Anyone have any experience with these? They just released the Nexus 5 version http://toastmade.com/Android.html
Tempting! Here is a video review:

The edges look terrible though... ugh.
If it’s a 3M, how come it is a REAL wood?

Now that sounds interesting :highfive:
I actually like my Nexus logo running landscape on the phone like stock. I wonder if they can cut that out?
Since screen protectors usually cover those top and bottom areas, would you basically not be able to take off the screen protector without taking off the skin? Would you even be able to use a screen protector underneath? I feel like it might be elevated.
I have many leather bound books. And my phone smells of rich mahogany.
I couldnt resist. lol
Must-not-tap-buy..
Sh*t, I'll gonna take one
Btw, it reminds me of some locals here whose specialty is making bamboo case for phones
It only costs $20-30 each and you can put whatever pic/text you want

Dunno if they can make one for N5
I pulled the trigger this morning and order the white ash one. I ordered the front piece too, but not certain if I will install that piece. Will keep you guys posted when mine comes in.

Yes, please post pictures!
Hey guys, got the cover this morning and below is a link to the photos. I haven't put the front face cover on yet but placed it on the phone for the pictures so you can get an idea. The white ash color works well with my white Nexus as it isn't that visible at the seems.
Installation was straight forward and wasn't too challenging. One concern is if I will be able to pop out the sim tray, but will test that when I get home tonight.
let me know if you have any questions.

Lookds good. How is the feel in the hand? do you feel the edges and all that?
The feel is good. It is less slick than the stock white back, so I don't feel like it is going to slide out of my hand. Also, although subtle, you do feel the grain in the wood which is a nice touch.
Regarding the edges, there is a small seam between the back piece and the side pieces that breaks the continuity but it is something that after some use I doubt I will even notice. The edge of the side that is facing the screen is a bit more noticeable, but nothing too concerning, it is a piece of wood after all.
All in all, it is very well made, I especially like how the single back piece is designed to wrap over the curves of the back plate.
Just bit the bullet on a bamboo front and back for my black N5 will update with a post when it arrives!

How long did it take for them to ship it out for you? I'm a bit anxious, and I ordered it Saturday night and paid for priority shipping, do you think it'd be wrong to expect it by Friday?

I ordered mine on the 5th of February and it shipped on the 12th, which was 5 business days. I didn't do priority shipping and it was delivered on the 15th. When I ordered mine, covers for the white nexus were shipping in 3 to 5 business days which is what I got. I do recall there was a message that said black nexus covers were taking a little longer to fulfill, not sure if that is still the case.

Just installed mine and am very pleased with it. It has a really nice feel even if the edges on the wood are a bit sharp, not too sharp though. I installed the front cover on top of a glass screen protector with zero issues.
heres mine with ebony ..looks and feel great in my hands

EDIT; I am placing all of the pics I've posted in this thread below and removing them from later posts. This needed cleaned up plus it should make it easier for people to get a better idea of how they look when you get more than one and trade out the parts. More colors and pictures in the next few days...
I just got one of these and so far I have to say that I am impressed. The plugs that fit the earphone jack and the hdmi/micro usb ports fit remarkably well. I think that I would like it more if the colored plastic piece were a little less slippery. But it is the 'rubberized' plastic so it isn't that bad.
Another EDIT; After owning this for a few months I have to say that the plastic hasn't turned out to be that slippery at all. Just about right for staying on the dash (ish) and getting it in and out of my pocket. And I've decided it is more of a 9/10 to me. And for 10 to 12 bucks shipped, what's not to like.

(Thanks to my Wife for holding the phones for me.)
Awesome, thanks for the review. I was just looking at this case maybe like 2 days ago.
Could you answer a couple of questions? -
- how good is it in protecting the phone if i drop it for example?
- how much thicker does it make the phone look?
- is it possible that the part of the case which "clips on" on the front of the phone can leave scratches?
- does it come with a screen protector?
THANKS!

Edit; Pics moved to original post.
- how good is it in protecting the phone if i drop it for example?
Not sure. Haven't dropped it yet. But as you can see it is a two piece case.
The corners are doubled up with both the plastic and silicone. So I expect the case to take the hit, and not the phone.
- how much thicker does it make the phone look?
Not much.
- is it possible that the part of the case which "clips on" on the front of the phone can leave scratches?
The silicone is between the outer case and the phone, so not a problem.
- does it come with a screen protector?
Nope.
On a side note. I am ordering another one, maybe two. I like the fact that the pieces can be mixed and matched.
Also, It is a little more difficult to use with the docks because of the flap, but not impossible.
Hope that helps.
looks like a good case and there are many cool colors combinations...
i might take one of these.
thanks!
Great review, thanks a lot. And for 2 bucks I will definitely have to try it.
Interesting. Does the silicone case feel good without the hard part?

