I've got one and it is great. Nice fit and finish, offer side and back protection which is all I car about. Feels good in hand too.

i ordered mine last night, should receive it sometime this week!
is the power button cut out so we can use the IR blaster?
Look for pictures - in short yes the IR is fine.
It does not cover the whole phone. Back and sides. Top has a small notch for headphones trimmed out and bottom is open.
Most of these type of cases will always be that way. I think the POETIC case apparently had this issue.
How do you design a case and knowing all the specs and you forget about the IR ?

aaaand... back on topic.
Nice case! I'm still hunting down the perfect case; meanwhile I've just ordered a cheap transparent case for about £3.
I'm tempted by the Nilkin, but the fact that it doesn't protect the top and bottom is a bit off-putting.
Something like the double-dip hard case would be great for me, but I'm just not keen on the colours they used.
I rather like the look of the Urban Armor Gear cases though. I just wish they had it in this colour.

It does cover the corners which would take the hit if it goes down

i am unsure about the looks of the back... you think taking the phone out of this would hurt it if done a lot?
Ordered a red and black one of these for 4 quid each off eBay should be here in a week or two, coming directly from China!

It is, very silky smooth on the sides.
Definitely less slippery than the phone would be on its own.

I've yet to get my HTC One but my Nillkin case has arrived and yes, it is true that the case is slippery. It feels like powder on paper less the powder of course. It's that kind of slippery.

Mine took 11 days including weekends... I ordered from Obostore: http://www.obostore.com/nillkin-ultra-slim-hard-case-for-htc-one-m7-p-13717.html
I ordered from a US seller. Got here in two days.
I like the feel of it. The rigid back and the soft sides is nice. I got the white one. It will probably attract more dirt

The sides of the Nillkin are the smooth rubbery coating like you would find on the back of some of HTC's older phones (ie S710). The back is textured with a pattern, so it isn't the same feeling as the sides. I would say it's definitely less slippery than the phone naked.
Has anyone got one? They look nice and get good reviews on Amazon but would be good if someone who has one could post some pics of the real thing. I have the Spigen ultra hybrid which looks great but adds a lot of bulk to the phone and doesn't feel so great. I also have a cheapo tpu case which actually feels great but the finish is a bit poor and its a little saggy.

Really works for me. Try this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FOAK9CK?ie=UTF8&force-full-site=1&ref_=aw_bottom_links
I don't have one, nor any experience with the maker, but they do look on the thicker side for TPU cases.
Now it's working... how so?
Yeah it seems like on the thicker side.
Got one of these today and really love it! Fantastic case.
"TPU" and "Ultra Slim" should never be uttered in the same sentence unless that sentence is "Nothing about TPU is ultra slim by any stretch of the imagination."
stahp.
Great case! Fits the phone perfectly without room for it to slide up and down inside the case. Buttons are not too hard to press but a little more difficult. All ports are accessible. The speaker grill cut out isn't perfectly put, but is just fine.
Still waiting for mine to be delivered, looks like it's coming from the UK from the US via snail mail.

Got it the other day - nice case fist really well with no saggyness, I have ditched my spigen ultra hybrid for this as that whilst looking cool was too bulky.
This is a mediocre case at best. It's slim, but has the sticky feel of glossy TPU, which I hate. The design on the back may or may not appeal to you -- I found it repulsive. Overall, with this case, you get what you pay for. I personally think it ruins the aesthetics of the Nexus 5.

If the back is so repulsive why on earth did you buy it in the first place? It was quite evident in the pictures and listings that it was glossy tpu and the back was the way it is. Surely one of the main reasons people buy this case is because they like the design on the back. The case is cheap but alot better quality than other tpu cases ( of which I have bought 2) of a similar price and ruins the aesthetics no more than any other case, compared to other cases I have bought including the spigen it follows the contours of the phone well.

Do you honestly think I would have bought it if I had known that I didn't like the back design? It looked great in the photo, but not when I had it in my hands.

UAG black - very good protection with just enough bulk/weight combo. Also, the case fits perfectly on the phone, very high quality production. With awesome design to boot. The screen cover it brings is also the best one i've ever seen, no cheapo 3 for 1€'s from ebay even compare.

Best combination of protection, slimness, and grip but is easy to slide in and out of a pocket.

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
Lifeproof Fre.
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.

got mine about a week and and i love mine but i prefer my Air jacket more. (Just because it doesn't hide my motomaker back). one thing i had against it is that it fit crazy tight and i almost felt like i was breaking my phone when trying to remove it. it also made my buttons a bit more sensitive than i would have liked, but not to much that it would randomly turn on.
Yeah.. I agree its super tight coming off. Have to go slow taking it off that's for sure.

