I found this on Amazon, it's a Nexus 5 bumper, that's a replica of the official Nexus 4 bumper:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JBU27WO
Has anyone here tried this case yet?
If it wasn't $23 I would go for it. That's too expensive for a bumper.

Looks awesome. I would certainly buy it, but since its a replica, its not worth the $20 to produce hence it wont last as long as I would like it to.
Overprice. Another month and it gonna be around $10
Its all over aliexpress for much cheaper. Like $3.50 to $15 depending on the seller and how many you buy. There do seem to be different kinds of bumpers on there for the nexus 5, and the nexus 4 clone is the more expensive one.

Looks like the price has gone down to $12.99 before shipping now. Was going to order one from Aliexpress, but maybe I'll get this one now.

If you could point me to a link where it's $3.50, then I'd bite. I'm not seeing anything that low on aliexpress, even with multiples.

The $3.50 one is a different style bumper. The Nexus 4 lookalike bumper is around $11-13.
Can't wait to see a review for this one.

I don't think replicas are worth being over $10 before shipping. With it being a bumper and not a case, even more so.
For me, $8 - $9 with shipping included is probably the highest I'd go.
I got this in the mail from the amazon seller today. I'm very impressed with it. The buttons feel great and the texture on the rubbery parts is very grippy.

Nah, not really. I ordered from Amazon on Friday for $99, found it in my local Best Buy for the same price, and picked it up locally for around $104. But hey, it's a good case. Unless you need a kickstand, it's probably a better deal than the iBLASON case-- especially after the price drop.
The I-Blason case is a better deal.

I ordered one today, but sadly the discounted one through MobileCityOnline was out of stock so I paid the regular price from Amazon.com, although I didn't get hit with sales tax and will have it tomorrow via Amazon Prime so its a trade off.

I like the look and function of the poetic slim case, but can't wait until the 23rd for it to come in stock.
I'm thinking of just ponying up the extra for the Asus sleeve. I like the thought of having it protected in transport but using it bare. Using it at a stand is nice too.

I'd make sure that fits before you buy it. The Description doesn't list the new n7 which is Taller than the original. That is just a generic 7" tablet case made by Asus.

That's the case I'm waiting for. I have one (actually, three) for my OG Nexus 7. Poetic's customer service is fantastic.
Thanks. In for one.
The Slimline is pretty cool. I had one for the first gen N7. The quality isn't the best since it will start to fall apart at the ends, but they have a 3 yr warranty. Every time I contacted them, they would send me a brand new case. Can't really beat that... and for $6 shipped ain't bad. I paid like $20 for my first gen.
I just got a black one. The colored ones are like $14, which isn't bad, but I already bought a Portenzo that I plan to use.
thanks in for 1 black one.
It costs an extra $18 to ship to Canada. That's ridiculous.
Ugh. Best bet for us Canadians would be eBay.

I like that this case shows the nexus logo on the back of the phone.
I had this with my N4 but the buttons were too hard to press, then I sold my N4 and didn't keep up with the news, did they fix it?
Hopefully this one doesn't come with a billion weld/scorch marks.
Just wanted to mention that I ordered this yesterday. Even though the listing states in stock October 31st, I got a shipping confirmation today from Amazon.

Ermm.. I purchased this assuming it wouldn't ship until the Nexus 5 actually came out... It shipped out on Friday??? lmao... I hope they got the dimensions correct...
I think for Rearth, they just print/generate the shipping label in advance so it's ready to go out once the final product is done. I recall that's what happened with their Nexus 4 cases. But if the tracking number actually shows something is moving, then awesome!

I hope you're correct that they just generated the shipping label. I'd feel better if the case came after the phone was announced.
