Yes - it shows the Nexus logo - but the product doesn't actually have it on the back. Neither the black or white. That case doesn't exist.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] omeringen:
Sorry to hear that :( Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] andy o:
Sorry, I know you like it, but ironically, you've convinced me that this sounds more and more like a terrible case. I dropped my N4 once while running, and the phone slid on the hard pavement (don't know what it's called, but looks like gravel only it's fixed) a good distance, screen down, but had a Ringke Slim on it. Small as the "lips" are, they protected the screen admirably.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jason_MCG:
I'll do an in-depth review tonight, but this case is great though very lax on protection. I can definitely see it cracking if you drop it. I'm also unsure about the back staining over time (I have the white case), but we'll see.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] resynx:
Looking forward to your review!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slider112:
When I contacted them this morning about returning mine they asked what the reason was; I told them that the case did not have the NEXUS logo on it as was pictured on their site, and that was the only reason I purchased it. I also mentioned that they should really take the picture down or revise it, as i knew that I was not the only one unhappy with this discrepancy. Looks like they've finally removed it, albeit too late for us early purchasers.

**Pic for the white is gone too.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] jackattack:
While I would have liked the nexus logo, this is an awesome case. The black does feel just like the phone with the soft touch. Without the lips on the sides, it really feels like you don't have a case on the phone. Will it save your phone from a drop? Probably not, but no slim case definitely will. Will it protect your phone from scratches? Absolutely. I recommend it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EddyOS:
OK, mine arrived today and it's EASILY the best case for the Nexus 5 - bar none. Perfect fit, hardly noticeable, feels the same as the back of the white Nexus 5. OK, would've been nice to have the Nexus logo but I really couldn't care less, I'm more than happy
[Nexus 5 Accessories] phoneguru9:
It's really solid. Kinda burned out by the lack of the Nexus logo, but still a great purchase.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nexicon:
Same. Really disappointed about lack of nexus lettering but my God is this minimal. Black one feels like the black nexus. I also got white one. Don't know if i'll return it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimburke57:
I just wanna agree with everyone praising this case. I normally go naked and this case gives you that feeling. I was really hoping for the nexus branding but it is still a great minimal case without it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] resynx:
Just put on my case and I've gotta say..this is hands down the best case for minimalists. It fits the phone perfectly! The camera becomes ever so slightly recessed so the lens doesn't touch the surface it's laying on, and the lack of a lip around the screen just adds to the minimalistic style :) I'm glad there is no lip so dust won't be catching on the edges of it like it did with my Ringke :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] andy o:
I guess I'm in the minority then...

Any of you guys think this feels even more minimal than the Ringke Slim or Spigen equivalent? I assume it's just the lip that makes the difference.

Earlier in the thread people were getting excited that this case seemed to offer more protection to the screen side though, with the top apparently being fully covered, and the bottom a bit more covered than the aforementioned cases.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] resynx:
I think that the Ringke might be a little more slim.. But with how well this case fits the phone and the lack of a lip, it definitely feels more minimal to me :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] qtopthisq:
Received my case today and the white is more like a creme or if you google 'off white color' but fits perfectly. The case is slightly bendable but seems very durable! Happy with purchase for sure.

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

I think the case feels slimmer than the Ringke (white) before I returned it but I can tell you this is the true minimal case you have been looking for! The Spigen doesn't stay true to the contours and heard it feels boxy, the Ringke feels cheap (white) and actually scratches the phone corners. This is an official case and feels better. Let me know if you have any questions! :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] andy o:
Thanks for the offer. I have the Ringke actually, a black one, and it doesn't feel cheap at all. I also have this case, but I haven't opened the box. the fact that it has no lips though, and that apparently it can crack fairly easily, is a non-starter for me. I'm happy with the Ringke for now, and I've read about the scratching, but I never take the case off, and I suppose if one is careful when taking it off it wouldn't scratch. Frankly I don't know if I would have kept it even if it had the Nexus logo, with no lips. Already had that experience with my N4 where the lips saved the screen.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jtwlbz:
How about corners? Don't scratch corners like ringke or spigen slim case do?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] qtopthisq:
No this case does not scratch at all! The plastic slightly bend (feels quality) and will not scratch at all I can guarantee you.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

Ya I'm sure the black one feels good because the white one has no coating and literally slips out of your hand and feels like plastic and cheap. The black one has a coating and is what I should have gotten and mine cracked too when I dropped it. I also had electrical tape to protect the corners before putting on the case :D and about the lips yeah I have a glass screen protector and you'll have to judge if it is worth it or not. These cases in general are one drop protection and that's all I need since I rarely drop my phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pemz82:
Looks like it is also available in Red...

