DIY bumper case + Nexus wireless charger

I was looking for a true bumper case to use with my Nexus wireless charger car dock. However it seems that there aren't any quality ones out there. So I bought a Rearth Ringke Fusion case, remove the back and made a bumper case out of it. =) It is slimmer than Spigen Neo Hybrid. The sides are stretchy enough that can be pushed outward a bit. I have never used a true bumper case before so I'm not sure if this kind of stretchiness is normal. The back is raised enough to protect the lens. I have dBrand skin installed so there is another layer of protection for the back/lens. Hopefully it will work like a true bumper case.

Looks nice! Was it hard tot remove the back of the case? I think i'll give it a try to!

It takes quite a bit of force to take it out but just keep on trying and eventually you can push it out for sure. I have only done this on a Ringke Fusion. Spigen Ultra Hybrid is another possible candidate. However I can't guarantee the back is removable.

I like that keyboard.

Friendly advice: Don't do it. I just did, and the bumper alone is super wobly = hardly any relevant protection for the phone + uncomfortable in the hand. Tomorrow, I'm buying a superglue to glue it back together

hey what base is that holding up the wireless charger?
thats pretty much exactly what i've been looking up. want to mock up something just like it.

That base is exactly what I am looking for as well. Could you provide some more info on it thanks.

I was rocking the black slim armor from spigen I got when the phone first came out. Great protection, not too bulky, protects the camera, and has a small lip on the screen so you can lay it down on its front with no worries.
I like it so much that when I heard that the bright red was more orange than red. I bought it in a heartbeat.
Only other case I got was the Ringke Fusion, works just as great and has a clear back. but dust kept getting in the back in between the case and the phone for me at least. Didn't like that...

I am acctually thinking about case and I am nearly sure that it will be spingen because I heart a lot of good opinions about them.

I have a tech 21, a ballistic sg, and a spigen slim armor. They are all great. I tend to use the slim armor more being that it's smaller than the ballistic and looks better than the tech 21. The ballistic is definitely the most protective case made for the n5. But it's quite large. The spigen slim armor is still very protective and looks absolutely beautiful. The build quality is top notch.

for me, no doubt: Spigen Neo Hybrid

I am thinking abou slim armor. Its pretty expensive over here but it looks really great and people say that it is safe for our device

I have both the Ringke Slim and the Neo Hybrid. The Slim is my choice even though it doesn't cover all of the phone. Its slim and almost makes you forget that you even have a case on the phone.
The Neo Hybrid is a good case and just adds more bulk than I personally wanted. Its not to the level of an Otterbox but still some bulk.

How about protection neo hybrid vs slim armor?

ZeroLemon Rugged Battery Case
I purchased a ZeroLemon 3500MaH Rugged Case. It is by all means not a slim case. it's essentially a big ole brick of bada$$ery.
C shaped connector plugs into your Nexus 5 and into the battery, Hard plastic shell with a built in screen protector snaps around that, then rubberized fits around that, then of course a belt clip lol. I'd say i'm a centimeter off from a full inch thick lol.

I currently don't have a case, but I'm looking for recommendations. Can anyone recommend a case?

If you like slim cases, I really like the Ringke Fusion Crystal View case. http://www.amazon.com/PROTECTION-FUSION®-Absorption-Yourself-Technology/dp/B00H3OUGI2
It's completely clear to let the beauty of the N5 shine through. (especially if you have the red or white N5) It's a little bit softer than the Spigen version, has good grippiness, and probably more "bounce" if you dropped it.

Slippery matte back

Does anyone else feel the finish on the back doesn't have as much grip as the nexus 5? I never use cases and hope with time the matte finish will get broken in and not feel slippery.

Yes! I actually ordered a cheap case just because of that. Makes me sad.

I'm on the fence because it seems like it adds a bit of bulk. I used to have a Spigen case for my old Nexus 5 and loved it (great quality product) so I'm very tempted to get this.
But I love the size and the original case that comes with the phone really keeps the phone slim. Decisions, decisions...lol

Are you using any kind of Tempered glass with it?
If yes, then does the cover affect it in any way?

I'm with you on this one, don't get me wrong I'm sure its a truly beautiful case as they usually are from spigen but looking at the pictures I see that it does add that unwanted bulk for me.
I'm actually finding the opx case that's shipped with it is quite nice.

Case is beautiful. And yes adds some bulk.. I personally like it because I want to protect my phone... Otherwise any case will hide the actual beauty of the phone... And by the way am not using any tampered glass.. It's the original screen protector...

It fits perfectly mate.. No questions on the quality front.. It's the real deal... If you need protection we need to compromise on that
Sent from my ONE E1003 using XDA Free mobile app

Mine came a couple of days ago. It looks amazing and feels great in the hand, as the device is so thin and light the added bulk doesn't make it feel any more bulky plus it actually feels a lot more solid to hold. My only disappointment is how big it looks from the front, but it isn't too bad and I suspect over time I'll get use to it.
My favourite part of the case is that they've done a great job with the slider cut-out, I struggled to use the switch in the case that comes with the phone but with this it's nice and easy!

Good case, satisfied with it.. Safety is first.. I like it

I received yesterday my red silicone case from Oneplus. I would like to know if anyone knows how to make it less sticky because when i put it in my pocket it collects litter...
By the way i'm thinking about buying a Spigen case but the postage from Spigen is more expensive than the case. Anyone in the UK that can buy one from ebay (£5,99) and then send it to me in Portugal? The cost to send it by RoyalMail International Standard is £2.45. Of course i would send the money first by bank transfer.
Regards

Received mine two days ago; I love it! The case that came with the phone was too flimsy and a little loose. It was basically there just so the rear glass doesn't get fingerprints. It offered very little to no protection. I'm loving the Spigen case as it gives a much better grip, and isn't very bulky either. The phone is too slim for my taste, anyway. I prefer a better grip any day. With the Spigen case, the phone looks like an oversized iPod touch. (Source: my friend's iPod touch.) So, not bad at all.

it make the phone HUGE

awesome. love it. will definitely buy one. thanks for you video review:good:

Can anyone use this on white opx ? I want to see.. Plz help me out

Which case are you using on your Moto Z play ?

I am currently using an armoured case which is quite good but it makes my phone quite thick and heavy. I am thinking to buy Nilkin frost hard case. It is a bit expensive as it doesn't provide much protection. Any reviews about it ?

There is a section accessories where a thread with very similar title exists. You may find some ideas and case reviews there. You may also look for different threads.

Same. I was using a TPU case but the dust built up a bit after a while so I decide to return to using the shell only.

I use this TPU case in black without moto shell, it covers top and bottom. It ships from Hong Kong (or China) though.
