Well the reason for using acrylic is acrylic is harder to scratch than polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is 200x stronger than glass, but it still isn't as scratch resistant as acrylic. Correct, TPU is the inner layer. You cant really tell in the render, but the window is slightly recessed so when you set it down it wont come in contact with the surface (assuming the surface is flat). Another option is to not have anything in the "window" and just have it be a hole, which is what I've seen Otterbox do on some thicker cases.

Here is a clip from a plastics website regarding acrylic vs pc:

"Each of the two have benefits and drawbacks. Acrylic is shinier and polycarb is stronger. Acrylic is less expensive but easier to crack. Polycarb is more impact resisant but easier to scratch. They are both stronger and lighter than untempered glass; acrylic is 4x to 8x stronger than glass, while polycarb is about 200x stronger."

Well yeah, we definitely could not make a TPU case thinner than what we already have and have it be any good. We get a lot of requests for thicker cases, the majority of the initial feedback with our first Nexus 5 case was people complaining about how thin it was compared to our Nexus 4 case (it's actually only thinner on the sides, by 1/10th of a mm). I'm pretty happy with the thickness of the Voyeur case. I'm not sure I agree that the hybrid Voyeur is "better" than the current Voyeur, at least for me. I think it looks great in the render, but personally I don't want a dual layered case on my device as I don't need that level of protection. Obviously one style is not going to work for everyone, and that is what we are trying do-- provide options :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kellyrx8:
Lookie what I got :D

Case fits real snug...I get the same button feel as I did with the amCase....no real click on them when pressed but I'm use to it.

Nice finish just like all my past diztronic cases...

There are 4 dots (1 in each corner on the back)that lifts the phone off the surface you place it on to avoid scratching the camera lens.... Which is also recessed in the case...double protection :)

Love this case....very minimalistic...:D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] OneStepAhead:
The dots are actually to protect the window, but I suppose they could also be double protection for the camera :)

Well the first customer feedback is positive, that is a good sign!!

Very nice case indeed.

Will be placing an order soon. :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] OneStepAhead:
did you remove the plastic film from the window? there is film on the inside and outside...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] charesa39:
As you said. Different strokes for different folks. The reason I like my current original TPU case is because of the thinness of it. I really only wanted a case to protect the camera on the rear. The ultra slim hard cases didn't really appeal to me, so this case works perfectly. AND, it protects the sides and screen for light to moderate falls.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Got mine! Definitely glad I ordered this thing, it's my new primary case, no question. It's easily the slickest TPU case I've ever owned. The squareness of it compared to the regular Diztronic case will take some getting used to, but I figure in a couple days it'll feel normal to me. My only nitpick, and it's a very minor one, is it makes the buttons feel spongy and eliminates the click when you press them. Not a big deal at all though. All in all it's a very cool design. If anyone has any questions about it feel free to ask.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kellyrx8:
Yep yep...forgot to mention that...:)

Additional photos

My Diztronic Voyeur case just arrived as well. To add to the photos posted by KellyRx8, here are some other views. I just took it out of the package and took some quick pics, so all the white flecks are from the packaging.

I figured readers would like to see the interior where the power and volume switches fit. There is some diminished tactile feedback when pressing the buttons when compared to no case, but noticeably more than with my Slim Armor. I don't have to press as hard to turn on / off as I did before.

Note that the corners have a small indentation which would allow a little cushioning in the case of a corner strike. Overall the case is thinner than I expected it to be. It doesn't feel bulky and doesn't have hard sharp edges.

The USB cutout area fits the curve of the Nexus 5, which was not the case with the Slim Armor. I hope this will translate into less dust getting between the case and the back of the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] JD2589:
Great reviews, hit that Thanks button for you guys. ;)

One question, may have been answered. Is the matte outside TPU or Hard plastic?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] casperhomme:
The plastic window.... Is it possible to yank it out?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
TPU. The entire case is TPU with the exception of the acrylic window.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] JD2589:
Thanks. :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Double03:
It looks as though the plastic window could be forcibly pushed apart from the TPU (I don't see glue or adhesive), but I'm not going to put pressure on mine to find out.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] twister99403:
Can't wait. Will be ordering as soon as it comes out ?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nexicon:
A fellow kansas citian! Cool!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kellyrx8:
Oh yeah I thought it would be thicker than it is...I was a tad worried that would be the one thing that would bug me but its pretty thin....much thinner than I believed it would be.

