http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/lg/nexus-5/bugdroid-circuit-intelligent-wallet-for-nexus-5-red-blue
I used this intelligent wallet LIGHTLY for less than 2 months and I already see wearing and rips and tears on the wallet. I do not recommend it at all. I contacted customer service and I got no replies. It's a nice feature to combine a wallet with the phone but on top of the wallet tearing very easily, the phone gets VERY bulky because not only do you have the case now, you have to add the extra material to make it a wallet and even more space for the cards/cash...
If you keep it in your pocket, please check out the wallet in person before purchasing it like I did. I would never go back to a wallet/case again and especially with this particular one.
This is a great case for people with a purse or people who don't mind carrying around a case that wears very easily. The idea of it is great and I loved it until it wore out very quickly and with tears. This case is not for me at least...
EDIT: I forgot to mention, within 2 months, the case that is hot-glued to the wallet is coming off already. I feel at this point, I should just rip off the case from the wallet that is barely hanging on (can provide pictures) but I want to keep it to see how long it will stay on... from the looks of it, at most 2 months and this wallet/case is done. The case should be salvageable but will have the sticky residue from the wallet being hot glued to the case...

And an other unhappy customer here! Exactly the same problem. Although I don't use the nexus too often and I take care of it a lot. Did you find any other case?

So one point you made was you are mad because they designed a wallet case like a wallet case ? Am I understanding you ? You said its too thick since you have to put money and cards in it. Well isn't that why you bought that case ? Its like me complaining that my Porsche is too fast.

Have to say that, that case looks cheap. Thanks for sharing info about this one. Seems like only good flip cover is going to be the LG official.

Why haven't we seen any of these on Ebay or for sale on any phone website? I would like to pick up a few extras just to mess with and make custom back covers but it seems as if we only have the one extra our phone came with. Due to the fact the entire back is the battery cover it lets us change the whole phone without a case.
I highly highly doubt that there will be additional battery covers in the future.
When was the last time a phone came out with extra battery covers a LONG time ago.
I know a lot of people would like them but it's probably not going to happen. Everything now is based around cases.
The fact that tmobile included an extra cover with the phone is great but rare. I don't even know why they did it.
I think he means more like replacements or extras, to mod or paint.

Yes or different colored batteries covers , im really looking for a stock white colored one i am looking into painting my own but would rather have one factory made.
I was hoping they would have this as well. I mean, they can probably fabricate it pretty easily. I would buy a rubberized back for 10 bucks and forget the case.
These are not battery covers, but silicone that goes over the battery cover. I have one, and they are nice. Not too much thicker and with a better "grip."

I like the glossy slip. With the white Korean phone maybe well get some.

I agree plus it doesn't have the stupid cut out on the corner. I'm really happy I got mine.
I have this and i can testify that for the price is is 100% worth it, i use it as a backup case but it's great if your on a train or plane journey, you can just watch a video and leave the phone resting.
Got mine cheap from eBay but definitely recommend this case even as a backup but you can use it as an everyday case.

It's rubber not really hard but hard enough.
for that price you can't go wrong, it's great to have with you if your going to be watching video,etc i have it as a back up case as i mentioned, of course it's not the best case your gonna get for the GS2 but for the money it's absolutely fine and i recommend it.

This case is great for its price. I even use it as an everyday case. It looks a bit ugly but is very handy when it comes to the kick stand
Camera ZOOM
Has anyone found that cases that came with a optic zoom, like there's a lot for iphones?? Example:

or this one

So I'm one of those people who can't just go with a full case because I love holding my phone in its natural naked condition. I know when a phone is new, manufacturing of accessories can take a while, so I patiently waited a few weeks until I started my hunt for a decent sleeve or pouch. Here's the thing: a. I can't stand the belt-clip pouches b. I hate anything that makes my phone feel bulky c. I want it to be aesthetically pleasing. Picky right?
Anyway, after trying the usual Amazon and Ebay, I tried various keywords in Google and FINALLY came across this site that I had never heard of before. They were the only ones to offer a leather case for this phone that actually looked decent and fit my criteria. Free overnight shipping, great excellent customer service when I didn't understand what the holdup was (the rep politely told me it was pre-order season, and they'll have it soon)
This thing fits snug and feels great. The only downside to it is that when I just tried to stuff it in there aggressively to test it out, I noticed that it would start to vibrate a few times and restart. I know that its because of the power button being held down even in the sleep state, so I tried it again, this time with love? (so to speak) Gently placed it in, and every time I did, no issues.
One more thing I will mention is that if you're looking for a case for protection, this isn't the case for you. If you're pretty good about taking care of your phone and just want a nice pouch/sleeve to go with it, this is a great option. Attached are some photos and when I bought it, it was $24.99, I really like it. Below is a link as well, hope this helps anyone who's interested in a similar case.
(I believe they upped it to $29.99 now)

Thanks for the review. Looks nice! I can see in your photo it looks like the leather case is so snug it's kinda almost pressing on the phone's power button. I guess that's why it rebooted the first time you shoved the phone in there. Maybe the leather will stretch a little and loosen up with time and use.
Hi there.
Iv been looking for a case for quite a while now and to be honest i dont really want one. So my next choice is a skin for the phone.
Before buying either the Ghost Armor or Skinomi TechSkin.. i was thinking of making one myself.
How you might ask? Well my Dad has all types of vinyl and a vinyl cutter.... He makes signs.
What im looking for is a template of either skin or a template (dimenstions) of the phone itself so i can design one myself.
If it all goes well ill take a few pictures of it and post it up here.
I havent had much time to search for a template/dimenstions since i only thought of it now.. and im going a sleep pretty soon. I would be greatful if anyone could help me out.
Last resort would be to scan the phone with a scanner lol...
Thanks.
I just done some quick free hand work of the back cover and a little bit of the side..

Dont mind the color.. i just picked it at random from lots of different ones haha.
After tonight im free for four days.. so like i said before.. any help on finding some sort of template etc would be very helpful.
Thanks.
edit:
I was event thinking of doing a full 1 piece skin.. which covers the back and sides since i never remove my battery or sim.
Bump... no on?
Im finishing work in a few hours and would love to start straight away
Honestly for $15 you can't beat gelaskins. You can use any image you want. So basically the sky is the limit.
I just don't know if it is worth all the time and energy since gelaskins is so affordable.

reported for close request.
Got it today. Feels good, hugs the phone nicely and doesn't feel too bulky. Only thing is power button Is a little deep. Other than that it's good.

I had gotten the carbon fiber version of that, but returned it because it did not play well with the stock charging cable...Also the fingerprint cutout is too small to properly read my middle finger [emoji2]

I was thinking about getting this one but opted for a different one with a kick stand. It does look as nice as I'd hoped though.

the hole is too small though (but I make it work anyway )

Yes it does. Not something I use but whatever. Protection is good. Case fits very well.

While I say leather will protect well as gel... those easily scratch.... and leave the impression =3... that would bug the heck out of me....

its not leather, its plastic with leather feel lol
not bad in my opinion. we will see what happens with time. favorite case so far.
I have this one too. Use it as a daily driver for 10 days or so on my Sprint V20. I like the idea of emergency credit card and copy of my driving license are always being handy and hidden inside of this case. I see folks complaining about inconvenient cutout for fingerprint scanner or something. IMO, it couldn't be any more comfortable, I don't recall having a single reject from it, works flawlessly and superfast! The only con that Tridea's case is slightly bulky and being in combo with enormous phone is quite a task to manage single-handed operations! I might search for something skinnier (and may be with card compartment on a back) later on, as phone has basic drop-protection itself!
