Not sure which case should I get, please help! - Nexus 5 Accessories

(I'll copy the text from the other thread)
I'm looking for a case that costs ~10-~20 EUR (amazon.de), is good in drop protection (more specifically, the corners, the camera lens and the screen) and just how comfortable it is, would you recommend it and so on.
I also have seen zedomax's CruzerLite Nexus 5 drop test. Do the cases (Androidified A2 like in the video or Bugdroid Circuit) protect as well as in the video (the drop tests aren't fake, right?)?
How's the Spigen Slim Armor, too? I heard it protects well, but after seeing a G2 drop test, it seems to perform not really well in a frontal test. What do you think?
So, please suggest me some. But I NEED AND REQUIRE good drop protection (front and back) and not adding too much bulk making it uncomfortable to use. Of course, good a price too.

How do they do with drop protection?

I recommend cruzerlite TPU cases.

I haven't dropped my phone yet *knock on wood* but it believe its the most protective while still being slim. Has reinforced edges . dual layer and has a lip to lay on the screen. Also the camera is protected pretty well.

I'm using the rinke fusion crystal clear and while it adds more bulk than I personally like its not to bad. It survived a fall off the top of a 6ft ladder actual height was probably 7ft as I was standing on the top rung and dropped it from my pocket on to a wood floor, No damage what so ever. I'm on my second nexus already the first slid off my couch at about 1.5ft and completely shattered the screen.

I have the Neo Hybrid and it isn't nearly as good as a tough case or Seidio cases I have had. Not sure I would recommend it, nothing particularly wrong with it but it lacks the cushioning of a touch case, dilex, commuter, etc which in my experience is a major help in drops. It also lacks their better grip and feel in hand. Best thing that can be said for it is that it doesn't look cheap and it will keep the phone from getting scratched. I had a toughcase on my sgs 2, 3, and 4 and obviously between the phones over the course of years there were a number of drops but never a break. Out of those the otterbox boys claim there will be no commuter for the N5, casemate is still mum but does have one case for it coming soon and there may be hope for the tough case and seidio is just now getting there cases on the market. Myself I have a dilex coming Monday which should prove better than the Neo I have now and if Casemate gets the toughcase out I'll buy that in a heartbeat. Easily the best I have ever owned and I have been through a number of cases looking for a better mouse trap over the years. Otterbox quality seems to have gone down over the last few years and their commuter is bested by the tough case anyways making them a poor choice even if they did make one. Seidio I haven't had in a few years so for me the jury is out on them till I try the one I have coming now. Previous cases I had with them were good however.
None of these would help you though if you want screen protection. The only real way to do that is a pouch or a wallet style. Those have their own issues.. The pouch is great when the phone is in it but does nothing when its not and you tend to drop the phone when you're using it, not when its in its pouch in your pocket. Also its another thing in between you and answering a call. Wallets have the advantage of being on the phone when it falls but these can be among the thickest of the cases and some people hate having to fold the flap over to use the phone. I'm one of those, the protection is great but I find them too annoying in use. This is something you have to try for yourself to see where you stand.
In the end no case is perfect, each style has its compromise and you are going to have to choose which ones you want to make personally because you cant have it all in one case.

Grab an otterbox commuter. It's protect your phone well and protect your phone from dust too as it has the cover caps. It's only add a little bit bulk..^^

I have the Incipio in the Verizon blue. It's fine, but I'll be ordering the OB Defender. Every time I'm on a crowded sidewalk or the train platform, all I think about is someone walking into me causing my phone to drop onto concrete... Chills. Lol

Ordered me an otterbox commuter , Sgp neo hybrid , and Sgp ultra crystal . What is the best screen protector guys ? I been thinking trying to research it but it's confusing . I wanted one to cover the full screen but bought thru phone already so I just got the Sgp ultra clear for now

I currently have a Zagg HD on mine, so far so good. Smooth like glass, unlike their "standard" one which has a plastic feel. Either will work. Have not tried the screen part since I have the Zagg, but I picked up the ArmorShield (supposed to be Zagg eqiv.) and the shield for the rest of the phone is good. Got a good deal on an otterbox so thats going on as well when I get it.

I'm in the same boat as the OP
So many cases around still not sure which one
Here's a few other options as well
Interested in hearing what others have to say

Bro, for seidio active case, the soft silicone part will get loose after few week of using especially the top & bottom part. For case-mate tough, my brother using casemate tough case, drop once from 3 feet high, the hard shell break. :crying:
Conclusion, grab a Commuter or Ballistic SG and you can't go wrong with both of these premium case. :good:

I have casemate and OB. Both are great. Just switched back to OB today...its better than the casemate. Close but I will stick.with the OB.