If you look on the UK mobile fun site (cant post links yet)

No picture as yet, but I am guessing the same red as the red nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EddyOS:
It is there but the picture is the official bumper, might be an option for those to get a red back (if they don't wanna pop the real back off to replace it)

As for the people saying the white one is cheap, it's not. It's like the HTC One X in feel, like it's made of polycarbonate. I love it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pemz82:
The title is listed as 'LG Official Nexus 5 Shell Case - Red'

So this definitely seems to be the hard shell rather than bumper. Currently no image on the listing.

I think I might give the white a try, if it feels like the back of the white nexus then I'll be happy with that.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EddyOS:
It's a little bit smoother IMO, but only just
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pemz82:
Thanks, I think combined with a decent tempered glass screen protector this is the winner for anyone who wants scuff and scratch protection.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimburke57:
This is what I'm doing.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jtwlbz:
Anybody can compare this case with diztronic original TPU case? LG case is thinner? weight?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jason_MCG:
The LG case is a lot thinner and a lot lighter. Read the review and look at the pics. They speak for themselves.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kellybrf:
the diztronic is massive compared to the hardshell. the hardshell really is as close to naked as you can get
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nolook:
ya this case is for the extreme minimalist... its significantly thinner and better fitting than my spigen ultra fit...also seems more finger print resistant but slightly less grippy coating (black ver)...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] l3s:
For me the whole story unclear...

CCH-250 in Europe looks like official quick cover, what you can get from playstore.

http://www.lg.com/fr/accessoires-mobiles/lg-CCH-250

But the CCF-300 looks like the OP with nexus logo on the back.

http://www.lg.com/fr/accessoires-mobiles/lg-CCF-300
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EddyOS:
My white hard shell (not quick cover) is part number CCH-250, bought from Mobile Fun UK
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jackattack:
Has anybody used this case with the official Nexus charger? Is the magnetic hold strong enough to hold the phone vertically with the case on?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EddyOS:
[MENTION=3746653]mmmmBACON[/MENTION] has and said it worked fine. You can read more in his review thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2643884
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Joh@n:
The CCF-300 is the quickcover unfortunately...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Well I couldn't actually check the magnetic part as I don't have the Nexus 5 Wireless Charger. But there were no problems Qi charging with all of my Qi chargers (none have magnets).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EddyOS:
Ah, OK. I thought the charger you used was magnetic. I'd assume it works as the Quick Cover apparently works fine
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Ah okay, I should have clarified. I think though, that since the LG case is so thin, that the magnets should work just fine.

The phone attached fine to my infiniapps magnet car dock with the LG case on it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nexicon:
I got both to try out and ended up keeping both. Really love the minimal protection. Gonna apply a skin on top for the nexus look
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimburke57:
I did the same thing.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Matrix_19:
I got this case today...

for a minimal case... it is awesome, you just can't find any better or slimmer, it feels very good in hands (black one)

I think I love it... I will see in the next days :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
Those who've got it in white and black, is the texture the same?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Black feels more like the black N5 and white feels smooth like the white N5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sublimnl:
I requested a return via amazon because the case has no nexus logo and look at the **** these guys are trying to pull. Does anyone have a screen grab for the original listing on Amazon showing the case with logo?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Sure dude. A quick search under Google (using their cached pages) came up with this beauty. Go get em bud.

Google Cache White: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:c1-N1Bc_rkUJ:www.puremobile.com/lg-aaa75187802-hardshell-nexus-5-white+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ca

The black case doesn't show though.

I made a quick snipping tool pic for you in case it goes down.

When you show it to them, give both the pic and the cached Google page. Tell them they've clearly changed it and are purposely misleading you.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sublimnl:
Thanks. I ordered from amazon, not direct, but the cached Google page is a great idea. I'll have a look on my desktop tomorrow to see if they have that cached.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rpaloalto:
puremobile just lost my sale, I'll be looking elsewhere.

