Cimo tpu case for both LTE/GSM

Anyone purchase this case in any color? Reviews seem real good and it has cut outs for all ports. I just ordered the white on eBay for 7 bucks. I'll update if anyone is interested to know more about it. If anyone owns this case a quick review would be great. Here's the link to the amazon one so everyone can look at the case.

I've got that exact one for my LTE Nexus w/ extended battery. Fits great, adds hardly any bulk plus it provides better grip than stock.

Awesome. You got the white or black? If white, for how long? Hoping the white doesn't go a yellowish tint like I've heard other white tpus get.

White. Only had it for a week but it hasn't turned yellow yet lol.

Is the fit really that good for the LTE? Can you take some up close pics of the screen edges please?

I will once I get mine. But all the reviews on the black on amazon give it real good ratings becuz of fit and cuts. I state black but they are both identical

It fits perfect. I have a LTE with extended battery. There is a slight lip so the screen won't touch anything when you lay it face down. No idea where my camera is so I can't take any pics.

is it just me, or do these seem exactly like the Diztronic but without the branding?

This is what it seems like to be honest. The diztronic without branding. I own a matte diztronic and I like it but I've been wanting a white case. Plus the case without the branding is a plus for me.

Thanks. Would appreciate if you can also mention the "bulk" it adds compared to the diztronics. Might be exactly same bulk, less, more... whichever it is, I'm curious to know.

I have both the Diztronic rev 3 case and the white cimo case. If you set the two cases side by side, you can not tell the difference, the Cimo case just does not have the emblem that is on the back. Minus that they are virtually identical. I have the matte black case for the diztronic and i would say that both these cases are the same, jus not branding on the cimo case.

Alright so I got my case today and to me its a diztronic without the icon on the back as mentioned. The case causes a lip so if placed face down on the screen, it will be lying on the case. Side by side they seemed identical as well, diztronic and this case that is.

Nexus 4 like bumper for Optimus G Pro?

Would love to find a bumper like the Nexus 4 has. Have a white G Pro and would hate to cover it all up with a case. Looked around and haven't found anything. Chime in if you know of any options.

What about the Ballistic case ? That looks pretty solid.

They have many clear cases on Amazon. Both hard plastic and tpu styles.

The only options out there are these two. I think they look incredibly bulky and butt ugly though.

Aren't those the cases with hard clear plastic backs? They generally market those as bumper cases but they show up with clear hard plastic backs which in my mind absolutely does not make them a bumper case.

Abacus Bumper Case

http://www.amazon.com/Abacus24-7-TwoTone-Bumper-Google-Nexus/dp/B00G6MPPV0
not shipping until the 16th, and no amazon prime but looks like a very nice case and 9 colors options.
Looks like it might be a little nicer than the poetic, and at least looks like some better color options.

The black and "red" looks pink. :c

yeah a lot of the two tones are the wrong colors. hopefully it's just wrong images. i'm either going to get the standard black or blue though so i'm good.

I'm digging the green and yellow

ordered the black! looks awesome.

Curious to see how a bumper will work with a phone with a curved back...

Interested to see how you guys feel about them. Please review when you get them.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Also very interested in what this looks/feels once someone has their hands on it. I'm leaning on this or a Cruzerlite TPU.

I have the Nexus 4 version and I like it a lot. I particularly like the protruding buttons that are easy to press, this is by far my favorite thing about this bumper. The grip is very comfortable due to the textured TPU material in the bottom. It doesn't secure the phone very tightly due to the plastic frames being flexible, but it is somewhat snuggly, I dropped the phone twice and it stayed in. I wouldn't trust a drop higher than 6ft+ though.
Like the oem Nexus 4 bumper, it have a weak spot under the USB port that can break in two, but mine is still fine, I think it would only happen if you constantly remove the phone many times in a day, which I don't do. I don't know how it's going to be with the Nexus 5, but with the Nexus 4 it doesn't interfere or lift the screen protector on the edges.
I use it with the XtremeGuard skin (or tempered glass), together making a very affordable but good looking combination, closest to naked but with reasonable protection. For $10 it's a very good purchase.

