I just received one of these in black this week. It's really slick. It says optimus G on the front and inside (embossed), and LG on the back. It takes a few days for the flap to loosen up. I have the folio case, the bumper case, and the diztronic case, and I prefer this one overall. It feels really small in the hand and it's nice that you can talk on the phone through the cover - keeps the screen clean.
Can we get some good pictures to check out out. All the ones online are the same and you can't see much detail.
Also, it is magnetic?

Yea ill definitely take some pictures of the phone with the case on it. I'll probably make a video of it in action too. That's what I had looked for but couldn't find any.

My wife and I have the same folio case and it is very nice. It's manufactured by LG so the fit is perfect, although it has no magnetic or velcro fastener for the folding front cover. Also, the front cover has no opening for the notification light.
Definitely want this. Need more pictures lol

For anyone concerned, the Bessi case on eBay is quite nice. Received it a few days ago and it is great.

I bought a mercury diary case from ebay. Shipped from korea so it took time. Impressed by the build quality for the price. $10~
Has two card slots, a money pouch, a lanyard hole, and magnetic clasp

Absolutely love these Diztronic cases. For such a cheap case their attention to detail is spot on and all cutouts are cut precisely. Going to be using this case for a while since Spigen support refuses to contact me back due to an issue with my Slim Armor case.
Let me know if you have any questions about the case!
You can order it here: http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Mat...=1384301727&sr=8-1&keywords=diztronic+nexus+5
Took 4 days for me to receive it after I ordered it.

Best case yet! Its the only case that still feels like there's no case. Follows the curves of the phone which we bought the phone for. So glad I got one. My search, has ended.

I don't like how it is raised up on either side of the screen. Looks bad IMO.

You must not have many cases.
However, I heard they are changing the mold, I might wait a week or two. Looks really good though. I hate the flat backs on the spigens

Just found out that Incipio has been working on a couple cases for the N5! NGP and Dual Pro. No release date yet tho, but I really want that dual pro.

Ya, saw these like two weeks ago, beem checking their website ever since.
Saw couple of websites that have them for pre order

I just wish they'd make a holster. Sometimes their cases fit Seidio holsters.
I always start off liking the dual pro but the last one I had for my galaxy nexus, the tpu got really loose really quick and dust and crap would get trapped under it and scratch up the phone.

Favorite case manufacturer. Worked great when I had my s3. Didn't make one for the n5 though. Going to get one of these for sure.
Poetic bumper, ringke slim, dbrand carbon fiber skin bought already. Lol

I've been using the Spigen Slim Armour since day 1 and I love it (although I still feel like the power button is way too sensitive). I used to use Incipio on my Galaxy S3 and i loved it.
Time to buy a new case, I mean, it's been almost 2 months with this phone, it's about time :silly:

Same here. Been using their cases for years.
Their products are quite expensive but high quality. The soft coated layer on my GNex Feather case still on after 1.5 year of using, while cheap China cases only last for a week.
I'm either buy the LG Hardshell or Incipio Feather. :laugh:
Some good news. The dual pro is available on their website. A bit pricey tho at $30 a pop.

I love the feeling of my Diztronic case but I'm not a fan of the glossy front lip. Looks like the Incipio is a similar case with a matte lip. If that's true I'll be ordering one of these.

Definitely a con of the diztronic case I've never liked the glossy lip. This incipio looks to be all matte

Currently using the diztronic and it fits really snug with minimal bulk. I ordered the ngp should be shipping out soon according to them. Only 18.51 shipped to California using coupon code on Mod Edit: Website removed

incipio NGP is also available on their website now, and reasonably priced for the quality you are getting (incipio is probably one of the best quality cases i have ever used)

Hi everybody.
This is my first day with my nexus 5 and I love it. I have a spigen slim armor case for it and like that to. The only thing is that the lip around the screen is very thin and I do not know if it would protect against a drop. I also have an iloome flex glass screen protector. Do any of you know if otter box or trident will make cases for the nexus 5. I am worried it will break with what I have on it now.
Thanks

Otter box says they don't have any plans on making a case for us. I-bason and ballistic , sedio all make some great cases. I also have the slim armor I feel safe enough with its lip. But on the other hand you do have a glass screen protector which will surly be closer to the lip.

