0.3mm Ultra Thin Light Cover Case Skin from eBay - Nexus 5 Accessories

Anyone bought this case from eBay and would like to share their two cents on?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blackclear-...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item2587f29e30
Looks like a decent thin case that actually has protection at the top. Looking to pull the trigger on this one.

Wow looks great! Do they have a clear one?

yep. i need that

Thin!! :good:

$5.99?? I got the 0.3mm cases at $1.50 each.
There's also a thread discussing it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2604742.

I have this case, it is very thin, its not TPU but still flexible. The finish is quite good, there weren't any sharp edges on the two black ones I got. The black one isn't see through. I wanted to get a clear one but they were out of stock, but from my previous experience with white/clear cases they discolour extremely easily.
It does get scratched, I have a few minor scratch marks on the back just from putting the phone in the car's cup holder, glove box etc. but you do need the right light to see them.
The case has raised edges around the screen such that the screen wont touch a table when placed flat on top of it. These edges also trap a lot of dust and make it hard to clean.
After a while dust gets under the case but so far it hasn't caused any damage to the phone.
Overall its a good case but you should think of it as a sacrificial item that'll degrade through use. Also, don't expect it to save your phone from a drop. It'll protect the phone from scratches at most.
Hope this helps you guys decide whether to buy or not.

Didn't like it
I bought the case you're talking about. I didn't like it very much. The fit is mediocre. The button cutouts are small, so it's hard to push the buttons. The main issue is that it just doesn't feel good to touch. The material is similar to the textured plastic you get on report covers. Most of this was mentioned in the thread someone linked to above. For me, the quicksand cases are way better and only slightly bulkier.

It looks nice

I'm using this, it's soft plastic. Not even a hard case. So don't expect any protection on shock.

This in my opinion is the best case - http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=46716&cat=5085
combination of hard plastic and softer rubber, while still maintaining the slim profile of the phone. And all the buttons are cut out unlike some of the other cases.
Mesh case. You can search on eBay for Samsung Vibrant mesh case.

Case-Mate Tough Case
I've been very happy with my Case-Mate Tough Case.
As to case, Otterbox all the way. The case looks, feels, fits and protects the phone great. I reccomend it 100%.
For screen protectors, I've been using the ones that came with the Otterbox. However, I hear great things about the ones made by Zagg, Casemate and Real Look.

Case Mate tough case - Soft shell under a hard case. Not too bulky but really makes the plasticy vibrant feel sturdy. People say you don't need a screen protector with the gorilla glass, but I have a zagg screen sheild - very happy with it.

I love the body glove case from Tmobile. The ruggedized case makes it feel substantial and the clip, wich is removable, adjusts to any direction and acts as an excellent grip in both portrait and landscape. Also the clip has a kick stand wich works in both portrait and landscape too, making it so you have no need for a docking station at all. The post wich the clip connects to can be replaced with a block out that looks seemless and adds just another nice functionality of case. Clip and kickstand still retain spring after almost 7 months of heavy use. The raised outer bezel is just high enough to protect screen but virtually unnoticable when operating device.
BTW This screen has no need for a screen protector. The protectors are actually more scratch prone than the screen. Theres several videos on you tube attesting to this(it basically took a utility knife brought directly to bear on the screen to even scratch it).

Ya I hear ya! I go with form over function when it comes to cases. I usually go with no case so this is a step up for me
Cyclops. Surprisingly better than the Otter (unless you DON'T want an integrated screen protector).
That decision by OB was fail imo.

