Amazon.com: [AIR CUSHION] Spigen Google Nexus 5 Case Slim [Slim Armor] [Infinity White] Air Cushioned Protective Case with Dual Layer for Nexus 5 - Infinity White (SGP10565)
I have been using this case for a day now and I'm impressed. The fitment is perfect and I love the color combo. The buttons for volume and power work great, they are really easy to press and are responsive. The cut outs for speakers, USB and headphone are perfect. The case is a little more white than the phone and has a mat finish similar to the white Nexus. I will let the photos do the speaking. Sorry for all the lint of the phone.
Really accentuating the panda theme

Those reviews on Amazon are saying the power button and volume control not fitting well. Your case looks good It's the same one I'm looking at.
I have the same case, it's very nice.

Actually all those complaints are directed towards the Ultra Hybrid model not this Slim Armor model. That one has a clear back and slightly heavier then this slim armor.
There's also the Ultra Fit and Neo Hybrid which I'd love to see in action as well.
Just ordered this! My phone should be here before this is, but thanks for the review. I had used a Incipio case with my Galaxy S3 and that was also a dual case, the soft part and hard backing. This however seems to be a lot better. Thanks for the pictures. :good:
Great pictures, thanks for that.
I'm interested to know if the Black version of this case is glossy or matt, from the CGI mock-ups on the SPG website it seems matt, but I'm not sure.
That looks great.
My black one should be here tomorrow. Hoping its a matt finish. Will let you know.
Nearly went for White but I was worried it'd stain easily.

How's the rubber on it? Is it tight and not very stretchy? Does it fit well into pockets without snagging?

I don't really see how this one could. It's also relatively stiff. I've had commuters for a few phones and never had a problem. Any that have stretched in the past from different companies I've had replaced at no charge

I can't speak to that on the N5 yet, but I will say they are thin. The one on my girlfriends S4 adds very little bulk and actually seems to make the phone feel better in the hand

Just checked the status of mine and it's in transit to my apt! Should be there when I get home from work. Looking forward to this - i've had my phone naked for 3 days now and I've had to be super careful with it
Man...I was drooling over the black/black SlimArmor a few days ago, but that white looks awesome. I think you may have just converted me to the "light side" Thanks for the pictures!
Yeah, I have the black Slim Armor. It's awesome. I did too have the problem initially with the power button being stuck, but I took the case off a few times and put it back on. Now it's perfect. To be fair, tho, only a slight tap is necessary to hit any of the buttons...they really are that easy to push and activate.

I received mine today I had a diztronic you on my vibrant,sensation,sgs2 and gnex.I love them the only thing I don't like about this one is it doesn't seem very snug on the sides and the lip on the bottom kinda gets in the way of pressing the home button.Honestly the home button is the only gripe I have with the sgs3 design.I don't know why they chose to make it a physical button you have to press down as opposed to a touch capacitive on like the back and menu I feel like everytime press down I'm closer to breaking the home button.

I feels ya. I've never liked the idea of a physical home button on any of these phones.. it just looks ugly and out of place.. The GS3's isn't that bad, but still, why not have just made it a capacitive home button to match the menu & back button? Oh well.
I ordered a full body clear shield by photoskinz.
How does the shield affect the fitting Diztronic case ?
I ordered a Zagg full body InvisibleSHIELD and ended up taking off the back plate protector, one because I jacked the installation up and two, the fit was kinda tight, but again that was probably because of my crappy install. The front is fine so far.

I have pretty much the same one. Mine just says "JKase." It's a good case. Looks cool, adds good grip, and it's more like soft plastic than silicon. Doesn't add a ton of protection, but it keeps the back safe from basic stuff. I'd recommend it. Better than carrying an OtterBox brick around.
I have an unnamed 1. Fits perfectly. Easy access to everything. Makes the volume & power buttons easier to press but less tactile. Can still be used with a Kidigi docking station without having to remove the case. Also stops the phone from slipping when propping it up on shiny surfaces.

I know what you mean. I've only had mine for 2 weeks, and it's turning yellow.
i'm using a tpu hybrid case, sides of the case are tpu and the back of the case is a hard plastic, overall it's pretty good. But because the back is solid plastic it slides around on a hard surface.

