All the cases I've seen so far seem to be matte finish, and I find the glossy TPU to provide a better grip, since the human hand usually has some amount of moisture on it. Anyone find a glossy TPU case for the N5 that won't break the bank?

Same. Glossy TPU tend to offer better grip. Loved the one I had for my G2x.
So far I have only found those S-type TPU cases. I just want a one-tone. I don't quite understand why they add the S design to it.
There's quite a few ebay listings for $3 solid colored TPU cases shipped from the PRC
Look for Cruzertlite.

Cruzerlite cases have all these awful designs. They should just make a plain one.
CIMO has a glossy TPU case on Amazon. I have a Tudia TPU case waiting on my Nexus 5 this week.
I own a OnePlus One with the Bamboo back and as most people already know, it's actually quite thicker than the normal sandstone black and silk white backs and also a bit heavier. Because of this, most cases won't fit. I already tried putting on a naked clear case but my phone was too thick. Hopefully others with the Bamboo back could post here what cases would fit so we can put together a sort of list of confirmed cases that fit the Bamboo OPO.

I was debating to open a thread for this too, but here, I have these cases:
6x Aluminium Bumper Case (no SIM slot)
4x Ringke Fusion Case
2x Orzly Fusion "Bumper" Case
1x TUDIA Slim Fit Dual-Layer Cygen
1x TUDIA Ultra Slim LITE TPU Bumper
1x Diablo Jkase Rugged Case
Aluminium Bumper Case: I wouldn't use these because I don't want to damage the plastic on the side of the phone, as well as get my bamboo scratched. But it does fit, screws require a bit more pressure for locking in, which brings me to my original point, I don't want to damage the orange-ish plastic.
Ringke Fusion Case: I'm using this on my Daily Driver OnePlus One (Bamboo) atm, as well as my developer OnePlus One (sandstone) - I love these cases, it feels so high quality and fits around the device well. As you can see, I have 4 because two of them were the first batch which were quite loose.
Orzly Fusion "Bumper" Case: Rubbish. It doesn't shape around the edges of the phone and the lips of the "lay-on-the-table" design is so loose, I'd toss these out if I were you.
TUDIA Slim Fit Dual-Layer Cygen: Fits, but as usual the flaws are that the hard plastic does not align properly with the TPU is more obvious than on the Sandstone. Bad first batch, but not for everyone - as the manufacturing line is different.
TUDIA Ultra Slim LITE TPU Bumper: I have the clear version to show off the back. It looks good, and fits very well. As usual, clear displays the bamboo design quite well.
Diablo Jkase Rugged Case: It was a rather "loose" case to begin with, so it fits well with the bamboo styleswap/bamboo device. However, why would you buy a case to cover your bamboo anyways?

Wow! That's solid helpful. The one I wanted to get but didn't fit when I tried it on was the Bepak Slim Transparent Case so stay away from that if you've got the bamboo. I really wanted a clear case coz I didn't want to cover the Bamboo but after trying the Bepak case I didn't think any slimfit clear case would fit. Glad to hear the Ringke Fusion Case fits! Do you have the clear one? I think I might just order one.

Sorry, can I just confirm, is the Aluminium Case you mention first the one by kwmobile/KW-Commerce? And, if it is, you say you wouldn't choose it because of potential scratching, but do you think it's still a good case in that it protects the screen from being damaged?

Yeah because that case is actually already very snug on the sandstone version of the OnePlus, with the added thickness at the back, it will scrape along the plastic and the bamboo (I had a lot of experience with aluminium bumpers with added thickness battery covers (Note 3 + Al bumper + Al battery cover) and the battery cover was scratches so much). It will protect your screen somehow (I did drop my sandstone OPO with a tempered glass on solid concrete and it was perfectly fine)

Thanks for the information; think I'll give that one a miss then and go for the Tudia Ultra Slim instead

strongly disagree. I'd recommend Orzly Fusion bumper case. The fit is perfect, not too tight. Fits perfectly round the edges and definitely not loose on the 'lay-on-the-table' part. I also own Ringke & Diztronic.
Im pretty sure u got a bad batch of the Orzly, or maybe an early batch...

I would not, my two cases I ordered one month apart are exactly what KP Smith said in a comment here:

Thank you for doing this review. Your post makes me want to try the TUDIA Ultra Slim LITE TPU Bumper.
Saw this review on it.
youtu.be/cd1O8LdeGUo
my diztronic tpu slim cases fit pretty good as well. you put them on like you would with the regular back then just run your fingers around the edges and it falls right into place. I have 4 different colors from different batches and all fit fine. I also have the ringke fusion.. its actually on my phone right now. Its got the clear back and tinted sides. Fits 99.9% perfectly! Its my go to case for sure.
This case is grippy? good protection?
better than Spigen Neo hybrid?
Depends on which official case you get. The sandstone is grippy/gritty like other OnePlus sandstone products. The rosewood is the only wood case I've used. It feels like laminate floors and doesn't provide much grip. The Karbon (my favorite) feels like soft touch plastic and adds some extra grip.
The Spigen neo hybrid is fine but I prefer the official Karbon case since it's less bulky and has a nicer feel. The downside of the official cases is they don't cover the top or bottom edge of the phone and don't create much of a lip on the front. The RhinoShield Crash Guard is a good minimal option that will protect the phone from drops on flat surfaces.
I thought everyone would like to know, that new protective cases for the BOLD-N1 cell phones are starting to appear on Amazon/US.
Although all these cases are flexible, soft gel transparent TPU silicone protection cases, I think this is great news, as it could be that other manufacturers later, start offering other cases of better quality and made with materials that would Protect the phone better.

Looking for a nice shockproof case with fat lips. Rhinoshield? DBrand grip? I prefer smooth/matte rubberish touch on the back. Any experience guys?
I'm having dbrand grip and it's a thicc boi, I'm throwing my phone around. Matte plastic but not rubbery though
