Too bad all colours except one are sold out :crying:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Cowboy_Henk:
But I find it strange that they say the white and red vs the black N5 have different dimensions??

http://mediadevil.com/eu/artisanpou...exus-5-by-lg.html?___store=mediadevil_eur_eng

IMPORTANT: We have two different Nexus 5 case sizes, because the Black device is a slightly different size to the White and the Red devices. Please ensure that you select the correct colour device to ensure that your case fits correctly.

I thought they are all the same?

For the White/red N5 you have all colours!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] californicated:
The black phone has soft-touch coating. That make it more difficult to get the phone into/out of the pouch. So some companies offer different sizes.

Ordered the following leather pouch from etsy:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Cowboy_Henk:
Hmmm yeah. But I wanted the toast made back cover and side skins AND the mime ghost screen protector. They all make the N5 al little larger by a millimeter or so. But i think wood slides better than soft touch coating... Man this is difficult!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] californicated:
Well, just ask the support which version to buy. The contact is great.

Btw. I received the handmade leather pouch today. I'll report as soon as I'm back home. The shop got great reviews.

I really want to get a Golla Phone Wallet (the Geordi preferably, but any of the others that size will do) to replace the Golla bag I had for my original Droid. But I can't for the life of me find anyone who will ship it to the US. Spent over an hour looking already. :(

I'd really hoped that in 34 pages of this thread, someone would have posted a similar case, but no such luck. I felt the same pain back when I had my Galaxy Nexus. I was so desperate that I even tried to carry that phone in my old Golla bag even though it stuck out by almost an inch haha. Not gonna even try with my Nexus 5 though. And now I remember why I hadn't posted on xda in forever... can't post links d'oh. Guess you guys will have to Google Golla yourselves.

I found a leather pouch with pull tab on amazon.de

http://www.amazon.de/mumbi-Ledertas...=UTF8&qid=1393711970&sr=8-17&keywords=nexus+5

Not as good as the Mediadevil Artisan pouch but not bad for half the price of it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Ekofasc:
I bought this after seeing your post. Indeed it is quite tight, the power button is pressed when I insert the phone, and I have to struggle somewhat to get the phone out of the pouch. I'll use it for a few days and see whether it gets more loose, and how annoying it is to pull the phone out of the pouch.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ynrozturk:
Not sure if mentioned before, as I didn't read the entire thread, but Noreve makes what seems to be a very nice leather pouch.

http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/product/LG_Nexus_5_leather_case.html

I have one on the way, I will write a review once I get my hands on it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] SpecialBrewDaddy:
This is good. By the way do you think nexus 5 with case will fit in it? TIA!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Chi Am:
These do look very nice, similar to my previous Blackberry Bold 9000 pouch. No potentially breakable, superfluous pull tab which I believe is a plus, minimalistic makes it more elegant and less gimmicky..........but unfortunately Noreve didn't put enough thought into the production of the pouch with due considerations for the N5 in mind.

It seems nearly all the manufacturers doesn't realize the N5 has the sleep/wake function. Hope they are reading this Post so.............

MAGNET FOR THE SLEEP/WAKE FUNCTION

-please-
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ynrozturk:
I have a good relationship with them, I will definitely let them know about that.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Chi Am:
TY TY TY :cyclops:

I wasn't directing the message to any company in particular but to all manufacturers in general.

It is reassuring that someone knows what is lacking in a product.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ynrozturk:
Of course, it's the only way to make things better ;)

Noreve are really open minded about suggestions and changes. I suggested that they also start making some other accessories out of leather (because the leather they use is really fantastic) and within a few months they had DSLR cases, cases for pens, paper, etc.

Hi,

I recently fitted an Ultraslim Sena case for the HTC One to my Nexus 5.

I shaped a piece of balsa wood to resemble the shape of the Nexus, split it in two pieces and then used a pencil to stretch the leather of the case. To achieve a better result, I also soaked the case with water.

After one day, the phone goes in very smoothly, but is still a bit difficult to extract, probably because of the material used for the back of the black Nexus.

I am adding some pics of the process.

