[Q] Shiny metallic cases - Nexus 5 Accessories

Hey all, I've been enjoying my nexus 5 after switching from iPhone. I'm wondering whether you know of any shiny metallic cases for the N5 similar to the "vertex metallic" cases for the iPhone 5 found on more-thing dot com (sorry can't post URL)
I find the gold spigen cases to be too dull and I haven't found anything similar myself.
Thank you

tpu case review diztronic

Hello guys,
I ve been in the market for cases for my new galaxy nexus and got my hands on a couple diztronic ones..Ive been very reluctant to get "tpu" cases as I always thought it was just a renamed silicone case ..however I think different now and made a couple of videos reviewing the 2 I got..There are the same case but with a different color
Pd.- I am in no way associated with Diztronic or any of its affiliates .Im just a phone junkie that started reviewing cases so people get a look before spending their money. Mods if I am breaking any rules please let me know
Enjoy and hope this helps

here is the review on the same case but in another color

new case needed

hey guys,
I have a sgs2 and my case just broke (just wear n tear did not drop it) its the SGP Samsung Galaxy S2 Case Ultra Capsule - YELLOW
I really like colour but its barely lasted 4 months esp for that price...
Having read the reviews I see people are highly recommending both:
- case mate tough case
- otterbox case
trouble is i can only find them in black and I really like a colourful case but cant justify spending £20 every 4 months
So what would you do? Is there a nice yellow / blue reliable strong case out there or do I have to go for either one of the other 2 mentioned above, in which case which one would you choose?
Please help
Thanks

Looking to buy Walnutt case - ONLY sold in Korea; could someone help out?

Hi guys,
I am looking at the Walnutt cases for the i9100, I would really love to purchase one of the bumper cases, but it seems there is very little available. I have found 3 sites with them but they are all Korean and don't look to sell internationally (or at least don't respond to my emails).
http://www.walnutt.co.kr/shop/shopdetail.html?branduid=361134&xcode=013&mcode=002&scode=&type=X&sort=order&cur_code=013002
My main problem is that I am after the White/Green version (I think it will look perfect on the White i9100!) but everywhere is sold out bar this website: http://www.unilook.co.kr/shop/shopdetail.html?branduid=429862&xcode=007&mcode=001&scode=&type=X&sort=order&cur_code=007001
Is there a very generous XDA member who could possible help me out with some mail forwarding at all? Your PayPal coffee/beer fund will be added to! :highfive:
May thanks!
I found a very similar one on eBay

Thanks jt.61
I've seen these before and have ordered a couple to see what they are like - will let people know when they arrive; I don't have high hopes to be honest.
I still want an official one so I know it fits perfectly though.
Here is another probably better alternative.

And here is a back cover to go with it if needed. You can choose that same green color.

I wouldn't recommend SGP Linear ... they are made of plastic and easy breakable...
I would recommend Sweet Armor .. they are not that heavy and they are made of airline metals (aluminium i believe ... not sure)
Thanks for the recommendations guys; I have tried many cases but believe the Walnutt would be the best for my situation

Very similar to the SGP NEO HYBRID?
Mebbeh try that?
thanks for the recomendations guys
Just a little warning. I've had a Walnutt bumper case on my phone for about 4-5 months, and they scratch the living hell out of the left and right sides of the phone.
I'm not sure if all Walnutt bumper cases do this, maybe I was just unlucky.
Maybe you got bits of dust between the phone and bumper? I know that my SGP NEO EX does accumulate a bit of dust between silicon and my phone. Regular clean ups does the job though. No significant scratches after 5 months of having the bumper, just slight micro scratches here and there, but those might be also deriving from me using my phone without bumper on occasions...
Cheers

I am currently using Walnutt bumper case for my iPhone 4 and have been satisfied with this case so far. I dropped my phone on the ground a few times while I was taking it out from the pocket. Fortunately, my phone was not damaged. you might ca buy it at http://www.zoarah.com/walnutt-bumper-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s2.html

Accessories Buy-It-Forward thread !!

Hello HTC One lovers,
Just like many of us, I have bought so many accessories/skin/cases for my HTC One that sometime I don't ever use at all. So, instead of keeping them on the shelf and get covered by dust, I think I can give away or trade them with something else. I don't know whether XDA rules allow we doing this, but this kind of trading is not risky at all due to the low value of the items.
The rules are simple:
- No selling. Trading or exchange only.
- HTC One accessories only
- You simply say what you got and what you want to trade.
- You trade at your own risk.
To get started, I have two things that I don't need them anymore:
1. Red leather effect skin, unused.
2. 1x Black + 1x White Nillkin cases. I tried them once on my HTC One but found a better option lately
I am looking for something useful like wall charger, car charger, or pouch. I am open for anything
I've got an Otterbox Defender Case that id like to swap for something interesting. The case is almost brand new. I got it with the phone the day I bought it and decided not to use it because it was a little big for me.
Would you like to trade that case with everything that I have above?

Awesome post! I also have the following:
1x Black Nilkin case used for about a week so it's still pristine
1x Diztronic black case used for a few days so still perfect
1x Brand new Poetic Border (1st gen with IR covered) in white/gray
1x Brand new Rock gray case
1x Brand new AceAbove clear case (extremely thin)
1x Brand new Spigen Ultra Thin Air soft clear (warning that this does not fit perfectly and creaks a bit on the back)
Looking for an interesting case or anything extremely durable just for those rugged days.
Love this idea!
-I'm up for trading my 2nd gen grey/clear poetic case for another case.

Have a new double dip case. I tried it on the phone and didn't like it. It isn't too tight and seems to fit properly.

True bumper case for the Nexus 5?

Just wondering if anyone out there has seen or heard of a true bumper case available or at least on the horizon for the Nexus 5?
To be clear, not talking about the official "bumper" case from the play store (not sure why they call it a bumper at all, as the back is completely covered.) I am talking about something that simply hugs the edges to give the screen and lens a bit of offset without hiding the beautiful texture and design of the back of the handset.

Sucks that LG isn't making one as the N4 bumper is my favorite for that device.
So we're left with 3rd party solutions like Poetic, iBlason, and Abacus. None look that good to me but at least they're cheap.

Also waiting for a real bumper!!
The feeling of the back is too sexy !
An original bumper from LG for this device... <- here, please!
Apart from a wireless charger this was one of the most anticipated accessories (at least for me)...
I'd also like a real bumper because I think the back of the Phone is solid, I'm not scared to break it so I don't understand why on other bumpers there is this film protector... Totally useless to me !
