I was looking for a new case for my S3, preferably one that is dual layer but I haven't seen any that don't attract a ton of lint. The defender is the closest to what I'm looking for, however it is creaky when on my phone. I hate the dual layer ones that are really soft silicone. If anyone could recommend a good case that is dual layer and uses a hard rubber liner that would be awesome.
Look at the dba ultra case thread.

Incipio Silicrylic. The silicone is definitely a harder compound than the Otterbox (I've used the Commuter on 3 different phones). It also is a fairly slim case, definitely doesn't add as much bulk as even the Commuter does.
bodyglove tough suit. i just made a thread about it
Just found out that Incipio has been working on a couple cases for the N5! NGP and Dual Pro. No release date yet tho, but I really want that dual pro.

Ya, saw these like two weeks ago, beem checking their website ever since.
Saw couple of websites that have them for pre order

I just wish they'd make a holster. Sometimes their cases fit Seidio holsters.
I always start off liking the dual pro but the last one I had for my galaxy nexus, the tpu got really loose really quick and dust and crap would get trapped under it and scratch up the phone.

I've been using the Spigen Slim Armour since day 1 and I love it (although I still feel like the power button is way too sensitive). I used to use Incipio on my Galaxy S3 and i loved it.
Time to buy a new case, I mean, it's been almost 2 months with this phone, it's about time :silly:

Same here. Been using their cases for years.
Their products are quite expensive but high quality. The soft coated layer on my GNex Feather case still on after 1.5 year of using, while cheap China cases only last for a week.
I'm either buy the LG Hardshell or Incipio Feather. :laugh:
Some good news. The dual pro is available on their website. A bit pricey tho at $30 a pop.

I love the feeling of my Diztronic case but I'm not a fan of the glossy front lip. Looks like the Incipio is a similar case with a matte lip. If that's true I'll be ordering one of these.

Hi everybody.
This is my first day with my nexus 5 and I love it. I have a spigen slim armor case for it and like that to. The only thing is that the lip around the screen is very thin and I do not know if it would protect against a drop. I also have an iloome flex glass screen protector. Do any of you know if otter box or trident will make cases for the nexus 5. I am worried it will break with what I have on it now.
Thanks

Otter box says they don't have any plans on making a case for us. I-bason and ballistic , sedio all make some great cases. I also have the slim armor I feel safe enough with its lip. But on the other hand you do have a glass screen protector which will surly be closer to the lip.

I-Blason Armorbox is what I have. Being an electrician my phone takes some knocks every now and then. With this case on it feels indestructible

Don't have one, but if I have to use it, I would definitely give the Tech21 case a try (you may wanna read through page 3 for more pics)
Some drop test videos in YouTube are quite impressive.
Thank you for giving suggestions. Do you guys think I will be OK with an iloome .12 mm glass screen protector and the slim armor also do you know of and slim armor drop tests?

Its in this forum topic(Nexus 5 Accessories). I'm on mobile using tapatalk so I can't link it. They can be found in tmobile stores for 29.99 and in the tech21 thread (when you find it), some of the last pages, you will find a link with 30%? (I think) discount. Print it out and take it to the store and the case will be yours for $22 bucks

I have the Ballistic SG Maxx too, I love it. It's a little bulky but feels solid. The only con for me is the hard screen protector, I love the idea, but it feels a little odd, and takes a little time to settle on the screen.
I think I might order the AEGIS. It looks promising but I wanna see some reviews first.

I would choose the Ballistic Tough Jacket MAXX (SG MAXX) for protection. I own this case and I am very satisfied with it. The only concern I have is that it attracts lint easily.
From reading reviews, I have learned that the Urbanite's coat of paint can peel off.
The Incipio Dualpro looks cheap and flimsy. The reviews are not good for it so I would not buy it.
i like the Trident N5 case I had a trident for my evo 3d many moons ago.. i always rocked otter box defender most of the time.. think ima go with the trident soon.. looks sweet
Hi,
I've been searching for a good dust proof case.
I am currently using ballistic SG maxx and it doesn't protect from dust
I am at the army at the desert and I am looking for a good way to protect the mic and speaker grills and the earpiece...
Dust just keep finding way to get there and I am finding my self constantly worrying about it...
Any suggestions?

