I ordered the yellow bumper case on the Google Play Store once it was released. However, I'm having issue with it loosing its color, and getting dark on its edges, with a completely normal use. I tried cleaning it unsuccessfully : this seems to be a plastic-related issue. Here are some pics I just took:

Google Play customer support doesn't care a damn, and I just received a kinda unacceptable answer from them without even trying to investigate the issue, which translation is:
As *** previously told you, we can’t refund or exchange this bumper case in any way. This decision is irrevocable. As such, please do not to risk loosing your time insisting.

how dirty are your pockets / wherever you're keeping the phone? rubber will stain especially with transferrable ink clothes (denim) or dirt.
but yeah, that CSR response is absolutely unacceptable. you should elevate it to a higher level.

Clean pockets of black jeans, made with black cotton. But however transferrable the inks might be, I wouldn't expect the rubber of a $35 cover to stain **that** quickly (less than 3 weeks). Especially when my old white Samsung rubber case remained perfectly white after more than a year in the exact same pocket.

Wow, agreed that the CSR response is unacceptable. I manager a sales office and if anyone of my reps talked to a customer that way, they'd be written up.

The issue is caused friction rubbing off the color coating. Unlike most cases these are not solid color cases - they are painted.
I intentionally scratched mine (not pictured) and it is white underneath the gray/discolored area.
Does this happen to the red one? or is it as noticeable as the grey and yellow.

That doesn't make sense to me. Tpu cases aren't usually painted. The reason it looks white is because of the contrast between the dark strain and the light grey.
It's most likely the colour rubbing off from your jeans/trousers.
I had a white tpu case that had blue corners when I wore blue jeans and black corners when I wore black jeans
Looks like a rotting banana haha but that is unacceptable for a case that costs that much. I'm surprised they won't help you deal with it either.

Guys
Guys don't buy colorful cases if you are slattern person,if you are neat that's fine. Those bumpers especially colourful ones are an accessory. If you want to defend you cell, go and get otterbox or lunatik (dunno something that is made for protection, i know that right now there is not so many cases like that) 35$ costs a beautiful neon accessory image case.

Hello everyone. I just got a Speck case in gray/black and thought I'd throw some comparison photos up. So far I love my Speck case.
The Speck case was a little tight around the volume key, which made it hold the volume up button down. I slipped a piece of paper in above the volume key and now it functions perfectly. Hopefully it'll stretch out with time and allow me to take the paper out. I'll keep you guys updated. The Speck case is a little bit more bulky than the Cruzerlite, but feels more solid.
The Cruzerlites were a little sharp around the edges which peeled my screen protector (Flex HD) up. I sanded them down a little, which fixed the issue, but i managed to scuff the inside of the back up a little. That's what the line around the top corner is in a few of the pictures.

I got the clear/white Android cruzerlite case and the Cimo case.
I can't really recommend the Cimo case, but the Cruzerlite ones are awesome. Adds just enough grip and protection without turning the phone into a huge oversized brick. (I accidentally dropped my sgs3 about 3.5' getting out of the Jeep and it just bounced - no damage to the phone or case. And they have just enough lip on the face to protect it when you set it down on mostly-flat surfaces.) Someone was telling me they are made in the USA, which is an added bonus if true.
I love those Speck cases, but I swear your "grey/black" looks different from the "soot/black" photos elsewhere. Maybe just the lighting or because it's on a white phone.
I do believe I'll have to run into my local ATT store this weekend and pick one up.
Where did you get the clear matte one? I cant find it on amazon, i found the teal but not the,clear matte. Would you guys say get the diztronic clear matte or cruzerlite?

I found this case at Amazon for less than $10. It's white rubber/TPU on the sides, and the back is clear, slightly frosted polycarbonate (but not 'blurry' - see the images below), very similar to the Griffin REVEAL case available for the iPhone and other older models. The back is solid, and the buttons work well through the rubber sides - a good alternative for people who like the look of bumper cases, but want back protection and want to avoid the discoloration of clear TPU cases.

Beautiful case (like most white TPU) but you're sorely mistaken if you think it won't discolor like the clear ones. It actually will look worse as it sticks out more on a white background.
Don't believe me? Take a picture of your case in two weeks and update the OP. One week if you're a smoker

I've had it for almost a month, and these photos were taken today - haven't noticed any obvious discoloration yet... I think the rubber is a little thicker/less porous than TPU. I don't keep it in my hand all day (usually on the desk). I had the clear Diztronic case first, and saw discoloration in days with that one.

Well, it's still plastic, so it will scratch if you try hard enough. Mine has a few mild scratches, but they aren't deep enough to be noticable without looking for them.

I thought somebody might ask that! It's the elago M2 mobile stand - it comes in black and silver. It's solid (solid!) metal; I also have the larger one they make for my iPad.
I just found a Nillkin Nexus 5 case on eBay. I really enjoyed my Nillkin Nexus 4 case. I'll be posting a review of it once it makes it to my doorstep from China. I'm purchasing it because of the unfortunately sharp edges on the spiegen ultra fit case I tried first. (Don't buy that spiegen case! You'll be sorry)
Edit: Alright, I finally got my case. It's great. Feels just like the case I loved so much on my N4. The edges aren't too sharp like the spiegen I had. The back texture is nice. It feels like rubber coated plastic. If you guys want any pictures or want me to try anything with it, just let me know.

