How is it they have some the colors in stock when even the Otterbox website says they're not released?

That's what I was wondering, if these are real or not..
I'm relatively new to case shopping (the S3 is only the 2nd smart phone i've owned), so I don't know how common that happens or not

The pics on the site look real. They also did a video review of the case with drop test....there was a pic of what looked to be genuine otterbox packaging. Hoping it's the real deal....they see to be a legit site. When I ordered mine today they had no stock of the blue, purple or green....only a crapload of black and 13 (make that 12 after my order lol) of the glacier.

Anyone bought from them before? Or found some useful reviews of the site? Only found a bunch of youtube videos by them.
I've ordered a case from Noreve already, but had an Otterbox on my HD2 and the protection was great... especially when you're drunk and likely to drop your phone :laugh:

Ok I bought myself one. Looks like it will be a cool case especially since you can use the holster as a kick stand.

That was a selling point for me as well. I love my ballistic sg maxx, particularly due to the less bulky holster....so it will probably be my go 2 when leaving the house. When hanging at the house I will make good use of the kickstand feature on the otter holster. My only wish would be that it could be used in portrait mode. I had an otter on my last phone and NEVER knew it had a kickstand until a few days ago. :banghead:

Does this have a belt clip (deal breaker for me)? Also, how is the screen protector? Do you have to use it? Thanks.

Yes, it comes with a belt clip. It's a separate holster that stays on your belt and the phone clips into it. It can also be used as a kickstand if you take it off your belt and 'lock' the clip open.
If it's anything like the HD2 Otterbox the screen protector is good, but mine didn't hold up well to repeatedly removing the phone from the case, it developed blotchy parts where it was sticking right to the screen and other parts weren't. Eventually I removed the screen protector (it's not designed to be removable, so you can't put it back in if you do remove it).

dang. That is a good deal. I bought a Glacier one from Amazon yesterday for $35 I think. Im kind of nervous if the case is legit though...
This is the one I bought, anyone buy from "ITX Wireless" before?
NEVERMIND: I cant post links yet, but seller is ITX Wireless on Amazon, hopefully its real.

Thanks OP for the link! Just bought myself the Glacier to go along with my white SGS3.

Bought! Thanks, nice deal. I just happened to break my case today unfortunately...so this worked out well. Went with Glacier.

Thanks for posting this excellent deal. I've used Smartphonepedia.com recently. I ordered my Galaxy S3 Body Glover tpu case from them. It arrived extremely fast and if the case is knockoff, I honestly couldn't tell. It came in retail packaging and the product shows no signs of being 'cheap' or 'knockoff'.
I definitely did not hesitate on taking advantage of this deal. I ordered the glacier colored case and even though it's on back order, i'm perfectly fine with waiting considering the cost savings and besides my Body Glove case from this company is holding me over just fine. Thanks for this find again!

For the money it's not that bad. Mine is well made and the smell went away after a few days. I have two Roocases....the slim folio and the dual view.

Portrait view mode fails. I tired to get mine to work properly in portrait view and it would not work. It kept slipping down.

Too cheap, bad made, bad leather imitation, too thick, device doesn't fit well, stupid "addons" such as sd-card holders (for the card-less device!), ugly pen/stylus. And (as I've said) it smells like a "cancer greeting from China" - awful!

It was/is a decent cheap $3.00 case that I could get quickly. Serves the purpose until I convince myself to get ta Portenzo case.

I actually just got my case in the mail and I'm pretty happy with it! It does smell funny and the camera hole doesn't match up with the camera perfectly but for three bucks I'll live with it. I also add two pieces of velcro so I can have it in portrait mode without sliding.

I agree that its not a bad case for $3. Good first case while waiting for other better ones to come out, the smell also does go away.

Asus premium case available

Found a vendor on amazon selling the white version.

Here is the same in black:
http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Officia...05&sr=8-12&keywords=asus+nexus+fhd+7+official
So I've purchased a black one and will be doing a review of it when i get it later this week. It does not appear to have the magnetic auto wake function, as stated before by others do to the patent being held by another company.

For an offical case it's not pricey. Take the flip cover for the note 8. It's 50 dollars. Every offical case out there is double what the aftermarket ones are. If not more. I'm buying because it's the offical case so I'm already expecting a premium.

I mean come on Asus!!! for a $40 case you couldn't add a piece of magnet!!!
This case and the travel case are both just big fails. Although I don't mind getting ripped off on OIM cases but at least I want to get a "premium" case.

You rock
Loved this case for the N4 gonna love it for the N5 I hope

I like that this case shows the nexus logo on the back of the phone.

I had this with my N4 but the buttons were too hard to press, then I sold my N4 and didn't keep up with the news, did they fix it?

Hopefully this one doesn't come with a billion weld/scorch marks.

Just wanted to mention that I ordered this yesterday. Even though the listing states in stock October 31st, I got a shipping confirmation today from Amazon.

Ordered yesterday too... Even if I still not decide about N5, shipping in Italy between 21-23 nov

This is the reason why I haven't ordered it just yet, going to wait and see the whole thing maybe in a video review before making the purchase, can't have my speakers covered.

Ermm.. I purchased this assuming it wouldn't ship until the Nexus 5 actually came out... It shipped out on Friday??? lmao... I hope they got the dimensions correct...

I think for Rearth, they just print/generate the shipping label in advance so it's ready to go out once the final product is done. I recall that's what happened with their Nexus 4 cases. But if the tracking number actually shows something is moving, then awesome!

I hope you're correct that they just generated the shipping label. I'd feel better if the case came after the phone was announced.

Replica official Nexus 4 Bumper for Nexus 5

I found this on Amazon, it's a Nexus 5 bumper, that's a replica of the official Nexus 4 bumper:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JBU27WO
Has anyone here tried this case yet?

If it wasn't $23 I would go for it. That's too expensive for a bumper.

Looks awesome. I would certainly buy it, but since its a replica, its not worth the $20 to produce hence it wont last as long as I would like it to.

Overprice. Another month and it gonna be around $10

Its all over aliexpress for much cheaper. Like $3.50 to $15 depending on the seller and how many you buy. There do seem to be different kinds of bumpers on there for the nexus 5, and the nexus 4 clone is the more expensive one.

Looks like the price has gone down to $12.99 before shipping now. Was going to order one from Aliexpress, but maybe I'll get this one now.

The $3.50 one is a different style bumper. The Nexus 4 lookalike bumper is around $11-13.

I don't think replicas are worth being over $10 before shipping. With it being a bumper and not a case, even more so.
For me, $8 - $9 with shipping included is probably the highest I'd go.

I got this in the mail from the amazon seller today. I'm very impressed with it. The buttons feel great and the texture on the rubbery parts is very grippy.
