So, I initially was not going to rock a case (I haven't used cases or screen protectors in years). However, after dropping my LG G3 just right a few weeks ago and cracking the screen (I have since fixed it), etc. and because I made the mistake and ordered a black leather H815 international unit on Amazon instead of the white ceramic one I wanted...I need to get a case.
I may end up buying a white ceramic back on EBay for $70 later on.
However, regardless of my phones cover, I am interested in the Spigen cases. Especially the Ultra Hybrid...is it super smooth or is it somewhat grippy? Will the phone be slick in my hand?
I'm also looking at the Thin Fit case.
My only comment with Spigen is NEVER buy anything you may make a warranty claim on from anywhere but Spigen or their Amazon store. They are very much counterfeited. I bought a Silm Armor for my S4 when it had been out less than 2 weeks and got a fake. And yes there is a huge difference in quality. Even if you do get a legit one from somewhere else all warranty claims will have to be handled through that somewhere else.

Thanks. I was planning to get it directly off their site. It's not expensive enough for me to worry about trying to source a cheaper alternative.

LOL the thing is when I ordered mine for my S4 the counterfeits were in the market before the authentic ones! It's amazing how fast the fakes can be made likely from stolen images of prototypes.
I highly recommend their cases and have used them for my Samsung S4, LG G2, LG G3, and will soon get one for my LG G4. I buy them on Amazon. They are the real deal (as long as you don't get them off the marketplace) with full warranty and their a bit cheaper than spigen's site.
I had a a NEO-Hybrid case for my GS4 break at the charging port not long after I bought it. I bought it directly from Spigen. Despite that, and having the receipt, they still would not honor the warranty. I ended up buying a knockoff from eBay that's held up to this day. I'll never buy Spigen again.
That's weird. I was upset that they sent me the Korean G3 case with the hole for the antenna (which was not listed on the amazon site). I wasn't happy with that since the hole only applies to the Korean version (small marketshare compared to the world). They sent me the regular version sans hole for free and didn't even ask me to return the original. I've never had any problems with their customer service. I'm very big on customer service and I'll leave you in a minute if I get poor service from a company.
I just got the slim "case", more like a back cover. It will protect against scratches, but not drops.

I tried that one for the G3 last year. I wanted more protection, but liked the slimness.
I got the slim armor as well as the neo hybrid for my g4 both cases are great
To those who have spigen cases, do you have a G4 with leather or plastic backs? I'm trying to figure out which Spigen cases are compatible with the leather back covers.

I have the gold slim armor its little to slim for me at the moment i have a poetic revolution on ( http://www.poeticcases.com/revolution-38), this is a beast of a case probably capable of being used as a weapon in the event of the zombie apocalypse and your phone would not feel it

I have this case in all clear. All the holes line up correctly as long as you put it on right. The only issue I have with it is the kickstand rubs on the back of the phone when you open it and may eventually leave small marks if used enough.
I ordered the same case in black without the kickstand and I am going to put my FlyGrip back on it. This thing is awesome as long as you don't mind the extra thickness.

I received the case yesterday. I'll tell you what, if it is a knockoff, they did a pretty damn good job. The case isn't as "plasticy" as I thought it was. It has a hard rubbery feel to it. It looks exactly like the one in the pics, to a tee.

I tried out a Body Glove case at an at&t store and it feels way better than the case I mentioned above. I finally put my Flygrip on it today. It's a bit expensive, but it makes the phone more comfortable and you really can't tell the difference in your pocket. It also helps keep the speaker off wherever you placed your phone so it doesn't dampen your notifications / ringtones.
I just got my cheapo TPU kickstand case
(http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Plastic...ccessories&hash=item4845f27e73#ht_3661wt_1396)
It's actually pretty nice so far! The matte pieces are harder plastic, and the clear parts are softer TPU. I was a little worried that the sides would be uncomfortable to hold, but the texture is fairly dull so they don't poke your fingers.
The big draw for me was the kickstand, which is mostly ok. It works, in that it flips out. I do have two concerns though... (1) as you can see, there's no other layer underneath, so when it's open that part of the back case is exposed. This isn't a big problem except I expect it to trap a bit of lint and stuff. Then, (2) hopefully there is enough clearance for it to open that it's not rubbing on the phone all the time. It's also a little hard to get a fingernail in there to open it, but not horrible. It's hard to complain too badly for $7.50, including a screen protector, a neat little stylus (which is actually pretty great, probably the best touchscreen stylus I've used so far), and an entertaining Engrish manual.
Disclaimer: Fitment review is TBD, however, it fits my new cardboard GS3 pretty well (pictured) Now, I just need my real one! I also got the clear version to show off my pebble blue, as opposed to the pictured "white" model.
Edit: I should also note that I got some of those XtremeGuard body skins that were on sale and plan to put them on as well. So, hopefully that will protect the back case against possible wear from the kickstand, as well as mitigating the issue with that section of the case being "open".

Shows £24.99 and "coming soon" in the UK. FFS Google why can't you get the accessories to us in good time. The UK didn't even get the wireless charge dock in the end.
Can someone confirm this is actually available to buy in the US?
I wasnt a huge fan of the oem bumper for the n4, only due to the fact that it left part of the metal ring visible on the top and bottom of the front of the phone. It didn't quite look like it fit correctly.
I did however love the poetic bumper, it fit perfectly, it was a bit thinner, and matched the phone almost as if there was no case at all.
Amazon already has the poetic up for pre order and shipping date of November 19 I believe. I've got one on order, and will post pictures when it arrives.

