Is there an Otherbox Defender case for the N5?

If not, what is the closest equivalent?

As of right now no. I'm not are of anything even remotely close either.

Oterbox didn't make any cases for the nexus 4 either. But they do seem to be trying to judge rather or not there is enough interest atm. I'd contact them and tell them you want them to make one for the nexus 5. The more people that do the better the chances they might decide to make one.

I really hope they will myself because I love my defender case on my BB. I'm going to miss it otherwise when the nexus 5 gets here

This is the closest thing to an Otterbox.

awesome looks like that one just popped up. I'm sure there will more case options in the coming weeks. For now I bought the the Diztronics Matte Black TPU case as a temp solution. I'd much prefer something like the otterbox as I had one on my previous device a BB for years. I cant even tell you how many times I dropped that thing. Even had it fly out of the truck while driving once without a scratch lol.

This case Amazon.com: i-Blason Armorbox for Google Nexus 5 by LG Dual Layer Hybrid Full-body Protective Case with Front Cover and Built-in Screen Protector and Impact Resistant Bumpers (Black): Cell Phones & Accessories is pretty much an otterbox for half the cost.

The Armorbox is selling for $4.95 on Amazon shipping from i-Blason on 11/19. You can't go wrong on this deal. Good call ktamondo!!!

Guys, since my N5 should be here before hump day (and maybe even TODAY), is there something that I can buy in a store so I can have it right away?

If not, is there anything I can order that is available NOW?

This Spigen Slim Armor is the same dual layer protection as the Otherbox Defender. I just got this case that I ordered on Thursday afternoon with regular shipping. I want people to ask me if it is a Apple 5S so I can say no this is a Nexus 5 not a tiny iphone.

Would you mind posting a few pictures of the phone with Slim Armor on when you get it, if you don't a already have it? I'm curious about how much bulk it adds.
