Just so that you all know, maxboost is currently having a sale on their nexus 5 (and a myriad of other phones) cases. Cases are 9.95$ with 5$ off using the promo code HOLSTER7. This code is to be used in the Amazon checkout. I can't speak to the value of the more rugged looking one, but a few friends have the other one for the iPhone 5 and have nothing but praise. Anyways, here the link:

Good price, put's it more in line with where I feel it is a fair price for the product. I placed an order but cancelled it afterward. They have the item listed as in stock on Friday. However, on their shipping estimate it shows they estimate shipping between Friday and December 5th. I don't want to wait that long for a case.
I already have this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GBZLQ9M/ It doesn't come with a holster but it's pretty solid. I'm mainly looking for holdover cases until the Ballistic is selling for reasonable amount of money.
I think 10$ is pretty reasonable to begin with, so the sale makes it even better. I also already have a case, the spigen neo hybrid. Since I already have a case, the shipping time doesn't matter that much to me. However the case you posted looks pretty good too.

I think the case you posted might be sturdier and the holster is a big plus. The case I posted is sturdy. But, the inside layer is a thin TPU, I just wish it was a bit thicker.
Promo code expired
Just a heads-up, Amazon says promo expired.
Oh well.

This case is very similar to the ASUS premium case. You can't go wrong for less that $6.

That's the case I'm waiting for. I have one (actually, three) for my OG Nexus 7. Poetic's customer service is fantastic.
Thanks. In for one.
The Slimline is pretty cool. I had one for the first gen N7. The quality isn't the best since it will start to fall apart at the ends, but they have a 3 yr warranty. Every time I contacted them, they would send me a brand new case. Can't really beat that... and for $6 shipped ain't bad. I paid like $20 for my first gen.
I just got a black one. The colored ones are like $14, which isn't bad, but I already bought a Portenzo that I plan to use.
thanks in for 1 black one.
It costs an extra $18 to ship to Canada. That's ridiculous.
Ugh. Best bet for us Canadians would be eBay.

Thanks in for 1! Was looking at all the cases posted in the forum and decided for the price and style this seems to fit the bill.

I can't bring myself to buy something that low quality, check out the pictures after 3 months
Their quality is a hit or miss but they are good on replacements. The first batch had issues on old N7 but the one I bought has been perfect. Been using it for 10 months daily with no issues.

Its only $5.95 with shipping which is cheaper than a foot long samich from Subway, so if it only last 3 months then I'll use the warranty or by a new one. And that's all I got to say about that!

Hey guys
Was at a bell store and had the chance to see and try out the tech21 impact case for the nexus 5. Some people didnt believe this existed since nothings on their website
Anyways i myself have the ringke and sgp hybrid, and this just blows both out of the water, quality is amazing and looks awesome.
Sorry i didnt have another phone to snap pics with the phone in the case, but heres proof that this case does exist.
Im probably going to buy it in a week or so , ill post more pictures once and if i do

Yes there is a text box under “Total Charges” section.
With the %30 off.. +$0 sales tax (on my state) + $5.99 standard shipping = $27
Hmmmm... Im using SUPCASE right now and i really like it. but that Video up there is very impressive!
FYI T-mobile have Black/clear, Red/clear and all black with front cover all for $29 each.
The video says that Amazon picked up the iPhone version. I think I'll wait till they get them for the Nexus 5 as it should be cheaper. Also because I'm returning my Ringke Fusion for a iblason candy gel. Too many cases to choose from.

I'm gonna wait for reviews on both but as far as I can tell these are a must have. Only thing keeping me from jumping on the flip case is whether or not it has sleep wake function.

Awesome! Thanks for the update man. As a new Nexus owner I've been searching desperately for a stylish yet rugged case ever since it came out. Lack of case choices frowned upon me, but looks like a smile has drawn on my face. Hope my mom will order the gorgeous red case, and my fears of dropping my nexus are gone. Time to search for screen protector so

Indeed. Not many aegis case reviews, and no nexus aegis reviews at all.
My previous Aegis Case for the Galaxy Nexus was amazing, gonna get this one for the Nexus 5 but I want to wait & see if I can get it for around $20 on Ebay like the last one. $35 kinda steep for a case in my opinion.
This is a damn good looking case. Not too disappointed anymore that Otterbox isn't supporting the Nexus 5.

I ordered one a few days back & it came in today. Pics and thoughts coming later tonight or tomorrow morning.
Pictures & Thought's
So, with using Trident Case in the past I thought I would go and be one of the first "testers" of the case if you want to call it that lol. The case is great and all but I will be asking for an exchange for another one because one of the problems was that the case wasn't lining up with the speaker & microphone grill. The other noted part would be the top of the phone, the first part of the case & the second part do not settle (no other words to describe, refer to pictures) & that bothers me so that's my other reason for getting a replacement.
Side Note: When I got it, the box was all beat up like it's been crushed. Not sure if Trident is at fault or USPS.

I just ordered one, it looks like a great case. I would've ordered the regular Diztronic case, but this one has improvements to the design and a clear window so you can see your Nexus logo They're on sale right now for 13% off. I would buy now if you want one, their website said that they only have a limited quantity.
I preordered off diztronic site. I paid a little more. I wish I would have known they'd be on Amazon.
Also, FYI, there's already a thread about this case my friend. Don't be surprised if xda mods close this down. I'd post your link on that thread too.

They are the exact same price on Amazon as our website.
I found this on Amazon, it's a Nexus 5 bumper, that's a replica of the official Nexus 4 bumper:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JBU27WO
Has anyone here tried this case yet?
If it wasn't $23 I would go for it. That's too expensive for a bumper.

Looks awesome. I would certainly buy it, but since its a replica, its not worth the $20 to produce hence it wont last as long as I would like it to.
Overprice. Another month and it gonna be around $10
Its all over aliexpress for much cheaper. Like $3.50 to $15 depending on the seller and how many you buy. There do seem to be different kinds of bumpers on there for the nexus 5, and the nexus 4 clone is the more expensive one.

I don't think replicas are worth being over $10 before shipping. With it being a bumper and not a case, even more so.
For me, $8 - $9 with shipping included is probably the highest I'd go.
I got this in the mail from the amazon seller today. I'm very impressed with it. The buttons feel great and the texture on the rubbery parts is very grippy.