Found my case finally - very minimalist

Let me state it 1st, I like my N5 naked. It really feels good in my hand, but the hard reality of the world is I will drop it, again. 1st time I was sitting on a chair and put the phone on my leg and I said to myself, take it off your leg because when you stand it it will fly off. And boys and girls what did I proceed to do? You guessed it, I stood up and the phone hit the concrete floor on the right corner and kind of popped open. I squeezed it shut and no harm. Anyway, after that I had been looking for a case and bought I think 3 others. They were all thin and 2 with the clear backs and 1 without, but they all added too much bulk and worst of all for me was the fact when I actually used the phone, something sharp would rub my ear and drive me crazy.
So, I had the following criteria; minimal, no top and bottom covering and had to raise the phone up slightly when I put it down on its face.
Well, the new release Ringke Slim going for around $7.99 is perfect for me. I covers the corners so if I dropped it I feel it would absorb the blow. It's raised just a little so when I lay it down it is off the surface. It has no top and bottom so does not hurt my ear and its cheap! I would of paid pretty much anything for a really good case, but I found it for cheap. I still have to put my glas screen protector on, like I say I really like it naked, and with that on it should be pretty safe.
I can't really see anything being thinner, except maybe just a bumper, but I have not seen one I like. I will be leaving the Slim on my phone.
It's a great case for those of us who like a more professional look with a minimalist form factor and the feel of the naked N5 back with an added grip factor. I'm with you
There is a similar case that's cheaper and believe it or not thinner, albeit minor. Bear Motion. I have 2 and while they are slightly thinner and have very smooth edges unlike the stock rearth slim, they are very slippery in the hand. Too slippery for me.

The spigen ultra fit and ringke slim are both good minimal cases. You can't go wrong with either.

Thanks for the additional case suggestions, I'm going to investigate the Bear Motion. I could not imagine slimmer but the slippery factor may be an issue. The slim is not as nice, to me, as the naked back, but not bad in terms of grip.

Yeah when it is new you are correct. How long have you had it? Reason I ask is because after your finger/hand oils get on the case it then becomes very grippy like rubber. At least that has be my experience.
I'd also imagine it can be dependent on where you live and the weather. If it's cold and dry this case could have a little slip to it.

The Ringke Slim is a terrible case. It scratches the device, sharp corners all over it. Do not recommend it unless you want to scratch your phone.

Yes ultra fit is too tight that it scratches the phones corner
I'm not quite sure it would protect your phone from a drop. There was a post on here not to long ago with a cracked nexus 5. In the picture it was wearing the spigen ultra slim which is very similar to the ringke. The glass screen was cracked at the bottom where it took full force of the fall because there was no protection there.

It's the best case I've used so far. Highly recommended if you want a case that doesn't take away from the look and feel of the N5. I've taken the case off and on over a dozen times and I have no scratches at all on my phone corners. As for the sharp corners of the case, about 30 seconds with a nail file takes care of it

Sure it does. It depends on many factors. How high it drops from, how it lands, what it lands on, etc....
This is a minimalist case with form factor, scratch resistance, and looks as the priority. Not drop protection. If one wants strong drop protection then this case is NOT the one to buy. One should then purchase a thicker bulkier 2 or 3 piece "fat case" like an otter box or similar.

It's really a nice case. Very affordable and adds to the grip of the phone. It also looks and feels like the back of the N5. Before offering advice on a product it would be a good idea to try it first

Not everyone has the scratch problem like you guys have had. I have a Ringke Slim and have never had it damage my phone, and I quite like the case. I also switch between different hardcases often and there are no scrapes in sight.
Also, it's unfortunate dice that you damaged your phone from your drop with a hardcase case on it. But don't criticize a person for recommending one because his good experience differed from yours.
It seems you've got some personal vendetta and drive to go into every hardcase thread and badmouth them.

Is the texture matte or glossy on the INSIDE of the case? I only ask because those wet-apply skins get stuck on the glossy cases...

Are you using a White or a Black Nexus? I have a feeling that the sides of my white one will end up getting damaged over time with this case, just because that's how glossy stuff is... Regardless, thanks for mentioning the case and it's nice to hear that the interior is matte. I just wish that there was a case similar to the 360 Spigen case that covers the top and bottom as well, and is matte on the inside.
But for now, i guess the Ringke will do.