Ok guys, I'm divided between the Adore June Classic Sleeve and the Mumbi case with tab, but none of them have at least some holes on the bottom of the sleeve to get better ringing sound... any other pouch in the style of those two with some holes on the bottom?? I know that Mediadevil has holes but it's a bit pricey compared with the other two... I don't want to pay more than €15/£13 for a pouch...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jasper-l-vd:
mediadevil case

Do you mean that friction (phone vs pouch) has increased over time? Is it still usable?

cheers!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] --anx--:
Still usable...yes...but I noticed that the friction effect has increased...

Now I'm trying to make a little bit bigger the Bugatti SilmFit...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] omartins:
Hi, if you decide yourself to go with the adore June, choose a bigger phone model. I bought the one meant for the z1 and could still hang the sleeve up side down without letting the phone fall. That said I must assume the model meant for the nexus 5 would be super hyper tight.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] onesolo:
Didn't like the aspect of the pulling tab on the mumbi pouch. I choosed the adore.

But, I choose the one for the N5... why would I want to choose a pouch from another model that is not meant for my phone?? Didn't understand your quote on this aspect...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] myself11:
From the reviews I read, I think he meant Adore pouch is too tight, so a bigger model would be a better fit.

[MENTION=298306]onesolo[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3590743]omartins[/MENTION]: where did you guys buy from?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onesolo:
Amazon uk.

Still haven't received.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] omartins:

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

Because I found some information saying it would be hard to pull the phone out of the pouch because it is very tight. That said, choosing a pouch for a slightly bigger model should be a wise decision. From my experience as I already stated the Z1 model is a good option for the nexus 5, but of course, you are free to choose whatever you like.

Just as a curiosity, after you get yours, share your experience here, please.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] glaudrem:
Is the mediadevil artisan pouch going to be available again sometime? Just asking...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onesolo:
Just received the Adore pouch... like it a lot.

Love the design and the N5 fits perfectly inside of it.

The only down is that sometimes it's a bit difficult to put the N5 inside of it, but no problems at all to take it off.

The interior of the pouch it's great to keep the N5 clean, specially the screen side.

Recommend it to everyone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] svarte:
It's available at Amazon.co.uk . I ordered mine three days ago, and waiting to be delivered next week.

So after a couple of months of using my N5 with the LG QuickCover flipcase on, I suddenly realised this phone is way too damn stylish to put any sort of case on.

One impulse buy later, I'm waiting for my Adore June pouch to arrive (N5 business edition)...

Will post my review when it gets here!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ZeGuitarist:
Just received the Adore pouch!

First impressions: it's a quality product. The fabrics are nice, and I especially like the fleece lining inside, which wraps the phone snugly so it holds well, and actually wipe the screen clean of smudges when you pull the phone out.

Contrary to what many reviewers were saying about the fit on the Classic case being too tight, none of the buyers of the Business model had similar complaints, and neither have I. The fit is perfect: tight enough so the phone won't fall out when shaken or turned upside down, but not too tight, it's still easy to pocket and pull out the phone.

And of course, the biggest plus to using this case, or any case for that matter: you get to use your beautiful N5 naked. ;)

Will post more details after some use, along with pics (if I can get them, since my N5 is my only camera!).

Only the best for the best!

Been using these two since Nexus 5 was launched. The longer I used these pouches, the more beautiful the leather texture gets. :good:

Adore June for Nexus 5

I'm looking for a nice pouch for my Nexus 5, because I don't want the one with pull-tab, I'm thinking to get the Adore June. Anyone know if the classic and business versions are the same? They have different dimensions on their own site and it sounds a bit wierd to me:

Classic:

88 x 155 x 9 mm

3.46 x 6.10 x 0.35 Inch

Business:

84 x 148 x 5 mm

3.31 x 5.83 x 0.20 Inch

Especially the thickness of 9 mm vs 5 mm is a bit wierd. I want my Nexus 5 in my jeans pocket so thickness is kinda important for me. Anyone can tell me more?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] glaudrem:
Link please?

---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

Can you provide link please?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ae8za:
Do Google these two brands, Charbonize and Atelier Pall. Happy shopping!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] glaudrem:
Thanks mate!

