Good for us looking for cases for day 1 protection just seen MobileDen and MobileFun have the FlexiShield cases in stock, guess if we are spending £500 at least we should give this baby some protection for now!
Both selling for £9.99 ex delivery.
that's sweet!
this is what i like about the Galaxy S line
accessories always are out before the device is even on the street
How is this a TPU case?
Just recently heard about these, so I don't know much about them, but it doesn't seem like this is a TPU case.
it sure looks like one, TPU is a kind of polyurethane plastics which holds up great not like the old silicone case which lost it's shape pretty quickly
Think a mod edited my original title! I've got a very similar case on my DHD got it from fleabay and they are very good!
yes i did
i'm using that exact same case on my Nexus S
better price in my opinion so i got my self two of each

Thanks for the link I just bought the purple one from them as like a bit of colour and it's only £1.95 so can always get a different one if I don't like it lol
As for the case in the OP it's already had a negative review for being too slippery so I hope this one isn't the same. I'm a Capdase user for my HD2 and was hoping there'd be one available for the SII but there's not just yet so this one will do till it becomes available. Thanks again.

Great news
My first one was "assembled in USA"
Second one was "assembled in China"
The former fit perfectly the latter did not, it was actually quite hard to put on and did not seem to have the fit and finish / overall quality of the original USA made case!
Anyone else have similar observation?
I just picked up a USA made Defender and it fits very well, overall nice rugged case!
Mine says China... How do you get one that is made in the USA? Is it just 'luck'?
Mine was made in the US and it is a great looking case and fits like a glove.

+1 US. Couldn't ask for a better fit. White BTW.
Mine is also white and Made in the US. A perfect fit and perfect build quility. On the other hand after I saw this post I recalled a classmate complaining about his. It turned out his was made in China as well.

It's a Lottery but you can see if you're a "winner" before playing.
Just look at the bottom of the retail package. It will be printed on where the product was assembled.
It's also stamped on the back inner shell inside.

Ok cool. I was hoping you'd say it was on the packaging. I had already thrown mine away, but I do see it on the inside of the case. I guess I will try to find one from the US and compare.

The first sample was purchased at a corporate Sprint store in May. The second (China made) was also purchased at a corporate Sprint store but in a different location.
The Defender I just picked up (USA) was from a local Best Buy store. I noticed it's on bestbuy.com for $29.99 but is $49.99 in the store. Brought this to CSR attention and they immediately adjusted the price. $29.99 is a pretty good price for a Defender!

I know this a bump to an old thread, but I finally got around to picking up an Otterbox Commuter that is 'Assembled in USA'. I can say that it is definitely a better quality build than my Chinese-made Commuter. So to anyone that is looking to buy an Otterbox, I'd recommend looking on the bottom of the packaging and making sure that it says 'Assembled in USA'.

That is a good price it's just that BB only carries the basic black colors.
I have an otter box commuter that I stopped using because the fitment was horrible. I decided to make a warranty claim through otter box and within 30 minutes I had an approval and a case being shipped out Monday.
My commuter was made in the US but it was subpar in terms of quality. I also made the request for the new case to be black, if it were at all possible, and sure enough they sent me an updated confirmation with a black one as opposed to the glacier color I originally had, as it looked utterly disgusting after a months use.
I must say, I was very upset with otter box for the crap quality, but they have definitely reinstated my trust by making this so seamless.
And to think, I bought the case for $20 from a friend who bought it in error for his One X.
I have a commuter in the punked color, it is USA made, but I have always had a beef with the fit of the hard plastic outer particularly the diagonal portion to the right of the camera, it had never laid flat against the rubber. Some else having this same issue?

The replacement car otter box sent me was the same. it ended up requiringa bit of playing with but it ended up clicking in. the fitments isg tight so just play with it.
FYI, the old one was made in the USA and had a very loose fitment.the new one is made in China and is clearly different and fits almost too tight... But it fits. My qualm with it is the silicone is so tight it makes the one look like a gs3 in shape. I loved the otter box for my iPhone 5 but it seems like the HTC one model doesn't share the same fit and finish.

I completely agree with you.
Before the covers were much more quality, today don't fit right on the phone.
With the usage time it gets even more worse.
Now try to write a review on their site. Appears your review? Of course that not. They only allow reviews to praise, pathetic and Sad
Just picked up a USA made commuter today and its fitment is perfect.
Just got my "Assembled in China" Otterbox Commuter Black case and it fits my HTC One Stealth Black perfectly. I actually bought it from the US (location of eBay seller). I'm about to post a review of the case - i'll link back here.

