Cimo tpu case for both LTE/GSM

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.

Nexus 4 like bumper for Optimus G Pro?

Would love to find a bumper like the Nexus 4 has. Have a white G Pro and would hate to cover it all up with a case. Looked around and haven't found anything. Chime in if you know of any options.

What about the Ballistic case ? That looks pretty solid.

They have many clear cases on Amazon. Both hard plastic and tpu styles.

The only options out there are these two. I think they look incredibly bulky and butt ugly though.

Aren't those the cases with hard clear plastic backs? They generally market those as bumper cases but they show up with clear hard plastic backs which in my mind absolutely does not make them a bumper case.

Any waterproof case out there for Nexus 5?

Can anyone recommend a waterproof case like a lifeproof case or some sort of knockoff or imitation for nexus 5?

Not yet, but probably soon.

this http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/1474003404/Waterproof_case_for_lg_nexus_5.html , but 3 problems
1. there seems to be no covers for the speaker grills, camera opening or the earphone plug
2. the screen cover looks like it dulls and is made of thick-ish plastic so it may become difficult to operate the phone
3. I don't have the money to buy 100 pieces of these...
on second thought I think I will just wait for otterbox or bodyglove to come up with something...

Not sure how waterproof that thing is. There is no port cover at all...I think the seller has no idea what they are talking about.

Only option for a "Water Resistent" case is the Pelican 1040 case. Probably not what you are looking for.

nothing specific
If you need waterproof right now there are generic bag cases such as: Random Generic Water Resistant Bag from Amazon. Which should fit our phones with pretty much any standard case on them.

Still looking for an actual fitted case (not pouch) for N5 which is waterproof. Guess will have to wait a while...

I don't think there is reputable manufacturers out there that is interesting in making ANY waterproof case for ANY Nexus device.
If you search, there is not even one for the Nexus 4.... There are tons of em for iOS device..and some make one for S4..but that's it.

how could that thing be waterproof?

Well, the case itself probably is waterproof, but not the phone in it

Ballistic have made 4 cases for the nexus 5 so far. Maybe they have plans to make a version of their Hydra case for the nexus 5 at some point.

OverBoard Waterproof Case for LG Nexus 5 just found that it might be a safer option lol

It's interesting that LifeProof is not making case for Nexus 5, given that it is one of the most popular phone beside S4.
I like the LifeProof case because of how it looks and function.. it just a case...not a plastic "bag".

Review?
I searched but most people had the hybrid case. I'm looking at the tpu one.
I'm mostly concerned with whether or not the case fits snuggly and not loose. I got mixed reviews on the Amazon page with some saying fits well, others saying loose.
Thx
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Yeah it's pretty good. But mine was a tiny bit loose. I had a black one.

Thx. Was it loose where it was annoying?

Not really, it was actually kind of a good loose. Like it wasn't like other TPU cases that try to squeeze the phone to death, I'd say it's a relaxed fit.
EDIT: Another tip, the logo on the back can be scratched off. Which was perfect because I didn't want any kind of branding.

It was the first case I bought for the ONE.... Fit great!!!
.... The only issue I had was that the thin trim that is above the volume rocker stretched out some and became annoying really fast

New OEM (Google/LG?) snap on cases

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/05/13/google-adds-nexus-5-snap-cases-to-the-play-store/
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.

There is a quick review in youtube

anybody tried this one yet? I am wondering if the case scratches the phone like Ringke or Spigen one.

Which colors of these cases have the rubber like finish, similar to the black n5 material??

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.

Oh wow , even the silver one?? It looks too shiny to be the grippy material, but that's great if so..
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 hear this case also scratches on the edges so I pass this
