I'm not sure if this has been discussed but I wanted to give everyone a heads up on something I've learned. If you want a nice metal band for your moto 360 without spending a ton of money go to you local best buy and grab the pebble band. It fits like a glove and only costs 20 bucks. No reason to spend more for the same look and feel. Here's mine.
There is already a 22mm band thread and there's another that's just about the pebble steel.
Search is your friend.
But thanks for the extra pictures just the same.
this is NOT meant to be a cut down or anything, but it looks like you have very hairy wrists. Now when I had the pebble steel on mine, it feels like its grabbing and ripping out literally every hair I have on my wrist lol. Do you not experience this?
Lol no offense taken. Your right in do have hairy wrists and now after having it on for a couple of hours I definitely have a few less hairs.
This is what I did and very happy with the band. Good quality and good fit too.
I just check bestbuy website can't find it

If your looking to get it today you might be able to get it from BestBuy, or if you have Amazon Prime you can get it from them too
Silver - BestBuy - Amazon
Black - BestBuy - Amazon
I did this with the black pebble steel band and its looking pretty good only issue is i had to remove most if not all the links to get it to fit... and if i may say it was a ***** to remove with out the right tools... now mind you if you get the black band you get what you pay for... the finish scratches very easily so i would recommend getting a a jewelers kit of some sort to remove the links/band... the band was simple to remove once you figured out how to do it

I just ordered one. However, I wanted to see if anyone had one already and what they thought about it.
Got the case in 2 days.

I bought one from Amazon and it's "okay" to say the least i much prefer the one i got directly from T-mobile. but they are nice. but i work in the Automotive industry so i need something that i can put down on a tool box or a stainless steel top and not worry about it scratching up my battery door.
i guess it's like Epik for Blackberries.

I have the hard plastic case with the kickstand made on the back. I know they are expensive but i have a 14mth old daughter and it helps to keep her quite when we go out. put on Sponge Bob or similar put the phone out of reach and she is a quite as a church mouse.
i'm gonna pop for it. at 5 bucks flat its probably the best deal for the TPU style cases. since TPU i think requires like 4 dollar shipping so it comes out to like around 10 bucks. and i do like the 2 tone flat with gloss cause the flat parts are for grip.
This case is a must order...the pictures do not give it justice..i will post video in a little bit...

I just ordered one, what's your opinion on it?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
so far its pretty good. the styling is pretty god and the sides are dimpled gripping. the rear is flat black which makes it have a contrasted look with the flat and gloss. the power button is a bit hard to press but its not too ridiculous. though the one thing is normally when you plugged in your usb to charge you always got a noticeable click like it was fully setting into place. now because of the case you kinda have to jam it into the opening so it stays cause the case adds about 1-2 mm of fatness. most likely its cause of the size of the usb head. other than that i'm very pleased. comes from Pasadena, CA so if your in socal it'll come to you with-in a day. and for 5.10$ shipped you cant really get anything better.

I ordered the white and it got dirty within a week and the material it was made of just couldn't be cleaned. I carried it mostly in my jean pocket and occasionally in my purse/bag (always clean, no spilled makeup or the like). The rubber area wasn't as dirty but kept the jean indigo ruboff while the matte area just got yellowish/brown dirty. I received an email from the company asking for feedback and I let them know and asked them how I can clean it. They didn't have any suggestions and instead offered to send me another, to which I replied gratefully and asked for the teal color instead of the white.
It comes today and I'll take a couple pics if you want. Awesome retailer (through Amazon).
Other than that, awesome case. The charger went in a little crooked but straightened out after a while. There are holes for a lanyard strap or charm which I got used to on my old HTC and the GNex lacks. The side ridges make it super grippy and the big Android on the back prevents [most] people from saying "OMG IZ THAT TEH NEW IPHONE"
The best part is taking it off and remembering how thin the Nexus is ^_^
Hahaha ur last sentence is so true!! Everytime I take off my cases it makes the phone look so slim

Oh, nice! I have a new phone strap and wanted to use it but was slightly bummed that the Gnex doesn't have a hole for one. The android design on the back is also very cute.
Thanks for talking about the white version. I'm a fan of white cases but worried about the discoloration on this one. I mostly carry my phone in my purse with usually no makeup in it.
I hope you guys aren't trying to say that this case adds a lot of bulk to the phone...

