Re: Debranding

I gave some acetone nail polish remover a try, and the LG label didn't budge. (I knew it wouldn't be that easy)

Re: White case fading

I haven't used it day-in, day-out for very long but I did have it on for about 1.5 weeks of travel time. It held up to abuse just fine without any color transfers or fading.

Now if only we could get that LG logo removed...

Just got my LG hardshell in black. Damn this case is nice. The recessed holes for the buttons are perfect IMO. The fact that it doesn't have a lip around the screen makes the phone feel so much slimmer. It's obviously as minimal as it gets. I slapped on a slick wraps decal on the back and the phone feels like a new device

It has the LG logo. It's fine because I covered it with the slickwraps decal which has the Nexus logo

As others have mentioned there are a few pics here already. But to describe it quickly it basically looks like there is no case on at all. There is no lip that sticks out at the front and blends in with the phone very well.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] jason.912:
Hah your the one posting a different case in the LG Hardshell titled post.

On that note, the major differences are clear. The snap case had a front lip whereas the LG doesn't, this design difference gives them both a completely different feel.

Over protection? I thought this case was about as minimal as you could get. I'm waiting for mine to arrive sometime this week.

NEXUS 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dave2metz:
Okay...I was just delivered the Black LG Snap-on Case today. This case is perfect! I can hardly even tell that a case is on my Nexus 5. I love the minimal style case, so this is great for me. I was disappointed a couple weeks ago when I received the Official Google Bumper Case with the "Nexus" logo on the back. I think I was more interested in having the logo on the back than the style of case. Don't get me wrong, the Google Bumper Case is okay if you don't mind a bulkier style. The volume & power buttons are covered and the texture of the case is really slippery. I almost dropped my phone a couple times. Back to the LG Snap-on...This case is super minimal. Also, no lip going over the screen and the feel of the case is very similar to the Black Nexus 5 back. I know it probably won't do much if I drop it on to concrete or some other hard surface, but it should help with scratches and smaller drops. I will try to make a video review of the LG Snap-on case sometime soon. I've never actually done a video review of anything, so it should be interesting to say the least.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jtwlbz:
Now your phone edges got scratched.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slider112:
Not with this case. I've had mine on and off several times without a single mark.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Joh@n:
If you don't use a case, the edges will be scratched more. I didn't take of the hardshell yet but need to do it in a week or 3 when I change my carrier and replace my SIM card. Probably will see no scratches at all.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dave2metz:
The LG Snap-on does not leave any scratches. It doesn't have a lip that wraps around to the bezel, so it doesn't rub hard against the side of your phone. In my opinion, it's the perfect case if you like a minimal look.

NEXUS 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kellybrf:
the lg snap on is a different case, this is the thread for the hardshell
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dave2metz:
Yeah, sorry. I have second case that's in the OP. I have the black one with LG branded on the back. All of these cases are getting confusing...

[Nexus 5 Accessories] luckywabbit:
My edges got scratched after putting it on and off a few times. I can tell by the lines it leaves. Just try to pry it out a little so there is less friction. Maybe it will not scratch as much.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] WarningHPB:
Best 10 quid spent on this case fits like a glove, its barely there only down side that has been mentioned before there is no lip to protect the screen if you place it face down on a table, but i have a screen protector so thats not an issue.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
Late to the party I know, but seeing as stock for these cases has been drying up everywhere I decided to take the plunge while I still could.

Best thin case. Ever. Feels like a naked phone and for all intents and purposes converted my white phone into a black. Not as grippy (it's similar to the diztronic matte material) as the $2 Quicksand case but looks and feels much more luxurious.

This is like skin thin, even the Quicksand feels bulky in comparison.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lsquare:
Is this the same one from Futureshop?

http://www.futureshop.ca/en-ca/prod...spx?path=379079f4ccf310189708c758023b9c93en02

$29.99 is a bit expensive for a case. Can't seem to find it elsewhere for a cheaper price.

---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 AM ----------

Which $2 Quicksand case are you referring to?

Is it still relatively grippy? As grippy as the Nexus 5 itself?

---------- Post added at 02:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 AM ----------

How does the LG Nexus 5 hard case compare to the Spigen Ultra Fit? In a perfect world, I'd get the LG case, but at $30, it's almost 3x more expensive than Spigen's case. I think I can go lower, but I'm not sure if there are any Chinese versions on eBay that's comparable. Any comments?

Would even just trade for a spigen slim armor in black.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
Looks cool. Is that a standard dbrand skin or did you order one to custom fit the case? Also, was your phone itself damaged at all during whatever it is that caused the corner scuff?

