I have been looking around for a good Skin that covers even the curved edges of the Nexus 5 screen, offers best protection.I eventually stumbled upon Gadgetshieldz. They had a good collection of skins and screen protectors but i was not sure about the company nor their pricing as they were half of dbrand.I researched through the internet and found that it was an indian company
Without thinking further i blindly ordered a "White Carbon Fiber Skin"(i blindly ordered because i live in India and i was sure to get the product within a week or so) and guess what?!
The quality was excellent.I find the texture truly amazing It's a white carbon fibre.The delivery was fast than expected.The prices of these skins are half of dbrand.The skins include protection for the front, back and sides although I didn't bother to apply them on the sides due to the matte finishing.But at last i did and my N5 feels like a new phone
The downside is that there's no spray and not even a cleaning cloth that's very bad.
I've attached some pics of my Nexus 5 with the skin applied

The NEXUS logo blends really well with the skin.Overall I'm quite satisfied with my purchase. The skin is quite grippy and it's better than the original as its resistant to fingerprints. It has a nice feel to it. The cutouts are very precise
Pros: Durable,wide range,faster shipping,Extremely cheap
Cons:No spray,Cloth or cleaner
By the way if anyone is interested i'll leave the link here:https://www.gadgetshieldz.in/skinnova-skins-for-nexus-5.html
Their site:https://www.gadgetshieldz.in/
.And now that I have installed it, I can vouch for the fact that indeed its a great Skin to have for the Nexus 5.
Hope you guys like the review.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
Update:With pics
Whole body covered with Carbon Fibre

Hey guys just picked this case up on Saturday. Got it from the mall. Pretty sure this brand is the kind that you see at all those little mall kiosks that sell cell phone accessories. Anyways, the case is pretty much perfect. It is slim and painted matte black. The matte color lets you grip the phone way better than the stock gloss backing.
I had the original T-Mobile silicon case and I couldn't stand the bulk and how it would not slide into my pocket. This case is opposite in every way to that case. Slim and not sticky.
All of the buttons and the micro slider are VERY easy to access. No trouble what-so-ever.
I have the link posted to the manufacturer, but I don't see the exact case I have listed. Weird. The woman in the mall also had crystal clear and a black smokey version.
Hope this helps some of you guys who are waiting for the SGP. I couldn't wait any longer. I paid 20 for this case. I totally got scammed, they go for like 10 bucks on the net, but I couldn't wait.

i have the same case i got mine from cellaris
I didn't like this case because after taking it on/off a few times, the right side where the power button is started to creak whenever i pressed on it. I guess its not a big deal considering that its les than $10 on eBay, but it was kind of annoying for me.
Oops, thought this was different case till i looked closer. Looks decent but not a fan of the split case design. Tend to wear out quickly.
Well I got sick of the added bulk/weight of my verizon dual case looking around on ebay I found this Ringke case. It's a silicone case, not too much added protection if it were dropped but just for daily use it's good enough. It definitely improves the power button feel, barely even have to touch it. Fit's nice and snug on the phone adds almost nothing to it. It isn't like most silicone cases collecting lint/getting stuck in your pocket it's a different material never seen it on a phone case before Only real complaint is with after market chargers the rubber kind of gets in the way but other then that I have zero complaints about it. For the price I think it was a decent deal.
just figured there might be others out there not sure about it, like I was and give a little insight on it.
16.00 shipped
Ringke Case
if really wanted I could get pictures of mine on the phone.
I'll post a video review in a couple days. If your looking for a case which add very little bulk to the phone this is it. High quality silicone which doesn't pick up lint, dust or dirt.

Gelaskins does make great skins. I bought numerous skins from them and have had no complaints of their work.
I LOVE this bumper too, and also thinking of doing something different with the battery cover/door, but I might just get a white colored door and call a day
Where did you get this from? Which eBay seller?
Do you have a link to this bumper case?

Heard problems with this bumper though. The front side falls apart

Actually, it's around the USB port area that the black TPU section can tear itself away from the white plastic. But I've been able to fix it by using a small dab of superglue. The result can be quite stiff and reassuring. At only 3 bucks a piece, it's still an excellent case. I have 4 of these.
BTW, I bought mine from focalprice.com
I have had mine on my phone going on 3 weeks and have had no issues. I could see there being issues with the black coming off if you take your phone out of the case alot. so far i have yet to take it out since i put the case on, I have did battery pulls but the case does not need to come off to do so.

where to get design like yours? Or you made it yourself completely? Would you upload it here?
Thank you
Hi guys,
I bought this case the other day, after buying a £14 360 degree rotation case on ebay at the same time I bought my Note 10.1... It was cool, cause you could separate the case, and use just the inner case without the cover bit, but it was crap quality. It felt crap, wasn't lined, the camera on the front wasn't lined up, and I wasn't satisfied.
Upon looking for another case that I could buy that was in the UK, I found the "The Pad'" 'folio case' by Shocksock....
It's only a few quid more than the other case I bought, but is miles better. Everything lines up really well, and the case, while not oozing quality, feels nice, and looks smart. There is a couple of sharp feeling sticky-outy threads, where the sewing has been done, and the thread cut, but other than that, it's great. It's a shame it's not seperatable, but it's just miles better, and reasonable IMO for £20. I certainly couldn't find anything that looked better, so took a punt. It can also be positioned at any angle, due to a hard velcro ridge at the bottom of the tablet that sticks into and on the lining of the cover. The magnet seems a little weak, but it's closing nicer now the Note has settled into the case and stretched it in the right places - It also feels cushioned and very protective... recommended.

Thanks for the pics, that does look very good for 20 quid!
The design is different from a lot of the cases up for sale available via links on this forum.
One question though, is there a gap/cut out for the S-pen?
Unfortunately this came a little too late for me though, I purchased the original Samsung book case in dark grey and have a noreve leather one on order.
It's BULKY!
This is a review of Yoobao HTC One (M7) slim case: http://www.kevikev.com/Yoobao-Crystal-Protecting-PC-Case-for-HTC-One-M7-YBHTCm7-tpu.htm
Some of you guys maybe familiar with my reviews, a TON of stuff I do for N2, N7, and S4 (the complete review link in my sig). I just received review samples of Yoobao cases from www.kevikev.com (the only authorized US dealer of Yoobao products), and beside N2 and S4 stuff they included by mistake M7 case. So I figured to make a short write up for the benefit of anybody who is interested in super slim case for their HTC One.
It's a super slim plastic case with a very nice rubbery matte finish. The plastic itself is semi transparent. There are a lot of color options to suite everyone's taste. This case is for those who are after improving a grip of their naked phone and also protecting back of your phone from being scratched. It doesn't offer full wrap around protection of top/bottom of the phone, so you have to be very careful since you can't rely on this case providing an adequate drop protection. It's mostly to keep it super slim and to give you a better handling of the phone to avoid dropping it. As you can see, all the port openings align perfectly, and button cutout offers an easy access. This case also comes with a screen protector of a decent quality (not your usual ebay cheap stuff) and a very generous micro-fiber cloth which I'm sure a lot of people will find useful even after installation of sp.
So overall is a very nice lightweight case that will blend in with your phone without any additional bulk.
Here are some pics (sorry, i don't even have a phone, just pics of the case):
