Allo,
I'm recently got a Nexus 5 and bought a Slim Armor SPIGENM's Slim Armor and the belt horizontal leather case that I had just couldn't fit it. I know I might be an exception, but I have to have my phone on me on all time and need to carry it on myself.
Is anyone managed to find a case that would fit the Nexus 5 with the Slim Armor on?
Any idea?
Thanks!

Guys, Im looking for a case like the Rearth RingKe slim case but with a clip on section (like seidio's).
The cases that seidio and otterbox make are just too thick. I do want the belt clip part though.
Edit: Im looking at the Seidio Surface Combo.. If you guys know of any alternatives, let me know.
I have the ringke slim and it works perfectly with the belt holster from the kickstand case from vz. Have been using the combo for a month or so with no issues. I also use the oem extended battery and it has been my perfect setup.
Hope that helps.

The only thing that worries me about the ringke one is all the reports of the paint chipping or peeling after a couple of months..
Using the ringke white case with the seido 2100 extended battery clip works pretty good together
I ended up getting the Seidio surface case and holster, but I really wanted the Ringke SLIM for the case.
What Im not liking about the Ringke is the reports that they crack and the paint starts to peel off.
I just bought the spigen slim armor case and am having a very difficult time finding a belt pouch that fits.
I measured out the dimensions with the case on and it is 5 3/4" x 3" x 1/2"
i am also thinking about maybe getting a pouch that was made for a different phone that is slightly larger than the nexus 5.
anyone have any luck?
Update: looks like no one responded to me but i'll post this anyway...in case anyone is interested

I bought this pouch and it is a perfect fit for the Nexus 5 + slim armor case...the dimensions are 5.9" x 3 x 1 which was the closest ive found so i took and chance and it was a great choice..you can get it for like $5 but i went with the seller that had it for $7 (prime shipping)
Just came across this - do you think it'd have enough room for a bigger case? I have the Ringke Fusion which isn't a very thick case, but it's thicker than the spigen slim.
Also how has it held up? I can be a bit rough on my belt loop cases (keep getting caught on seatbelts and such) and I had one like that rip on me after a couple of weeks.
Thanks in advance

Is the Ringke Fusion bigger up/down or just thickness? If it's thickness it should be fine.. There is some wiggle room there... But of course I can't guarantee you
You should measure it and compare it to the dimensions I posted above
The belt loops are pretty durable.. There are two loops and a metal clip... Very sturdy

I'm currently using a Seido Dilex holster with my Ringke Fusion and it fits perfectly. I got tired of trying to find a pouch that will fit. As for your case, I would look into the holster for their covert case, you'll just need to know the thickness of the case to see if there's any wiggle room or will it fit snug.
Just my thoughts.
Is there anything like that that will hold the phone vertically and not horizonally? Doesn't have to be a complete pouch, but just some kind of 'cage' that holds the phone+slim armor case on a belt, but vertical.

just measure the dimensions that search for a phone case that fits it vertically...horizontal one that i bought is for the S3 and it fits...so you can start by trying to search for S3 vertical pouches

Look at these two holsters Seidio. I don't work for them, just love the holsters. They do rotate as well. The Surface holster will fit case that are less than 2mm thick and the Dilex will fit cases that are less than 2.2mm thick (Ringke Fusion needs the Dilex due to the "feet" of the case) I'm assuming the Dilex is need for the slim armour case as well, I can't find the thickness of the case.
Just wondering if anyone has tried to match the two of these together....
I purchased a Diztronic TPU case for my Nexus 5 - I would like to place it into a Seidio Surface holster while I am at work.
Does anyone know if the Diztronic and the Seidio holster work together with the Nexus 5?
Thanks
Well my Surface holster just showed up tonight and my guess is it would be a no go. The stock bumper case fits but extremely tight on the bottom. My Ringke fusion case is a little more snug then the official bumper case. Both are a little to thick. Prefect fit side to side and height wise. I had an active holster and Ringke e fusion for my N4 and was sloppy so I figured I would try the surface holster. Taking my holster in to work tomorrow and pull out the die grinder and do some trimming and I think it will fit perfectly after take a little bit out of the bottom of the holster. I hope this helps you out.

That is what I would like to do except with a Diztronic TPU case - Just wondering if anyone else has these two and how they work / fit together.
Thanks

I don't have the Diztronic case but I did have both the Cruzerlite and Diztronic cases for my EVO 4G LTE and they both worked flawlessly with the seidio surface holster for that phone. My assumption is that the Diztronic would work fine with the surface holster like the cruzerlite cases do

I just got the Diztronic TPU for my Verizon LG G2, and it fits PERFECTLY in the Seidio Surface holster!!!! The Nexus 5 is basically the same phone as the G2, so I am 99% sure it will be fine for you.
I would point out that the only thing that's a little awkward is that the non-slip "grip" of the TPU material is so grippy that you can't easily "pop the phone in" past the hinged clip - you have to lift the hinge back with one finger, put the phone in, and then let the clip spring back over the phone. Not a big deal, but just "different". I guess I'll have to learn a new hand motion.
Hey.
I'm going skiing in a few weeks and I want a case that is going to protect my phone really well, especially the screen. Spigen have the Slim Armour View (http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s4-case-slim-armor-view.html) for the Galaxy S4 which is exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, the Slim Armour for the Nexus 5 doesn't have the part that flips over to protect the screen. Does any one know of anything similar for the Nexus 5?

I did the rugged case search for the Nexus 5 as well and ended up with the Ballistic SG Maxx. It has good protection, comes with a rigid screen protector that you can put on or off, and has the holster that I don't use to clip to my belt, but to act as a complete face shield for the phone. It isn't my favorite case in the world, but it protects the hell out of the phone and it is only $25 on amazon now. I would love it if the N5 had a case like the one you linked to above, that is really nice.

I was a fan of that Spigen case that everyone raves about, but my nexus 5 is a dinosaur and Spigen doesn't sell them anymore. Checked eBay too
Which cases are you using? I wanna buy one.
I don't use cases anymore, currently have it naked
I do have two, though. Spigen Slim Armor and Spigen Neo Hybrid. I found one here for the Neo: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spigen-Neo-Hybrid-Case-SERIES-for-Google-Nexus-5-/261317712822
I'm using Spiegen Slimarmor. It helped a lot my phone
I use this one: Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit TPU Case Compatible for Nexus 5 - Bluej
I really love Ringke slim. it fits perfectly.
I have really liked the SPIGEN Ultra Fit case. It is very slim and the plastic is very tough without being brittle. I use the black one and it has a matte finish similar to the matte finish of the Nexus 5 itself.
Ballistic cases for the nexus 5 are still available at a lot of cell carriers in Canada. I use a skin myself, my partner uses a grey and black ballistic I just bought her new last week at my local Koodo kiosk
Best case Fusion
I dropped my phone several times and still works,no cracks!
Also it feels really good.