I have the Acase. Originally, I was going to get the speck dual layer case, but I looked at the review from the acase at amazon and it seems better. I also looked at the retail price and its "retail value" seems more, so that's one reason why I got it. So far, great case. Protects both back and side, and front when placing down on a flat table. One time, I accidentally bumped the cellphone on a side of the table and it grazed the case, but no damage to the phone. Glad I have acase on.
From what I saw, the Incipio is pretty similar, so it wouldn't hurt if you get that or the Acase. Just know that the price point is about the same on Amazon, but the retail value is different; The acase is about 40 and the incipio is about 30. I usually choose the higher price, believing that it is the better quality. But that is my bias.

The otterbox commuter or defender are great cases. I have no problems with the defender buttons, the commuter got better after about a week but I wanted the holster the defender came with. I did however take off the screen protector the defender came with. I also tried the Acase like you show above and it is ok but no where near as protective as the otterbox. Oh and the Otterbox Defender is on Amazon for about 29.00.

Trident Kraken has yet to fail me in terms of protection. I drop and toss my phone to demonstrate it for people everyday. Plus they have quite a few different color options.
Only thing that has failed was the belt clip broke. But contacted customer service and I had a new one in 4 days.
Sent from Pluto.

Go with the Acase. You can't beat the price and the case is great! Nothing against the other cases, but this case is just as good if not better. Hell, you could get two for the price of some of the other ones. Here's my review when I first made purchased it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764709
It's still my all around favorite case. You really can't go wrong with this case.

UAG case for me, I don't have a screen protector but I did have a zagg hd and it was just terrible (actually went through two if them with the same issues). I will be getting a specter glass protector and I'm hoping it will be compatible with my case

Hated my Otterbox Commuter... didn't look good whatsoever, and the button mashing problem was enough to make me return it after two days of use (I know it "gets better" after use, but when you pay any amount of money, it should work out of the box).
Went to the Speck Candyshell and I love it (its dual layer as well).

By design. Impact hits and the outer hard shell breaks apart to absorb most of the impact. Then the case can tumble on the ground with the polycarbonate case with very light impact.

What are some cases to don't suck ****?

I got two for mine, one from PDAir, which is a belt/clip case, and one from tuff as nuts, which is a belt case. The tuff as nuts is great for me because you actually slip it onto the belt - no way it can come off.
Both are leather and excellent quality.

I switch my cases quite a bit. the best for me imo are the Nillkin brand from china. they look very chic and nice. I have the white leather with front screen protector. I had dropped a few of my phones and damaged the screens due to no front protection. Yeah any case will protect majority of the phone, but not the most important part...the screen. ever since I started using thin hybrid covers, never had a broke screen again. The cover I have is thin without the bulk and yet very nice. I get compliments and others want the same for their model phones. Check them out. you can buy almost anywhere ...ebay, amazon. I buy off ebay all the time. even though most come from china, it takes less than two weeks to arrive.

I have to agree with this...
I preordered the HTC One and I have yet to see any cases that I really like. I've kind of settled with the Diztronic Matte case and an aluminum Devilcase bumper. I mean they get the job done as I just need a case that is sturdy enough to take a drop every so often but still be thin/lightweight.
I have to say this is one of my main gripes about the phone... the case selection. (especially compared to like an iPhone)

Received yesterday this one, the Ballistic Aspira in black-lime.
Adds a little more bulk to the One but if you have fear of dropping it accidentally this may be damping well.
Found for 14€ on ebay.

I bought a Body Glove DropSuit and a commuter series otterbox for my htc one. I pretty much use the otterbox all the time, but if I didn't have it, I wouldn't mind the dropsuit. It has easy nice grips and is pretty rugged. I'm not quite sure what kind of bells and whistles you're looking for, but I wanted something that didn't add much size to the phone and would protect it when i drop it.
http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-9342501-DropSuit-Rugged/dp/B00CBSZFX6/

I'm partial to the BadassCase! Here is mine, needs to be cleaned for sure, but this is after about 5-6 months use.

This is what i use. love it
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Transparent.../330949139388?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:US:1120

Wow, I haven't post here in years.
Here is the case that I find looks the best:
ebay /itm/290979521108
It follows the design of the back of the phone itself and is really thin. It may not offer much in drop protection, but if you're looking to for something sleek that will keep you from scratching the hell out of your phone, this is it. It's made of a stiff TPU and is well textured for grip. Feels more plasticy than rubbery but still flexible. Fits as good as it does in the ebay pic too. A really well formed and cut case for dirt cheap. Ships from China but I got mine sent to Illinois in week's time.