I removed the hard part and messed with it a little. I guess it feels ok. Without the molded plastic the silicon part is pretty loose. The sides are extra loose. The ends seem ok at best. I don't think that it would just fall off or anything while holding it. But going in and out of a pocket might be a drag.
thanks I think I will buy one on amazon, price seems more interesting

Yeah, the price looks good there too. I don't have Amazon Prime so the shipping would add 3 bucks to the total. Makes it around a dollar more than the ebay price for me. Another example of why I really need to kick Netflix and get Prime...
only certain items get "prime" status, on the case i would have to pay the 3 dollars even though i have prime
just depends on the seller on amazon
I've got this case since 4days.
Good quality/price, the silicone alone feet not so good but with the hard part it's ok.

You'll like it unless you are docking the phone constantly. It will dock, just not very well. I don't dock mine much so it isn't an issue. I ended up getting the black/red and the red/black cases. Now I can mix and match, and have a totally red or black case or leave them as they are. I really dig it all red or all black tho.
so this case can be use with the HD dock too?

Well sort of... You have to hold the rubber thingy that covers the mini usb and hdmi sockets. And once you get it in the dock the fit isn't that great. Loose and wobbly, but functional. Other than that it's a great case.
I do love this case alot i have the all black one
I got an outterbox... was actually disappointed in it. I dropped my phone from about 5 feet, bobbled it till it dropped, and it ended up landing on the top side. I picked it up and saw no physical damage, but the digitizer was not responding toward the top. The notification still works, but just underneath it to about a half inch below all the way across doesn't work. Screw you outterbox!

The left side of the screen seems to be a little thicker than the left side, I can tell by the visible screen area seeing the cut off edge. It doesn't bother me much. Otherwise edge to edge size seems to be pretty good, minimal gap coverage.
It does a great job covering up alot of the crack I have in the screen.
Sensitivity seems to be perfect. No issues there with touch. The black color has a metallic speckle to it. So I think it looks great , finish wise.
Sadly no home button decal , so the home button is recessed. I might order a separate aluminum piece on ebay.
I did remove and reapply the protector a few times to try to get it aligned the best , which is possible to do. The edges can get damaged underneath since that is where it is painted/coated or whatever. Luckily this is black so I can just touch up with a Sharpie and it is good.
Fitment with my UAG case is a bit harsh. The case pushes against the protector, and thus spreading the case's molded buttons away from the phone, making them harder to push. I think a little bit of trimming to the case's black portion should help. I just got to figure out how I will do this.
No adhesive in the middle, just the edges. I had wiped the inside middle a few times when i reapplied the protector. No issues.
You can make out the thickness on the left being thicker than the right since you can see the screen cut off on the right.
Fitment in cheap rubber/silicone case.
Fitment in UAG case pushes the screen protector, will need some trimming.
It did an awesome job hiding my crack.
Image is alot better than when i had a standard screen protector on, which had the orange peel look.
I like it, I should order a home button stick-on to bring the level back. I just need to figure out what to do for my case to fit better.
I took my soldering iron and removed a little bit of the lip on the case, helps alot.
ok i went ahead and ordered one of these on ebay, sent request for black
http://www.ebay.com/itm/280959683097?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I'll keep you guys updated on how it turns out, will probably be a few weeks til i get it. The ebay seller looks fairly new since they dont have much feedback, but paypal should have me covered in case anything goes wrong.
This link has some english info on Glasszone http://list.qoo10.sg/item/GRAMPICS-GLASSZONE-PHONE-TEMPERED/405262569

hmm.. no real picture of it on the s3...

If it's made by a Korean manufacturer, the quality should be good. Wondering how this compares to Spigen's GLAS.
i think this should be compared with mercury color screen protector.. if it provides proper coverage, that would rock.
yeah samsung is a korean company isnt it? yeah should be decent

Could you post pics once you get it?? im hesitant on getting this because if its like the mercury cases it might not provide full coverage. I get a 2mm gap with the mercury all around.
I too am curious about this one. I am tired of trying to get the likes of Zagg HD and others to work. Lets see some pics when you get a chance friend.

