Kaycase with kickstand
http://www.amazon.com/KAYSCASE-ArmorBox-Heavy-Cover-Google/dp/B00EVERGX0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383855740&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+5+kayscase
Very slim for a case with a kickstand only added thickness is because of the kickstand.
Feels plasticy, kind of Cheap, but the grip with the ridges is nice.
Fit is good everything lines up, I'll give it a 95% I just don't like the fit of the hard backing part
Buttons are hard to press, that's because of the not so rubber case, like i said feels kind of plasticy
Kickstand is Great nothing that's going to fall apart, only one angle
Looks are OK they aren't winning any style contest,
I need kickstand, however I'm going to keep looking for something better, and I'll be sticking with the Slim Armor.

Just found a Seidio Active Limited Edition ripoff on ebay

Does anybody have one of these? I'm on an ebay shopping spree at the moment, and I'm thinking of getting this. I think it looks pretty cool, I'm just wondering what the quality is going to be like.

"The front piece is crafted out of high quality hard plastic and the back piece is made with a durable silicone material with a hard plastic design attachment"
What I'm curious about is if the shell is covered with that soft-touch paint similar to what Seidio uses. I really hope it's not because I have had two of the seidios and the paint started peeling on both of cases within a couple days of getting them.
There is a thread on Android Forums discussing these with more pics. Here it is for you guys to check out http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-accessories/194037-pics-fishbone-active-case-evo.html

"not tight fitting, can slip out"
I had high hopes for this exact skin, then read reviews on AArchosFans.com I think
The main cons were: iirc -not tight fitting, will slip out of skin, -the skin does not cover bezel around screen enough -collected dirt and static -smelled
Now, I could accept everything but "not tight fitting, can slip out" that would suck if a skin cover caused a tablet drop. anyone with first hand experience with this on a 80 G9, chime in
Just got one today for my 80. It's true its not all that tight, especially at the top and bottom (in landscape) but it wraps round far enough at the sides that I can't imagine it would actually fall out very easily. I'm happy with it.
Thanks,
I ended up ordering the new tuff luv leather like case on ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tuff-Luv-Tr...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item58921753b7
for $27.00 on auction, haven't received yet

Case Junky surprised by a Generic.

I was finding it hard to find a slim case that was quality. I had the Bern and like it I just didn't like that it had a hump on the back and it enclosed the volume button. I ordered this carbon fiber wrapped case on Ebay for $5.99 and really forgot that I ordered it. It come in today and I am really impressed. It fits perfectly, it very thin. Its made with an extremely thin piece of plastic and wrapped in white carbon fiber(not fake). The phone actually feels light with it on and better in the hand (I have never had a cloth feeling case and it feels nice). It covers the screen and all corners. The best part is that its a flat back case but the camera is protected. It doesn't touch at all. Its a great case and I can't say enough other than I am about to order a black on.

Review: Lightning Knight Hybrid Armor Defender

Lightning Knight, AKA LK, Hybrid Armor Defender Case
TL;DR:
TPU + Polycarbonate
No need to separate the two parts to install/remove the phone
Offers good protection - see the depth of the air-cushion fins
Feels nice
Not slippery
Buttons are very easy to push (clicky)
A bit bulky (as intended for my use)
I was surprisingly satisfied - If anyone has Q's, just ask. It's available on amazon here

I found this case on amazon and ordered before i received my 2 XL. It is a stop gap case until something nice comes along. The rubber on the side had flashing that i had to trim. I also do not think the lip that goes around the front is high enough to help with accidental drops if it lands screen down. It was an 8 dollar case and i got what i paid for.

New case on the market by Spigen

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B081TL7299/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
$30 on Amazon.
Fits well and allot thinner than the Otterbox. Aslo it covers the whole front where the fingerprint reader is.

Bought the transparent one for my golden Razr 2019.
Fits and holds perfectely to the phone. It gives an almost perfect protection to the phone, only the back of the hinge is left unprotected when the phone is closed (beside applying a thin plastic protecting layer, nothing else really possible here).
Only bad thing is the shipping cost to europe: almost $ 20.- for a very long shipping of a little more than 2 weeks... So almost $ 50.- for this cover, huu! But certainly the best you can find. Its some kind of hard silicon/TPU, a little soft but not too much, so that it can hold tight to the sides of the phone, and the lower part also covers the front, only leaving the fingerprint reader uncovered. Hopefully it won't get yellow with the time.
Beautiful! really elegant, thanks for sharing