Thanks for the review: I was considering the Supcase. While you did point out the minimal face-protection: I found that the size of the protection around the front-sides is exactly what I was looking for as I am currently working near minerals quite often so having a bit of breathing space is ideal.

wow... :victory: Great and Great... thanks for sharing it..
I've been using the Supcase for nearly 2 months now and I've got the say for the price you can't beat it. The clear back option is great and I like it since it keeps the dimple intact!
Ergonomics for the win!
I must be the only person here or on amazon who did not like the supcase. It had a great fit but I just didn't like the hard plastic shell and sharp edges. I only used a few times then put on ebay. For a thin casr I much prefer my tpu case that was $12 cheaper.
My SUPCASE Clear/Black came in and I'm loving it. The only problem I have right now(which is ironic) is that it's actually too-loose around the power/volume keys which makes it hard pressing down on the keys.
Great review. The case looks breautiful. I just ordered one on amazon for $16.
Has anyone used this case with Shure SE215 headphones? I am concerned that the earphone jack won't fit through the case as the opening isn't particularly wide. Would hate to have to return the case if my earphones don't fit.
I see your supcase review. It's great. I want to know how much it with shipping expense?
Here's a relatively new one that popped up on my radar. It's a TPU case with nice buttons and very good reviews, not only from a materials perspective but also with respect to button feedback. I think the honeycomb look adds a bit of subdued flair. Apparently the case is in fact black, but from the photo it looks ever so slightly green. Could be just the lighting. Looks very nice if you ask me!

GOSH that looks sexy I especially love the way the case curves from the back to the sides so seamlessly! And it is translucent? if so, it would be even sexier!!! Some real life pics and review would be appreciated! hope they make more of these and make them available internationally, and more colors.
Also the dark green color does look nice I know its black, but still!!!
Love the look of this case so I emailed them just to see they'd be willing to ship to the states...
Dear Jason,
thank you very much for your inquiry and your kindly interest in our products.
Unfortunately we actually only sell our products within the EU and other european
countries. For logistical reasons concerning the customs clearance, we don't offer
shipping to the US. Thanks for your kindly understanding.
We are already thinking about selling our products on Amazon.com, too so that
US clients would be able to receive our cases within a few business days.
So maybe you will find our cases in your country in the near future.
Wish you a nice day.
Best regards.

So maybe in the future, but not right now.
I ordered this case just because of your OP I have the ringke fusion, ultra slim and a nilkin shell And this case is BY FAR the best case I've ever had on a smartphone. Its REALLY slim, the fusion is actually bulkier and it offers a lot more protection than the fusion. It looks absolutely gorgeous and it feels even better. You have no fingerprints whatsoever and the bee thingy on the back feels really good. Its a bit harder than generic tpu cases, the whole case feels like the rubbered edges of the fusion only a lot better. So 10/10 I can gladly recommend this case to anyone. The buttons are also covered and feel great. If anyone wants pictures I can provide

tire, yes my thoughts exactly. I found a few tread cases for the GN and NS on ebay. Casemate only makes for the GS4 now. Any idea if they'll be available for the N5? I don't even want casemate's cases, even a generic case with a tread pattern will do.

You say the buttons are great. How do they compare to the other cases? Do they give feedback, or a click of some sort? Some case button covers are too stiff, while others put so much pressure on the buttons that it becomes too easy to accidentally turn the phone on while in your pocket.
I guess i would pretty much compare it to the fusion if you have one.. If you don't have one for reference, it does get a teensy bit harder to press the button compared to naked(obviously), but its not really clicky.
Edit: the buttons are not hard to press and feel very natural, but as I said not as easy as without a case

It's the best case I've ever used
Not a single complaint. Nice feeling, grip, look, fit, material, ..
Just received mine. Looks and feels great but I found one major flaw already. The micro usb cutout is very small, just to fit oem N5 cable and it fits tightly. Any other cable (unless it has longer than usual metal part of micro usb plug) will be unusable since the case is made from hard tpu that won't stretch to fit any larger plugs.
I got this last week and it is hands down the best tpu case I have ever seen. I would not have thought that diztronic could be trumped, but it does. Faboulous build quality and feel. It is a bit thicker than most tpu cases and the cutout for usb port is small (oem cable fits exactly), those are the only "downsides".
How can I get this case? I live in Chicago.
