I just found a Nillkin Nexus 5 case on eBay. I really enjoyed my Nillkin Nexus 4 case. I'll be posting a review of it once it makes it to my doorstep from China. I'm purchasing it because of the unfortunately sharp edges on the spiegen ultra fit case I tried first. (Don't buy that spiegen case! You'll be sorry)
Edit: Alright, I finally got my case. It's great. Feels just like the case I loved so much on my N4. The edges aren't too sharp like the spiegen I had. The back texture is nice. It feels like rubber coated plastic. If you guys want any pictures or want me to try anything with it, just let me know.

My pics
Mine came like this with a screen protector too...
Lastly, here it is for $7.77 (lucky, eh?).
They also come in gold and red which I don't have pictures of here.
Thank you! I was waiting for Nillkin to make a case for the Nexus 5. I have it for my Nexus 4 and I simply love the build quality.
Have one for my LG, excellent case. Just ordered one for the Nexus 5 as well. Highly recommend this.
Looks cool, and the price is right. Bought a white one.
Is it a rubber or plastic material?
Wow that case looks really nice gonna order one pretty soon i think.

From what my Nexus 4 case is like (same manufacturer) it feels like soft rubber on the outside and a little harder on the inside. I think it's probably all rubber though. Maybe it's rubber coated plastic? I'd highly recommend it whatever it is based off of my previous experience. If this is like the other one, it holds the phone slightly off of the table if you have it screen down too.
^ I didn't have a problem with yellowing because I got black last time :laugh:
Loved their case on my Nexus 4. Will definitely get this
How well are the top and bottom protected? It's hard to tell from the pictures but it looks like if the phone was dropped on an end you'd have some damage?

You're probably right. If the phone were dropped on the back top or back bottom it would probably be okay, but it doesn't offer much protection for the front. It's mainly a scratch protector for those that don't drop their phone often.
Im going to order one today also. Was hoping Rock also had their cases out but doesnt matter. Can always buy one when they do!!
Was going to grab a white one for my white phone but I do think it will go yellow after time, as mentioned earlier in this thread.
Logic says go white for white phone, but either way, the back is going to be covered by the case so what difference. Maybe ill go a gold case for a change?

I think it's brown (just don't want you to be disappointed). I mean, it's $9... if it yellows... just buy another? Of course it's all up to you

Been using a Nillkin Case since I purchased my Nexus 4. It survived several drops since then. You can't go wrong with this one.

Currently using the Aegis on my T989 and love the protection - But it does add a ton on bulk to the phone, making in/out of jeans and other pockets damn near impossible - Any suggestions on a case that offers similar protection in a slimmer profile?
Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=320938021379

I have the Incipio Samsung Galaxy S2 Silicrylic Case.
It's pretty good in my opinion. For it being silicone and a hard polycarbonate shell it's not too bulky at all.
Easy to grip in-hand and it's easy to get out of my pockets.
Hope either of our posts helped you find a great case for this amazing device!
Ballistic case.
T-Mobile D30. Great little case IMO.
Ordered these 4 cases off Ebay this week to try out.

This one looks to be a Ballistic SG ripoff but the price was right:
You can see that it does not drop down on the top like the SG
and this one that looks like it could be near CyaN1de proof. (I'm a bit hard on my gadgets)

Go with the body glove case. It's slim and looks incredible while providing excellent protection. I can't even count the number of times I've dropped my phone but it doesn't matter because this case works really well. Anything thicker is overkill.
whats with the extremely black soft keys? I have a white GS2 but the keys dont look that dark.

His GS2 is not white. It's black. He just has a white sticker on the front. The earpiece grill at the top is a dead giveaway. On the white one it is silver. I used to have the same sticker on mine but got sick of it.
Yeah, it's a white decal from decalgirl. I kind of like the two tone black and white look. Plus it hides the ugly samsung and tmobile branding so it looks cleaner.
The only downside is that it is raised from the screen so wiping oil is a little more difficult

I have been using the Ballistic SG almost exclusively since receiving the cases. The biggest bulk is obviously the bumper corners but really protects the phone when it manages to slip out of my hand.
I ended up picking up a Body Glove case when I was in the US and really liked it other than the fact that it would cause my screen protector to bubble in the corner.
I only tried the mesh backed case for a few minutes to check fitment so I can not say too much about it other than it does look really nice on the phone.

I concur!
I found this case at Amazon for less than $10. It's white rubber/TPU on the sides, and the back is clear, slightly frosted polycarbonate (but not 'blurry' - see the images below), very similar to the Griffin REVEAL case available for the iPhone and other older models. The back is solid, and the buttons work well through the rubber sides - a good alternative for people who like the look of bumper cases, but want back protection and want to avoid the discoloration of clear TPU cases.

Beautiful case (like most white TPU) but you're sorely mistaken if you think it won't discolor like the clear ones. It actually will look worse as it sticks out more on a white background.
Don't believe me? Take a picture of your case in two weeks and update the OP. One week if you're a smoker

And my source is myself. I've ordered and used multiple white TPU cases. Finally learned my lesson.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I've had it for almost a month, and these photos were taken today - haven't noticed any obvious discoloration yet... I think the rubber is a little thicker/less porous than TPU. I don't keep it in my hand all day (usually on the desk). I had the clear Diztronic case first, and saw discoloration in days with that one.

When I ordered it, it took less than a week - it was on Prime shipping then, though, so it may be a few days more now.

