Hey guys! Does anyone know of anywhere to purchase a Doctor Who Tardis Case for our Nexus 5 that is more than just a picture? I think it would be cool to have the case look like the Tardis but also have the squares/windows have a bit of texture to them to add some grip. Does anyone know if there's anything like this out there? If not, would anyone be interested if I started a kickstarter like campaign to make them for not just the Nexus 5 but others as well?
Let me know what you guys think!
Thanks!

Ya I saw these ones. But I was wondering if people would be interested in a case that had depth to it. So instead of the back being smooth, it would actually have ridges and pockets and such. This way you have extra grip as well as a tiny Tardis Replica on the back of your phone. It would increase the phone's thickness but not by much.
i have the spigen ultra hybrid case then printed the tardis image =======

That looks really nice! Maybe I will just do that. I drew up the tardis case in solidworks and I think im going to have a local shop 3D print it for me to see how it looks. It makes the phone a little thicker but not by much. They are less than $10 to have printed too! So I will see how the plastic looks and feels for a phone case.

ikr. lol. i cant do a perfect circle using a cutter.
It looks pretty cool.
So this is the kind of thing I was talking about. This is just a quick draw up of what im thinking. i will put more effort into the design if I end up making it into a case, but from here on it will take a lot of time probably and I don't want to move forward if i'm gonna only print one for me. If you all would be interested or know anyone who might be, then I would put some time into it. Let me know what you guys think!!
I'm in, if you make a proper good looking case, I'll throw some money your way

I'll let you know when it actually arrives
From the looks of the pics it looks like the battery cover is slightly thicker than the stock cover, so it should protect the camera lens from scratching.
thanks ! have been looking for these for a while !
I'm actually after a spare stock rear battery cover. Anyone seen them being sold online or at a shop?
Thanks! I'll buy the black one, because I don't want to scratch the original one.

I dont think you could scratch the original one even if you tried. Its made of perforated plastic and is rough to touch anyway.
I think these might be cool for parties etc
Depending on the price I'd love to get a yellow and green one!
Well I actually bought the white one, will post pictures/comments when I have it. If people are interested
Here you can buy an original one:

Yes please. Im interested in the White one and would love to see how it looks in real life.
Ordered a black one just because it has the Galaxy S II logo on the back
Should look nice with my translucent black TPU case.

Nice link, shame the only colour they seem not to do is the one I want (red)
I'd like to se e metal ones. Maybe somthing the same colour as the metal on the outer rim of the phone would look good.
I would be very interested in one if these if they played nice with the Zagg invisibleShield FULL BODY maximum coverage or easy install. The stock back has the texture which makes the invisible shields look like junk and peel.
Anyone want to be my guinea pig?? =D

If the price was right, it would be cool to be able to switch the back cover to suit the colour of your wallpaper. $13 seems a little steep though. If it had been $6 I might have gone for a couple.
Interested to see what they look like in reality though.

Here's my take on a case I picked up for my Inc 2. Feel free to leave me any feedback you have or ask any questions. Here's the site for higher res shots. LINK

When it comes to a case for my smartphone I’m pretty picky, however, the Gloss Black TPU Cover Skin for the HTC Droid Incredible 2 is hands down my favorite. It offers style and protection without breaking the bank which is a major plus for me.
The case is not made of the same material as your typical silicon case so you don’t have to worry about it stretching after time and not fitting your phone as snug as it did on day 1. It’s made out of a material called Thermoplastic polyurethane, which is why it won’t stretch like typical silicon cases but still offers incredible (see what I did there?) shock absorption and abrasion resistance.
It has cutouts for all the buttons and ports with the exception of the volume rocker. Some say it’s a little difficult to adjust the volume but I haven’t had a problem with it. On the interior of the case it has a slick looking argyle pattern, I think this was a way to make two versions of the same case while saving money on materials. I think that’s pretty damn smart and I actually like the pattern on the inside (kinda reminds me of the bright red coloring under the battery cover of the OG Inc).
All in all, this is my favorite case for this phone to date. You can pick it up on Ebay or Amazon and there are more pics after the jump.
It'll take too long for me to post all the pics so check the site if you want to see them all. Thanks. LINK

I just got a case like this today that is made from the same material and its great! I really like how it doesn't bulk up the phone and won't fall off like silicone or plastic cases.

good idea, i'll try to reach out to the company that makes them and see if they are willing to do it.
Whats the chances we will see a flip cover that attaches it self to the phone using a magnetic strip along the bezel of the phone (this is assuming the bezel is aluminium)
a bit like the surface tablet keyboard cover (without the hooks)
will the aluminium be magnetic enough to hold it?
Z
Aluminium is paramagnetic (=very weak magnetism), so it's probably not enough for a cover.
But maybe they install a small magnetic area somewhere inside the cover, so that the flip side can attach to it!? Who knows...

I don't think it'll be 100% pure aluminium. Doping is always done to make such bodies durable

Does the case cover the notification LED? I know it probably wont but its hard to tell from the pictures.
Hmm yeah, you are right. It doesn't look as good as I have imagined. I'd have to hope for a better quality flipcase. Or I'll get poetic bumpercase. Not sure.

I've just checked for you and it partially covers it, but it could be different with someone else as the front cover moves so it might be a slightly different fit :good:

Cheers. This could be a deal breaker for the flip case if it makes the LED redundant!
Has anyone got any Tetded cases for their nexus 5 or for any other of your phones? As I'm wanting to buy one but want to know if it's worth it in terms of the price relative to the quality of the case and other general views on it.
The one I want to get: http://www.tetded.com/home/en/nexus...-lg-nexus-5-d820-d821-dijon-iii-lc-black.html
No one can help me out here.....?
I have seen the Tetded cases on N4 phones and generally have good reviews and is priced in the medium range. From the pics I recall the leather being good quality feel, (don't recall if real leather or not on the N4) and fitted the N4 nicely.
Why don't you buy it and do a review to help others out
I have not seen the exact one you have mentioned but I have seen a bit same of a kind that my friend owns...he got it from Amazon and it was a bit similar to it

Yeah it is kind of expensive but I think it's worth it to an extent, its similar to the LG quickcover but has a clasp which keeps the flap closed, so that pleases me knowing if it does drop the flap won't just be swinging about and and drop and and damage the screen.

Yeah I was looking at that one too but the nexus 5 is a sleek understated phone, and the peanut butter and jelly one isnt understated and so that went off my list, the blue one is just troubling me because it does look nice but I'm thinking will keep the look of the nexus 5, the sleekness, the class and simplicity of it, I don't think so, so I think I'm going for good ol' black

Wow looks very nice.
Playing around....Took a picture of bamboo cutting board at Target. Photoshop'ed it with the OnePlus logo and printed a 4x6 from it. I didn't really cut the camera hole out very well but I have another photo to try again.
Enjoy.

Very Nice!
Just a suggestion regarding the camera hole "notch" on the supplied template. I don't cut out the "notch", I just flip the template over after trace over it again to fill it it. After I cut it out, I put it on the case and mark the camera hole with a pen then use a small hole punch. Looks much better IMO.

I saw you do that in your picture and it is beautiful indeed. I wanted to do the same but I lacked a tiny hole pucher to do it. I could have done it using a pen knife but I don't trust my cutting skills.

That thickness tho...
Very cool stuff. I will have to order one of these cases. I have some carbon fibre vinyl around here I could put to good use. Chrome would look good as well.
