I used to be a big case kind of user, but I just can't cover up my red N5. I just use the ringke crystal fusion (?) clear case. I like how the case is semi-tacky, and easy to hold. It has a little extra in the corners, and may protect from small drops. Haven't dropped my n5 yet, so I can't say if one case is better than another. But, I did see this case from Ballistic: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ballistic-G...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item51b9f69eed

I just wish the back of it was clear instead of all those "holes". A nice 1 piece snap on case that had some real corner protection, but still was clear, would be nice.

Thanks for your review and thank you for the eBay link to the bumper. I've been searching for something like this for weeks! BUT WHICH COLOR?

So I've got a white 16GB N5 from February as because I RMA'd it because of the hissing issue in videos (didn't know that this is software related)

Original was bought on December...

Also, I've ordered an tempered glass film on Aliexpress:

0.3mm Explosion-proof Tempered Glass Film for Google Nexus 5 / E980

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/0-3m...-Film-for-Google-Nexus-5-E980/1728914566.html

It costs less than 9 USD so it's worth a try to see if the quality is good as described or not.

There's also an dbrand black titanium skin on the frame and on the back of my white N5. I'm waiting for coupons to replace it by white carbon on the back and matte white on the frame.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Yeah I'm a fan of minimalism, which is why I used the quicksand hardcases. Since I wanted to use skins this time around, I switched to bumper cases. The phone still feels relatively small because of the thinness of not having a back. Though it is a bit wider and taller, but I didn't want to go completely naked, so of course that's the tradeoff.

Yeah, that ballistic case reminds me a little too much of the Samsung Bandaid S5 and a dog bone haha. :laugh: Probably fantastic for drop protection though.

Yeah, there are a bunch of nice colours but I stuck with black for a couple of reasons.

Black tends to go with anything, it's a safe, neutral sort of colour. So even if you decide to change the skin on your phone to some crazy colours or patterns, it should still look good as it would be a nice black border. With the other bumpers (except maybe white which should also match nicely with everything) you have to try to match colours well or it might clash.

The other reason is that with most TPU cases (even though this is a harder TPU), if you choose something other than black, there is always the chance that it will stain or get dirty very easily. It usually ends up being hard to clean, or you can't clean the stains. With the black, you don't have to worry about it staining, or it doesn't show. I'm not sure if these ones will stain or not, but I just decided not to take the chance.

Also, once you get your glass screen protector you should tell us what you think and post some pictures in this thread. It would be good to see some other options out there and how they fit and look. I chose the Nillkin H+ because it was a highly rated screen protector for a very reasonable price. If there are other nice protectors out there at good prices, that's always a good thing. I don't believe tempered glass screen protectors are worth spending anything more than $10 - $15 on. The process of how they are made is pretty much the same, wherever you buy them, so there's no real point spending $40+ on a big brand when there are very good ones for 1/4 of the price.

Bought my 32gb white N5 off of Swappa in late January. Had the Slickwraps black alligator leather skin on for about a month, before switching to the red carbon fiber. I'm using the lucency bumper case mmmbacon recommended, and love it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bofbaz:
I'll take some shots when I received the protector.

That alloy bumper looks awesome, doesn't it?

Looks good dude! I also took off the skin over the camera lens on mine as well. I like the look of a big exposed camera lens.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
Haha great.

Is it easy to install / re-apply?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Yeah absolutely, it's very easy to install. If you have a dust free environment and steady hands, it goes down much easier than a plastic protector, as it's rigid and you just place it down and watch it do it's thing.

Mine installed just like this video (...every time). Except the difference is, I had so many problems with dust, so I had to keep reapplying it. This is where it can be a bit more difficult than plastic. It is rigid so if you rip it off like a mad man you might either damage the glass or the adhesive on the underside. But contrary to what some people say (that it's 1 chance apply and that's it) you can very slowly peel it off and try again. I had to retry about 10 or more times as despite being in a steamy bathroom to install, I still kept getting dust underneath. Some people have even rinsed it off then tried again.