These are the same as the one I ordered on ebay. Mine was a smokey grey color, with access to all buttons and the LED notification light was bright enough to shine through the gel case with ease.
Highly recommended style of case for the HOV ^_^
I have a purple JKase and it adds grip and has protected my phone quite well from a number of falls.
I also purchased a much bigger case with a kick-stand and this one however has an even better grip (probably because it doubles the phone's thickness and adds significantly to all its other dimensions.
So far I found this one: PDair black with red stitches. Any other suggestions?
I need something in leather and very slim. Thanks
Used to have this on my One X. It's a but pricey but amazing leather.

The case looks sharp indeed. How is the little retractor doing? No damage to screen?
I had something similar for my old Palm Pre2 and it wacked my screen pretty quickly because the stitching inside.
Edit: is confirmed by a reviewer also:
The one critique I have with this pouch is that the strap you pull to pop the phone out is stitched into the inside of the pouch on the same side as the phone's screen. I have a screen protector on my phone, and am finding small dots/dents in the screen protector forming the shape of a square from the stitches inside the pouch anchoring the strap.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The case I got for Pre2 was the original model made by Palm and it still managed to damage the screen. I don't understand how was that possible as the screen was Gorila glass, but it had 2 thin mate spots that annoyed me the hell out.
I don't use screen protectors. Just a personal preference bit never liked them. After 6 months in and out of spigen pouch there is absolutely no marks on the screen. I mean not a single mark. I was thinking about cutting the strap and throwing it away because once the leather took shape of the phone I can now shake it out without using the strap and I found this to be much easier.
Leather looks better every next day (I went for brown version) and it feels really nice.
I promise I do not work for spigen but I have seen some of the other accessories they do and the quality of their products is second to none. Have a look how beautifully made are the ipad cases on spigen website. Can't wait until they make one for my nexus 7 as well.

I almost bought this until I realized it was almost 1/2 an inch to short. I emailed the company to inquire about the possibility of a case made for larger Android phones and received a reply later the same day " Let me go ahead and pass this along to Dave so that he can take a look, and maybe we'll come out with a longer Sleeve just for phone like that one you have there."

I got the blue one a few days ago.
It's a really good case, as good as the Incipio feather cases. The texture on it is very grippy, the only thing it's missing is a hole for the dimple.

just got mine in yesterday.
WOW! i love it. hardly feels like i have a case on this phone. really does a great job at retaining the slim factor of the phone. why can't they make more cases like these??
Nice! But...
I purchased 3 of the Bear Motion cases. Black, gray and blue. I really love the sleekness of the case but I wish they would have more of a lip on the screen side.
The other problem that I see is that the upper right hand corner could have a better fit. The blue case that I received will eventually "pop" out of that corner.
When I purchase a device, I'm on the search for some protection immediately. This case was available for purchase around the release date of the Nexus 5 so I jumped on it and the GLAS.tR (installed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HIWv8zNgXpY).
For $10 I can't complain much about the case. It doesn't add too much bulk and keeps the phone safe under most situations. The buttons are easy to push, however some have mentioned they are too easy to push.
While playing games in landscape mode, it hasn't solved my personal issue with covering up the speaker on accident. A case would require a lot of padding around this area to fix that.
This case is only available through Amazon. I'll add the direct link if requested.
Thank for this video

Decent video but arrgh! the corner of your screen protector was bugging me. Did the case do that or was it already like that?
I got my case two days ago.
I must say, overall, the case is very nice.
I love the way the buttons are so easily pressed with little effort, feels great.
Only real problem I've found is that the headphone opening will not accommodate my AudioTechnica m50 over sized 3.5 mm jack. I'l started to file the opening to make it larger so I can fit my headphones plug.
A bit disappointing for a very nice case, but I can live with it.
Could anyone recommend on a good and not expensive headset that can fir with this case?

Do you know this compares to the rearth ringke fusion (particularly the side buttons)?
I remember the ringke case for the nexus 4 was notorious for being hard to push.
Does this case get scratched easily since it's transparent and plastic I'm guessing. Also are there any other cases available with similar design just a frosted translucent back?? I'm looking for such a case for my phone

The buttons are actually really easy to push. In the beginning I almost felt the case was pushing down on the buttons. Any slight breeze of your finger over the power and it would depress. Over time I think that quit though.
I've never tried that other case.

Just asked my wife and she said it didn't scratch too easily. I'm checking out cases for the S5, and apparently not all clear backs scratch too easily. There's one company (no Nexus 5 case) that has a clear hard back with a rubbery feel too it. My 1 year old daughter test it out and it does a good job of resisting scratches.
