Anyone purchase this case in any color? Reviews seem real good and it has cut outs for all ports. I just ordered the white on eBay for 7 bucks. I'll update if anyone is interested to know more about it. If anyone owns this case a quick review would be great. Here's the link to the amazon one so everyone can look at the case.

I've got that exact one for my LTE Nexus w/ extended battery. Fits great, adds hardly any bulk plus it provides better grip than stock.
Awesome. You got the white or black? If white, for how long? Hoping the white doesn't go a yellowish tint like I've heard other white tpus get.

White. Only had it for a week but it hasn't turned yellow yet lol.
Is the fit really that good for the LTE? Can you take some up close pics of the screen edges please?
I will once I get mine. But all the reviews on the black on amazon give it real good ratings becuz of fit and cuts. I state black but they are both identical

It fits perfect. I have a LTE with extended battery. There is a slight lip so the screen won't touch anything when you lay it face down. No idea where my camera is so I can't take any pics.
is it just me, or do these seem exactly like the Diztronic but without the branding?
This is what it seems like to be honest. The diztronic without branding. I own a matte diztronic and I like it but I've been wanting a white case. Plus the case without the branding is a plus for me.

Thanks. Would appreciate if you can also mention the "bulk" it adds compared to the diztronics. Might be exactly same bulk, less, more... whichever it is, I'm curious to know.
I have both the Diztronic rev 3 case and the white cimo case. If you set the two cases side by side, you can not tell the difference, the Cimo case just does not have the emblem that is on the back. Minus that they are virtually identical. I have the matte black case for the diztronic and i would say that both these cases are the same, jus not branding on the cimo case.
Alright so I got my case today and to me its a diztronic without the icon on the back as mentioned. The case causes a lip so if placed face down on the screen, it will be lying on the case. Side by side they seemed identical as well, diztronic and this case that is.

It looks like cimo got banned for spamming
I was researching because I have seen people skin black iPhone's (bleh) and such to be white and I thought it looked awesome. I found a site that has a very huge reputation and customer feedback that now supports the Galaxy Nexus! I already ordered my white skin! These are awesome because they do not add any bulk and look legit!
Will post pictures of just a few examples, they have 8 pages of skins though! 9.99 for the skin, not bad at all just an FYI for anyone that also wanted to do this,

I'm looking forward to your review.
Looks good but a no no for me if notification led is covered. Mind you The white skin would look brilliant with white theme.
you can just use a hole puncher to make the led notification.
if you want it all white, soon there will be white nexus shells available and mercury (korea company that makes cases and protectors for mobile phones)makes the multi colour screen protectors for many phones including the nexus are already available.
Looks sweet, looking forward to your review!

Not very good at making holes could ruin it. Shells will probably make significantly bulkier which I don't want.
I will probably wait for feedback on skin.
I got mine from skinit.com
i will post pics in few minutes i made really similar design as i will have on my phone just waiting for my invisible shield to arrive

this one is my friends (i made the design online on their site and he applied on his phone for now) he said it was easy , and skinit is better since you can do your own design.
I much prefer using gelaskins myself since they only seem to be the ones that cover the full back of the nexus while other sites just cover the battery door and a strip underneath it. Plus like many other sites you can make custom skins for yourself with custom designs.
Plus they are a local business. Gotta support the local economy

I mean the actual frame/shell, not a protective case that goes on top.
noticed this case no pics yet but probably will be similar to iPhone version so should have a nice minimalist design ... doesn't look like it comes with the screen protector though...
also only $4 shipping to Canada... just need the actual phone now...

Weird. Thought that the dimensions of the N5 were smaller all around compared to the N4. Guess not the length.
Or I guess it's pretty much similar considering we're comparing a case, which is larger, to an actual phone.

i think the FCC dimensions were a bit off in the height.
i took the official render from Google and thew it into AutoCAD and dimensioned it out. its quite a bit taller than the N4, but width wise it is pretty similar.
but the case makes things look funny...i know for a fact the N4 is wider than the G-nex...but my G-nex fit in the case fairly snug on the sides. it was still maybe .25" taller than my G-nex.

I like the look of these. I wonder if they'll scratch the corners up like the Ringke does ...
$30 and it doesn't even say Nexus on it?!?!
Come on Google... It's basically a Ringke Slim or Spigen Ultra Fit for more than 3x the price. You could of at least slapped on the Nexus branding.

But...but it has the "Google" logo on it!! that must be worth $30 /s
I actually prefer the Google branding. I don't think I'll ever encounter another person in real life who will know what "Nexus" refers to. Anyways, these cases look to resemble the crappy Spigen/Ringke hard cases, and not the incredible sandpaper ones on eBay. We'll have to see who decides to drop $30 and put up a review.
Looks too similar to the lg thin cases. I'm surprised they'd even put these out.

Only thing is that the LG Hardshell protects more, the top is not covered at all with this case and the bottom is also less covered. I don't understand why they try to sell this product for more money with less protection/functionality. Must be a mistake
Waiting for the review, Wondering if the material is matte or like slipperty specially for white one.
I'd buy this if I live in the US. I'm a google fanboy.

To me, these cases appear to be more flexible than the more rigid Ringke cases for example, judging by what I see in the video posted above.

I'm especially excited to hear the white is the rubbery style, as the white lg hardshell is slippery..

I bought the older black Google Nexus 5 OEM case with the "Nexus" logo on the back. I got it on eBay for last week for like $14.00, but it kinda sucks. I shouldn't say it sucks, but definitely not my style of case. I prefer as minimal as possible, where this case has much more bulk and a thicker lip that goes over the glass. Another thing I don't like is the volume & power buttons are covered. They aren't too hard to press, but it's different for sure. I knew I should have bought the LG minimal case. I really liked the pictures and reviews. I got caught up in wanting the "Nexus" logo on the back. I was blinded!

I recently bought a Red Aluminium bumper case for my phone and it looks awesome on my phone just think about Red with Black combination. I will upload some pictures soon so that you can forget about buying a expensive case.
I have uploaded the pics and the last one picture shows it is red in color it is not pink. It is just because of the camera of Canvas 4 that the case looks somewhat pinkish.

I am about to buy a wood skin for my phone, you ever used skin on your phone as I am unable to decide dark wood or light coloured wood is best for black N5??
Both are nice depending on which you use. Dbrand is my first choice and for color, I'd opt for the darker one

Yeah, it looks good, but there are spigen and caseology cases that have a clear back that look great with a carbon fiber skin. And the signal isn't degraded with plastic.
Are there any rubber/plastic bumpers for this phone (don't want to hurt signal)? I never found any. The Google bumpers are just regular cases..
