Hey there,
i currently have an Galaxy S2 and bougt the Nexus 5 yesterday. For my S2 i have the Otterbox Commuter Case, which i really like. Unfortunately there will be no Otterbox for the N5. So my question is wether or not there is a comparable case for the N5 out there? It needs to be durable and i want it to protect my phone as good as possible - price should be around 20 euros.
Thank you,
Tobias
This case is available the 22nd. It is approximately 10 bucks. I'm not sure how much euros that would translate to. http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Google-Nexus-Superleggera-Protection/dp/B00GAF0GYE

It looks great!, however you can't ship it to Europe.. Is there any other option?

that seller just sent me 5 pictures of it front and backs i'd post but your not allowed
What I'd really like is a screen protector to be here and ready when my GNex finally arrives.
As far as this goes I think it looks slightly tacky.
I found one from china for 3. Wonder if it will get here before the phone. Lol

I just got these off ebay for $11 shipped. For around $2 per case i dont expect great quality but, they should do the job untill a proper one comes along a little after release.
Looks nice, I have a feeling there will be a lot of accessories for this phone over any other Android device.
I had one for my Nexus S and SGS2 in matte black, I hate glossy. Anyone seen one yet?
They're decent and cost effective. I purchased a few from ebay with no complaints

Anyone know of a place that has the Otterbox commuter case in stock for around 25 pounds shipping from the UK? Or somebody that snagged one early and didn't like it? I would be more than happy to take it off your hands!

I had the otterbox commuter and tbh I like this better.

Thanks but I really don't want to mess with the overseas shipping from ebay US.
Rumor has it that preorder will start tomorrow and the case will be available in about a month.
I have one of these for my original nexus 7 and its really good for the price. Just figured I'd pass on the info.

Im gonna have to pass. I made the mistake of buying the Slimline for my OG N7 and it was terrible. Left marks on the screen and practically fell apart. And I hardly even used the flippin case. Only put it on when I was traveling about. I had it for about 5 months, and by the 4rth month it was already fraying at the edges.
I had the same problems with the slim case. I have had the revolution for my nexus 7 for a long time and it's in Greddy shape.
BTW the new case is on amazon now for $20

What a rip off
I'd rather get best buy protection and go naked with that price
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
FYI, Amazon Just Dropped the Price on this Cae Its now Only $14.99 Free Shipping! , BTW I pre-Ordered Both The Revolution and the Slimline, heck for $20 shipped on both, its bang for buck, I've had Poetic in the past, Quality is not the best but not the worst either;for me it's enough; I'm really careful with my devices I'll bet they'll last me!
PS. I trust My N4 with a Poetic Atmosphere.

Thanks for the update. Any idea how OK can get them to honor that price instead of the $20 I already ordered out at?
As far as the cases go I really, really like the one that I have for my nexus 7. I was looking for a defender case but I wasn't about to spend $70 on one. I haven't really been happy with defender cases lately anyways. After buying one for my note 2 I'll never buy one again.
The revolution case is defender like, can be had for less than half the cost and the button press is easy and it feels good in hand. I bought one of the first runs and it had the blurry screen protector. I contacted poetic and they sent me two replacements..... It took a month or so to get them made amnd to me but they made good. While I was waiting I just knocked the one out and installed a stock on one on the screen.
Anyways ever since I got the new front its been on, clear and nice and I don't think twice about letting my toddler use the tablet.

Dam, for $70 I would need a b...job with it. lol That is way to high for a device under $300. I'm sure it is awesome though.

Nice write up and I'm exited for mine to come in. The pics are a little small but nothing a little pinch zoom can't fix.

Awesome. I just checked my shipment and it looks like it was just shipped 12 hours ago even tho I got a email from amazon saying it shipped before that. Kinda bummed, I've been waiting a long time for this case. I've actually been using my old nexus 7 all the time just because I like the way it feels in my hand with the case on.
Looks like I'll be happy with the case when I get it tho.

Ordered one of these myself. Looked very decent. Been looking for something that has decent protection as my kids broke the screen on my first generation that I'm still trying to figure out what to do with. Estimated delivery date is Monday, however I'm doubtful as the tracking days it's been in San Francisco since the 19th.

Is anybody else's screen protector very cloudy? Mine is cloudy and has specs that kind of look like a screen protector placed on a dirty screen. This is the screen protector however, and not the screen being dirty.

Make sure you removed the plastic protector film on the outside as well as the inside of the built in screen protector.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Much better thank you. It was the inside cover that I didn't know was there. There is some distortion, giving a rainbow like look, but that's something I expect I guess from a screen protector that is not adhesively bonded.

That rainbow effect never goes away either. My original nex7 case still has it. It's not bad once the screen turns on.
This case is way better than the original case. only thing I don't like is the horizontal stand, it leans back farther than the original nexus 7 case.

Currently between jobs, on a whim I applied for an Amazon credit card. They approved me and I got a 10$ gift card.
Just looking for something "reliable" for that 10$.
I generally take good care of my electronics, just wanted a little extra for this phone.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Also if you want to recommend other cases that are above my limit, feel free to do so~
Ultra hybrid by spigen for sure. I got it for under 10$ on Amazon and I love it. Really good drop protection for what it is.

I found this on Amazon, it's a Nexus 5 bumper, that's a replica of the official Nexus 4 bumper:

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.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Looks like the price has gone down to $12.99 before shipping now. Was going to order one from Aliexpress, but maybe I'll get this one now.

If you could point me to a link where it's $3.50, then I'd bite. I'm not seeing anything that low on aliexpress, even with multiples.

The $3.50 one is a different style bumper. The Nexus 4 lookalike bumper is around $11-13.
Can't wait to see a review for this 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.

Sure why not? This color is only 10.99 + 1.99 shipping from that guy. Came in like 2-3 days. Feels nice and adds barely any weight.

Does the phone sit flat? Ie the camera bump doesn't hit table first and make it wobble.
Thanks! I'm interested for sure.
