Does anyone have recommendations on any Nexus 5 wallet cases? From when I had an iPhone, I always had the book-book case so I am used to carrying my phone and my creditcards/cash in the same case. It just seems that there are no good options out there. I actually ordered this one (http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FQJ1GJ4/ref=oh_details_o00__i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) but even though it shows up as in stock, I ordered and still hasnt shipped. Now the vendor has canceled the order since they are no informing me that it is now back-ordered.

I had those 2 models with my HTC One. The first one, the leather stitching started fraying a week after use. The 2nd one, the clasp fell out after a month or so. I am looking for something high quality. I dont mind paying along the price of the book-book.

There is also that, I dont expect to see much really high quality cases though. Nexus dont have near the market share of iPhone/Galaxy lines.
Check out the Watson Folio cases by Incipio. Hopefully they'll roll one out.
Tuff-luv made a nice looking brown leather case for the Nexus 4, so hopefully they'll do the same here.
And maybe Spigen will do a "Slim Wallet" design for the Nexus 5.
Protenzo makes some really nice cases.
They are working on the nexus 5 cases now. No eta though, otherwise i have the nerd herder gadget wallet which is nice. Its a little thick but nice.

This one isn't out yet, but it comes in wallet or "profile" style. Both look pretty nice.

Tuff-luv told me in an email that they expect to have stock by the end of November. On Twitter, it's the end of December.
In the meantime, I've ordered:
Poetic Slimbook Case for Google Nexus 5 Black (3 Year Manufacturer Warranty From Poetic)
and, because I'm travelling next week and the Poetic won't be delivered in time, this:
i-Blason Google Nexus 5 Smart Phone by LG Leather Slim Book Case Cover (Black) from Amazon
I also considered the Ringke Delight/Discover from Amazon - again, it wouldn't be delivered before I travel.

Hope that helps. You're right there really aren't that many wallet cases for the nexus 5 available.

It does have 3 5* reviews though.... Shame it is in the UK and not in the US. Oh well, the one I bought will be here on Tuesday.
What I do minimize the wear and tear on flip/wallet cases is to use voice announce and shake call. No need to open the case as often.
I have the ringke nexus 4 case... Not real leather and decayed badly in less than 12 months... Tempted to buy it again, remove the plastic holder, find a leather wallet and make my own.
How hard is it for these guys to make brackets and simply stick them on a genuine leather wallet?
Has anyone found a wallet case that doesn't have the flip/cover? I've been searching for one similar to an iphone case and it just seems that case makers aren't making them non-iphones

Cost....
People are usually happy buying $10-$15 cases. Real leather in a case would shoot the price up north of $30 and there just aren't a lot of buyers at that price range (relatively speaking).
As to other cases, I did get a reply from Zenus (http://izenus.com/) and they are planning a Nexus 5 case for early December.

They're expensive, but Vaja has one small leather case out already, and I'm sure they'll design more with the relative similarity between carrier devices, and the number of buyers across the world.
The first one they've come up with is $70, which sounds really high, but I can tell you from experience that these things are inSANEly well-made. They're probably hand-stitched by one 85 year-old lady in Venezuela, but their cases are awesome.

I got this one. I love it because vertical position is a must and also the clip can rotate. It does leave some black marks on the back of the phone but nothing is perfect
The $5 & $10 cases on ebay /amazon are not real leather.
I am also interested in some real leather options. A search showed "hoco" as an option, they look pretty slim too.

Seconded! I don't have one for my S3 (yet), but I've been considering the Grip or the Pouch they have on their site.
I've bought their cases for past phones and not only do they look great, but they're very durable. The price-point is a little painful, but well-worth it in my book.
Might as well ask this here. But do any of you guys (yea guys on this one) carry around a wallet case? I was gonna get a SGP Valentinus black for my SGS3 but I got to thinking, maybe it seems a little feminine. I wanted one cuz it would mean for me to not carry a wallet around. I wanted either the Valentinus or the Argos. What you guys think

I think they are going to extremely close in specs. I imagine both would be made of the same type of material and both close to each other in most regards.
I really think it comes down to preference on the cutouts and warranty policy.

I think the biggest difference is how the magnets are implemented. The Moko has that clasp on the center of the right edge while I believe the Poetic has 3 magnets distributed along that same edge. I've also read that there may be some minor differences in the quality of the material and the fit of the plastic backing.

