Call me old fashioned, but I really liked the sleeve that came with my Nexus One and I would love to have a similar one for my Nexus 5. Any suggestions? I previously used this one from built on my Galaxy Nexus, but it was a little small.
And of course, if it was awesome enough to have the little Android on it ... that would be badass
I used the supplied neoprene pouch all the time i used my N1 too. After two years both were still pristine! When i got my SGS2 i bought a neoprene pouch for it from Ebay.
If you can find one that fits a SGS4, it'll probably fit the N5 okay. Like this one:

This is what I used on my N4 and fits my N5

Haha I used these pouches on all of my phones. They are brilliant. I've never had a need for a case thanks to these. Search for android neoprene on ebay and you'll find some. A year or so ago, I got them for about $2-3 USD but now the prices have gone up to about $4-5USD. Still good lil pouches.
Here's one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Android-Neo...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item3f2b5ae2ce
Loved my nexus 1 pouch so much.. Used it for a while..until it became unusable. Elegant and it perfectly fit the device.
I loved it so much that for every phone I had after I purchased one from eBay.
The sellers tend to send the wrong size very often.
The problem is that, contrary to the original pouch, the eBay ones are very very very stiff... Definitely a different material. The original was softer and the phone would come in and out easily.
I will probably buy one again just to have but the feeling is different.
Glad someone was in love like me...
Ps all the alternative pouches you listed just don't compare!

Yea that's so true. The one I listed above has the Android logo but the material definitely isn't the same as the one that came with the Nexus One. It'd be neat if Google included these or sold them. Surely they wouldn't be expensive to manufacture.
I still have the original Nexus One pouch, new unused in the box with the phone (phone is definitely used lol)

The Google Nexus One came with an Android sleeve which I liked quite a bit. I was wondering if there was anything similar for the Galaxy S?
I am pretty sure the Nexus One's sleeve won't work since the dimensions are a decent amount different.

There are any number of sleeves on the Intarwebs. The sleeve from the G1 works just fine, too.
-bZj
It will fit...snugly. I kept mine when I swapped my N1 for the Vibrant.
Another one in favor of the G1 sleeve. It fits perfectly, the top of the phone is flush with the top of the sleeve. I use mine to protect from keys in that same pocket, and to show some love for the old G1

Idk how many of you have had a previous android phone, but when the nexus one came out and it included a small case that came with the phone (similar to what comes with the Palm Pre) I remember everybody wanted one for their phone. Does anybody know of one for the thunderbolt? Personally I would love a smaller version of what comes with the HTC flyer.

I don't think they were case, but sleeves. not totally sure though
It was a sleeve with the android guy on it but no it wont fit. i bought the nexus android sleeve for my incredible and when i got the thunderbolt unfortunately it doesn't fit. sorry to burst you bubble.
Tried to find a similar thing for tbolt as I used to use the pouch all the time with my incredible. There is an ebay dude who makes knock off versions that do fit the tbolt. They're only a few bucks, but are definitely of knock off quality too. The material is cheaper and less 'snug fitting' than the nexus one pouch. But if you absolutely need a pouch...
Yes it will fit. Less than a quarter inch sticks out the top, the entire screen is covered. Just shove it in there.
sleeve
What is a cover worth that you can't easily access your phone. If i have to fight with a sleeve just to remove your phone it's a waste.
Hi,
Anyone know any soft pouch that would fit the Galaxy Nexus?
For my Nexus S, I am using this:
http://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-page.php?divid=Google&model=Google+Nexus+S&cat=Cases&skuno=82280
The material is very soft, and I like that.
I put my Nexus S naked there, without screen protector. And it's still good, shinny, no scratches
So, I am wondering if there is this kind of pouch for the Galaxy Nexus size.
Probably from Galaxy S II?
Thanks.
This is nice!

Amazon UK have a range of Bugatti covers (I don't remember if exactly that one was listed, since I'm looking for a holster type case).
Balls to covers/cases. Seem like a waste of time really. If one came with GN then I wouldn't mind (no idea if one does or not).
The buagatti soft cover dimensions I can find: 62 x 112 mm
Galaxy Nexus: 67 mm x 135 mm
I'm sure it would stretch to accomodate the width, but it's no good if the phone is hanging out the top of the pouch.
edit: apparently those dimensions are for the small case though, maybe there's one that would work. Having a hell of a time finding this thing though.
I found the official site:
http://www.bugatti-mobilecases.de/handytaschen_slimcase-sl-black-bugatti_4871.html
There the SL size 76mm x 133mm
I think that would fit nicely

Perhaps so, if it's like the old nexus one case we should be able to stretch it lengthwise a little bit to accommodate the height disparity.
To that end, searching for SL size got a few hits:

Went ahead and ordered one, will try to get some empirical data on whether it will fit the nexus well when I receive it...I figure if my thunderbolt fits and I get x amount of clearance with the height, then we're good
I found a beautiful one, but not yet in stock.
It's made of suede leather and the logo's are created by lasertechnology.
I hope it will come soon, because I like this one a lot