[YOUTUBE]6Ah1yIO7RDg[/YOUTUBE]

What you may experience (I didn't so I guess I was lucky) is that you will get a small bubbling/spider web at the bottom by the notification LED, not on the screen itself, but the black portion. You can see the same thing happened in this video, but it was very minor and easy to deal with in his case. This happens with all tempered glass screen protectors. It's not a defect with the protector, the Nexus 5 screen isn't completely flat in that spot. You may just have to rub it much harder to get the bubble out/the adhesive to stick. Some people have used a micro fiber cloth and a binder clip for a few minutes and it went away. Again, I didn't have that issue, but it seems to be pretty common.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] amrit94:
Is there some video out there that demonstates how to perfectly put on the tempered screen protector,i got my nexus 5 2 days back only so i don't want to screw it up and whats up with the bubble,do i need to go to a mobile shop to get it done?I don't mind shelling out some extra bucks.

I am asking all this because i tend to be a little bit clumsy with new things specially my own:rolleyes:

Phone

Nexus 5 32GB Black, Batch 402K , bought in 30th March 2014

Accessories I use

Amzer Kristal Screen protector (Really amazing and VFM buy) - Here

I know that I shouldve cleaned my phone before clicking pics, but oh well, its done. :silly:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Thanks for these. You don't need to clean it before pics. It shows how your phone is when you use it day to day and how it holds up being used naked!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ts1506:
Its a pretty sturdy device , as long as not dropped.

I did have a google bumper case, but I sold it as I didnt like it at all, and it was damaging the phone.

Naked phone feels the best :D :D

I used all my other devices naked, and this was the first time I even thought of buying a case
[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
Meh. I screwed up my Nillkin. £17 wasted. Got all crap on the "adhesive" side and cant get it off.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jacknicholson:
If that's what an unclean display looks like, I've no idea what to call mine.

From what I've read in the Nillkin thread, washing them seems to do wonders, in case you haven't tried.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
I've tried with water. Not with any detergent. Maybe thats next to try.

Also like a standard screen protector, if you peel back the corners, it seems like it never makes contact properly again
[Nexus 5 Accessories] varunthapliyal999:
Use a tape to remove any lint or fingerprints off the adhesive side, and use binder clips for the corners.I tried peeling off my protector and ruined a corner, after using a binder clip it doesn't come off

:laugh:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
Will do thanks.

I had to google what Binder clip was. We call them Bulldog clip :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] varunthapliyal999:
It was suggested in the nillkin thread.And use a microfiber cloth so that they don't scratch the device or the protector,also use one which doesn't apply a lot of pressure. Would'nt want to damage the device. :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ts1506:
Not the screen, but the back. Filled with smudges and fingerprints.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Yeah, I would prefer to run naked as well, the feel is very nice and I enjoy minimalism. I own a hyperactive dog though that already shattered the screen of my first Nexus 5... I'm a little overly cautious this time around. That's why I have the tempered glass screen protector, skin, and bumper. My dog has knocked this one around in the same fashion a couple of times already, and it is still perfect!

Were you able to sort it out?

If you give it a gentle wash and then use tape (like packaging tape, or masking tape) on the adhesive side, it should take all of the dust off. Some people have even used alcohol and then did a semi wet application and it worked really well.

I mean if you see this, you should have no problems in comparison. This is probably the worst install I have ever seen, and he still pulled it off at the end. He put it on, took it off, rubbed it with cloth, got all kinds of crap on it. Then washed it, used wet wipes, etc. Finally alcohol and a wet install. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2FEdzsSuqY
[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
Just cobwebs to sort out really. I have bulldog clips at home so will give those a go.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Yeah, the cobwebs are normal, especially if it is by the notification LED. That is where the screen of the Nexus 5 isn't completely flat. You'll get that with most tempered glass screen protectors. From what I've read the clips should do the trick, jut make sure you use clips that don't squeeze too hard, and you use a folded microfiber cloth between the clip and the phone. Then just leave the clip on for a while and it should go away.

How do you like the feel of the glass?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
I just got my Nillkin protector today. It's a perfect install, alignment-wise. I especially love the curved look it brings, it kind of looks like the Nexus 4 does. I love the way it feels. So smooth.

