Best case for Nexus 5?

[B. Diddy]

Which would be the best out of , these TPU cases off ebay Cruzerlight Bugdroid, and this caseology one or should I just keep my Neo Hybrid?

Welcome to Android Central! I have the Caseology leather-feel one, which I really like. It looks great, has a nice soft feel on the back, and is not slippery at all. It does add a bit of bulk to the back, though. But all edges are protected, and it's easy to put on and take off.

I bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid with the clear back. I've always used super heavy duty cases in the past, but this time I wanted the beauty of the red case/nexus logo to be seen.

Might get one to compare with my Neo Hybrid then.
Only thing is that I don't really like the glossy sides, reckon it's possible to sand it down a bit to get a bit of a matte look? (I remember doing something similar for a project at school, but I have no idea if it'd work with tpu)

I think my friend has one for his white one and to be honest, I didn't like the look of it. Although in those pictures, the red one looks good!

You're right, the sides are pretty glossy. Not sure how well they'd sand down. A big plus of the Caseology is that they're really cheap--they often go on sale through eBay for $5, with free shipping.

Is there anything out there similar to the BoostCase for iPhone. It allows you to carry 2 or more cards on the back of the phone.
The GF is used to using this style of case (pic below), and I recently got her a Red Nexus 5. She doesnt want a big bulky flip case (I don't blame her) but would like something similar to this. I am having trouble finding anything.

This is probably a stupid question but here goes. My Nexus 5 should be here Tuesday and I'm going to get the Spigen slim case. Will it fit in jeans pocket OK with that case? I currently have a Note 2 with otterbox that fits in my pockets.

It will.

I also have the Tech 21 case. It has a slim profile and been the best case I've ever had on any phone. It fit's so well that it looks like it's part of the phone. The case is awesome. I highly recommend it. A little pricey though! Check out the link and read about the specs and technology this case offers. http://www.tech21.com/google-nexus-5-case-impact-frame-black/

The Tech 21 case really does look good, but covering up the back of my red N5 is not an option. I bought the red N5 because it looks good, and want to see it. Hence, I have a clear Ringke case. But if I had the typical black phone, I might feel differently about covering it up. I don't understand why people buy the red or white N5 then cover it up.

The Tech21 cases are awesome. I have one on my Note 3 and I love it. The fit is oerfext, it offers great protection, the cutout for the headphone jack is big enough to accommodate any headphone jack, and it doesn't get greasy or scratched up. Can't go wrong with Tech21.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 3... yeah, it's spectacular!

I got the rock flip cover for my nexus 5 , the only downside is being a flip cover you can't see the notification light as they have not provided a cut out there , but the case looks high quality , here are some pics I made of the case from my Lumia 925

I prefer a flip cover for mine.

 

[ickymini]

I would prefer having a wallet/clutch case for my phone! I normally get them through boxwave. but mostly I just buy a bunch and switch out... -_-

 

[Igneel]

Can you recommend me some good case? I'm not sure now having a flip cover.
