Hello guys i m new here . I m going to get a red nexus 5 in 2 days,and i want to order a case from amazon probably. My last phone was xperia x8(lol too old) and it was very good in terms of drop resistance,i have dropped it like 5-7 times. For my nexus 5 i consider buying the official bumper (Sorry i cant use links since i m new here),the cruzerlite persona case ,THE CRUZERLITE BUGDROID CASE and THE TUDIA Ultra Slim Melody . However the last one,which i like the most(tudia melody) doesnt ship to Greece..
Could you guys reccomend me any good drop-protective cases for nexus 5 with a decent design? I dont want something too bulky or ugly. Also does the quality of screen protector matter? All the screen protectors from amazon dont ship to my country,and i will probably have to stick with some local ones.How terrible could they be!?
Thanks in advance. Any help will be appreciated !

Comes in a couple different colors. I had to order it from T-Mobile online (even though I'm not T-Mobile customer), but others said they were able to get it from Amazon.

Thanks for the reply ! In their official site it costs ~30 euro + 7 for delivery so its quite expensive (compared to the other cases that cost around 15 ). I watched the video that u sent me,so it seems its worth it . i will probably get this! Whats the matter with the red case ? ( I saw your comment in the video talking about the red case)
Edit: Why is there space in the bottom ? The phone will break if it lands this way.
IAt the bottom, there's still protection, even though it looks open. You can't get the glass to touch anything. Other people have mentioned this, but they are wrong. They don't own it.
It's only partially open at the bottom, to allow the speakers and usb port some room.
The materiel still runs along the very bottom, and on the front and back corners. Even at any angle, nothing on the phone will touch any flat surface.
Theoretically, if the phone was falling at a very severe angle and hit something small and hard that was protruding up from a flat surface, yes it could hit that.
But I have accidentally dropped the phone on hard surfaces and this case protected it.

Thanks. Ive seen some of other drop tests though from higher places. I cant post links,so if you want to watch type this in youtube : Nexus 5 Drop Test Part 2! (Tudia Melody Case) .
This case for example is much cheaper. But eventually i will probably go with the tech 21 ,i suppose its worth the extra $ . I must be really careful until the case arrives though!!!

I've seen an iPhone in a tech21 case fall 20 feet onto concrete with no damage. But that's an iPhone not a nexus. I own a tech 21, a slim armor, and a ballistic sg for my nexus. Personally I don't trust the tech21 to protect better than my other two cases. I also believe the ballistic will protect the best. I have no science or personal experience behind these statements being I have never dropped my nexus. The tech 21 feels best in the hand but looks like crap because the back is clear and scratches super easily. So I use the slim armor looks awesome and I think will protect against drops. I think the ballistic is the most protective case made for the nexus, but it's huge.

I saw a g2 drop test with slim armor and.. the screen broke.Seriously i begin to think that they is no way to protect the screen ,when dropping the phone.
These were done outside on Concrete:
Cruzerlite Nexus 5 Drop Tests (survives no problems) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY9Svj9fYVg
Tudia Melody Nexus 5 Drop tests (survives no problems) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbaz8FNY34A
Both much cheaper than the Tech21 and both protect extremely well on concrete drops and tosses. If you matched one of those TPU cases with a Tempered Glass Screen Protector such as the Nillkin H+ (I use it, it's fantastic and it's less than $15 on Amazon) you're pretty much covered for most drops.
Nillkin H+ promo video (a little over the top, but you get the general idea) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61fnJu3HZKg
Basically, one of those TPU cases + a Tempered Glass Screen Protector still comes out to cost less than the Tech21 and you have complete coverage.

Ya I saw that one too. I've also read a post here where somebody said their screen shattered while using a ballistic. I'd say you're right, there is no way to guarantee your screen won't break from a drop. That's why I chose the middle ground, between a good looking case and a protective case, and settled on the slim armor coupled with a ghost armor screen protector.