Yea I liked my old Poetic how well it closed. The downside is that it required a whole strip of plastic down the side. The Moko only has 1 magnet and less plastic I think.

This is for people who have received or ordered both. I know there are a few but I'm guessing not a lot of people have both cases yet since they've just started shipping out. I also ordered both but figured it would be a cool to keep a running tab for people who are considering one or the other in the future.

From what I've seen in the pictures, The Moko just has a gap where the volume rocker and power button is.

I don't have both. I just read reviews on the forum and ordered the Poetic. Cannot compare.
But poetic offers 3-year warranty. Cannot go wrong.
The poetic warranty is really nice. They've replaced 3 of mine from last year, no questions asked. When the cover got worn, I'd shoot them an email with my amazon confirmation number and another case would arrive in a few days.
I think Moko has a warranty but unsure of the process. Both are cheaply made cases and won't last past a couple months of heavy usage. The "plastic" cover will start to break at the folds.

This is something I have gotten used to with my 1st gen. Nexus 7, and once you have a feature, it's hard to live without it. I'm contacting Poetic for a replacement or return. Such a bummer, because this case is truly awesome.

Cool, will try it when I get home in about an hour. I also ordered this case a few days after I got my Nexus 7 (July 26th), and just got the case today. I forgot I even ordered it, and it's by far the longest period of time I've had to wait for a product from Amazon. If it doesn't work, I'm going to email Poetic. I'll update with pictures.
Here are the better cokparison pictures I just took.
Poetic is first and then Moko. I also put them side by side to show the micro fiber difference. The poetic feels better with that part. Also like some mentioned be sure to be carfule taking it out as it does hold the tablet tightly. However if you take it out from inside first it should be eaiser. I did not have any issues also with back seperating.

Shows £24.99 and "coming soon" in the UK. FFS Google why can't you get the accessories to us in good time. The UK didn't even get the wireless charge dock in the end.
Can someone confirm this is actually available to buy in the US?
I wasnt a huge fan of the oem bumper for the n4, only due to the fact that it left part of the metal ring visible on the top and bottom of the front of the phone. It didn't quite look like it fit correctly.
I did however love the poetic bumper, it fit perfectly, it was a bit thinner, and matched the phone almost as if there was no case at all.
Amazon already has the poetic up for pre order and shipping date of November 19 I believe. I've got one on order, and will post pictures when it arrives.

I really like the look of the official cases especially with the nexus logo intact. I'm part of the minority and like the thinnest case possible like the rearth slim or spigen ultra fit. This official case looks like a nice compromise between the "super thin barely any protection" cases and the thicker "add too much bulk more protective" cases. Definitely pricey though.
I've had the spigen neo and was very disappointed. El cheapo imo. Rearth Ringke has been my favorite cases so far

No way I would buy that.
The image for the black bumper uses a GNex and does not really show anything about the bumper.
The image for the white bumper uses a Nexus 5 render without the bumper on it.
The description says it is for all carriers, including Verizon, on which the N5 does not work.
It would have been great to get an actual bumper case like the Nexus 4 had but I think I'll still get the official "bumper" for the Nexus 5. I'm a sucker for OEM fit and finish as well as I like how it still displays the NEXUS logo on the back.
The price is ridiculous though. I hope the carriers offer it in store when they launch the phone so I don't have to get ripped off with shipping as well.

I think it's difficult to make a true bumper for the Nexus 5 because the back is curved. Nexus 4, iPhone... Those are phones with flat backs. Regardless, I think the case looks nice, but is a bit pricy.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
the official "bumper" case is expensive. but i'm guessing the "nexus" branding is what makes it worth it to a lot of people.
if you cover up your phone with any other case it just looks like any other phone and not like a beastly nexus. but now your vanity can be satisfied with a case that clearly states for all to see... NEXUS.

wished google made official one like that but in RED!
The official bumper looks quite appealing, and it looks like it extends past the camera. My only concern is the buttons. In-house cases that the phone company comes out with are notorious for having hard button covers. Guess we'll just wait for video reviews on that.

I am looking for a case like the official bumper case.
Is there anything like that? I want something soft since it obviously offers the most protection during a drop. But the only one I know so far is that Cruzerlite Bugdroid, but that pattern on the back makes it look so cheap, doesn't work with the phone at all. I'd just like something minimalistic like the phone. The official one is great but since it's rather expensive I'm looking for alternatives.
Spigen Neo Hybrid. Looks great and feels good in my hand.
Stay away from the Spigen Silent Armor though. That one has many problems with the power button alignment
We're just gonna have to wait like we did with the Nexus 4 bumper replicas.