I'm 99% sure they won't have the Nexus logo on them. They're just using the old picture from before Google forced them to change it.

The snow is brutal today... shoveled twice already and probably will again before bed.

I've been so busy with work and studying for finals coming up that I realized I neglected grocery shopping and had nothing in my place. I figured if I'm already out getting food, I might as well go on an adventure! :) Thank god for snow tires. Still felt like I was rally racing out there and I was only going like 50 haha.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] HenrikCL:
It would be really nice if the LG Hardshell had a "tether loop" like the Rearth Ringke Slim case has (as you can see in the Ringke vs. Spigen thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2507313). Virtually every compact camera used to have it. I don't understand why it is not standard on phones.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
Do you mean a lanyard? I personally don't find them useful but you're right in mentioning Rearth as they seem to include one with most of their cases including the Fusion Hybrid.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] HenrikCL:
Yes, some kind of attachment for a wrist cord, which is visible in this photo. http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2400219&stc=1&thumb=0&d=1384801187. Clumsy bumpercases wouldn't be needed with the phone attached to one's wrist.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
It's not actually for wrist cords. Seeing as Rearth does all of their manufacturing in S.Korea it makes sense that they have the "charms" loop. There probably is some influence in design decisions from Korea and helps to cater to the Asias.

When I was teaching ESL in S.Korea you'll notice that the loops are on absolutely everything. Every case, most flip phones, cameras, etc. have it included. The loop on the cases isn't large, and isn't generally meant to accommodate a wrist/lanyard cord strong enough to carry it.

It's meant for personalizing it with accessories (or when I was there, I had my digital subway key attached to it). All of the school kids and teenagers had lots of charms. Just do an image search for "phone charms" and you'll get an endless supply.

For example:

I guess you could try putting a wrist cord on there, but I wouldn't trust the strength of it. The cord needs to be super thin.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] floepie:
I find it odd that it has first appeared only on Canadian sites. Certainly doesn't happen very often, and makes me believe that there was a mistake within the CA distributor channels to indicate immediate availability.

What kind of material would this case be? Just the regular type of plastic or the soft-touch plastic?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Not sure, but if it mirrors the LG quick covers, the black should match the black, and the white to the white. That's just my guess as they only mention matte finish.

For certain though, if the black is soft touch the white won't be, as that would stain very easily.

and they had this case in the system but nothing in store, i placed an order for 2, and they assured me that they will get them before any bell online purchases are shipped out (theyll call me as soon as they get them).

and for the record, they had a tech 21 flip covered case, thats on the bell online website, havent seen it anywhere (not even on tech21 website)

also telus next door (yorkdale) got the ballistic cases in stock

just thought ill let you guys know
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ahfunaki:
Ok, who wants to send me a black one? haha
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TECK:
I was not sure which one to pick, this model or the full protected Quick Cover. My decision was easier when I saw the 25% sale Blueshop made recently. I ended paying $37 for the Quick Cover, shipped. What I like about this case is how thin makes the phone look and also how well protected it is. It takes a little to get used to but it is a great product, very well made. The only thing I find it negative is that it does not have a hole for the notifications at the bottom, but other than that it is perfect. For example, if someone calls you, you open the cover, swipe to answer, close the cover and talk.

The one I have is soft touch, so I guess it will the same for the shell model.

I just bought a white replacement back for my black n5. Looks great with the white back and matte sides with no white speaker.

>^.^< Sent From Meow G2
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Sweet, I was right!

The case does have a full covering at the top, like the Quick Cover. Only the bottom has the cut out, but the corners cover more of the bottom than either the Spigen, or the Ringke.

I don't think it's a snap on in the same sense as the Spigen/Ringke that hook it in. It looks like the shell follows the concave (wider rear, narrower front) contours of the phone and holds it in without the need for a lip. It should remedy the problem for anyone complaining of the other cases scratching the corners (although I haven't had that issue with my Ringke).

Looks like this definitely is the hard case to go for! Seriously Bell... Ship my case already... Gotta beat 'murrica! ;)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Giroyac:
That looks so cool, i haven't received any calls from bell yet, and i did also ordered them online and got the out of stock email..

Hope I'll get them soon, can't wait

Btw, AAA75187801 is the official upc number for this case, and a simple Google search shows many different websites that sell this (currently pre order).. Puremobile is one of them :)

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Enhanced:
Seeing how it covers the top, hard shell, has the Nexus branding, and is an appropriate price, this may just be the perfect case.