Here's a tip for anyone ordering the case from anywhere that requires intenational shipping.
If you pay via Google payments then the order will be complete with you just paying for the case thus will save you on paying the international shipping charge - At least it worked for me.
Enjoy.

I saw that too..kinda weird isnt it??
Have been using the teal and its really nice. The charger port hole still isn't perfect but I am just careful with it. Looked on ebay last night and there's a ****load of new options including some cool looking metal-ey ones. Before there were just the same ones from the larger retailers around $20.
Ill be picking up another cruzerlite soon, they are still the only one I found with the lanyard holes lol

Found these today:
http://nexus5accessories.com/hyperion-explorer-nexus-5-rugged-cases/
They look kind of cheap, but does anyone know what that hole on the back could be for?
That's the kickstand.
Edit: Oh, you mean the hole at the bottom. I have no idea then ^^.
Dunno but I'd guess maybe a hole for antennas or signal? Sounds reasonable..

Looks like a neat and safe case. I have a kickstand on my GN case and its pretty useful.
Maybe it's over the small little LG logo near the bottom of the phone?
http://www.amazon.com/KAYSCASE-ArmorBox-Heavy-Cover-Google/dp/B00EVERGX0/
Same case, but a lot more expensive? That K logo must cost a lot
Likely to show off the LG logo, i have one of the cheap "s-wave" tpu cases from ebay and it has the same thing.
Edit: Also the Hyperion is on sale for $1.99 plus shipping at amazon right now..unfortunately without enough posts I cant link to it.

Seems like a lot of this same design...if you prefer no hole - CruiserLite has one:

or if you prefer the exact same case in a different brand (hole-less) Armourdillo has you covered:

Please look around before buying cases. The case that Hyperion is selliong is nothing more than a generic case that can be purchased for $4. Every product link that been posted in this thread is more than 3x the price if you look harder.

I ordered one and it should be here in a few more days. I will upload some pics when it gets here. With all the case talks I thought it was worth mentioning as I have used the same style on many tablets and have had a lot of success. I expect this to be essentially the same as the blurex and poetic models. kind of an early heads up as it takes time from china but mine has shipped and seems legit compared to some of the questionable sites floating around

Thanks that's exactly like the Moko case I right now I have for my iPad air. The case is really good I just don't like ordering stuff from China since it takes so long. I may look for a US seller or give it a go if I can't find another seller.

These are good if a bit bulky. I do not like it when they put stylus loops on cases. It's ugly and catches when you put the tablet into a bag or pocket.
It looks in one of the pictures like the camera hole does not align?

I think the tablet was in upside down in that picture. In the others it appears to align OK.

roanoke texas. i thought someone might want it. i didnt open it but it looks identical to the ones on amazon for other tablets. at 15 i will lose a bit with the shipping charges but i would rather someone here enjoy it.
I grabbed 2 nylon bands from Bestbuy without thinking how they would attach. Got home and realized I would need an adapter. I ordered one of the Kickstarter ones but I'm impatient. I picked up 2 22mm spring rod from a local watch shop (the guy wouldn't let me pay for them). I creased the nylon and stuffed it into the little gap, and forced the spring rods in. It took some work to soften the nylon but it worked. I used the little flathead/nail file on my Leatherman Style. No damage at all during the installation. I really don't use the heartbeat sensor at all. So not a big deal it's covered up.

I really hate to bump and old thread but, this is nothing short of genius. I've always wanted to put a NATO on my Moto but I never though it was possible!
Have you had any cracks as a result if this?, I personally think the style in which NATOs are attatched should prevent any cracking but I may be wrong.
Thankyou for posting this!
I didn't but really packed the strap behind the pins so it really never flexed or had movement.
I just got those 22mm adapters to use any watchband ... They are alright but the watch sits up higher and slides all around on the NATO strap