The best was the poetic atmosphere but that got discontinued and now impossible to find. I wanted a second one too a blue one

I just picked up a Body Glove DropSuit at Wal-mMart for $16, best case I've had for this phone yet. I got it in Grey, I'm actually gonna go back and get one in black, too. Fits absolutely PERFECTLY, pretty much snaps on over the phone, being a lightly-flexible TPU. I've already dropped it once today, and it bounced once and landed flat. Only thing I haven't liked so far is the volume buttons are hard to push, but that's it. I LOVE it. Super grippy, and the ribbed back and grip blocks down the sides make it totally solid to hold.

This case looks like a tank

Hey guys,
I am late to the Nexus 5 owner parade, but none the less really enjoying this phone. I have not been able to find a good case for it though, most are very slim and cover the back and sides but not top and bottom. Amazon has mixed reviews on alot of the more popular cases, but I'm guessing most of the cases might be hidden somewhere deep in the pages since the phone is a few years old. Any suggestions on a good protective case, something like an otterbox commuter series style versus a defender, I don't need all out protection, just good dual layer setup. I like the ballistic case, but I have ordered 2 and both were labeled Nexus 5, but for the Nexus 6
Appreciate any advice and feel free to post up pics of your setup you recommend if you are using it.

Slim armor by Spigen. even the false one from china are very good quality.

@Ben36 is possible to use tempered glass with that case?

Yea it'd work, but the tempered glass would be under the cases own protective screen. Unless you mean rip the cases screen out all together, which again would work. But i honestly wouldn't say you'd need to. It's protected mine perfectly for 2 years and I'm on building sites etc

ringke fusion or spigen ultra hybrid. imo they've got quite good drop protection. almost 2 years using em.

I actually currently have the spigen ultra on my Z5. It's a really nice good fitting case. No where near the protection of the armourbox but still pretty good. I'd say if the armourbox was a 10 the spigen is about a 6-7 on protection. So if you don't want really rugged and just good decent protection then the spigen is really good

Nice looking, but I would not call it "protective" if you dropped it.

Use Bugdroid Case from Cruzerlite. Best Case. U can watch videos on you tube ppl dropping nexus 5 in it and its a good protection in less then 10$

I have the Tech21 Impactology case, and it's pretty good.

I have had both soft and harder cases from miniinthebox. Cheap and do the job well.

Best Case Brands!
If you need at least a list to choose, here are my picks:
1. Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circut
2. Caseology TPU Case
3. Diztronic Matte Black
4. Spigen Neo Hybrid (Best color is red
So far I have a history with Cruzerlite and Spigen, but I have recently bought a Caseology case from YouTube reviews that were really good.

Ringke Fusion. It's great and holds up well even after 1.5 years of use.

Spigen Slim Armor, durable and good looking. Totally worth the price.

Spigen
Spigen cases are pretty awesome, I have the Slim Armor one on my nexus, work perfectly and hasnt deteriorated after >1 year of use. They also have a lifetime warranty on the case I think so if it does mess up they will send you a new one for free

Any battery cases under $10 for nexus 5?

I've been pleased as Punch with this Ballistic case.
http://www.amazon.ca/Ballistic-Tough-Jacket-Case-Nexus/dp/B00IKYI4BK/
It's bulky and it isn't exactly cheap, but if you drop phones as often as I do it's worth it. Plus it feels pretty nifty in the hand.

So, I was looking for a new skin on my phone when I realized that I didn't want to do a wrap. If you're like me, you'll spend $10 and then remove the skin in like a week. After that you'll have to buy another one if you want to go through the process again. I'm not 100% into cases because of bulk and this is a damn sexy phone.
I scoured a few different places looking for a white thin case when I came across this: ELAGO THIN CASE
Here are my pros:
Fit is perfect
Cut outs are exact
This actually feels like it could be part of the phone
Has a Matte White look
Not TPU, its a hard plastic
Lots of compliments just in one day
Cons (Keep in mind, these are things people may not like but doesn't bother me)
Phone is still a little slippery
Buttons are now a bit more flush with the case
Zero lip over the glass to put upside down
The cut outs are exact so accessories are about 1mm from being perfect
I'm going back for the other two colors. This is an awesome case. Does anyone else have any ultra thin cases they can recommend.

Buy the exact same one just for 4USD.

Good call.
Edit: Just went to the link. I just don't like AliExpress. I had problems with them in the past. 20-39 days for a case when I can get it in 2 days from Amazon, meh... I'll pay the difference.

got this today, it's going back. I have a skin on my phone, the case went on with ease on top of that and was still not snug

Really? That's a bummer. Mine fits perfect and has no movement. I don't have any sort of skin. I wonder if that's throwing off the fit.