I'm really digging this case...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nerv8765:
Both of the cases look great, I wish my Voyeur was here already. The new case looks really good too, reminds me of batman, but a phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] casperhomme:
Good to know...i'll probably want to force it out if it got scratched..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] -Maverick-:
I just got my case today, while I prefer the style and smooth curves of the original Diztronic, pressing the buttons on the Voyeur feels better than the original Diztronic, as if I don't even have a case on and for me, that's a real bonus. Hopefully the new dual layer case Diztronic is developing has the look of the original Diztronic with the awesome buttons of the Voyeur. :good:

Oh, and MAYBE an option without a clear window. I thought I would be a fan, but so far, not really, maybe I'll change my mind as I use the case more.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jason_MCG:
Looks good, just please don't make the lip glossy TPU. Please.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] OneStepAhead:
It will be glossy for the reasons I previously mentioned a few posts back.

---------- Post added at 06:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 AM ----------

It's not glued, the process to make this case actually is pretty labor intensive, and everything is done by hand. I don't work in the factory so I'm only relaying the process as described to me. First a mold was made for the acrylic window. Once the pieces for the window already they are placed by hand into our TPU mold and the two are actually fused together. Then a plastic protective film is placed on the inside and outside of the window before it's placed into Diztronic packaging, again all by hand. I have tried pushing the window out and it didn't budge, but if you have ever had one of those TPU bumper cases with the clear polycarbonate back you know it's possible to separate the two. I did it on an HTC Evo 4G case years back to make a "ghetto mod" case that would work with an extended battery. I believe I used an Xacto knife. Based on customer feedback we may make this same style TPU case without a window, and maybe just have a hole for the logo, or possible no window/hole at all and just market it as a TPU case with increased protection.

I hadn't seen the case on a black Nexus 5 before until yesterday, and I do think this case looks a lot better on a white Nexus as the logo "pops" a bit more.

---------- Post added at 07:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 AM ----------

Thanks MetalHead. Just and FYI both pictures I've seen posted it appears that they have left the plastic film on the window, you'll want to take that off for best clarity (or leave it on to prevent scratching).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] antiker1:
spigen had the same problem with the spigen ultra hybrid case. some customers just didn't realize that there's a plastic film on the inside and outside. i think they solved it by a sticker on the inside and outside so that it's obvious. you could also do it like google with it's nexus 5 camera lens plastic film which has a small white part.

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

i'd rather sell a case with the window and a simple bumper case without a protector on the back like the one of the nexus 4. at the moment there aren't (almost) any bumper cases for the nexus 5 available without a protector on the back.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] MILH0U5E:
If an option is made without the acrylic, when will it be available? I think a hole in the back may do wonders for grip.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] OneStepAhead:
Well its hard to say when something we may or may not ever do will be available :) I would say its very unlikely we would ever release a case like that for the Nexus 5, it may be something we do for the Nexus 6 for example.

Please remember to remove the film on the Voyeur window, I've been getting emails from people saying they have a bubble in their window. If you have a bubble, a film is still on the window. There is one on the inside and on some pieces there is actually 2 films on the outside (one right on top of another, no idea why that happened)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] floepie:
With so many complaints about the feedback that buttons generally give on TPU cases, why don't more manufacturers make them with exposed buttons? Would love a thin colored (burnt orange would be sweet) TPU case with exposed buttons.

my review of the case
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Double03:
I prefer covered buttons because it reduces exposure to dust, dirt, etc. Additionally, depending on the cutout, exposed buttons can make it more difficult to press. Lastly, there is an aesthetic preference regarding the continuity of the look.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Awesome case. Can't say enough good things about it.

The hybrid case you have in the pipeline, I think you should offer one without the window.

There are next to no clean, smooth hybrid cases for the n5 that keep the phone clean and classy.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nexicon:
How does it compare to the neo hybrid size wise?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jason_MCG:
Received mine today. :) Some impressions...

I've recently been using a shell case and I've gotten used how slim it makes the phone, so admittedly, the bulk of the Voyeur (which isn't much) was kind of off-putting at first. After using it for a few hours, I think it's safe to say I'm converting. The build and material quality is excellent, and I really like how it makes the phone feel in your hand. It's hard to explain, but the case adds just enough rigidity and weight to make the phone feel more substantial while keeping the aesthetic of the N5 intact.