I m not limited ordering from amazon as long as the delivery prices are reasonable .For example ordering from tech 21 site is much cheaper and gets delivered much faster than amazon.Btw Which cruzerlite case would you recommend(in terms of material,not design) . Ebay has some crazy delivery prices ,for some things it needed up to 50$ for the delivery lol. You are right,the nilkin is available from one of the buying choises but it says it needs 2 months to ship ._ .

Colors Availability:
Barely There (6 including W&B) / Feather (6 without W) / Ultra Thin Air: (8 including W&B) / SLIM lite: (5 including W&B)
Hard case vs. Soft case
All of them are hard cases
These are the things that I can compare before I purchase a case. I'm more into Case Mate Barely there because I had a good experience from my old phone, but I'm into Ultra Thin Air as well because of the price. I haven't made decision yet, but you can simply reply your reviews on any of cases above, or use it when you need to choose one of them. :laugh:
you left a very popular one out around here that's cheaper than all of those... the Rock case. added grip over those as well. and it comes in at least 4 diff colors that i know of...

very true. but some of us never drop phones. i'm one of those people
i typically look for a case that will at least protect the backside of the phone. anything else is just extra.

haha mee too! I never drop my phone and my phone needs to be slim! I know hard cases never give much protection, but the reason i'm using them is that they feel nice just like touching my phone naked. Some people might just care more about the design while xda people are more interested in protection!

Ah yes you never "drop your phone" when you are thinking about it.. but then when you do with that thin case and if it lands wrong your screwed.
I hope you guys don't get that unlucky but I won't take my chances with mine
Im waiting for this.
http://www.spigen.com/blog/galaxy-s3-neo-hybrid-case-is-coming-soon/
I've got the Rearth Slim Lite on mine, and it's been working great. Thin enough, and a good "soft" grip feel to the back. And if offers the corner protection I like - the only drops I ever had with my SGSII were when it slipped out of my pocket and hit on a corner...hasn't happened yet . And it fits on both the Samsung dock and the cheaper dock I got on Amazon with the case on - BONUS!
For 10 bucks you can beat this. Looks very much the same as SPIGEN SGP only with some texture

I got the Rearth Slim Lite for my wife and I and it is really nice it fit like a glove and to my surprise it is so slim that it hardly add any bulk to the phone. For those of you with skinny jeans it will be perfect LOL. On the real I will recommend this to anybody who is Not clumsy or have toddler at home because I think the case will only protect from mild drops but will not survive a toddler attack. Hope that helps.

+1 - I've got the red one and it's pretty decent. I went through a ton of cases on my Captivate and my SGS II before (most recent was the Incipio Feather) and this bad boy holds up just as well. Mine came with a screen protector as well - and the most important thing is it came in red, which a lot of vendors seem allergic to (although they have a ton of pastels for some damn reason....).

This is the thinnest case i've seen. just ordered it, i know it will not prevent damage from a fall but i have never drop my phone (i know it will happen eventually). i care more about scratches. I tried the full body xtremeguard and was disapointed since the edges in the back were like cutting knife to my fingers. Also the xtremeguard screen protector was a let down since it creat a rainbow like pixel and take away screen clarity.

my girlfriend dropped her phone about 3-4 feet onto tile floor.
Barely there case actually saved smashing the screen
If you don't care about drop protection and just about scratches to the back, why not just order and keep a battery back cover replacement handy to swap in when it gets scratched? ANY case is going to add some minor thickness since it's overlaying the actual back cover, but if you just swap the back cover then you have a new look w/o the added case thickness.
My only problem is the phones I've had always seem to get worn the most on the outside edges. So I just got a replacement back and looking for a bumper-like attachment to protect the outside edges of the phone and maybe give a small lip so the screen is elevated when the phone is placed/lands face down.
I love the Ballistic Hard Core case

Yes! This!!! I have the exact same case its amazing! Like nothing can destroy this phone with this case!
I used a SGP Neo Hybrid since more than one year but a few month ago the polycarbonat frame is broken so I buy this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Book-Wallet...-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-III-GT-i9300-/271210987593
And I'm total happy with this Case since 2 month!
After trying about 10 cases of varying materials , shapes and sizes I chose the fake Neo Hybrid case since the origional doesn't seem to be available anymore. Build quality is quite good for under 10 bucks and if it breaks itll be cheap to buy another.
UAG is the best!! Very good quality and build. Using it with a 0,4 mm glass screen protector. Beats the plastic ones by a 1000 miles.
+1 on the bodyglove shocksuit!! The shizz.
Spigen neo hybrid now, had an Otterbox commuter for the last year. Like them both but I prefer the Spigen
Got to agree body glove is the best. Good price and doesn't make the phone to big and bulky.