I do have the black N5 and the black case, on the black phone you almost have to take a 2nd look to see it has a case. I do like the way on a white case the white would show on the top and bottom. You may be right but, the rubbing of just the day to day may be enough to wear it down. Well good luck in finding a case and let us know what you decide on.

I think I'll have to just settle for this one, as every time a company creates a minimal case such as this (like Incipio's feather line), they will always leave the top and bottom exposed.
I'm slightly concerned regarding the buttons being exposed, but I'm sure that since Google has a rev. 2 variant with better buttons, any issues I come across during the warranty period will be addressed.
I remember with my HTC EVO I had left that it in a Seidio Surface case which wrapped around all sides and it still got dents/scuffs/scratches just sitting in the case because of small bits of dirt or something would slip in. Oh well, such is life

Anyone own the Caseology TPU cases?

Caseology has a lot of sale on their TPU cases, but I haven't found any good reviews by anyone who has a S3. So does anything have these cases? How does it compare to other TPU cases like Diztronic?
I have one, its matte black with a rough texture on the back, its a great case. It protects the phone very well. My only gripe in the back of the case is unusually thick. You would think that the back needs the least amount of protection. I would recommend it.

I like the looks of the case but I fear lip around screen is not too big(based on Amazon reviews).. Been searching for another TPU case to replace my Zoogue case from time to time but I havent found any TPU slim case that has a lip as good as Zoogue
Could it be possible for you to take a picture with your phone in the case that shows lip size ?
Also, how does it feel in hand, slippery or not ?
Thnx in advance :good:

Thanks, it looks good. You mentioned that the back is thick, is the overall case really thick though?
The feel in hands is great I have no complaints for that the textured grip adds for great stability, also if your like me, some cases make it impossible to put in pockets, my case fits fine. No shoving in pockets required it just slides in like butter.
The lip on the phone is not super thick but it does provide enough thickness so your phone's screen isn't flat on the surface if the screen is facing down. The lip covers the metal bezel on the front, it doesn't cover any of the glass.
The back is thick yes, I don't think it needs to be. I think the main reason is the place you can put a business card in case your phone is lost.

What are some good cases for the phone?
I really like my Nillkin Natural TPU case. there are a couple of other threads with cases and pics.
that clear right? doesn't that interfere with flash when taking pictures?
Nilkin Frosted Shield case recommended.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/20134158223...49&var=500540193931&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I have both of these cases as well, and they are both excellent choices. I wish the clear case was a tad thicker, but I like that my phone's back cover is viewable through the clear case (so pretty!) and it doesn't add extra bulk.
Unlike some silicon cases, it has a smooth finish that won't stick to your pocket (it also might slide out of your hand easily enough, if your hand is damp).
There is a cutout for the flash, so I've not noticed any issues with it. The covers for the headphone jack and usb connector are a nice touch as well, but the usb cover on mine seems to not want to sit completely flush. Not a huge deal to me, even with OCD.
I like that the clear case covers the bottom edge of the phone, whereas the matte case leaves it exposed. The bottom edge of my phone already seems to have some wear because of the exposure.
That said, I really do like the feel and color of the matte case (I have red), and it fits a little more snugly that the clear case, IMHO.
I'd like to see a heavier duty case, something like a Griffin Survivor style case with 2-part rubber and hard plastic component. Unfortunately for now, the Nillikin cases aren't going to afford your phone much more than scratch protection but they are nice to hold and are better than nothing! Definitely pair with a nice tempered glass screen protector, if you can find one that fits well, that is...

The Rearth Ringke Fusion case is very good, fits well, I find it comfortable and of a durable material. Helps with the power button as the case plastic makes it pop out a bit and it can be pressed with a lot of ease.