No one is kidding when they say this is the best case for the Nexus 5 or that this is the best case Diztronic has ever put out. Really excellent work, Clay. I would recommend this case to anyone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nldxda:
Got mine today! Nice case, I like..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nerv8765:
I just got my case in the mail today, and I love it. It fits nice and snug, the buttons work great (and don't wiggle anymore making noise.) I like the material, it feels good in the hand and looks pretty good on the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] domo325:
Anyone care to do a video review on the case?

I'm sure there are still others (like myself) who are interested in seeing this case in motion before buying.. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
After a couple days I can honestly say that this is hands down my favorite case. I used to hate all TPU cases, but Diztronic single handedly changed my views on them with their basic cases, but now with the Voyeur they really took things to another level. Everything about it is top notch- design, quality, material, protection... all flawless. It adds minimal bulk, and offers more protection than their standard cases. I especially love the added protection that the extra material in the corners provides (which is funny because I thought I wasn't going to like them). If you told me 2 years ago that my favorite case was going to be a TPU case I would have laughed in your face. Diztronic truly knocked it out of the park with this one, and it gets the highest recommendation from me.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BTT8:
One step ahead, what is the return policy for these cases?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] con4n007:
I think its 30 days no hassle return policy
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fastmikey1969:
Any comfort issues with the edges of the case?

I have a Spigen Ultra Hybrid and it's somewhat uncomfortable to hold due to its sharp lines in the case design.

I was thinking about getting the regular Diztronic TPU case but I like the idea of the extra protection of this case.

I know that wifi passwords and some app data are supposed to be backed up to your Google account but I'm wondering if this depends on the rom that you are using. I recently got a new Nexus 7 2013 and after signing in with the same Google account I use on my one xl all of my wifi passwords were there and app data was restored when apps were installed. However after flashing a new rom on my one xl and signing in to my account no wifi passwords are there and I believe some app data is there but I'm not 100% sure. Anyone know much about this?

hello,

i just bought my nexus 10 days back

and yesterday i noticed it was using 1.2 gb of ram

and hardly 5-6 apps were running

after that i restarted the phone then it went down to 512 mb and later went up to 700.

right there

0.99gb is being used

its running the follows

settings

wechat

wechat

whatsapp

bbm

Antivirus

Du batterysaver

battery log

com.qualcomm

Media

google services

google services

google keyboard

841mb is free

why is too much ram being used? is it normal what can i do ?

another thing

my friend told me its safer to charge from USB then Charger

is it true? he said its something to do with voltage

he said its best to charge phone when its on its lowest 10% or 20%

which is better ? to use ? and when

i was playing around and i opened the Developers options

and its still there can i Hide it ? it still shows there all the time :/ just worried about warranty issues

and my last question

is there any software which i can use to keep my phone actually safe ?

if its stolen or if i lose it anyway i can recover it ?

some software?

well thats all for now

please help me out :) thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
Stop paying attention to RAM as the phone keeps a bunch of stuff in RAM if it thinks you will need it again even if it's not running. Those are cached services.

Your friend is a retard (no offence to handicapped people, some of you are super smart compared) :p

There is no easy way to turn it back off, there is no warranty issues with it as you'd format your phone anyways before sending it back to Google. In the event you can't, it doesn't matter since Nexus devices ARE developer phones.

Android has that built in to locate a lost phone. Recovering it is a whole nother story. It also means jack if the phone is wiped anyways so doesn't matter. Insurance is the word you are looking for my friend. ;)

Can I play a movie that I have downloaded on my 2012 nexus 7 on the big screen, via the roku?

So say I have .... Alien 3, on my nexus 7 2012, I wanna put that image on the main TV, can the roku 2 accommodate this?

Doesn't Chromecast only play movies you have bought from the Play Store? I've made legitimate copies of TV series that I keep on my tablet. The $35 Chromecast is better than a miracast device for the price but only if it can do what I'd like.

I thought the roku supported what I'm trying to do from another bunch of stuff I stumbled on through Google searches see but, I'll go chromecast
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iodaniell:
Yes to Roku

You can push media to the Roku using an app called Juice for Roku. It's on the Playstore and on the Roku side you use:

owner.roku.com/add/juice

...to install the app on to the Roku.

One of these may have a one-time fee associated with it.
