Asus premium case available

Found a vendor on amazon selling the white version.
http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Officia...7QO6/ref=pd_sim_sbs_pc_1?tag=androidpolice-20
Here is the same in black:
http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Officia...05&sr=8-12&keywords=asus+nexus+fhd+7+official
So I've purchased a black one and will be doing a review of it when i get it later this week. It does not appear to have the magnetic auto wake function, as stated before by others do to the patent being held by another company.

Other member reviewed that the tablet doesn't even fit in.

I'm sure its a nice case but I think its a little pricey.

It's bit pricey cause the tablet only cost 229 and the case cost 40?

For an offical case it's not pricey. Take the flip cover for the note 8. It's 50 dollars. Every offical case out there is double what the aftermarket ones are. If not more. I'm buying because it's the offical case so I'm already expecting a premium.

I just found out this case doesn't support auto wake/sleep feature
I mean come on Asus!!! for a $40 case you couldn't add a piece of magnet!!!
This case and the travel case are both just big fails. Although I don't mind getting ripped off on OIM cases but at least I want to get a "premium" case.

They dont have the patent on that feature, therefore they can not use it without a hefty lawsuit from apple

Incipio Dual Pro?

I'm really surprised that I haven't seen anyone mention anything about this fantastic case!!
I've had one, maybe two, of these cases previously for other phones. It was a few years back, and don't really remember how I liked them. But, they have been selling them for years now, and for most major phones, so I figure they were doing well. I had been through page after page looking for a case that caught my eye. I never could really find anything that suited me, and was about to settle on the official Google (non-flip) case. Somehow, I came upon the Incipio website and found the dual pro. Went ahead and took the plunge on the blue/dark grey version.. I COULD'NT BE HAPPIER!!
Seriously, this has to be one of the best three cases out for this phone; and, in my opinion, it is the best one out. I also have the .13mm Mime glass screen protector; it fits like a charm and has no peeling issues. The "lip" of the inner silicone part of the case actually goes over the edges of the screen protector. Almost as to "protect" it from chipping/peeling.
Does anyone else have this case? If so, what do you think about it? I might can find a camera to put some pictures up if anyone is interested.

Interested! Put some pictures up.

From where did you get that...?? didnt fine one at amazon....so please share the link

this looks a very nice case shame cant find it to buy in uk

Their cases normally make it to a UK seller eventually but their international shipping is only $8 that isn't too bad. Enter the coupon code Fall14 for 15% off too.

This. Also the silicon got very lose after a while and dust and debris would get trapped between the case and phone easily.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

I have this case in black. Its a nice case but the silicon part of the case is loose. When you take the phone out of your pocket, the silicon pulls away from the phone. The buttons are nice on it tho and the case isn't too bulky.

Aluminum Bumper

Most cases are made of some weird rubber, either they feel cheap or they get stuck in the jeanspocket.
Some cases look great but they always tend to build so much bulk..
Has anyone tried an alu bumper like this one? Looks great atleast..

It looks great yeah but 35 dollars is too much for just a case which is why I didn't buy the official one. If it was a battery case for that price or even a little more like 45-50 then it would be worth it for me
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

With battery cases like this. You will lose a bar or two on cell phone reception as well as wireless. This was the case for the Galaxy S4. I believe you will lose the function of NFC as well.

How protective are aluminum cases though? I feel like TPU/plastic combos would probably protect the best since it absorbs shock better than metal.

Thought they had a $5 off coupon....

Why does that one bottom corner stick out like that? I'm guessing that's how the case clamps together. Seems like it wouldn't feel very nice.

Yeah not bad, but I'm not a fan of Florida sticking out of the corner there. Always making a mess of things!
Also with it being an Aluminum bumper, I'm pretty sure it's aesthetics only. That's a relatively soft metal, especially with how thin is looks. Any real bump and it will probably dent/scratch easily. It's like using a thicker version of the HTC One as a protective case.

I am holding off as well. Even with the screws, not sure if it'd fit in my Seidio holster without scuffing the crap out of it. However whenever I visit this thread and look online at the pics, it seems unbalanced to me because of the screws.

Waiting for feedback on the aluminum bumper. I'm interested to find out if the bumper keep the back of the phone off of surfaces. It looks like it wouldn't protect the back of the phone at all.

Awesome! Thanks for the update man. As a new Nexus owner I've been searching desperately for a stylish yet rugged case ever since it came out. Lack of case choices frowned upon me, but looks like a smile has drawn on my face. Hope my mom will order the gorgeous red case, and my fears of dropping my nexus are gone. Time to search for screen protector so

Finally. I have wanted one of these science I got my n5 going to buy it this week

Indeed. Not many aegis case reviews, and no nexus aegis reviews at all.

My previous Aegis Case for the Galaxy Nexus was amazing, gonna get this one for the Nexus 5 but I want to wait & see if I can get it for around $20 on Ebay like the last one. $35 kinda steep for a case in my opinion.

This is a damn good looking case. Not too disappointed anymore that Otterbox isn't supporting the Nexus 5.

I ordered one a few days back & it came in today. Pics and thoughts coming later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Pictures & Thought's
So, with using Trident Case in the past I thought I would go and be one of the first "testers" of the case if you want to call it that lol. The case is great and all but I will be asking for an exchange for another one because one of the problems was that the case wasn't lining up with the speaker & microphone grill. The other noted part would be the top of the phone, the first part of the case & the second part do not settle (no other words to describe, refer to pictures) & that bothers me so that's my other reason for getting a replacement.
Side Note: When I got it, the box was all beat up like it's been crushed. Not sure if Trident is at fault or USPS.

Rim bumper case?

So, I've been searching for a bumper case that only covers the rim of the N5. I found one that's been posted around a few times, but it's no longer available, plus it didn't get very good reviews on Amazon.
Has anybody seen any other ones?