But I've got a big bubble at the bottom of the screen (on the bezel, off to one side of the notification LED), and a couple cobwebs next to it. I removed it, washed it, re-applied at least 4 times. Those same webs keep coming back. I don't want to try the bulldog clips thing because I'm scared the pressure might crack either it or the phone's screen. I did try applying pressure with a clothes pin, and that didn't seem to help.

But I love the feel of the protector. I wish I could get some pictures but my phone's the only camera I have in the house.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
I mentioned it in the post right above yours...

The bubbling is not because of the screen protector, the Nexus 5 screen is not flat in that area. Pretty much all glass screen protectors will bubble there. Taking it off and doing all of this other stuff to it won't change the flatness of the Nexus 5 screen. You need to press down hard enough and long enough to get the adhesive to stick.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
Yeah, but mine hasn't webbed at the notification LED area. It's to the right of it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
Nah my cobwebs are due to me taking it off and ready applying multiple times, slightly altered the flatness of the protector. Top left, top right, top Centre and bottom left were all cobwebs. All top ones gone now but still got some work on bottom left but my fingers killing from all the bulldog clip action :)

Feels nice. Although it's light, the phone feels weightier to me...

Edit> cobwebs gone.

Also my slickwrap arrived today...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
That's where it is. It's to the right of the LED, that's why I said by the LED, not on. If you do a search here, you'll see many people all having the bubbling in the same spot. It has nothing to do with the Nillkin, it happens with all of the different brands. It's the Nexus 5 screen. That's why there's no reason to take off the screen protector.

Nice, glad it's all nice and clean. You should post some pictures once you have the skin installed as well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
I see. Bulldog clips it is!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
Sorry about the quality. I'm not used to the iPhone 5 camera.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Nicely done!

Appears to be not a single bubble on your screen from the glass screen protector. I guess the clips really did the trick. Good job! Looks to be centred a little bit better than mine as well.

That's a pretty good job on the skin as well. I was thinking of picking up the dbrand bamboo skin when it comes out, not sure if it would colour match with my red phone though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
Thanks. Yep, no bubbles - all working well. If I look closely, I can see that the speaker is off centre and the right edge has a bigger gap than the left, but in usual glancing, it looks good.

I guess it's similar to what I did, just a bit better. Mine is also slightly off centre towards the left as well. The rounded edges make it tough to notice anyway.

Looks good! Some of those cases look familiar! :)

Why are you selling? Just wanted something different?

For me anyway, I like Sony's camera better, but I would choose the M8 because of the build and better UI. As much as I like water proofing, I'm not the biggest fan of a phone made almost entirely of glass...

Yes, those are the same. That's kind of expensive though, even for a bundle of 5. I did provide an eBay link in the OP. They are $6.99 each, so even if you did buy 5 it would be ~$35 vs $56.50.

The buttons feel good. They're loose but don't rattle, and give a solid click when you press them. They have nice feedback. Not like some other cases where you don't know if you're pressing anything. They are separate pieces, actual buttons inserted in the frame, not just part of the molding.

Aspherical lens in the lens (i dont know whether they are now in S5)

Remove modulation at medium and low brightness, as it did in the Fly IQ444 Diamond 2 Quattro, Motorola Razr HD (XT925) and LG G Flex

Remove all profiles except the cinema mode, because at testers gray is blue, red is orange, they specially put other profiles that have very cold tone (6500-6700K - cinema mode, 7500-8000K - others). Anyway all image are designed for SRGB standard, and enhanced range is color distortion and oversaturation

Metal Body (antennas should be behind the plastic, glass or other material, but not metal, so did HTC, Apple and Sony, otherwise the connection will be very bad)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
What's wrong with a plastic body?

It can look just as premium as metal

It provides an actual grip.

It doesn't scratch as easy as metal.

It flexes so it won't dent and stuff.

It's lighter than metal.

There is a lower chance of breaking your internals when you drop it because plastic takes impacts better than metal. Similar to why car bumpers are made from plastic and not metal.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonyfan12:
Speed ​​if dropped not so much

Metal looks solid and there is a feeling that you hold the thing for ages