I have tried the Spigen Neo Hybrid in Champagne Gold. It looks really fantastic, the protection is very solid. It just added a bit too much bulk for my taste and I will receive the bumper case next week to compare it with.
Thanks for the infos on the Spigen ones! I am looking for something more simple though. They feel so overly designed to me, I really would like something completely minimalistic, just like the original case.

I don't know anything about the Nexus 4, so you are saying there will be clones of the official case?

I thinks this one is the original one as it's selling $35 too, the replica one it's only $14 after discount. How's the Ringke Fusion?

They were never as good as the OEM ones though, and I had both with my N4. OEM ftw (albeit very expensive!)

Who knows for the Nexus 5 bumper case though. Maybe the replicas will be better given the staining and peeling problems that you hear a bunch about with the OEM bumper case.
Here's an example of the peeling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5oEj4hJsd0

Couldn't agree more with the staining, Got a gray one from Play Store and was stained within a week. Was planning to reorder a black one and now I think I'll wait for reviews of the Shenit version.
I ordered a red one looks like it will be a good month or so before it comes in... I'll give you guys a review when it comes in.

Nexus 5 black bumper case original
Dont buy original, after paying such a handsome amount you will end up with a case which has not a perfect fit, which happened in my case atleast. The lower of the case is not hugging the phone unlike the other sides

Im using the ringke fusion atm and im rly satisfied! Only thing i dont like is that the headphone hole is to small for some of the jacks....
I can upload a picture if you like...
I bought this case in August when I got my Nexus 7, and I don't look back! This case is a beast, its not only quite cheap, but it is also good quality, and it gives the Nexus 7 a classy look when carrying it. Its got all cut outs for the power, vol up/down rocker as well as a cut out for the camera on the back!.
Please do me a favor and check out my review video on the case on YouTube(link below). Please like and subscribe too as it helps a lot!! If you'd like to buy one of these from Amazon, there's a link in the description of the video and I will also post a link in this Forum thread too! thanks a lot!

They are pretty good about addressing customer complaints too. I ordered one in late August when I got my Nexus 7 and by early September I received a second case completely unexpectedly with a note about how the new one had been changed to correct customer concerns. Two cases for $12? Not too bad!
Is it really protective though ?
It looks very good but I'm concerned about sturdiness as I always accidently drop my devices..

It will protect from wear in a bag or something like that. Because its a rigid case, I don't think the fall protection would be that great (besides the screen which obviously would benefit from any case with a front cover). I have not dropped mine while in the case so I cannot speak to its just how much protection it affords. I mainly only use the case when I travel or bring it to work because I don't want it getting scratched up in my bag.
It's a Nice Case
It's a nice, practical case, though I doubt it would be a lot of help for dropping it. It also works with the Tylt Vu wireless charger.

I had the exact same experience, and I definitely would recommend this case as well.

Received my poetic slimline case for the N7 2013 and it looks like they sent me the older version. I bought it through a 3rd party seller on Amazon.
The auto wake works but would like the newer version.
I absolutely love my slimline. Bought it in gray and its the best case I've owned for any device. My only discrepancy is the flap takes some getting used to when trying to use it as a stand.

If you want real protection, get the Poetic Revolution, or the Gumdrop case http://www.amazon.com/Gumdrop-Drop-...id=1386303182&sr=8-1&keywords=gumdrop+nexus+7
Those are 2 of the most rugged cases made. I wish Ballistic made cases for the Nexus 7, as I've taken my Infuse phone and purposely thrown it 20ft up into the air and onto concrete just to prove how good the case is.
two months of use and the hidden shoddiness of so much Chinese merchandize is rearing its ugly head in the Poetic Slimline case. the magnets have loosened to the point of falling out and the plastic around them is cracking. Two months !
Thing flew out of my coat pocket getting into an SUV this morning.
The case took all the damage. Some scuffs on the front. Freaked out, and inspected the tablet. Still flawless.
Now I'm using the revised one they sent me a week after I ordered the original. Knew the free case would come in handy one day.
I had the original on there since they were first released and it still had no signs of wear. No cracking, peeling, nothing.
Highly recommend the case.