Thats Sucks! Hope you get your money back.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Well, because I don't like seeing fellow xda-ers getting shafted. I had a bit of time and I found this for ya. Now you can go get em bud! Hahaha.

I did a full screen grab so the Google web address is included, as well as the Feb 8, 2014 time stamp of when the cases were still advertised with NEXUS on them. Yeah, I used IE11, so what! :p

It's full screen 1920 x 1080, so if you want to resize it or anything, it's up to you. I left it as is.

Screw those guys.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nexicon:
Hey guys. I kept the cases as you may know and what I did was apply dbrand's awesome skins on the white and black. Looks fantastic!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sublimnl:
Thanks man. They agreed to issue an RMA. Now I'm just going after them to send me a prepaid return shipping label. This is BS - I shouldn't have to pay return shipping. They need to eat it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
No problem dude.

When I RMA'd mine, they emailed me my RMA number and their UPS account number. So when I went to UPS I just filled in their info and checked the receiver pays shipping box. This is Canada PureMobile though, so I'm not sure how it works for you. Hopefully you get shipping covered as well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ctbear:
I returned one of the two I ordered. They included a prepaid return label with my RMA number. Just make sure to mention the nexus logo when you request the RMA.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] andy o:
they're taking their sweet time to answer my RMA request that's for sure, but good to know they will pay for shipping.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Matrix_19:
After a few days with this hardshell case... my quest is over

this case is perfect for me, it feels so great in hand :)

Next step will be to put a tempered glass on it :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nexicon:
Same here!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spotdog14:
Has anyone found the white case on Amazon in the US?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jason_MCG:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GGL4X7I/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_Rhfatb1C5A71F

It shows the bumper, but the product code links to the hardshell case. It's also sold by Pure Mobile.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spotdog14:
I was wondering that, because when I put in the product code that popped up. Has anyone ordered this and actually received the hard shell case as opposed to the bumper shown?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kellybrf:
just order from their website, it's cheaper than what they're charging on Amazon
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thetonyclifton:
Has anyone gotten the red one yet? I absolutely love the white one and was thinking of getting another.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] waxlabo:
where is the red one available at?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Matrix_19:
here is a photo with the black one
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EddyOS:
For anyone in the UK interested...

I've got another white hard shell coming from Canada. I forgot I asked my mate that works for Bell to get one for me and it's now on it's way so I'm gonna be selling it. It'll be less than Mobile Fun and it'll be free (UK) postage so if anyone is interested please PM me and I'll have a word :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jtwlbz:
Thanks for thr picture. Can you post the picture of front side of the phone?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Matrix_19:
it's very hard to show this case on photos.... it's so slim.... my old Ultra Fit case is chubby next to this one...

in hand, it's like having no case and the black back is the same soft touch as the N5,

so the phone feels naked with the case, it's awesome :)

The screen is not protected by the case if you lay it face down , however, the good side is that you don't have any compatibility issue with screen protectors or a tempered glass.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nldxda:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jason_MCG:
Does anyone have a white hardshell they're willing to part with? I know I can order one from Pure Mobile, but with how bad their CS has been, I'd rather not give them another dime. PM me if you're willing - THANKS!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kellybrf:
their cs had been just fine, one person posted a problem and numerous people replied that they had no issues.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jason_MCG:
I got in touch with them for an RMA and it took them a week and half to respond. I was told that "your email was marked as spam", even though it came from their website. I'm STILL waiting for my RMA, so yeah, not impressed.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] toddmacmac:
I wrote a review on amazon about this case. Poor review because of the lack of the nexus logo and misrepresentation of the product. They offered me a 30% discount refund thing. Good customer service, poor marketing.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] andy o:
Same happened to me. Don't use their form on the website, some crappy javascript popup. Email them directly to sales@puremobile.com (IIRC that's the address).

FWIW, they quickly responded when I did that, and apologized and I got a prepaid label (USPS) with the response.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jtwlbz:
Wow puremobil shipping takes forever...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crzycrkr:
While I like the case, it's best attribute (how thin it is) is its worst enemy. Taking it off the first time as shown in the instructions led to the power button bending the front edge of the cutout. Get the feeling I'll be back to my trusty Spigen thin case pretty quick
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thetonyclifton:
Strange I have opposite experience and have no problem taking this case on and off, in comparison I won't put the Spigen anywhere near my phone as it scuffed the corner of my phone despite how careful I was!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EddyOS:
I've had no issues taking mine off, and this was using my fingers!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crzycrkr:
Surprising. I had that issue horribly with the Ringke, but my Spigen doesn't scuff my corners all. Do you have the updated version?

