Where to get a real Spigen Modello case?

I've looked every where for a gray or black modello case, but I cant find one. I tried expansys, but they discontinued these colors. Anyone know where I can buy a real one? I see there some on ebay, but I'm worried that they are fake. Thanks.

Uhm spigen.com !?

otherwize, if you are set on a nicer TPU case, might i suggest a diztronic? http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Flexible-Protector-T-Mobile-Packaging/dp/B0089F2ILM/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1356567886&sr=1-1&keywords=galaxy+s3+diztronic
they also have a navy blue one that matches the pebble blue, i own one and like it..
but you cant really use 99% of TPU cases with a curved full screen protector

Cruzerlite Red Experience Case

Hi all,
I just recieved today my Red Cruzerlite Experience Case from Amazon or you can get it from Cruzerlite also. A link is down below. Love the case, and its not as bulky as my spigen neo hybrid case. The case has its cutouts just perfect and it doesn't feel slippery in the hand. I recommend the case. Hopefully the pictures I post will show and any additional questions/pictures please just ask and I will post back with those.

I think jtwlbz was hoping to see pictures of the black case on.
Red looks great!

I have the black one as well. LOVE it!

speck cases!!!!! they are here !!!

just got bored surfing the web and thought i would see if speck made nexus 5 cases yet. and i guess i lucked out !!!!
http://www.speckproducts.com/google...ses-and-covers/candyshell-for-lg-nexus-5.html
downfall is they are 35 bucks. i was hoping for $25. well if anyone gets one post up what you think of it. i want to know if these have any issues with the power button not having any click feel to it and or easy to press by accident

expensive !!
they are over priced ..
thats my opinion .

Finally! Now speck and tech21 have released cases and imo, they are the best brands out there!

Thats some ugly case.

they look nice, but those colors are horrendous, except for the blue and white one. would love to know why they are priced that way when it seems they are made out of the same material as any other dual layered case.
if they ever go on sale ill pick one up.

Speck always over charges for their cases. They cater to the rich stupid iPhone people. And I agree the case colors they choose suck. I wanted a plain black one.

I do like the white and blue one but not for 35 bucks

Those color options are terrible.

Here are 3 alternatives and your welcome:

Why couldn't they have used more standard colors..
The white/blue one looks Okay...
Why they couldn't make a complete black case is beyond me.

Yea thats what i was thinkin. Got the blue and white cause thats the best looking one

This case is great for side and corner impacts, but the small lip hinders its face flat resistance.
My friend has this case on his sgs3, and I saw his phone drop onto our tile office floor and crack the screen, while in the case!
The floor did have a slightly raised edge, due to it being tile, but nothing a good case shouldn't have protected against.

I ordered this case and it should be here tomorrow. Sounds like it may continue using my Ballistic Aspira case if this one doesn't offer much protection.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

^ sorry if my post seemed discouraging. I can only speak for the experiences I've seen with this case in an s3, which is 2 years old.
If the lip is a decent height, things should be fine if it falls facewards. Back and sides should be fine because of the thick plastic/rubber the case is made from. Let us k know how it fists!

Update added Dbrand Skin....Stripped my Black Official Bumper Case

I bought a black official Google bumper case but it started peeling almost right away. I wasn't able to RMA it because I wasn't the original owner. So rather than have a case that was degrading over time I decided to strip it right down. Here are the results. I might still order a skin for the back not sure yet. As you can see it's glossy and still has the Nexus logo. If your wondering I used just my fingernail to scrap it as I didn't want to damage it with a razor blade or any chemical. Added Dbrand Skin see pic on second page.

Just wondering.. How long did it take to scrape it completely off with your fingernail? I like the look and may do this as well.

looks awful and too shiny.

I like the black case better with the coating remove from the back. Took me most of the day scratch that $h:t off the back

Thanks I might get a skin for the front too. Not sure. I kinda prefer having the skin on the case though since I get a similar effect but my camera is recessed. The one thing I don't get about the Nexus 5 design is having the camera stick out.

Aluminium Bumper case for Nexus 5

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.

Yes I will upload some pictures soon.
I have this bumper case and and capdase silicon case. I also bought a back side skin from printvenue, actually I made it as I don't the feel of the back side and it gets dirty very easily.
I am uploading the picture which I used to create the skin. I don't have the skin right now as it is not shipped yet lets see when they will ship it to me.

I have a similar one. Looks great, but affects GPS and navi. And affects phone signal a bit. If it wasn't for the GPS issue I could have dealt with the loss of a bar or two.

Yes I am experiencing signal drops too I don't know why it is happening as few days past I opened the battery back cover of my phone I saw that the antennas are on the battery back cover not at sides.
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

No case is worth losing signal strength. Plus, there's no back protection.

Normally I would agree, but it looks great lol. Show vs go for me. I have since given up on any aluminum case like this and reverted back to my spigen cases.

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.

Are there any rubber/plastic bumpers for this phone (don't want to hurt signal)? I never found any. The Google bumpers are just regular cases..

But plastic bumper cases does not look as good as aluminium one. They look just okay instead of buying a plastic bumper case go for a spigen ultra fit case or skin.
