Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=171352093030&alt=web
The yellow ones are $3 and the other colors are $5. It took about 2 weeks to ship to Canada.
Do they have the soft touch feeling?

It feels just like the original to me, perhaps a little bit more grippy. The surface is perfectly smooth.

If the back of your phone is scratched up this will make it look brand new. I also find that the phone looks much nicer with a splash of colour.
I bought one white and it's almost good as the originals in black and blue. For the price it's better than use covers.
I am waiting now for a grip.

Recently received the blue one. Excellent fitment but the texture is not OEM.. and inside the foam around the speaker is missing.
Anyway not the same price either..

Is this seriously a Samsung branded product? I can't find any information on the official site...

You rock
Loved this case for the N4 gonna love it for the N5 I hope
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.
Ordered yesterday too... Even if I still not decide about N5, shipping in Italy between 21-23 nov

This is the reason why I haven't ordered it just yet, going to wait and see the whole thing maybe in a video review before making the purchase, can't have my speakers covered.
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 have a tracking number, and on USPS it says:

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.

Just got one, I think it looks nicer than the spigen. I'll probably end up with both though in the end
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.

The $3.50 one is a different style bumper. The Nexus 4 lookalike bumper is around $11-13.

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.

trying to decide on which one to get the nillkin or the orzly? can yall give advice
i bought the Nillkin, im very happy with it overall, but the edges are not rounded which is a minor inconvenience, when this nillkin one gets scratches or if it breaks ill look for one with rounded edges.
Got the Orzly but I still haven't received it
Let us know if the Orzly has rounded edges! Thaks
Is the Rhinoshield is worth the price compared to somewhat cheaper options? The screen protector will be paired by either the Tudia or Diztronic case if it matters.
I just purchased the 9H for $7.50ish on EBay. They advertise rounded edges.

I got the Orzly because of the cutout. It has just the earpiece cutout vs a longer cutout to include the front camera on the Nillkin.
I've never had an issue with the front camera covered so I preferred it that. It looks a lot cleaner too :good:
Got the Ultimate Shields but I still haven't received it ...

I recently bought a Red Aluminium bumper case for my phone and it looks awesome on my phone just think about Red with Black combination. I will upload some pictures soon so that you can forget about buying a expensive case.
I have uploaded the pics and the last one picture shows it is red in color it is not pink. It is just because of the camera of Canvas 4 that the case looks somewhat pinkish.

I am about to buy a wood skin for my phone, you ever used skin on your phone as I am unable to decide dark wood or light coloured wood is best for black N5??
Both are nice depending on which you use. Dbrand is my first choice and for color, I'd opt for the darker one

Yeah, it looks good, but there are spigen and caseology cases that have a clear back that look great with a carbon fiber skin. And the signal isn't degraded with plastic.