I think I'll be getting that case unless Samsung are kind and include a nice slipcase with the phone.
I dig the design on that, but don't want exposed corners.
I really hope you get a nice case inside the box. I know with my HTC HD2 I got a really sexy leather pouch and I still have even after two years, it's treated my phone well and saved it a few times Hopefully Samsung will be kind and give us one for all the damn confusion there is around this phone...lol
The slip case that came with the Nexus One was amazing. It's the perfect protection for a phone. I like the naked phone handling experience (no cases/screen protectors) and this protects it in your pocket. I wish more OEM's would include one with their phones.
yeah the nexus one case is what I'm all about emulating. I used it on my droid inc since it was the closest thing to a nexus I could get at the time and it fit in the same pouch =)....I miss that pouch!
I just got one of this from Bugatti, size SL
Tested on my friend's SGS2 and it is perfect fit.
But, keep in mind that GN is 5 mm taller. So this Bugatti SL will expose the phone a little bit, which I like. Because that make it easier to grab and pull it off the pouch!
PERFECT
Now, back to waiting my pre-order in The Netherlands ... *duh* ... *painful*
Has anyone fond anything available yet? Any sort of sleeve or pouch?
Phone due next week, and would really like to have something to protect it until more accessories start to drip through around xmas time.
Got the bugatti case in today, testing fit with my thunderbolt as I don't have a GN. It fits just about perfect with this phone, with edges hanging over top just enough to provide some protection. Tbolt is 121 mm versus 136 for the GN, so the GN will definitely be hanging out of this case if used. The material feels more suedey than neoprene and although it feels nice, does not stretch like the old nexus one cases. I don't see it suiting my purposes for the GN as I want the phone fully contained in the pouch.
Attached: picture of my thunderbolt in case
Additionally...the different material is much more grippy to the phone, it is really hard to get it out of the pouch (unlike the nexus one pouch, sigh!). I'd rate this as not too great for the galaxy nexus if you are trying to emulate the good old nexus one pouch.
I tested bugatti on SGS II and fitted well.
Certainly GN will be hanging out about five mm, but thats ok to have something to hold to release it from the pouch. I have similar like this situation with my Nexus S.
And about the material, you are right, it does not stretch much. But it can stretch! So, I expect it will be better in the long run (stretched).
Unless we dan find another brand ...

I think i am going to go for a pouch made for the Galaxy Note... would prefer my GN to "swim" a bit inside the pouch. This one looks OK until Samsung releases an official pouch:

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........

Got an S4 for the wife and she drops phones so she needs a good case. Going through the S4 forum many people liked UAG and from the pics I hated it, but it had a lot of good reviews and many liked it better than the OB Commuter (which she has on her SII).
So I bit the bullet and ordered it from Amazon with Prime shipping, got it yesterday and I am amazed on how it looks and feels. Very jealous that she has this case on her phone now because it really does just fit perfect.
I also ordered a Spigen slim armor for my N5 at the same time and I have it on my phone for a day, it is ok but nothing special. I have been using the official Google case and LG flip case for a while but returned them for quality reasons. The Spigen is not much smaller than how the official Google case fits, I was expecting it to feel slightly smaller. I really cannot find the right case for my N5, I suspect it is because of the shape of our phone.
If UAG makes a case for any other phone you use, I recommend trying them out.

Hello is Nexus 5 black casing available in my market?? at what price
Had UAG on my HTC One and iPhone 5S and it's the best case I've ever used hands down. I'm the guy that gets a new case has it on for a week and takes it off because I can't stand the feel of a case. I had the UAG on my phones for the entire time I had the phones. EXCELLENT quality case.

I have to say that this is how I feel right now with her S4 and the UAG case, the thought had crossed my mind to give her my N5 and I will keep the S4... lol
But seriously, the UAG is freaking awesome, they really got it right with their cases.
Maybe, just maybe they will make one for the N5... (crosses fingers)

The Nexus 5 exists.
Aside from that, focus on talking about the UAG case and not hijacking it!
The UAG looks sweet!
I completely agree, I had a UAG case for my Note 2 and I loved it. I'd get one for the N5 in a heartbeat if it was available.
I either emailed them or used a contact form on their site, can't remember which, a while ago and got no response.
I have to agree. I had it on my s4 and it was the best case I ever used. Stylish yet very sturdy and protective.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
UAG makes hands down the best cases. I had one for my iPhone 5 and for my HTC One. I also bought one for every one of my coworkers last year. I wrote a review of the case for the One back before they were so popular and they still have it on the main page of their site. Pretty neat, IMO. I've been nagging them regularly to make a case for both the Moto X and the Nexus 5. Nothing would make me happier to have a UAG for at least one of my phones.
Yeah I agree. I bought the UAG casing for my HTC One and it's hands down the best phone casing that I have used yet. Hope that they release a N5 version too.
I prefer the toughcase, better grip and protection, slightly less bulk. Agree that either is better than the Otterbox, frankly I think Otterbox is getting out Otterboxed by several competitors nowadays. People who like the UAG cases might do well to check out the Dilex, not as good as either in my opinion but pretty close and probably the best case of the type out now. And another that is better than a commuter IMO.