Well, it's still plastic, so it will scratch if you try hard enough. Mine has a few mild scratches, but they aren't deep enough to be noticable without looking for them.
Also, here's the same case in Black: http://www.amazon.com/BoxWave-Samsung-i9300-Galaxy-UniColor/dp/B001DNSLKE

I thought somebody might ask that! It's the elago M2 mobile stand - it comes in black and silver. It's solid (solid!) metal; I also have the larger one they make for my iPad.
I was looking for a anti-fingerprint screen protector and i stumbled upon this case, it looks amazing, not sure if anyone has this one already and can give us a quick review, its called Nillkin.
Here is the link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Newest-HT...rd-Shell-Cover-Screen-Protector-/370808049120
Im going to order one and give you guys a quick review, it ship almost everywhere around the world, free and fast delivery in the UK and its only £8.00, very reasonable, it also comes with a screen protector so it might be worthy.
Looking forward to some feedback.
here are some photos.
Edit: just placed my order, might get it by mid week next week since its already weekend. will give some review once i got it

I've got one in black and its an awesome case, i'd say a better fit and more durable than the casemate cases too.
Two questions before I buy this case:
1) Is there a cut out for the power button or is there an actual button on the case for it?
2) Do these hard shells not damage the phone at all?
Absolutely love this case. Almost looks like the phone was made that way. Doesn't offer the best protection, but if you just care about protecting the back, this is of the best and best looking.

1. its a cut out, look at the ebay post to see more photos

I too have a white nillkin case and their grey flip.
Only problem with the flip is the case is too close to the headphone port, so I have a kld oscar 2 on back order to fix this.
Plus I love the black monolith look, reminds me of the film 2002 a space odyssey.

You could try this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Minisuit-Ultr...=1386219791&sr=8-5&keywords=moto+x+clear+case

I can't personally speak for that one, but I can for these:

http://www.amazon.com/Cruzerlite-Ex...=1387406862&sr=8-7&keywords=cruzerlite+moto+x
Only the symbols/lines and sides are completely transparent, but I thought they looked nice with the custom backs. They are also very snug and solid. So tight, in fact, that you need to be very careful putting it on if you have a screen protector.
Also, it's B2G1 on those.

Air Jacket is clean and shows off the back and our corporate logo perfect.
Good protection have dropped 2 times both glass 1st and back 1st no damage.
Plus the side case edge matched the Moto X choice great for the buttons and camera ring.
You can feel the dimple on the phone as that part of the case is open.
Power Supply was a little slow to respond on questions on there FB page but very happy with the product!

I bought one from Ebay and it is okay. The price was less than $5. Since I am a new member, I can't post outside links but it is called " Moto X Clear Slim TPU".
I decided not to use a case on mine. I am using a pouch and I'll use the bumper on occasion. My ideal case is a matte bumper with clear button covers.
SUPCASE
I just bought a SUPCASE and love it for the extra protection over my Bear Motion one. Both on Amazon. The SUPCASE has a clear back with black edges. Perfect for showing off the Moto X Dev Ed Black with White back if you ask me.

Bad decision, got this case..installed it...but it seemed to have an odd effect on google now...ie the response was poor..so tried taking the case man...it was so painful...
I received my power supply air jacket case today. I like it a lot. The fit is perfect. I wish the back were more grippy, but the edges are just grippy enough.

There are at least 5-10 on eBay that are hard clear cases. I bought two different ones for $3 each. Look harder!
So, I was looking for a new skin on my phone when I realized that I didn't want to do a wrap. If you're like me, you'll spend $10 and then remove the skin in like a week. After that you'll have to buy another one if you want to go through the process again. I'm not 100% into cases because of bulk and this is a damn sexy phone.
I scoured a few different places looking for a white thin case when I came across this: ELAGO THIN CASE
Here are my pros:
Fit is perfect
Cut outs are exact
This actually feels like it could be part of the phone
Has a Matte White look
Not TPU, its a hard plastic
Lots of compliments just in one day
Cons (Keep in mind, these are things people may not like but doesn't bother me)
Phone is still a little slippery
Buttons are now a bit more flush with the case
Zero lip over the glass to put upside down
The cut outs are exact so accessories are about 1mm from being perfect
I'm going back for the other two colors. This is an awesome case. Does anyone else have any ultra thin cases they can recommend.

Is there a promo code for that one? Kinda high in price.
got this today, it's going back. I have a skin on my phone, the case went on with ease on top of that and was still not snug
I got the Anccer in gravel black:

Preserves "caseless" feel, super grippy.
Do not spend 10 USD for just re-branded case.
Buy the exact same one just for 4USD.

Good call.
Edit: Just went to the link. I just don't like AliExpress. I had problems with them in the past. 20-39 days for a case when I can get it in 2 days from Amazon, meh... I'll pay the difference.

Really? That's a bummer. Mine fits perfect and has no movement. I don't have any sort of skin. I wonder if that's throwing off the fit.

It looks just as good in person.
Needs a top and bottom lip. Put your phone face down and it will scratch.

Nope. User a screen protector.. Cases with lips exist. This is for absolute minimalists.
Just went to the mailbox to get the Elago case I ordered after seeing this thread. I'm coming from the Spigen Slim case and, even by comparison, the Elago is ridiculously thin! I love it, but it definitely needs to be paired with a screen protector in order to keep the phone somewhat safe.
It is probably not nearly as thin as that case, but I usually buy Ringke Fusion cases for every phone I get. I love the way it adds the extra tactile feel to the buttons, and has saved me from many drops even on asphalt and hard concrete. I'm not sure how it is on the S8+ yet as my S8+ is not here yet. but I've used Ringke Fusion cases on OP3T, Nexus 6P, Nexus 6, Xperia Z3, and I have loved it on every phone.

Not even close.
Just a heads up. The Elago scratches and scuffs pretty easily. Not that I expected much from such an inexpensive case but, I've been babying my black Elago and, within 24 hours it already has 4 or 5 long scuff marks across the back. Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention. It would've been nice if they had used the same type of rubberized finish found on the Spigen and Ringke slim cases.

Who sets their phone with the screen down?
