuine leather wallet?
Has anyone found a wallet case that doesn't have the flip/cover? I've been searching for one similar to an iphone case and it just seems that case makers aren't making them non-iphones

Cost....
People are usually happy buying $10-$15 cases. Real leather in a case would shoot the price up north of $30 and there just aren't a lot of buyers at that price range (relatively speaking).
As to other cases, I did get a reply from Zenus (http://izenus.com/) and they are planning a Nexus 5 case for early December.

That kinda sucks. Looked like a decent over.
I am looking for a case like the official bumper case.
Is there anything like that? I want something soft since it obviously offers the most protection during a drop. But the only one I know so far is that Cruzerlite Bugdroid, but that pattern on the back makes it look so cheap, doesn't work with the phone at all. I'd just like something minimalistic like the phone. The official one is great but since it's rather expensive I'm looking for alternatives.
Spigen Neo Hybrid. Looks great and feels good in my hand.
Stay away from the Spigen Silent Armor though. That one has many problems with the power button alignment
We're just gonna have to wait like we did with the Nexus 4 bumper replicas.

I have tried the Spigen Neo Hybrid in Champagne Gold. It looks really fantastic, the protection is very solid. It just added a bit too much bulk for my taste and I will receive the bumper case next week to compare it with.
Thanks for the infos on the Spigen ones! I am looking for something more simple though. They feel so overly designed to me, I really would like something completely minimalistic, just like the original case.

I don't know anything about the Nexus 4, so you are saying there will be clones of the official case?

Will review this once I get my hands on it
I have it. Nothing much to review really, it's just your usual generic TPU case.
If you insist on one, a redditor posted this Orzly TPU case review (which I'm almost sure is the same one really, just with a higher price tag):
On a personal note - I quite like it. Fits the device well with ports for everything. Pressing the volume/power button can be a tad harder, but nothing major really. Is quite "grippy"/rough on the back. I also have a tempered glass screen protector (by Orzly) and it seems to cover that up too with almost no buffer left (with less of a "bump"', obviously, between the screen and the top of the case).
In any case, you really can't go wrong with a dollar. You'll surely find something better down the line in a month or so (see the Diztonic case that's coming), but this is good, even if you'll only use it until a better one comes out.

When ordering my device from AliExpress I ordered the TPU case bundled with it, for exactly the reason I mentioned previously - so I have something up until a better case comes along.
I ordered it to the UK, but I'm sure that if you have Amazon or eBay locally you can find a seller that can ship that to quite fast.

But again, you can't go wrong with a dollar, I mean, you probably paid more to get to work today than on this case, so even if you served you protection for a couple of hours it's still worth it, time/money-wise.

I guess I'll have to. I hate letting my phone go naked for even 2 hours, I may just keep it in the box until I get my hands on the diztronic.
$10 isn't that much considering I spend almost that much on a Chipotle burrito for lunch...

yeah I saw that, looks really nice.
I ordered the $1 TPU just in case too, never hurts to have too many.
Won't get here for 3 weeks, but it's just a dollar...
I saw these tempered glass screenies I think I'll get too (just use some $1 ones till these come in)

3 of them for only $13 shipped is pretty amazing. I wonder if they are any different in quality than the $20 ones, I mean tempered glass is tempered glass, right?

Some are thinner, some have curved sides, and some have better oleophobic coatings.

Does that really matter in everyday usage?

thinness? not really, curved edges? yes, they feel better and are less likely to chip
Is there a Diztronic supplier in the UK?
Gonna get this in the meantime I think http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360965245307 - not 99p but cheap enough until I find something better

Thanks for the heads up on this, been looking for a UK supplier to get a cheap case quickly whilst I wait for my pelosi case to be shipped from China.

So, I initially was not going to rock a case (I haven't used cases or screen protectors in years). However, after dropping my LG G3 just right a few weeks ago and cracking the screen (I have since fixed it), etc. and because I made the mistake and ordered a black leather H815 international unit on Amazon instead of the white ceramic one I wanted...I need to get a case.
I may end up buying a white ceramic back on EBay for $70 later on.
However, regardless of my phones cover, I am interested in the Spigen cases. Especially the Ultra Hybrid...is it super smooth or is it somewhat grippy? Will the phone be slick in my hand?
I'm also looking at the Thin Fit case.
My only comment with Spigen is NEVER buy anything you may make a warranty claim on from anywhere but Spigen or their Amazon store. They are very much counterfeited. I bought a Silm Armor for my S4 when it had been out less than 2 weeks and got a fake. And yes there is a huge difference in quality. Even if you do get a legit one from somewhere else all warranty claims will have to be handled through that somewhere else.

Thanks. I was planning to get it directly off their site. It's not expensive enough for me to worry about trying to source a cheaper alternative.

LOL the thing is when I ordered mine for my S4 the counterfeits were in the market before the authentic ones! It's amazing how fast the fakes can be made likely from stolen images of prototypes.
I highly recommend their cases and have used them for my Samsung S4, LG G2, LG G3, and will soon get one for my LG G4. I buy them on Amazon. They are the real deal (as long as you don't get them off the marketplace) with full warranty and their a bit cheaper than spigen's site.
I had a a NEO-Hybrid case for my GS4 break at the charging port not long after I bought it. I bought it directly from Spigen. Despite that, and having the receipt, they still would not honor the warranty. I ended up buying a knockoff from eBay that's held up to this day. I'll never buy Spigen again.
That's weird. I was upset that they sent me the Korean G3 case with the hole for the antenna (which was not listed on the amazon site). I wasn't happy with that since the hole only applies to the Korean version (small marketshare compared to the world). They sent me the regular version sans hole for free and didn't even ask me to return the original. I've never had any problems with their customer service. I'm very big on customer service and I'll leave you in a minute if I get poor service from a company.
I just got the slim "case", more like a back cover. It will protect against scratches, but not drops.

I tried that one for the G3 last year. I wanted more protection, but liked the slimness.
I got the slim armor as well as the neo hybrid for my g4 both cases are great
To those who have spigen cases, do you have a G4 with leather or plastic backs? I'm trying to figure out which Spigen cases are compatible with the leather back covers.
Thanks

It doesn't matter. All of those cases fit the leather back.

I have a spigen neo hybrid and it fits my black leather Sprint version but man is it tough getting it off. Not very convenient for battery swapping.

Haha. True but there is a point where it's a little to secure. I actually popped the battery cover off trying to get the case off. That's a little tight.

Hmm interesting that you mention that. I have the same response with my Ringke Fusion case. The only thing I worry about it is that there's not a lot of space for heat to travel, so the phone gets a little warm.

FedEx just dropped off my Verus case that is supposed to be leather compatible. I guess we will see.
I have the gold slim armor its little to slim for me at the moment i have a poetic revolution on ( http://www.poeticcases.com/revolution-38), this is a beast of a case probably capable of being used as a weapon in the event of the zombie apocalypse and your phone would not feel it

Even when Amazon lists them as non compatible?