Hey nice find! I think Im going to order one, the poetic one looked too cheap, and I think these are the only 2 bumpers available.
Geez, I'm going to have about 5 cases soon, then probably still order the official case when its available...
Phone doesn't even ship till Nov 22 too...

doesn't ship to canada! someone buy me an extra white one please! thanks

you have no idea how old those cases were or what happened to them. Doesn't mean the product is poor the user could have dropped it etc

Thinking of buying the official Nexus 5 bumper case?

What are peoples experiences and thoughts of it? I know it's pricey but kinda OCD in that way where I like all my stuff official. Does it still stay slim yet have a premium feel to it?

I think its a bit too expensive for me. I hardly drop my phone and take very good care of it. But from the reviews online, its a well constructed case with a premium feel. So if budget isn't an issue, you can get that. And it does offer decent drop protection.

I am ordering the Tudia Wav Hybrid. The video sold me. Check out the drop test:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZyLInX4EsM
PLUS IT IS $9.99 72% off the regular price over at amazon!!! :good:

I just got mine in tonight. Will give you feedback in a day or so..
What I read was that the clear coat doesn't last as long and starts to peel...hopefully that doesn't happened...
I ordered the black one and I heard that the color ones is harder to see the peels.
What I like so far is that being that is is official..The case fits so perfectly without messing up my tempered glass screen protector; using iloome flex at the moment, MIME version is on the way

It's pretty awful, the non-black ones stain just from the color of your pockets and the coating rubs off of the black case.
Would not buy again.
Check on the thread regarding the LG hardshell which seemingly does exist and has the Nexus logo on the back.

While waiting on the LG hardshell to become available I ordered some .99 ebay quicksand cases. Some good reviews on this forum and they are simplistic without any branding.

This is what some people have been seeing with their Nexus 5 bumper cases.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5oEj4hJsd0
The finish is peeling, and they have staining and discoloration.
There are better cases out there for cheaper. The only thing this one had going for it was the Nexus branding on it, but if the quality is crap there's no point.

Best case for nexus 5

As in topic. Say which case are you using ( if you are using one ) and what do you think about it.

I was rocking the black slim armor from spigen I got when the phone first came out. Great protection, not too bulky, protects the camera, and has a small lip on the screen so you can lay it down on its front with no worries.
I like it so much that when I heard that the bright red was more orange than red. I bought it in a heartbeat.
Only other case I got was the Ringke Fusion, works just as great and has a clear back. but dust kept getting in the back in between the case and the phone for me at least. Didn't like that...

I have a tech 21, a ballistic sg, and a spigen slim armor. They are all great. I tend to use the slim armor more being that it's smaller than the ballistic and looks better than the tech 21. The ballistic is definitely the most protective case made for the n5. But it's quite large. The spigen slim armor is still very protective and looks absolutely beautiful. The build quality is top notch.

for me, no doubt: Spigen Neo Hybrid

I am thinking abou slim armor. Its pretty expensive over here but it looks really great and people say that it is safe for our device
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I have both the Ringke Slim and the Neo Hybrid. The Slim is my choice even though it doesn't cover all of the phone. Its slim and almost makes you forget that you even have a case on the phone.
The Neo Hybrid is a good case and just adds more bulk than I personally wanted. Its not to the level of an Otterbox but still some bulk.

ZeroLemon Rugged Battery Case
I purchased a ZeroLemon 3500MaH Rugged Case. It is by all means not a slim case. it's essentially a big ole brick of bada$$ery.
C shaped connector plugs into your Nexus 5 and into the battery, Hard plastic shell with a built in screen protector snaps around that, then rubberized fits around that, then of course a belt clip lol. I'd say i'm a centimeter off from a full inch thick lol.

I currently don't have a case, but I'm looking for recommendations. Can anyone recommend a case?

If you like slim cases, I really like the Ringke Fusion Crystal View case. http://www.amazon.com/PROTECTION-FUSION®-Absorption-Yourself-Technology/dp/B00H3OUGI2
It's completely clear to let the beauty of the N5 shine through. (especially if you have the red or white N5) It's a little bit softer than the Spigen version, has good grippiness, and probably more "bounce" if you dropped it.