EXACT same issue, with the exact same case. I just got mine from Amazon yesterday (not a fulfillment, just shipped, and sold from Amazon) and I requested a refund. There was no way I could get it to fit, even without the phone in the case. I wanted a change in color from the White/Grey so I knew how it was supposed to fit.
Too bad they are back ordered on Amazon for 3-5 weeks
Hey guys, a friend of mine just got his nexus 5 and he's looking for a case that will fit well with generic glass screen protector, something at about 15-20 dollars from eBay. Thank you and merry Christmas for those who celebrate.
$10 Ringke Hybrid case has been serving me well. Shows off the back of the phone and won't interfere with any SP.

As its quite long since the launch of N5 and after going through so many cases I would suggest you this shellster beltclip/kickstand case for your Nexus 5...as personally I own this case and m really impressed with the quality and comfort of this case...it allows you to have a very fine grip on the phone...and make your phone safe too...

Here ya go, I'll pimp my own thread hahah. I did a few reviews for ridiculously cheap/good deal ebay cases (all have a bunch of pictures). This is if you're into hardcases anyway. If you want softer cases (TPU/Rubber/Gel) meant for drop protection then these ones probably aren't up your alley. They will all work with screen protectors though.
Out of all of them, I recommend the Quicksand cases!!. They've sold so well though that the price has since increased to $1.99 with free shipping.

I picked up the Spigen case from Amazon. It's built well and fitment is great. It came with the screen protector. Like many others report, it has a lot of issues. Their customer service is a joke regarding the known issue as they request photos and vidoes. Really? All they had to do was read the Amazon reviews to see the first run was faulty.
Either way, the case is solid. Just don't get their screen protectors.
i ended up getting a tpu case for £1.90, its pretty darn good, also a tempered glass screen protector ive put on, im pretty confident its well protected now..

I bought this case it fits great all buttons are easy to use with it on. The only issue one might have is the cut out on the bottom for the USB port may not be big enough for some third party USB cord ends.

You've probably come across this. Its a little bulkier than I hoped but its growing on me. I love the tempered glass but wish I hadn't been so eager to stick it on--no bubbles, just the tiniest piece of lint inside. Its hardly noticeable, and undetectable unless the screen is lighter background, but those things bother me. Next time I'll use latex gloves to apply it.
I like the glass back to but not crazy about the amazon logo being in full view. What do people think about a nice android logo or cyanogenmod decal?
Also...the headphone cut out doesn't leave room for larger audio jacks. It doesn't affect me but Some peoples car jacks won't connect.
Overall excellent buy for the money.

Thanks for the tip. For $9, it's like buying the tempered glass and getting the case for free. Definitely worth a try with no real downside if it turns out to be too bulky.

It was a great deal. To be honest, only reason its bulkier than I thought was because one of the reviews said it was "less bulky than expected..." But the pic in the ad doesn't really mislead. It'll probably be the same size as you imagine--about a half inch thick.
And take my advice applying the glass. Its super easy but read it through first and keep it as clean as possible.

AT&T store case sale
Local AT&T stores seem to be having a fire sale on Fire Phone cases. I picked up a nice Speck case, retail $35 for $5. They had several other cases there too. This has also been mentioned on Slickdeals re the eBay Fire Phone/Amazon Prime deal (the price of the eBay deal seems to change from $139 to $189 depending on the sellers mood).

I got a white case from Speck with the CandyShell design.

They had the Blue and the Pink. They also had a leather case that said 50% off of $35, but when they rung it up it was $5. Leather was nice and small but offered little protection...no raised lip around the display.
There might have been some others...don't remember them all. They were on a clearance rack.

I found the Incipio extended battery case at my local ATT store marked down from 90 to 10. You pretty much just have to go ask and someone will go dig around in the back and find what they have. I also picked up a regular incipio case with the aluminum back, but is kind of warped already and doesn't stay on that well. For 5 bucks, it's not even worth taking back to exchange!
I just bought the Amazon Polyurethane Case for Fire Phone, Blue when I purchased the phone they had them for $10. It works great, doesn't get in the way of the buttons/ports while still protecting the corners, and has a nice texture that isn't too slick but cleans up well. It barely adds anything to the phones dimensions as well.
I bought the Incipio Dual Shine case from an AT&T store for $10 and it has been pretty good. A little heavy, but the brushed metal back looks slick. I've dropped it a few times and it has held up.
My kid brother has the fusion case in Red, it does look really nice. He told me that he used to find the phone quite slippery without the case.