It looks just as good in person.

Needs a top and bottom lip. Put your phone face down and it will scratch.

Nope. User a screen protector.. Cases with lips exist. This is for absolute minimalists.

Just went to the mailbox to get the Elago case I ordered after seeing this thread. I'm coming from the Spigen Slim case and, even by comparison, the Elago is ridiculously thin! I love it, but it definitely needs to be paired with a screen protector in order to keep the phone somewhat safe.

It is probably not nearly as thin as that case, but I usually buy Ringke Fusion cases for every phone I get. I love the way it adds the extra tactile feel to the buttons, and has saved me from many drops even on asphalt and hard concrete. I'm not sure how it is on the S8+ yet as my S8+ is not here yet. but I've used Ringke Fusion cases on OP3T, Nexus 6P, Nexus 6, Xperia Z3, and I have loved it on every phone.

Not even close.

Just a heads up. The Elago scratches and scuffs pretty easily. Not that I expected much from such an inexpensive case but, I've been babying my black Elago and, within 24 hours it already has 4 or 5 long scuff marks across the back. Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention. It would've been nice if they had used the same type of rubberized finish found on the Spigen and Ringke slim cases.

Who sets their phone with the screen down?

I love this device and I'm waiting to get the Tech21 case for cheap on ebay for this phone as I loved it on my V30+.
Figured I'll go colorful until then.
I settled on this and it'll be here next week.View attachment 4777486
Got it in today.

This is an excellent 2 piece case with hard shell protection on all corners and a nice soft touch feel for 9 bux. It's very, very close to the Incipio cases I had on my S5. My Incipios have slightly softer tpu, whick looks just a bit thicker at shock points. On the other hand, this case is a little thinner, while remaining tough. It even has more hard protection on the top of the phone, and the plastic case feels stronger for that extra edge.
It's so cheap, I bought both color combos to mix and match, plus I'll have the replacement for whenever the plastic eventually breaks from a fall (even my Incipio cases broke to save the phone).

If you use this, remember to install and remove in 2 steps. Like most good 2 piece cases, the plastic shell holds the phone tightly, be careful how it flexes around the key cutouts during removal. It seems smoothest to remove the power button edge first.
Although the Incipio feels slightly softer, I'm confident the protection of this is roughly equal in everyday use.

Great case. TP around the edges and poly-carbonate back that is clear. Works great with wireless charging. very good fit.

It doesn't have that rainbow look due to the back being glass?

I have the following cases, but am currently just using a skin from slickwraps.
Ghostek Covert
CruzerLite Leather Texture

I have also spent a good amount of time at the carrier shops trying out the overpriced (but pretty great) cases:
Speck Presidio Grip

I really want to see how that CruzerLite looks in real life. It was the one I was torn on before I picked that blue one I've got. I definitely want the Tech21 but it's gonna have to wait until I can find one on eBay for less someday.

I'll take some photos once I'm home. It's a very nice case and I use it when I get tired of looking at a greasy, fingerprinted device. I've have a love/hate with Tech21 cases - they're great protection but they add so much width. I'd say they're worth it if you really want that 10ft drop protection without going to something beefier. I'm a desk jockey so I'm really enjoying the phone+skin and I only slap on a case if I know I'm going to be somewhat active. It's a shame there aren't more options for LG phones. No love if your name doesn't start with Apple or Samsung.

Septembersrain - It does have a few small areas on the clear back smaller than a dime that look a bit extra shiny since they are in contact with the glass. Not rainbow though.

This case is awesome, very sturdy, has a lip to protect edges of screen, slim, supports wireless charging, kick stand on back for propping up phone in landscape mode, 3 colors, perfect cutouts.

Same as you will similar, simple and effective and still showing its colour.

I'm rockin the Ringke Fusion, aqua blue on black. Case does its job. Looks nice. Not very comfortable to hold though.

I'm using the spigen tough armor. Loving it so far! doesn't add too much bulk, but it's a solid case. the kickstand is a fantastic feature

I use TPU cases from X-Level.

Spigen Slim Armor, can't really go wrong with that one
And for $20 it's a decent price imo.

Spigen Liquid Crystal
Spigen Liquid Crystal with a Speck Grab Tab.

literally using the one it came with, thick and sturdy enough and hasn't yellowed yet either (crossing my fingers)

I use these also, they're great cases and work perfectly with wireless charging.

any love for the G8S? i guess not

Im using the Ghosttek case and so far its been what I was wanting. No more sliding off flat tables, or out of my pocket in the car and falling down under the seat anymore. All the buttons work well and has a minimal effect on the overall size of the phone very good case if you arent looking for otterbox style