From this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKxaFenup68 It seems that it might have the same issues as it only has adhesive under the color. When he puts it down and seals it, around 1:45 for the impatient, he only presses on the colored parts. I really want one that is adhesive on the whole screen. My Glas(s) Spigen is coming in by Friday hopefully and I'll see how it works with swype. From what I'm hearing I'll have to send it back.
the fit looks really bad. I can see the white base all around the iphone from the video...
I just asked the seller to send me to actual pics from the s3 and here is what I got from them
Compared to my mercury
I also told them the mercury had 1-2mm gap and i asked them what the gap was and they said it was 0.01mm-0.5mm

that kinda looks like1 or 2 mm gap to me (atleast on the red ones)
honestly that is good enough for me either way. Still waiting on shipping. Also got the Urban Armor Gear case on order, so once I get them all, I'll post up pictures. =)
Two thumbs up for this case thus far.
It is very easy to slide the phone into the case, and it requires just a little extra effort to remove it. The case is a tight fit all around. It feels sturdy and makes the phone easier to hold/grip with its more angular shape. The power button requires just a soft press, while the volume rocker requires twice the effort. The camera lens is protected and embedded ~1.5 mm within the casing.
Not sure if I am forgetting any thing else, but some pictures!

Comparing the thickness between the phone and the case (a little blurry, but you get the picture... no pun intended).
EDIT: Clearer pictures below!
I too got the case today with my Nexus =). I really liked the color and felt it was unique and a nice change from the black and white that every manufacturer seems to be pushing these days. I will agree on the buttons but nothing major. Seems like the phone will be safe should the horrific day arrive when the phone is dropped.
Cheers mates
Looks pretty cool
thanks
I bought the slim armor in black. I really appreciate the photos that you posted if you could post more close ups of the front and back I'm kind of curious about how thick the bezel is on the front mine should be here this week. Kinda wish I got champagne after seeing yours..
I love this quality and type of case. My friend has the same spigen for the S4 and I love the silicon/plastic style case on it. Good to see they made one for the N5.
Thanks for the pictures - mine is being shipped to me we speak . From what you've described/shown, everything looks great! Do you have a screen protector on their by chance? Wanted to know if the sides of the case make it lift off on the corners...
nice. the gold looks sharp, i was spit between that and the neo hybrid....ended up going for the neo-hybrid in gold
the white speaker dot actually looks pretty cool with a case on
FYI I noted in the other thread this case is significantly easier to put on and take off if you leave the two pieces together while doing it.

Hey, no problem. I believe you're asking to see a bird's view of the bezel with the case.
Also took some close-ups of the four sides for anyone who is curious:
Headphone port.
Charger port and speakers.

Left-side with volume rocker.
Ordered the Black, looks like a great case. I like Spigen products.

I agree. The champagne color stands out and has a classy feel to it. Although I have to admit, I also like the white back of the N5. With a case or not, it is a good looking phone!

Solid point! I didn't remove the two pieces at all, which goes to show how easy the installation and removal are.
Nice looking case!
Just a few questions...
What is the back made out of?
Does it collect dust or finger prints?
Does it slide in and out of your pockets easily?
How is the grip?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the pictures. I'm glad they didn't go with the glossy back this time around.
I was wondering once you put this case on is it also easy removeble.
Wen i'm driving in a car i put de N5 in a car holder and with de case on i think it's to thick
for that holder.I just slide the phone in the holder.Not much space is there be left on the sides.
Does it work with wireless charger or too thick?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
A gorgeous case. I don't know whether to get the white or the gold colour way, both are really appealing.
Did you have any issues with the power button as mentioned in some of the reviews on Amazon?
From past experience, does anyone know what of a case thats for people who drop their phones a lot? One thats out now or coming in the future?

I'm curious on this point too. My champagne case should be delivered soon, but as I've just splashed out on (40% off) TomTom, I'd like to be able to mount the N5 on my dash. All my phones in the past have been naked, but since I've paid for this one myself I've got the Slim Armor for "protection". Maybe it's too early for the N5, but looking at other models are there ever solutions for mounting encased phones? Will the case stand up to occasional removal in order to mount on a car dash?
Come to that, has anyone yet seen a dash mount for the N5? Preferably vent-mounted; my last screen mount was broken by an over-eager MOT tester.
Thanks for any response from a forum lurker!