Oh my god yes. the UAG case is really nice. The one thing I do dislike is that the lettering on the back came off within the first week of having it. Still recommend for durability. Btw those who want the case, Slate is a lot closer to the natural GS3 blue than you think!

most of the fake UAG case sell cheap and have letters failling off or just painted on it not mentioning the quality is not the same at all.
im not saying you brought fake one but just sharing some experiences.
also my fav case is indeed a UAG one (Scout/black) i got it from Ebay for 24$ port inclusive from a Belgian seller, i did some investigation because even if its only 10 bucks less than the official store its still suspicious, i did sent some detailed pics of the case and box info/bar code and according to the customer service : it's a original one, nonetheless i spared 10$ on it but i didnt got custom taxes.

Wow, I didn't know they sold many knockoffs. Mine was direct from Amazon through UAG. I think I just have oily skin which made it easier to reduce the sticky solution for the lettering. Thanks for letting me know of that! I might get another just to have more color selection

Otterbox Armour is a close second, but the lifeproof is more practical for everyday use, as it's more pocketable and wireless charging works through it.

exactly what make a UAG better than a Otterbox, Otter are nice but too bulky.
funny experience: i had 2 S3 dropped from my balcony (around 3meter)1 from a friend with a Otterbox defender and mine with the UAG without screen protector both hit the concrete on the lower edge (where the soft bumper is) result : mine nothing the other had a little (very small) crack on the bottom of the screen xD
sorry for the blurry quality xD

That life proof looks really solid but still just a bit too bulky for me. I might get something a bit thicker than my UAG, but first I need a proper full screen protector. I've gone through like 5 because they are dammed hard to apply.

What would bother me - whether the phone will not slode out during call etc.

It's kind of right and firm . No doubt about that . But in another forum a user had stated that it was able to absorb shock and that he has dropped many times

I use a clear Cimo case. It's a little thicker than that one, and costs $10.00, but I'm very happy with it.
Sturdy enough that it feels like it'll protect my phone from a drop, looks good, and still shows off my phone's good looks. There are claims in the reviews that the clear version will yellow in time, but I've had mine for a few months and it's still clear. I should point out that I'm a nightshift worker so the case doesn't see a lot of UV light so your mileage may vary.
i have been using this 0.33mm thin case. initially it has a very dry powdery feel to it.. now that seems to have worn off
i not sure what material it is made up of.. can anyone guess
Ordered, thanks.
Had one of those Cimo cases.. comes w/ the One in the bonus kit if you purchase from costco. It's thinner than most phone cases, but still fairly thick (~1mm ish?). Looking forward to this .3mm
anyone have any recommendations for skin like protectors?
Links are dead. Whats the name of the case on ebay?

I dropped my phone 3 times without the case (luckily not much damage at all.. just minor ding on corner) and then i thought of buying a case before it has spider web screen.

Cruzerlite Bugdroid
I have been using the Cruzerlite Bugdroid TPU case. It has a slim profile while feeling quite sturdy and able to withstand a drop. All my friends who have the OnePlus One have this case. It comes in a very very wide variety of colors, too. The only downside is that it does fade after a while, but it really isn't that bad or too noticeable. The price is very reasonable for the quality of the product. It is easy to find on Amazon.
Hope this helps.

That is a horrible looking case[emoji21] why would you hide the design of your phone with that? Get a Tudia TPU case and you should be fine.... Oh God.