I haven't had any issues getting it off, but those areas are do thin it bent ridiculously easily
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cwPatrick:
Is there someone who is willing to buy one for me and dispatch it to The Netherlands? I will pay you first and give something extra.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nolook:
just never take the case off... sold my old spigen for $10
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crzycrkr:
Lol. It seems that's the mentality a lot of these manufacturers have when it comes to thin cases. Most of them crack after limited removals. That's why the Spigen is so good. Slightly more flexible so it's far more durable.

As for not taking it off...doesn't work for me. I need to run a case with more protection when working and like something thinner when I'm not.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jtwlbz:
Just got the case my impression is not good. I like it slim and feels similar material as my.black n5 tho big problem is its too sliperry in hand.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] phoneguru9:
When I spoke with them they blamed LG who provided them with an incorrect image.

Loving the white case, although its slippery...

And just read on mobile fun the red one got canceled :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sinergie:
I have the white one as well. It looks very nice, but took it off the other day because of the slipperiness.

Naked black N5 has the best feel/grip bar none.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Should have got the black one it feels just like the back of the nexus phone and hasnt come off my phone since Ive bought it. Best case for me hands down in size and feel
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jackattack:
Agree 100%.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thetonyclifton:
My wife ordered me the red case listed on the mobilefun.co.uk website as a gift...she then got an email to say they had none in stock so despatch was delayed and then a cancellation email saying it was not available...it has now been removed from the site altogether I think - very strange. Does anyone have any further info on the existence or otherwise of a red version of this case....it would certainly make sense for LG to make one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kellybrf:
its literally 4 posts before yours
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thetonyclifton:
It's not really. I was looking for a bit more info. The post simply said that they read on mobilefun it was 'cancelled' but there was no link and I couldn't find the page. It also doesn't say who it was 'cancelled' by, could be that mobilefun cancelled their order or that it was cancelled by LG's current manufacturer or that the whole idea was binned entirely..even if the latter it would be interesting to know if there was a public reason.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spotdog14:
I just received my white case today. I love it, coming from one of the cheap 99 cent ebay cases this feels MUCH better and the button cut outs are great!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sinergie:
Nah, I bought the white one for the look. Since I already have a black N5 I don't see the point in getting a thin black cover like this, which offers very very limited protection above using no cover at all.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Enhanced:
For anyone in Canada, Future Shop sells these for $29.99.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
The point is to protect the phone from scratches or dirt or small bumbs while still keeping the feel and grip of the original device. I had the white case aswell but it was way too slippery even though it looked good and I used it and preferred it originally because of the look but after using it for a few days and it slipping out of my hand or nearly out of my hand on numerous occasions I decided to use the black one and havent looked back. I since have sold the white one and havent changed my case from the black hard shell since it feels like the naked N5 in grip and size.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Matrix_19:
19.99$ on Amazon.ca

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s_ss_i_0_7?k=lg+hardshell+nexus+5&sprefix=Lg+hard
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sinergie:
The black N5 is already rugged and durable by itself, it doesn't scratch easily. So in my opinion the black shell is supervacaneous, but to each his own.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
To be honest and anyone can tell you that any layer between the phone and the outside environment serves a purpose of some form of protection. For example let me drop mine with the hardshell on on it's back on gravel or anything rough, better yet let me slide mine on its back on a those same surfaces and then you do the same with your's naked and lets see what happens to the body of yours and mine. I pretty much guarantee yours will have scuff marks or noticeable scratches you can feel and be pretty bummed and mine well my case may be marred up just the same but my phone will be fine. But like you said to each his own and I perfer the black hardshell to keep the look, feel, and size of the phone while having a little added security and having a glass protector gives me that much more security for corner or front facing drops all while still feeling naked.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
I got my white and my black today from mobile fun.

Great cases, great feel. Not a ton of protection, but then again, it's not supposed to.

I like them alot.

Has anyone else tried to take the lg label off the back?

Or had issues with the white getting dirty or fading?