I've read there are issues with the Rearth Ringke Fusion case and the camera's flash. Have you experienced problems in that area?
The Ringke clear case creates a nasty halo on photos whenever you use the flash --- much worse than the Nilkin (halo is barely visible). I still prefer it over the Nilkin case because it feels much sturdier: like it'll actually protect my phone *if* I drop it. It doesn't have a USB port cover on it unlike the Nilkin, though.
The Nilkin case just feels too flimsy for my tastes. I also don't use the flash on mobile phones anyway... most of them are too harsh.
If you really want a subtle highlight when taking photos, have someone else use their mobile's torch app to shine on your subjects
I have this case and it's good. I did a review of it too. Very sturdy and not glossy so firm in hand. Comes with a screen protector $10 buck is a great deal!

I am not a heavy camera user, so I have not tried to see if there is any difference. I have used the camera with no problem. I am very confortable with it, it does its job how it should, protects the phone.

I am happy with the nilkin, actually dropped two times and it did its job (thankfully Murphy played nice on me and it always fell on a corner, if it would drop dead flat, screen first, I am sure it would be dead). The back texture helps holding it in my hand, plastic rear cover of 550 is very very slippery also not much bulkier than stock (already bulky and heavy phone).

As someone who requires a lanyard to keep the phone from flying away while in the pocket ...

... I can always find a solution.
Sure, it doesn't protect the device while it's in my hands,but I have more problems with phones when I am not holding them.
I have the Rearth Ringke Fusion and it does add a glare to pics if the flash is on but good thing I rarely use my flash. Looks like a simple fix just cut the piece of plastic that separates the flash and camera but other than that great protection for the phone for now.
Another happy user of the Nillkin Natural TPU, it's an excellent fit and adds very little bulk to the phone. The edges make it much easier to grip the phone as well. Best case I've tried so far.

Yesterday I dropped the phone from the sofa, about 1 meter, it suffered no damage. I'm using the original Asus bumper case. It's a bit expensive, but has a very nice finish.

Thats the case I have and its great! It also includes a screen protector and a template to cut out a texture or image that can be swapped when ever which I kinda like.

Slim (very slim) case

Broke the rear glass
Top-right corner is totally broken and there's a crack thru the whole glass.
At the moment I put some silicon on the corner to avoid pieces of glass from falling, but I need now a case, a very very very slim one.
Bought one from Amazon that was supposed to be slim but... the problem is that the cover on the two longer sides is too high, meaning it is higher than the white aluminium side. Not sure I can explain...
I'm looking for the slimmest and thinnest case that just covers the back and not much on the sides.
Any help?
Thanks

I had this one and it was the thinnest I could find. The only real protection is on the back of the phone which proved to be what I needed most. It finally cracked one morning I woke up from my couch and did a full stretch putting my phone into my ceiling fan on high. The case initially took a little get used to due to me being accustomed to the excellent grip from the cloth official Google case. In short, is worth the price, absolutely! Would I buy again, No.
I know this one, too thick and on the sides is too high

That's what I have and it's really thin
This is an extremely thin case but not cheap. I have it and it super nice.

Practically identical, and may be exactly what you're looking for. I have both, and love them.

+1 to this. My favorite case, but it scares me to carry it sometimes. Super nice, super thin. Don't imagine it will protect much though.

By far the thinnest one I've owned and the way it fits around the edges is pretty flush. Fits like a glove and feels good in the hand. Not really good for protection though if you drop it, but more like a wrap to keep it from getting dinged up.
I can post a photo of mine later if you want one.

I'm actually interested in getting this exact case, but in Wine Red. Are there any issues with screen protectors? Would appreciate a photo as well.

I no longer use glass screen protectors, moved to Skinomi(best screen protector I've found so far).
When I did use them, I used curved ones and the case fit EXACTLY to the edges of it. Everything fit like a glove.

Good to know. I also use film screen protectors (currently using a Sparin one, as the Spigen was sold out at the time) as they don't have the issues that tempered glass ones suffer with curved screens.