lifeproof said the same thing via facebook that they won't offer a nexus 5 case
I own both the Trident Aegis case and the Ballistic SG Maxx cases. I prefer the Ballistic SG Maxx! The Trident case is a beauty for sure no doubt there but, I found it too slippery to use. It was slippery in the hand an caused me to almost drop it a few times. Unacceptable! Also the bottom edge (where the speakers are) is slippery so you cant rest the edge on a table and balance it on your hand. Unacceptable too! I've had Trident cases for other phones and they have always been great. The build quality is awesome and it looks very nice. The speakers have dust screens on the Trident case which is a feature I was looking for but, the cutouts are too small and the sound gets muffled. Both the Trident Aegis and the Ballistic SG Maxx cases have port covers/plugs The only thing that the Trident case has that the Ballistic SG Maxx doesn't, is the dust screen filters for the speakers. I haven't had a problem with dust using the Ballistic case because it any dust tends to be more attracted to the rubber than getting in the speaker ports. The Ballistic SG Maxx case is really nice and offers a lot more protection than the Trident Aegis case. I wish Trident would come out with a Cyclops or Kracken case I am sure I'd be happy with either of those (if they were not slippery). For now though I will continue to use the Ballistic SG Maxx case be cause of the unmatched protection it offers from drops (already survived a 5 foot drop) and it's not slippery. I'm quite happy with my Ballistic case and I can not say that about the Trident one. I highly recommend the Ballistic SG Maxx and in my opinion its the best case available for the Nexus 5.

Unfortunately, Otterbox has no interest in making more money or caring about their (ex) customers, so they don't make cases for Nexus devices.
I have the SG Maxx like you, and the only way to solve the dust under screen protector issue that I've found is to install a different screen protector. Just be careful so the sides of the Maxx don't push up off the screen the sides of the screen protector.
What about the Seidio CONVERT Combo?
As in topic. Say which case are you using ( if you are using one ) and what do you think about it.

I was rocking the black slim armor from spigen I got when the phone first came out. Great protection, not too bulky, protects the camera, and has a small lip on the screen so you can lay it down on its front with no worries.
I like it so much that when I heard that the bright red was more orange than red. I bought it in a heartbeat.
Only other case I got was the Ringke Fusion, works just as great and has a clear back. but dust kept getting in the back in between the case and the phone for me at least. Didn't like that...

I have a tech 21, a ballistic sg, and a spigen slim armor. They are all great. I tend to use the slim armor more being that it's smaller than the ballistic and looks better than the tech 21. The ballistic is definitely the most protective case made for the n5. But it's quite large. The spigen slim armor is still very protective and looks absolutely beautiful. The build quality is top notch.
for me, no doubt: Spigen Neo Hybrid
I am thinking abou slim armor. Its pretty expensive over here but it looks really great and people say that it is safe for our device
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I have both the Ringke Slim and the Neo Hybrid. The Slim is my choice even though it doesn't cover all of the phone. Its slim and almost makes you forget that you even have a case on the phone.
The Neo Hybrid is a good case and just adds more bulk than I personally wanted. Its not to the level of an Otterbox but still some bulk.

ZeroLemon Rugged Battery Case
I purchased a ZeroLemon 3500MaH Rugged Case. It is by all means not a slim case. it's essentially a big ole brick of bada$$ery.
C shaped connector plugs into your Nexus 5 and into the battery, Hard plastic shell with a built in screen protector snaps around that, then rubberized fits around that, then of course a belt clip lol. I'd say i'm a centimeter off from a full inch thick lol.
I currently don't have a case, but I'm looking for recommendations. Can anyone recommend a case?

If you like slim cases, I really like the Ringke Fusion Crystal View case. http://www.amazon.com/PROTECTION-FUSION®-Absorption-Yourself-Technology/dp/B00H3OUGI2
It's completely clear to let the beauty of the N5 shine through. (especially if you have the red or white N5) It's a little bit softer than the Spigen version, has good grippiness, and probably more "bounce" if you dropped it.