Edit: While I googled that, I found them quite expensive. I finally ordered from Amazon.es the ArtisanPouch from Mediadevil (black leather/red strap) and I find it superb, even being a bit loose. 25EUR with shipping and worth every penny, greatly surprised with the package!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
For people looking at the Adore June Classic case, here's my 2 cents:

I just got it, and it looks beautiful. The texture is almost soft denim-y and feels extremely soft and supple. It feels just gorgeous. The inside is lined with a thick material, something akin to wool, which helps remove fingerprints from the screen. The fit is very good, although I would have preferred it to be slightly tighter, because if held upside down and shaken, my phone slips out. The other people who have a problem with it being too tight is not evident here, perhaps Adore June caught on and made their pouches slightly larger. The screen can not be interacted with when the pouch is on; I used to have problems when my phone was in my pocket, as my skin could touch the screen through the fabric of my pants pockets.

The one gripe I have with this is that the sound - which was already low to begin with - is reduced much more when the phone is inside the pouch. I feel I'll be missing quite a few notifications and calls while wearing earphones connected to my music player/PC, or if there's a lot of ambient noise, because now even the notification LED is invisible. To check for notifications, I'll now need to slide the phone out and interact with it, increasing the number of steps. It helps that I've enabled dt2w. I understand that these aren't problems due to the pouch, however.

All in all, a beautiful pouch. 10/10 would buy again. If anyone's interested in pictures, I'll upload a couple showing the fit.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dawnut:
I personally think that there is no better pouch than the ones Mediadevil do. Absolutely slick design, fits best, highest quality full grain leather. The price can be a little bit high for some people (around 20£), but it's DEFINATELY worth it. Recomending to anyone, really. Just ordered mine, there are even some youtube reviews about it, hands down the beat phone case I will ever be using.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jefflikesbagels:
Just went through this entire thread, and couldn't find a suitable case for me. I currently have a Caseology TPU case, and I'm looking for a magnetic belt pouch, much like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Quali...=1407765608&sr=1-2&keywords=nexus+5+belt+clip

I ordered one, and the belt loops ripped apart within minutes of me using it. Tearing it apart revealed that it's actually cardboard with 0.015" thick "leather". That's like three or four strands of hair thick. I have been searching all over Amazon and eBay, and can't find a single heavy duty belt pouch. I work in a manufacturing plant, so I absolutely need something heavy duty for when I'm working.

I'm afraid to get the belt clip holster type, because there's still the possibility of the entire holster unclipping from my belt, plus the associated cases for them are bulky and ugly. Perhaps if I could slip my Caseology case into one, it would be better. Plus I don't care at all for the kickstand.

Is the Skinny XL tight enough to hold the phone also upside down?

By the way, today I wrote to the following manufacturers asking for leather pouches tailored on Nexus 5:

Sena Cases [Ultraslim model]

Beyzacases [Retro Strap or Zero models]

Bugatti [Pure Premium model]

Spigen [Crumena S model]

I'm waiting for answers
[Nexus 5 Accessories] silent assassin:
This is the one I got last year:

http://www.amazon.de/bugatti-Skinny...sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=bugatti+skinny+charcoal

So yes, skinny XL and loving it. Already 4 of my friends use the same with their Nexus 4. It is a perfect fit.

I just hope my N5 will fit nicely in it, but I don't think the 0.4 mm width difference will be a problem :).

Next week I will have my N5 (hopefully) and will let you guys know.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PaulCayard:
I wrote to Spigen too (via email and via Facebook for Crumena leather Pouch).

If you obtain an answer from one or more of these manufacturers, could you post here the answer? Thank you very much!

I have a Crumena leather Pouch for Galaxy Nexus and after 2 years is perfect!!

I've noted that PDAIR has posted a "Coming soon" for Nexus 5 tailored leather pouches. I bought a PDAIR leather pouch for my sister phone and it is a very good product.

EDIT: I hope that a Crumena leather Pouch will be produced for Nexus 5... (for Nexus 4 it doesn't exist). So... request it to Spigen via mail/fb/twitter...!!!

