Cases I have tried

Spigen neo ultra hybrid-
best case. Solid, doesnt feel cheap.

iBlason white bumper-
Horrible, felt and looked cheap and like a toy

Supcase unicorn bumper
-good, but rubber bumper chipped somehow.

Poetic bumper
-ok, plastic feels cheap, but ok.

Ringke Slim -
Love it. Excellent fit, grippy, phone feels like there is no case.

My suspicion is this was on a limited batch, or they have corrected it, as there were no sharp edges on the one I received.

Oh I might have to order that one now too! Can anyone else confirm this?

Take a risk and give it a shot. It's only $8 on Amazon. Now if you are dropsy prone with your phone, this may not be the case for you, as the end top edges are not protected. My main goal was to provide some protection while maintaining the phone's slimness so it will easily fit in my shirt pockets.

I am a huge klutz so I need an ultra protective case (please Otterbox, make a case for the Nexus 5) so right now I have an i-Blason case (found on Amazon here). While I can't seem to figure out how to get the kickstand out the case itself fits amazing and feels great in the hands. It is still just a temporary case until I get my Spigen Slim Armor Case but I have no doubts that this guy can survive some drops. I am curious as to why there are hard corners as I thought soft rubber would take the shock a bit better. Any ideas?

Just got my Ballistic SG for my N5. It does add bulk, but I routinely test gravity during the winter, and my Infuse 4G survived me landing directly on the phone twice with no damage at all, So I am happy. I will keep my Spigen Slim Armor for the Summertime

Spigen slim armour, very good quality and tough without adding to much bulk

How is the molding. My Rinkge slim armor has a seam from the mold which is very annoying.

Nexus 5 Ballistic Case

I use the FUSION? Google Nexus 5 case bumper [GRAY] with mine. The bumper grip is excellent, it comes with a spare guide so you can cut any picture you like to display through the clear back, the buttons are highly responsive. It's not the touch case type I've used on past phones but I really, really like it–makes holding it for camera shots very easy, too. It looks sleek, too!

Ballistic SG here. Tried about 3 different ones from Amazon before Ballistic's became available. Hands down, IMO, Ballistic makes the best cases.