HI everyone
I just want to share with you some impressions about my "balolo" wood cover, which I received about 5 weeks ago.
When I got my Xperia Z3 Compact last year I instantly bought a case in the first few days. But I must say that I prefer to hold my device "naked" in my hands without any disturbing material around the edges. A friend of mine told me to have a look on the products of "balolo".
I ordered a genuine wood cover and engraved it with a picture of me and my girlfriend. In the first two oder three days the cover was smelling like wood (what should be quite normal for a product made out of genuine wood). The quality of the (walnut) wood is very good and also the engraving looks perfect.
But the best thing about it was the price: 29€ for something I expected to cost a least twice of it! After 5 weeks of using it I can´t say anything negative about it (except you don´t like the wood smell in the first days), so from my point of view a clearly recommendation!!

What do you mean with front and sides?
Sent from my D5803
I would like to see how this case wraps around the phone and what material is used to secure the phone. I checked the website but the photos only show the back of the phone.

It sticks onto the back of the phone with a 3M peel-off sticky backing. It's not really a case, more a textured back covering the glass. It won't provide any protection to the sides or front (although I believe you can get a front glass protector with it too - but I suspect that is much like any other stick on screen protector).
I was a little disappointed with this when it arrived, but actually found it looked good, and I could still used the Ringke Fusion case on top to provide some more substantial protection to the phone itself. Actually, the Fusion case fits even better with the relatively thin wooden backing on the phone.
Here's mine. I didn't realize it was just a sticker for the back either, but it looks great without adding thickness to the sides of the phone. I think I'll keep it on.
The only drawback is how it adds an edge around the back. Its not a sharp edge, but you can definitely feel it while holding the phone.

I've applied a concrete skin from Gadgetshieldz. The skin feels so hard in hand and obviously feels super grippy. the texture of the skin is hard as the concrete. Take a look at my Galaxy S10+.

Yes it does feel like concrete in hand and smooth at the same time.
Thanks a lot! How are the edges and buttons made? Would you mind sharing pictures of that as well?

The headphone jack and speaker and the side button have cutouts, No issues with cutouts. You need some patience in order to apply the skin. If you done this you're good to go.

Thanks for the Info, Will try the skin for my S10+.
I got a red carbon fiber skin from Phantomskinz that I really like. It's got a nice texture of carbon fiber. It came with a skin to go over the glass around the camera, but there was an issue with the wide angle hole not being wide enough, so you could get glare from the skin in pictures. I emailed them about it with pictures showing it was correctly installed and showing the glare, and now waiting on a replacement skin to arrive later this week. Besides the wide angle camera though, it's been really good and even fits inside my UAG Monarch case I use at work.

Quality wise, it feels really good to me. I've never had a skin on a phone before, so I don't have much to compare it to. The material its made of feels sufficiently thick enough to protect against any scratches to the back or sides of your device (the skin wraps around all 4 edges, and even has a little piece to go over your SIM card tray so you can still remove the tray). My replacement one with the modified wide angle cutout should arrive tomorrow (4/11/19) according to USPS's tracking, so I'll post back tomorrow on how well their new camera hole size works. Customer Service wise, I'd definitely give them 5 stars, seeing as I emailed them a complaint about their design and within 24 hours they had fixed it and shipped out the redesigned version and even replaced the screen protector since I had ordered "case-friendly" and then found out my case doesn't require "case-friendly" screen protectors. In my experience these days, that quick of customer service and turnaround time is damn near unheard of.
Also of note, their film screen protectors do not have cutouts for the front cameras, and from my testing between my phone and my wife's S10+ with the stock screen protector still on, I see no difference in the quality of pictures. They say on their site though that if you wish to have a cutout for the front cameras, add a comment to your order and they will ship you a screen protector that has a cutout in it.
EDIT: I'll take a picture of the skin tomorrow with my wife's phone. At work for the night and can't take a picture of my phone from my own phone, lol. xD
While I know this won't be everyone's cup of tea but here's a skin I ordered from SopiGuard. Best part is I ordered on Monday and it was delivered today/Thursday, 3 days!

Apparently USPS just really hates me this week. I have 3 packages from 3 different parts of the country that shipped on 3 different days, all of which seem to have disappeared after they left the city they shipped from. Oldest one was shipped on March 21st and should have arrived 3 days later according to initial USPS tracking, and yet it still hasn't arrived. Says "in transit, arriving late" :crying:
Hopefully the skin will arrive next week. Not the seller's fault, something horrible going on with USPS I guess.
