Sorry for the double threads but I figured this will be better to get opinions. Can everyone say their favorite case for the lte version gnex? Pictures would be great. Also is it a dust magnet? My last case actually scratched my phone a lot by drawing dust into the case.

my favourite is .....
this is called case mate creature case. this is pure silicon(high quality..not like your usual cheap eBay silicon cases)...lil bit of dirt magnet....the best part is the design engraved on the back of the cover...protects the phone very well...no scratches whatsoever...

That's a great work case I'd imagine. I can't seem to find a nice small case
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Unfortunately it seems that the case makers jumped on the gsm version and assumed the lte version would be close enough.
Even with its problems, the ultra hybrid is still my favorite. It's pulled away a touch at the top and the back does get a little loose when hot, but it's not really that bad. I like how it doesn't have cutouts for the buttons, which I like. It feels the least like a case of any I've seen.

Has anyone see or heard about this? is it worth getting?
This one appears to be much more protective than the original gel case..but im not sure? With the 50% coupon im thinking of getting it
Has no one tried this new case from samsung?
Case looks good but Samsung support sucks if the case gets screwed. So I will not buy it from them ever

I don't have that (yet) but I have 4 other Samsung cases and they are my favorites.
Cut with precision. High quality. Trust me.

lol damn, I've been checking around for it but no luck so far (only can find it on the Samsung site). If you happen to remember where you found some let me know
hey if you find a link for this case please post it i'm very interested in picking one up. thanks:good:
I was hoping samsung would get these back in stock to use the 50% off code.
Amazon shows them but, out of stock.
Anyone else find them?
I made mini review of this case:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35341606#post35341606
I'm really surprised that I haven't seen anyone mention anything about this fantastic case!!
I've had one, maybe two, of these cases previously for other phones. It was a few years back, and don't really remember how I liked them. But, they have been selling them for years now, and for most major phones, so I figure they were doing well. I had been through page after page looking for a case that caught my eye. I never could really find anything that suited me, and was about to settle on the official Google (non-flip) case. Somehow, I came upon the Incipio website and found the dual pro. Went ahead and took the plunge on the blue/dark grey version.. I COULD'NT BE HAPPIER!!
Seriously, this has to be one of the best three cases out for this phone; and, in my opinion, it is the best one out. I also have the .13mm Mime glass screen protector; it fits like a charm and has no peeling issues. The "lip" of the inner silicone part of the case actually goes over the edges of the screen protector. Almost as to "protect" it from chipping/peeling.
Does anyone else have this case? If so, what do you think about it? I might can find a camera to put some pictures up if anyone is interested.
Interested! Put some pictures up.

Their cases normally make it to a UK seller eventually but their international shipping is only $8 that isn't too bad. Enter the coupon code Fall14 for 15% off too.

This. Also the silicon got very lose after a while and dust and debris would get trapped between the case and phone easily.

I have this case in black. Its a nice case but the silicon part of the case is loose. When you take the phone out of your pocket, the silicon pulls away from the phone. The buttons are nice on it tho and the case isn't too bulky.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Most cases are made of some weird rubber, either they feel cheap or they get stuck in the jeanspocket.
Some cases look great but they always tend to build so much bulk..
Has anyone tried an alu bumper like this one? Looks great atleast..

It looks great yeah but 35 dollars is too much for just a case which is why I didn't buy the official one. If it was a battery case for that price or even a little more like 45-50 then it would be worth it for me

With battery cases like this. You will lose a bar or two on cell phone reception as well as wireless. This was the case for the Galaxy S4. I believe you will lose the function of NFC as well.

Your belief is wrong.
NFC works just fine.

The nexus 5 version will be similar to the note 3

How protective are aluminum cases though? I feel like TPU/plastic combos would probably protect the best since it absorbs shock better than metal.

Why does that one bottom corner stick out like that? I'm guessing that's how the case clamps together. Seems like it wouldn't feel very nice.
Yeah not bad, but I'm not a fan of Florida sticking out of the corner there. Always making a mess of things!
Also with it being an Aluminum bumper, I'm pretty sure it's aesthetics only. That's a relatively soft metal, especially with how thin is looks. Any real bump and it will probably dent/scratch easily. It's like using a thicker version of the HTC One as a protective case.

I am holding off as well. Even with the screws, not sure if it'd fit in my Seidio holster without scuffing the crap out of it. However whenever I visit this thread and look online at the pics, it seems unbalanced to me because of the screws.
Waiting for feedback on the aluminum bumper. I'm interested to find out if the bumper keep the back of the phone off of surfaces. It looks like it wouldn't protect the back of the phone at all.
Just ordered this from Shopandroid.com for 29.99. Looks to be higher quality than the moko/poetic, but cheaper than the dodo/portenzo/buk group. Will update when I get it !
Edit: Case arrived! See below for a video walkthrough and NFC\Wireless charging video

Hi there. Just curious if you've received this case yet. This looks like the exact case I may be looking for. Something around the same size, but better quality than the Poetic Slimline/Moko Ultra Slim. I'm curious if it stays closed using magnets like the Poetic/Moko. I've been reading, but it doesn't say anywhere.
Edit: NEVERMIND. I found the answer shortly after posting this. Unfortunately, it doesn't stay closed with any mechanism. Deal breaker for me. Thanks for the heads up though.

Yeah, mine is set to arrive tomorrow. I'll try to make a short video when it arrives. Good to know about the screen lock. I know it does have sleep/wake, and the screen staying close isn't a deal breaker for me personally, but I understand where it could be.
Cheers!
