not shipping until the 16th, and no amazon prime but looks like a very nice case and 9 colors options.
Looks like it might be a little nicer than the poetic, and at least looks like some better color options.
The black and "red" looks pink. :c

yeah a lot of the two tones are the wrong colors. hopefully it's just wrong images. i'm either going to get the standard black or blue though so i'm good.
I'm digging the green and yellow

Curious to see how a bumper will work with a phone with a curved back...
Interested to see how you guys feel about them. Please review when you get them.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Also very interested in what this looks/feels once someone has their hands on it. I'm leaning on this or a Cruzerlite TPU.
I have the Nexus 4 version and I like it a lot. I particularly like the protruding buttons that are easy to press, this is by far my favorite thing about this bumper. The grip is very comfortable due to the textured TPU material in the bottom. It doesn't secure the phone very tightly due to the plastic frames being flexible, but it is somewhat snuggly, I dropped the phone twice and it stayed in. I wouldn't trust a drop higher than 6ft+ though.
Like the oem Nexus 4 bumper, it have a weak spot under the USB port that can break in two, but mine is still fine, I think it would only happen if you constantly remove the phone many times in a day, which I don't do. I don't know how it's going to be with the Nexus 5, but with the Nexus 4 it doesn't interfere or lift the screen protector on the edges.
I use it with the XtremeGuard skin (or tempered glass), together making a very affordable but good looking combination, closest to naked but with reasonable protection. For $10 it's a very good purchase.
Hey nice find! I think Im going to order one, the poetic one looked too cheap, and I think these are the only 2 bumpers available.
Geez, I'm going to have about 5 cases soon, then probably still order the official case when its available...
Phone doesn't even ship till Nov 22 too...
doesn't ship to canada! someone buy me an extra white one please! thanks

So I remember when i had my first ipod touch years ago i had this clear see through hard case and i loved it. It didnt really add that much bulk and it felt nicely in the hand. Im getting the white gs3 and i really dont want to take anything away from the look and feel and I want at least some protection. I was wondering if there was any kind of clear hard case out for this phone right now?
http://www.amazon.com/Cimo-S-Line-F...=1339952937&sr=1-5&keywords=galaxy+s+III+case
I was looking at this case but im not sure on how hard it is or if it was like one of those flimsy silicone cases.
there are tons of them here - http://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_nkw=...+tridea&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

I cant wait to rock it with my galaxy nexus when it gets shipped!
The reason i went with the iluv translucent case over a regular clear hard case was because after the back of that clear case gets scratched up from setting it down on things, it is going to start looking like crap. all the case nice and clear with beat up scratch marks on the contact points. The translucent will no doubt get scratched also, but IMO will be less obvious.

They have them in different colors as well, just have to search around. I saw green, white, black, red, and blue so far.
Edit: price went up to $4.95

Doesn't look like a bad deal, but I have always wondered why people boast their phone is 0.1mm slimmer and then put a huge case like this on their phone
I personally prefer to take care when handling my phone and I've never even dropped one.

Got two of the cases. Atthat price it was worth the gamble. It is a nice case for the price, but doesnt suit my needs. The back and corner protection is good, but the protection for the front is not enough for me. The rubber lip is not deep or sturdy enough form me. If dropped touch screen facing down, I dont think of will survive. But, if you dont have butter fingers or A rampaging 2 year old, i think this price is right!

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.

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.

I think its a bit too expensive for me. I hardly drop my phone and take very good care of it. But from the reviews online, its a well constructed case with a premium feel. So if budget isn't an issue, you can get that. And it does offer decent drop protection.
I am ordering the Tudia Wav Hybrid. The video sold me. Check out the drop test:

I just got mine in tonight. Will give you feedback in a day or so..
What I read was that the clear coat doesn't last as long and starts to peel...hopefully that doesn't happened...
I ordered the black one and I heard that the color ones is harder to see the peels.
What I like so far is that being that is is official..The case fits so perfectly without messing up my tempered glass screen protector; using iloome flex at the moment, MIME version is on the way

It's pretty awful, the non-black ones stain just from the color of your pockets and the coating rubs off of the black case.
Would not buy again.

This is what some people have been seeing with their Nexus 5 bumper cases.

The finish is peeling, and they have staining and discoloration.
There are better cases out there for cheaper. The only thing this one had going for it was the Nexus branding on it, but if the quality is crap there's no point.
just got bored surfing the web and thought i would see if speck made nexus 5 cases yet. and i guess i lucked out !!!!
http://www.speckproducts.com/google...ses-and-covers/candyshell-for-lg-nexus-5.html
downfall is they are 35 bucks. i was hoping for $25. well if anyone gets one post up what you think of it. i want to know if these have any issues with the power button not having any click feel to it and or easy to press by accident
expensive !!
they are over priced ..

Speck always over charges for their cases. They cater to the rich stupid iPhone people. And I agree the case colors they choose suck. I wanted a plain black one.

This case is great for side and corner impacts, but the small lip hinders its face flat resistance.
My friend has this case on his sgs3, and I saw his phone drop onto our tile office floor and crack the screen, while in the case!
The floor did have a slightly raised edge, due to it being tile, but nothing a good case shouldn't have protected against.

^ sorry if my post seemed discouraging. I can only speak for the experiences I've seen with this case in an s3, which is 2 years old.
If the lip is a decent height, things should be fine if it falls facewards. Back and sides should be fine because of the thick plastic/rubber the case is made from. Let us k know how it fists!