I really like the look of the official cases especially with the nexus logo intact. I'm part of the minority and like the thinnest case possible like the rearth slim or spigen ultra fit. This official case looks like a nice compromise between the "super thin barely any protection" cases and the thicker "add too much bulk more protective" cases. Definitely pricey though.
I've had the spigen neo and was very disappointed. El cheapo imo. Rearth Ringke has been my favorite cases so far

No way I would buy that.
The image for the black bumper uses a GNex and does not really show anything about the bumper.
The image for the white bumper uses a Nexus 5 render without the bumper on it.
The description says it is for all carriers, including Verizon, on which the N5 does not work.
It would have been great to get an actual bumper case like the Nexus 4 had but I think I'll still get the official "bumper" for the Nexus 5. I'm a sucker for OEM fit and finish as well as I like how it still displays the NEXUS logo on the back.
The price is ridiculous though. I hope the carriers offer it in store when they launch the phone so I don't have to get ripped off with shipping as well.

I think it's difficult to make a true bumper for the Nexus 5 because the back is curved. Nexus 4, iPhone... Those are phones with flat backs. Regardless, I think the case looks nice, but is a bit pricy.

the official "bumper" case is expensive. but i'm guessing the "nexus" branding is what makes it worth it to a lot of people.
if you cover up your phone with any other case it just looks like any other phone and not like a beastly nexus. but now your vanity can be satisfied with a case that clearly states for all to see... NEXUS.

wished google made official one like that but in RED!
The official bumper looks quite appealing, and it looks like it extends past the camera. My only concern is the buttons. In-house cases that the phone company comes out with are notorious for having hard button covers. Guess we'll just wait for video reviews on that.

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.

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

Got this one, pretty happy with it as it adds hardly anything to the form factor. Using the free screen protector it came with...after a failed attempt with the Spigen Tempered Glass (two pieces of dust got under...drove me crazy). The case does have the antenna cut out but I didnt really care. Nice and simple
Tech21 hands down.
Waiting on my spigen slim armor

So would you say the Otter is worth the extra money?

extra money over the otterbox defender you mean ?
if thats the case, personally i would say yes.... easily, because i for one wont be sticking this huge phone in my pocket. this phone needs to be attached to my belt. plus the otterbox 'rubber' has a real great feel to it, and a swiveling beltclip ?

I had a Spigen Ultra Fit on my N5 and loved it. Wonder if they'll come out with one that doesn't have the antenna cut out.
Any of you guys using the thicker cases have wireless charging? Does it still work? The Spigen on the N5 worked great with wireless charging.

One of the best cases I've ever owned can be bought here. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JW7AQWY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. This case fits perfect, adds almost no bulk, matte black and almost feels like there is no case on the phone.

Thanks, I had bought the Verus Thor (slim armor) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J9TBM96/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and didn't like how big it is. Just got this delivered and it is way better. Doesn't add bulk and I like how the camera cutout feels. It kind of guide's your finger to where it is going, The other one I got felt like I was reaching into a hole to find the buttons.
Some random rubber/plastic case from Ebay for $3 shipped.
Done.
Had to edit this post. The case has a very sharp edge on the bottom where the pinky rests while holding the phone one handed. Not impressed..

Will review this once I get my hands on it
I have it. Nothing much to review really, it's just your usual generic TPU case.
If you insist on one, a redditor posted this Orzly TPU case review (which I'm almost sure is the same one really, just with a higher price tag):
On a personal note - I quite like it. Fits the device well with ports for everything. Pressing the volume/power button can be a tad harder, but nothing major really. Is quite "grippy"/rough on the back. I also have a tempered glass screen protector (by Orzly) and it seems to cover that up too with almost no buffer left (with less of a "bump"', obviously, between the screen and the top of the case).
In any case, you really can't go wrong with a dollar. You'll surely find something better down the line in a month or so (see the Diztonic case that's coming), but this is good, even if you'll only use it until a better one comes out.

Save your money and get a diztronic case, it'll be out by the end of the week.
Looks very good too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53906557&postcount=2

When ordering my device from AliExpress I ordered the TPU case bundled with it, for exactly the reason I mentioned previously - so I have something up until a better case comes along.
I ordered it to the UK, but I'm sure that if you have Amazon or eBay locally you can find a seller that can ship that to quite fast.

I'm planning on getting the Diztronic case as well, don't get it me wrong - it does look great. But again, you can't go wrong with a dollar, I mean, you probably paid more to get to work today than on this case, so even if you served you protection for a couple of hours it's still worth it, time/money-wise.
Thanks for sharing

I wish I could find just one of these that would get to the US in less than a week, everything is from China or UK.
Anyone find any TPU that ships from the US?

Wait for the diztronic case it'll be ready by the end of the week is the estimated date. Keep a eye out on the diztronic thread. It'll cost $10 but is of high quality.

I guess I'll have to. I hate letting my phone go naked for even 2 hours, I may just keep it in the box until I get my hands on the diztronic.
$10 isn't that much considering I spend almost that much on a Chipotle burrito for lunch...

yeah I saw that, looks really nice.
I ordered the $1 TPU just in case too, never hurts to have too many.
Won't get here for 3 weeks, but it's just a dollar...
I saw these tempered glass screenies I think I'll get too (just use some $1 ones till these come in)
http://www.amazon.com/Ebestsale-Pro...8&sr=8-27&keywords=tempered+glass+oneplus+one
3 of them for only $13 shipped is pretty amazing. I wonder if they are any different in quality than the $20 ones, I mean tempered glass is tempered glass, right?

Some are thinner, some have curved sides, and some have better oleophobic coatings.

thinness? not really, curved edges? yes, they feel better and are less likely to chip
Is there a Diztronic supplier in the UK?
Gonna get this in the meantime I think http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360965245307 - not 99p but cheap enough until I find something better