Bugatti case likely too small as it the N4 was even a "tight" fit. N5 probably pushing it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 2.0t03speed:
I just ordered a Bugatti Elements XL Pouch for my nexus 5. If it can fit a n4 w/ a case on it should have no problem with the 5. Also i have an old sena ultraslim case that i bought for my old verizon gnex. i just put my gs3 in it and it's a tight fit but after a while it should stretch out. Why do i mention my gs3? because according to specs its 1.43mm wider then the nexus 5. So when my nexus 5 gets here on monday it should have no problems fitting inside =D

Thanks. Very bad news :crying:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sunnycheeba:
I think the problem will be the length. The Nexus 5 is 137.84mm long, which is about the full length of the case (approx 140mm). When I originally suggested this pouch it was going by the dimensions shown by the FCC for the LG D820 which were (131.9 x 68.2 x 8.6). Fitting the N5 into the pouch should actually be an easier fit then the Nexus 4. Although the N4 glass did help it slide in, where as the N5 soft back maybe stickier getting in. I will have my N5 in a week and report on the fit then.

Nexus 4 - 68.7mm (width) x 9.1mm (depth) = 625.17

Nexus 5 - 69.17mm (width) x 8.59mm (depth) = 594.17
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gaglia_88:
Well Bugatti Elements XL Pouch is cool but not as slimfit as i'm looking for!

According to the spreadsheet i made Nexus 5 should fit the Elements case very easily due to smaller longitudinal section compared to the Nexus 4.

Currently my Nexus 4 wears a Sena Ultraslim designed for HTC One X, and despite the slightly higher longitudinal section it is not as tight as it should be due to +1.2 mm width.

By this experience i think that the width is a key parameter for a tight pouch.

According to the spreadsheet, Galaxy S4 pouches should be the right choice. The S4 extra width will help compensating the higher depth of the Nexus 5.

I think i'll get this one and i'll try to stretch out in depth:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] jbs92:
Using mine on my N5 currently. Here are some pics (excuse quality). The Nexus 5 stick out by about 3-4mm from the top of the Bugatti. It is passable IMO due to the arching of the ends of the phone from left to right, so it is only as prominent in the middle of the pouch, but you can obviously feel it sticking out a bit playing with it in your hands.

Try the holster for the BlackBerry Z30

Last year, I discovered that the leather holster that BlackBerry released for the Z10 was a perfect fit for the Nexus 4. Say what you want about their phones but BlackBerry puts out some very nice accessories.

Anyway, comparing the dimensions of the Nexus 5 to the Nexus 4, I don't think that the 5 is going to fit in the Z10 holster. However, when I look at the dimensions of the Z30, things look promising. So I'm hunting around for a BlackBerry Z30 leather pouch and once my Nexus 5 arrives, I'm going to give it a try. If it fits well, I'll post back.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gaglia_88:
Awesome, thx for sharing.. It's a tight fit? I mean it holds the phone upside down?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jbs92:
When I first got it for my N4 it was a tight fit. It doesn't slip now but the leather has obviously stretched a bit.

If anyone else's is loose, you could probably get it wet, dry it to shrink it down a bit, then re-stretch it with the N5. I'm not too fussed though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gaglia_88:
Well, the important thing is that the phone does not slip out by itself :good:

You can choose between several colors with or without the android roboter. I just ordered 4 alcantara pouches for my friends. Ultimately I picked the blue full android pouch for myself :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ritzxda:
Thanks. That looks classy...but it's pricey! I've got a cheap neoprene pouch with an Android logo which cost me about $3USD. This is tempting but at 20+euros is a bit expensive in my opinion.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] m8tix:
Yea that's true, costs around 30€ with the android logo but quality wise I'm very pleased with it. My pouch from last year still looks very good and the alcantara material inside cleans every time the display when pulling out.

I stopped using screen protectors and bumper cases because they destroy the feeling of the phone itself. With such a pouch my smartphone is safe in my pocket and when I pull it out on the desk it sits on the pouch. Not a single scratch on my s3 with that experience.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gaglia_88:
