[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bombn:
Great stuff.

Just got 2 cases in the mail as well. The Light Brown and the Black. Both are fantastic quality and as good or better than expected. Ordered on the 31st after I bought the phone so quick shipping. Now all I need is my phone! :p
[Nexus 5 Accessories] busab:
Dang! I like that color. After I get my Nexus 5 next week I may order that color. Assuming I like the way it fits and feels in hand with the phone.

It would be nice if it had "nexus" laser etched into the back.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] busab:
Without actually having the phone its hard to say for certain. It looks like it would though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] A.VOID:
These are $3 shipped on amazon right now. Use the two codes on the page.

Got the blue matte this am. $2.99 shipped.

Glad to see it doesn't suck
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 1N23456:
What codes?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shah_vm:
codes are not working any more.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jaxidian:
I got the white leather one in. It's very nice but I'm slightly disappointed that it does NOT have the marble effect shown in the photos.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] techrider6262:
I like the clear one it shows off the nexus logo
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trjcasper:
Ordered the black one from Amazon. $9 shipped.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fotaz:
I just got mine in today (white and navy blue) and I'm already disappointed. The power button cutout is way too big, and completely different in size from the product images on Amazon. I'll test it out once I get in my phone in tomorrow and hope for the best, but I'm thinking there was a reason for the sale.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
You will be further disappointed. That cutout makes it uncomfortable to find and press the power button. Also, in that cutout area the case that comes off too easily from the edge of the screen. I know it was only $5 but I'm disappointed nevertheless. I think I'm going to order Diztronic case now.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fotaz:
Well damn, more bad news. Thanks for the info, I guess I'm shopping for cases again.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
That's not what I wanted to hear. For $3.49 I can't really complain too much, although I was hoping this would be a decent case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] raffstyle:
Placed an order few days ago from Amazon, got my shipment email this afternoon.

Now i got a cancellation email from seller and amazon.

Booooo! I will never buy anything from them again!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] narta:
Same here. due to technical reasons. They got my money and now they give me the midle finger! AHOLES!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] osugsxr:
placed order for the black leather one, looks nice and good reviews. I was really tempted on the brown one though, for the price its not bad
[Nexus 5 Accessories] busab:
Dang I'm disappointed to hear about the problems with this case. My Nexus is scheduled for delivery today. I thought I had bought a good case.

I'll update this post with pictures of the problems with the case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] teshxx:
I wish it didn't have the ****ty logo. I paid for the damn case I don't want any logos on it (subtle logos are fine)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
That would be cool. Let us know. I may possibly get the case today as well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
You can probably get the logo off with goo gone, but I haven't tried it. I use this all the time to get auto decals off my cars to paint/plasti dip them.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] teshxx:
Hmmm never thought about going that far... But would love to test it lol. I might just order one and go to home depot and see if this works.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
Case is on the way and I already have some goo gone. Will give it a try and see how it goes.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] teshxx:
Keep us posted. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trjcasper:
Or acetone
[Nexus 5 Accessories] teejnut:
Got the case and the Nexus 5. Gotta say I'm disappointed in the case. The thickness of the case is pretty substantial and makes the phone pretty big. The power cutout is annoying since its so big, don't see why they need a cutout for the sim slot. The "leather" looks nice but it's kind of slippery to me.

I usually use Diztronic TPU cases so will get one of those. I also ordered the Ringke Slim case to try as well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gamerZ1:
Can I find it here in Europe. ebay.co.uk? amazon.co.uk?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Prog_Drummer:
Cheapest place I can find it is amazon.com, delivered to the UK at just over £10.

Not sure if its worth it or not...

Is anyone able to post pictures of the phone in the case?

Thanks

Here's the amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=nexus%205%20caseology
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dia_naji:
Bought mine off amazon for 5$ . Should come in tomorrow
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fotaz:
Quick update w/ pic, as expected the case isn't great. They made the cutout include the SIM tray.. just why? And the power button is too close to the edges of the case, making it awkward and difficult to push. Same goes for the volume rocker. This case isn't worth the money IMO, especially with the sale being over.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] busab:
I got my phone today and like everyone else has said, the power button cut out is just plain stupid.

With the exception of that though I really like the look and feel of the case. If they bring out a revised version I may order a new one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
Can you post a pic the other side. I want to see how thick it is in the front. I'll have this case tomorrow and can already tell I'm not going to like it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fotaz:
Sure, attached some more pictures.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TONY206:
I just received my white leather and blue leather cases today. Nail polish remover took off the logo easily.

I agree that the sim card cut out is stupid, but I don't have much of a problem pressing it. Maybe because I'm left handed.

Overall I'm happy with this case and the sale price that I paid.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AllorNothin:
My blue and red leather cases came in today and I'm not too happy with them...I'm gonna keep the red and return the blue
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hackdisk:
Can't complain much for $4 and two-day shipping, but the actual case is different from the Amazon photos..

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51+0230-MLL.jpg

Their photo shows much smaller cutouts (definitely none for the sim!) and some patterns at the back.

If only Google had the black bumper case in stock I would have pulled the trigger and won't risk trying the different cases out there.:(

Oh well, I'll use it till my spigen arrives.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] HelloGQ:
Yeah... what's up with the sim cutout... That makes no sense. The buttons are almost touching the edge of the case. Those amazon pics are nothing like the real thing.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
I received this case today. There is that cutout by the power button that also includes the sim card area. Honestly it looks fine to me though since there is a sim card there. It'd be one thing if it were just a blank space.

I did try to goo-gone to remove the logo. I bet it'd work better on a leather model. For the matte finish, it'll work, but it will take effort.

The back is a little thick IMO. Otherwise I like this case and the fit is good.

All in all knowing what I do now and having actually tried it. I'd still buy it for $3.49.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] embhorn:
I got the brown "leather" one. The power button is awkward to press, but otherwise I'm satisfied with it. I got a Spigen case also, but the rubber makes it stick in my pocket. This one slides out much easier.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sxp123731:
Opposite of the name, this case is very thick.

I will stay with my diztronic for now, returning this case to seller for full refund.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fotaz:
Yes the case is thick and apparently this thickness also messes with the flash when taking photos. I read about this elsewhere, and after testing it out the flash does seem to bounce off the edge of the case's camera cutout and mess with the resulting photo. It's kind of disappointing since I love the Caseology TPU on my S3, but this one clearly needs some revisions.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndroidRaven:
Just wanted to say that I received a black leather one a few days ago and have been using it for about 3 days.

After some use I have to say that this is NOT a good case for the N5.

One reason being that the cutout for the power button is cut larger then the cutout for the volume rocker, and this was idiotically to include the sim tray in the opening which makes no sense at all (How often are people switching out sims where the case has become an issue taking it off and on again).

This large opening has also created a MUCH larger problem, and I believe that the people who do have this case will agree with me on this. I'm coming from the Nexus 4 with a Mercury case on it which was a thick TPU case but with the button cutouts. With the Nexus 4 I could EASILY press the power button simply by feeling where the hole was an pressing....Weeeeellllll with the N5 and this Caseology case you can't do that because the cutout is so massive that you have to keep feeling around for the button and it is simply not convenient.

The OTHER major issue with this is that the cutout of the opening has such a high and thick lip on it right above the power button that if you tried to press the power button you simply can't,,you literally have to turn your finger sideways to reach the button as the lip of the case is so high up that it blocks your finger from actually pressing the button,,,and most of the time you will go to press the power button but as the lip above the button is so thick and raised it will be a big enough bump that it will prevent your finger from hitting the power button, and also at the same time there is not lip on the back part of the case to stop your finger from going too far, and your finger will simply slide off of the case and phone entirely without pressing anything.

If you do have this case go ahead and confirm if you understand what I mean, but it should not be a challenge to press the button which I will press more often throughout my day then any other button on the phone. It is a challenge to simply check the time.. then a challenge to turn the screen off again having to press it again.. So bad that I ended up installing a Screen Off widget so I don't have to press the power button again.

Anyway, for right now anyway, and for this version of the Caseology case STAY AWAY!!!...This is honestly a nice looking case, a bit on the thick side but not bad..But the flaw of the power button cutout ruins it completely.

Thought I'd write up a little review of what this case is like before more people spend money

---------- Post added at 02:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 AM ----------

Just read your post, and that is a good picture to show the problem of this case..The cutout for the power button was butchered so badly that the power button falls so close to the lip that it is unreachable
[Nexus 5 Accessories] SykesAT:
Do you find the diztroniuc case much thinner? I was thinking about getting one after being disappointed with the caseology case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] busab:
I agree with you on all your points although I personally don't feel the power button is THAT difficult to press.

I hope they hope they have a revised version soon, because I really do like this case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] busab:
Oops. Deleted
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sxp123731:
Much thinner, go get it ?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] SykesAT:
Done, thanks!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] chlehqls:
I can confirm this case is laughably thicker than what it shows on the product page. I'm returning mine since I got it through Prime. Stay away unless you like the overall shape of the case.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trjcasper:
Agree the case adds thickness to the phone. It does still allow wireless charging using the nexus orb. I really like the leather look, and the case appears to be substantial enough to prevent damage in the event of a drop so I'll use this one until I find something I like better. I have a poetic bumper coming already that I don't expect will satisfy me either.

The power button is not as hard to access as described above. The cutout is ridiculous though. It's clearly not what was pictured in the amazon ad. That's disappointing.

There is a sharp seam all the way around this thing that detracts from any initial impression of a quality item. This is a KIA, not an Audi.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cubskru:
I got the matte white version of this case and I have extremely mixed feeling so far. First of all, with the white nexus 5 this looks stunning. I could not ask for anything more in this department. Also, it has everything you could ask for in the protection department. There is a perfect amount of lip to keep the screen away from a flat surface but not too much that it looks bad. Also its easily removable without damaging the phone at all. But thats where things start getting worse. The case has three major issues. First of all the cutout for the power button is horrible. It makes it extremely awkward to push and is super inconvenient. Also the cutout is super big. For some reason they thing that you should always be able to access the sim card tray. The worst part is that even though its big the button is still so hard to get to. Also the camera cutout for the flash is far too small. The flash will get reflected and ruin every single one of your flash photos by giving a weird light gradient on the side of your photos. Finally, the case was a little thick. Nothing too big but still not the "slim fit" they advertise. Im probably gonna go get a less beautiful but more functional cruzerlite case. Not sure though. I'm thoroughly torn.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
I'm in the same situation. I think I'm leaning towards sending it back but not sure what to get. I have a Cruzerlite on my N4 and it gets the job done but doesn't feel premium. The Bugdroid design Ithat I have on the N4) is cool and all but I just got a bit tired of it honestly.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gbk1:
+1 about all the cons everyone is giving this case

I got this case after watching a drop test on YouTube.

Just wanna +1 about all the cons everyone is giving this case.

'Light Brown' is really more like orange-brown....

With that said, the case looks and feels really really nice. Corners are sturdy. The weight the case adds feels balanced and makes the phone feel a bit more 'premium' - that's the best way I can describe it.

Edit: Returning case. It sucks.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] GHOSTIVVI:
Go for the SUPCASE. Its much better than this case and the spigen hybrid case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
Yeah, I'm going to return it too. Decided to order the Cruzerlite Bugdroid case after all.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gbk1:
I put it on and tried to tolerate it. I really did haha. The materials, build, etc.. was really good and up to my standards. But the damn power button was really awkward and made my hand tire when I was trying to warm up to it.

What made me jump the fence to return it outright (I normally too stubborn to do online returns) was when I revisited the product page on Amazon, 99% if all the pictures had perfect cutouts for the power button and good margins for the flash. Oh the lies...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
They just revised the first picture showing the correct cutout for the power button but the damage has been done. I tried to live with it for a whole week and almost got used to the power button issue but the weak coverage of the bezel in that area (which causes the case to separate from the bezel) pushed me over the edge. You see it often with case manufacturers these days: they come so close but no cigar.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
This case is actually not bad. Thick and I couldn't use as an everyday, but it's not that bad
[Nexus 5 Accessories] floepie:
Which Spigen did you get? I really didn't like either the Neo or the Slim Armor, as I thought they were too bulky, and I didn't like the button overlays.

Is this one at least even a little less bulky than the large Spigen cases?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] SykesAT:
Until you use the camera flash and realize that the case reflect the light back into the lens, effectively making the camera worthless when using the flash.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
Yep, I already figured that out the hard way. I use on my phone maybe 5% of the time. And of course a great pic was ruined having that case on. I've since stopped using it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] embhorn:
I have the black Slim Armor case. I think the Caseology leather might be a tad bit smaller, but not significantly.

The buttons are hard to press in the Caseology TPU case. This is a benefit in that you never accidentally press them, but it has taken some getting used to.

Hello, this case (caseology leather) can interfered with a tempered Glass screen protector?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] coldpenguin:
Hi all,

Got my MDA PRO from t-Mobile last week. As my sim card is 7 years old I needed to contact them for the unlock code so that the phone would recognise the card.

When I did so, I was told that I may need to enter the code later on as the phone may forget it.

I was then told that this was a known problem and that T-Mobile were working on a solution. I asked whether this solution would require me to download any software to the phone or to install anything, or any action on my part. I was told no.

I don't really believe this as surely in order to make this a permanent fix they would have to download to the extended ROM. Surely that cannot be done via a non-interactive push from a server somewhere?

It would need to be a save to the extended rom as the 'simlock' appears before it initialises the network from the sim, and thus cannot download from the network in order to check the sim status?

Gareth
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] r4je5h:
same happened with me

jus rang them up and got the sim unlock code in less then a hour
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] coldpenguin:
what irritated me is that they would either give me the code, OR send me a suitable sim card, which would take 3-4 days. given that I would only have 7 days in which to return the device if it didn't work the second option wasn't acceptable. They will not let me have a new sim card now which means that i will probably have the same issue IF I get a phone from them again.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Slave1:
The issue is with the MDA Pro. To fix the problem you needed either a new SIM or to unlock the phone, both were offered FOC. You chose to unlock the phone, why do you now need a new SIM?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] coldpenguin:
hopefully I do not need a new sim.

However, when I was having problems with the MDA compact crashing I was advised by tmobile that the age of the sim was probably the issue and that I should get a new one. I was just thinking that if I get a new tmobile phone next year then I will probably have to go through the same excuse list.

However, my initial post also stands. Tmobile advised that I might need to continuosly enter the unlock code for the phone until I either get a new sim, or they mysteriously upload this new software (upload was the term used). Can they upload a new rom to the phone without intervention from the user? Surely this is against the WM5 security, as to be effective it would have to be burnt to the ROM permanently so as to survive HARD RESET.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cr2:
WM5 security :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daleski75:
Word of warning guys if any of you like myself installed the Android SDK and emulator to try and teach yourself programming then make sure Viber does not get installed if you login with your google account.

Basically this triggers their 'system' into thinking you are a spammer and they then block your number so you are unable to use Viber ever again on any device you own.

Viber support are next to useless and it looks like I will never be able to use Viber again despite doing absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever.
