The large horizontal belt holster works just fine for me, If not a bit thick for the phone. Perfect length and width.

i asked tech21 regarding the cases and SP. they said there are currently no plans to make these for nexus 5 at the moment. hmm.

just to let you guys know, bell store in yorkdale mall has the flip tech21 cases in stock for 34.99

anyone see these cases in the US?

Does not matter since they are not making anything for the nexus 5 . they sell them at best buy for the iPhone and Samsung phones.

Released!

I'm loving mine. Picked it up at my local T-Mobile store. It fits like a glove and doesn't add excessive weight/bulk to the device. I'm very happy.

I was for a little while. After a week or so of use, the buttons feel much more tactile and I can actually feel a slight click when pressing them.

A friend of mine got the case a few days ago an the clear back already has quite a bit of scratches on it which is why i decided against it. It is a nice lookin case tho

All cases with clear backs will get scratched. It all depends on how much you take care of it.

Heard about those cases when I still had my iPhone ... They worth anything ? Beside the really cool marketing ...

Nexus 5 case sale through Maxboost

Just so that you all know, maxboost is currently having a sale on their nexus 5 (and a myriad of other phones) cases. Cases are 9.95$ with 5$ off using the promo code HOLSTER7. This code is to be used in the Amazon checkout. I can't speak to the value of the more rugged looking one, but a few friends have the other one for the iPhone 5 and have nothing but praise. Anyways, here the link:

Good price, put's it more in line with where I feel it is a fair price for the product. I placed an order but cancelled it afterward. They have the item listed as in stock on Friday. However, on their shipping estimate it shows they estimate shipping between Friday and December 5th. I don't want to wait that long for a case.
I already have this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GBZLQ9M/ It doesn't come with a holster but it's pretty solid. I'm mainly looking for holdover cases until the Ballistic is selling for reasonable amount of money.

I think 10$ is pretty reasonable to begin with, so the sale makes it even better. I also already have a case, the spigen neo hybrid. Since I already have a case, the shipping time doesn't matter that much to me. However the case you posted looks pretty good too.

I think the case you posted might be sturdier and the holster is a big plus. The case I posted is sturdy. But, the inside layer is a thin TPU, I just wish it was a bit thicker.

Promo code expired
Just a heads-up, Amazon says promo expired.
Oh well.

LG Hardshell

I'm seeing a few references to what looks like an official LG hardshell case for Nexus 5. Same design on the back as the phone and possibly the same material.
http://ca.shopandroid.com/lg-hardshell-black/4A123A16462.htm
http://www.amazon.ca/LG-AAA75187801-Hardshell-Nexus-Black/dp/B00GGL4XNC

Could be nice, always prefer slim shell cases over bulky ones (although I've just ordered the LG Bumper Case to come with my Nexus 5)

Actually looks the exact same as the "LG Shield " case that Bell has in stock for $20. http://www.bell.ca/Mobility/Accessories
Available in matte white or matte black.

This looks really nice, but they seems only for Canada.
Do you know a U.S website that has this case? Even amazon don't have one.

Looks nice, will they ship to the U. S.?

That's awesome man! Post up some photos and a small review once it arrives. I'm looking at doing the same thing with my black n5.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Awesome, looking forward to the review. I was thinking of jumping on the white as well. I'm just concerned with it being a matte finish.
Anything that isn't black with a matte finish tends to stain easily which is probably one of the reasons why the white Nexus 5 uses a different material. I'm hoping that isn't the case with yours, so I can pick one up!

Which Bell store did you pick it up from?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Looks just like the quick cover, but without the cover.
Honestly, the recessed button would annoy me if it weren't for the cover waking the screen. Its not all that easy to press. Other than that it seems like a great case.

I also ordered the same case (online), and got an email shortly after that it was not yet in stock, but they would ship it out when it was.
I've asked around in a few stores, and it seems like they don't have them yet, either.

I interpreted it as "we don't have them in stock yet". It was pure luck that I happened to be browsing the Bell site for N5 accessories.
I'll post here when I get an update.

Hope these come out in the UK, would be nice to have something slimmer than the bumper case (which is nice btw)

Yeah I couldn't wait for your review! I ordered a white case from the bell mobility site.
We'll see if it's just pre-order or if I get it in a week.

OFFICIAL NEXUS BUMPER CASE 25 percent off of Google Play

Was just browsing for a wireless charger and i have just noticed all official cases for the nexus 5 are 25 percent off on the uk website dont know if its worldwide. But tbh the google shipping cost is still putting me off unless im getting more than one for two things. Just wondering if anyone interesting in OEM cases could it might sound attractive to a few .

Thanks for the heads up but IMO it is still way over priced for what it is.

Awesome! Thanks for the update man. As a new Nexus owner I've been searching desperately for a stylish yet rugged case ever since it came out. Lack of case choices frowned upon me, but looks like a smile has drawn on my face. Hope my mom will order the gorgeous red case, and my fears of dropping my nexus are gone. Time to search for screen protector so

Finally. I have wanted one of these science I got my n5 going to buy it this week

Indeed. Not many aegis case reviews, and no nexus aegis reviews at all.

My previous Aegis Case for the Galaxy Nexus was amazing, gonna get this one for the Nexus 5 but I want to wait & see if I can get it for around $20 on Ebay like the last one. $35 kinda steep for a case in my opinion.

This is a damn good looking case. Not too disappointed anymore that Otterbox isn't supporting the Nexus 5.

I ordered one a few days back & it came in today. Pics and thoughts coming later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Pictures & Thought's
So, with using Trident Case in the past I thought I would go and be one of the first "testers" of the case if you want to call it that lol. The case is great and all but I will be asking for an exchange for another one because one of the problems was that the case wasn't lining up with the speaker & microphone grill. The other noted part would be the top of the phone, the first part of the case & the second part do not settle (no other words to describe, refer to pictures) & that bothers me so that's my other reason for getting a replacement.
Side Note: When I got it, the box was all beat up like it's been crushed. Not sure if Trident is at fault or USPS.