Make sure you get the one I linked to, with the slightly bigger corners, better protection
I've had the Diztronic case for around 7 months now and it's been perfect. Protected when dropped, not too bulky, slight raised lip on screen side to protect screen when placed screen face down.
The only negative I can think of is that it does add a bit of weight to the phone, although I'm sure that is inevitable based on the protection it gives and also the sturdy nature of the material it is made from.

Exactly... you want protection? Then you're gonna feel it
Try a casemate barely there on your phone and see if it protects... makes me wanna cringe immediately
I wouldn't wanna droptest with that on, or any other "lookyoucanhardlyseeandfeelmebecauseIamsothin" case
if you like TOTAL protection i recommend TWO cases TUDIA OMNIX and POETIC. i have the TO and my experience to it is that the covers of the audio and charger ports are not good if you use them for a prolong period of time they dont go back easily i mean there is a small part of the cover that tends to stay open.
FOR POETIC, i saw reviews both Oneplus.net and amazon they say that it is much better than TO it is much thin than the TO and the ports are much better.
Another great feature about the Diztronic is the way it covers the side buttons and gives them a more sturdy feel. I got another case previously and it had cut out for the buttons, but it was a pain trying to press them as the OnePlus One's side buttons are so small.

If anyone is looking to get rid of their OEM orange and yellow cases, I would be willing to buy. Message me if anything.

Just received some of the Clear X-Level TPU case I found and ordered, it is .78mm with clear matte edges all around that feel great in hand.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/YNDccnTmGaIv250z1
The case is similar to the 'MNML' case in that it does not provide a lip for the screen, but it does hug the screens curves to provide a bit more protection in case of accidental drops since it is made of TPU. Dont get me wrong, it is not not a drop proof case at all, but even thin TPU material can absorb more of an impact than hard plastic, and with a good screen protector you're set. The camera is also ever so recessed enough that it wont hit flat surfaces when placed on them. The buttons are also feel great and tactile.
The only thing that may bother some, but doesn't bother me since it isnt that noticeable from afar, is that even though it has the "dot buffer" most clear tpu cases have, it still shows some "water markings" where the case meets the back glass. This is likely because of how thin the case is, and how the back glass curves and melts into the 2 XL's corners. The case will also likely yellow and scratch over time, but that is why I got a small supply lol. I'll be able to swap them out as needed since it will be my daily for a while.
(On a side note) If anyone is interested I would also be wiling to sell some of the extra I have. I know it sounds like an ad for me to sell... but I just feel I got more than I needed.. and it seems these are hard to get in the US for some reason. So if you are just let me know, id do $12 shipped, first class, US. If you want more than one Id do a deal cause of shipping as well! If I have more than one left i want to sell that is lol
I find matte finish slippery and like the cheap TPU L&K case on Amazon much better. They don't get much smaller than L&K.

It actually does. The L&K is about as thick as the Ringke Bevel. I had the "Pleson" version of it (theyre both the same just rebranded) and that is how thick it felt. The X-Level is .78mm thin.
Have a link for where you got it?

I don't, a buddy bought a small lot from gearbest I think. That's why I have more extras than I need.

eBay got the hook-up: https://www.ebay.com/itm/X-Level-Pu...-Slim-Armor-Clear-Soft-TPU-Cover/222698641914
It took 23 days to reach me in Los Angeles from China.
Just got mine yesterday and I love it. I've been on the hunt for a good clear case to show off the phone. I first had the Spigen Liquid Crystal but it added a bit too much bulk for my liking. This one is just thick enough to protect the rear camera lens when the device is resting face-up. My only complaints are that:
1. there is no lip to protect the screen if I want to set the phone face-down (seems to be common amongst slim cases), and
2. the cut-outs are a bit sharp from being unfinished (though really this is not a big deal for me).
The fingerprint reader cut-out is a bit off-center but at a glance it isn't noticeable for me.
Unfortunately after some time (2 weeks) case has weird bluish discoloration.
I'm assuming this came from holding my phone in pocket (jeans).
I have also Ringke clear case and same story, same discoloration.
been using this for more than half year, same as other tpu case, it will turn yellow as time goes by.