I-Blason Armorbox is what I have. Being an electrician my phone takes some knocks every now and then. With this case on it feels indestructible

Don't have one, but if I have to use it, I would definitely give the Tech21 case a try (you may wanna read through page 3 for more pics)
Some drop test videos in YouTube are quite impressive.
Thank you for giving suggestions. Do you guys think I will be OK with an iloome .12 mm glass screen protector and the slim armor also do you know of and slim armor drop tests?
:happy:

I just retired my i-blason case. Unfortunately the corner rubbers started to pop off and yesterday I couldn't find one of the rubber corners. The phone doesn't fit tight and snug in the case. Now I'm rockin tech21 case. So far so good.

Where would I find the tech 21 case can you send me a link?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Its in this forum topic(Nexus 5 Accessories). I'm on mobile using tapatalk so I can't link it. They can be found in tmobile stores for 29.99 and in the tech21 thread (when you find it), some of the last pages, you will find a link with 30%? (I think) discount. Print it out and take it to the store and the case will be yours for $22 bucks

Pretty and nice flexible....
I have the Ballistic SG Maxx and while it's pretty bulky, it gets the job done. It comes with a holster which is always a plus. I got it on amazon for $25.

Due to the fact of style I would go with the ballistic however I think both would offer the same protection

I have the Ballistic SG Maxx too, I love it. It's a little bulky but feels solid. The only con for me is the hard screen protector, I love the idea, but it feels a little odd, and takes a little time to settle on the screen.
I think I might order the AEGIS. It looks promising but I wanna see some reviews first.

I would choose the Ballistic Tough Jacket MAXX (SG MAXX) for protection. I own this case and I am very satisfied with it. The only concern I have is that it attracts lint easily.
From reading reviews, I have learned that the Urbanite's coat of paint can peel off.
The Incipio Dualpro looks cheap and flimsy. The reviews are not good for it so I would not buy it.
i like the Trident N5 case I had a trident for my evo 3d many moons ago.. i always rocked otter box defender most of the time.. think ima go with the trident soon.. looks sweet

I like the look of these. I wonder if they'll scratch the corners up like the Ringke does ...
$30 and it doesn't even say Nexus on it?!?!
Come on Google... It's basically a Ringke Slim or Spigen Ultra Fit for more than 3x the price. You could of at least slapped on the Nexus branding.

But...but it has the "Google" logo on it!! that must be worth $30 /s
I actually prefer the Google branding. I don't think I'll ever encounter another person in real life who will know what "Nexus" refers to. Anyways, these cases look to resemble the crappy Spigen/Ringke hard cases, and not the incredible sandpaper ones on eBay. We'll have to see who decides to drop $30 and put up a review.
Looks too similar to the lg thin cases. I'm surprised they'd even put these out.

Only thing is that the LG Hardshell protects more, the top is not covered at all with this case and the bottom is also less covered. I don't understand why they try to sell this product for more money with less protection/functionality. Must be a mistake
Waiting for the review, Wondering if the material is matte or like slipperty specially for white one.
I'd buy this if I live in the US. I'm a google fanboy.

anybody tried this one yet? I am wondering if the case scratches the phone like Ringke or Spigen one.
Which colors of these cases have the rubber like finish, similar to the black n5 material??

To me, these cases appear to be more flexible than the more rigid Ringke cases for example, judging by what I see in the video posted above.

All but the clear. The clear is just plasticy feeling. I got the clear and kind of wish I got the black, but I wanted the Nexus logo to be able to be seen through the back

Oh wow , even the silver one?? It looks too shiny to be the grippy material, but that's great if so..
I'm especially excited to hear the white is the rubbery style, as the white lg hardshell is slippery..

I bought the older black Google Nexus 5 OEM case with the "Nexus" logo on the back. I got it on eBay for last week for like $14.00, but it kinda sucks. I shouldn't say it sucks, but definitely not my style of case. I prefer as minimal as possible, where this case has much more bulk and a thicker lip that goes over the glass. Another thing I don't like is the volume & power buttons are covered. They aren't too hard to press, but it's different for sure. I knew I should have bought the LG minimal case. I really liked the pictures and reviews. I got caught up in wanting the "Nexus" logo on the back. I was blinded!

I hear this case also scratches on the edges so I pass this