From what my Nexus 4 case is like (same manufacturer) it feels like soft rubber on the outside and a little harder on the inside. I think it's probably all rubber though. Maybe it's rubber coated plastic? I'd highly recommend it whatever it is based off of my previous experience. If this is like the other one, it holds the phone slightly off of the table if you have it screen down too.
^ I didn't have a problem with yellowing because I got black last time :laugh:
Loved their case on my Nexus 4. Will definitely get this
How well are the top and bottom protected? It's hard to tell from the pictures but it looks like if the phone was dropped on an end you'd have some damage?

You're probably right. If the phone were dropped on the back top or back bottom it would probably be okay, but it doesn't offer much protection for the front. It's mainly a scratch protector for those that don't drop their phone often.
Im going to order one today also. Was hoping Rock also had their cases out but doesnt matter. Can always buy one when they do!!
Was going to grab a white one for my white phone but I do think it will go yellow after time, as mentioned earlier in this thread.
Logic says go white for white phone, but either way, the back is going to be covered by the case so what difference. Maybe ill go a gold case for a change?

Now that sounds interesting :highfive:
I actually like my Nexus logo running landscape on the phone like stock. I wonder if they can cut that out?
Since screen protectors usually cover those top and bottom areas, would you basically not be able to take off the screen protector without taking off the skin? Would you even be able to use a screen protector underneath? I feel like it might be elevated.
I have many leather bound books. And my phone smells of rich mahogany.
I couldnt resist. lol

Btw, it reminds me of some locals here whose specialty is making bamboo case for phones
It only costs $20-30 each and you can put whatever pic/text you want

Hey guys, got the cover this morning and below is a link to the photos. I haven't put the front face cover on yet but placed it on the phone for the pictures so you can get an idea. The white ash color works well with my white Nexus as it isn't that visible at the seems.
Installation was straight forward and wasn't too challenging. One concern is if I will be able to pop out the sim tray, but will test that when I get home tonight.
let me know if you have any questions.

Installation was straight forward and wasn't too challenging. One concern is if I will be able to pop out the sim tray, but will test that when I get home tonight.
let me know if you have any questions.

Lookds good. How is the feel in the hand? do you feel the edges and all that?
The feel is good. It is less slick than the stock white back, so I don't feel like it is going to slide out of my hand. Also, although subtle, you do feel the grain in the wood which is a nice touch.
Regarding the edges, there is a small seam between the back piece and the side pieces that breaks the continuity but it is something that after some use I doubt I will even notice. The edge of the side that is facing the screen is a bit more noticeable, but nothing too concerning, it is a piece of wood after all.
All in all, it is very well made, I especially like how the single back piece is designed to wrap over the curves of the back plate.
Just bit the bullet on a bamboo front and back for my black N5 will update with a post when it arrives!

How long did it take for them to ship it out for you? I'm a bit anxious, and I ordered it Saturday night and paid for priority shipping, do you think it'd be wrong to expect it by Friday?

I ordered mine on the 5th of February and it shipped on the 12th, which was 5 business days. I didn't do priority shipping and it was delivered on the 15th. When I ordered mine, covers for the white nexus were shipping in 3 to 5 business days which is what I got. I do recall there was a message that said black nexus covers were taking a little longer to fulfill, not sure if that is still the case.

Just installed mine and am very pleased with it. It has a really nice feel even if the edges on the wood are a bit sharp, not too sharp though. I installed the front cover on top of a glass screen protector with zero issues.
heres mine with ebony ..looks and feel great in my hands
When I originally for this case, I www super happy with it.
It wasn't bulky, it fit snugly and it kept the panda aesthetic of the phone (the whole reason I got the white version).
Less than a week later, it's.. stained?
I work from home and don't go out much so I'm not even sure what this is. It's sitting on my desk most of the day.

I've never experienced something like this on any cases I've owned before. Only yellowing after 9~ months of use on some lower quality cases.
Has anyone experienced something like this?
No, is it from your clothing?
Looks like lipstick

No, it's not.
I posted it on reddit too to try to figure it out. Someone suggested possibly sharpie or pen ink but I've not used any and my phone usually sits on my desk (I work from home and use a laptop exclusively for work)
It just happened today but I have no idea when / what it is.
I've tried water / soap, rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover and none of it seemed to help which is making me question what it is even more.

Reddit took me down that rabbit hole already
Considering that its about the ugliest phone ever made, wouldn't it be better if you just got something opaque?

I like the panda look in the back, the whole reason I got the white version
I know it's ugly but it's my kind of ugly

Please don't refer to this milkish monstrosity as panda,
THIS
is panda
or this
Your example there is milkish, lightgrey, a joke. It's not white, it's not black, it's a monstrosity. Not to speak of this strange lightgrey upper portion that makes no sense at all. All that Google had to do was to make the upper portion uni-color black, but they failed, spectacularly.
I loved my Panda Pixels and it's a shame that Google buried them.
Ugh, I could start ranting about the P6 color choices this year, again.
It's a shame that we got to chose between dull, strange and sad.
Every color dulled down to the bones to some greyish, milkish madness; no saturation, no hue, no beauty. It's like a colorblind 80 year old decided on this years color palettes by randomly smashing his fingers on the "chose color" button at the end of the row, where the ones reside that nobody likes.

If you hate it that much slap a dbrand skin on it.
I originally got the stormy sky official case and loved it at first. However, after less than a week it started getting loose and shifted around the phone. There were even visible side gaps where dust and lint could get in. I got a Spigen Core armor to replace it which is way sturdier. That said, I liked the look and thinness of the official case. I'm considering the Bellroy leather case which was made in partnership with Google and looks to be a similar size and fit.
