I ordered them direct from magpul. They normally don't sell direct, but I chatted with the lady on the phone for a few and she let me order them. But, they do in fact have them. So, it shouldn't be long until they show up at dealers.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ToZoX:
are there more colors available? looks awesome :victory:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] roguelike:
Thanks for posting those pics! I have used Magpul in the past and they are indeed great cases.

I have a couple of questions if you don't mind.

1. Does wireless charging work with this case? I assume it does but just want to make sure.

2. Do you have any dealer names to keep on the lookout for the case availability? I know Amazon sells them but not sure about any others.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
According to their email the other week, they should have all the normal colors they make for the iPhone.

I don't have a wireless charger, so I'm not sure on that part. I can't use one one either way, because I have a Scosche Magic mount plate between phone and case.

I have no leads on dealers as of yet. I was told they are being shipped, but not to whom.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nb31b:
How are the buttons? Easily pressed or rigid like most other TPU cases?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
The power button has a noticeable clicky feel to it. I do find that you have to press the lower part of the button to get a consistent press, because the one raised rib goes around the edge and is the same height as the button.

The volume rocker doesn't have any clicky feel to it. Because of this, it's kind of hard to tell that there's an action unless you are looking at the screen.

Those things I can live with. I've already gotten used hitting the lower part of the power button and I don't use the volume button very much. I also ordered a Zagg case friendly screen protector to hopefully eliminate the lifting issue. Will, report back once I've installed.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] blbills:
Magpul told me that the first distributors that they shipped to are Midway and Brownells. Been checking at those sites several times a day with no luck so far though...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] daewond3r:
I was a little sketchy about these based on the CAD image, but these came out AWESOME. I would definitely rock one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] herosemblem:
I really want this case. Soon as I can find it...(I didn't see it on amazon when I searched the site on my N5).

BTW, thank you so much, Rubicon, for taking the time to share this case with us.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Swiftb12305:
Yea i called Brownells and was told they dont have a date on when they will be in and also had a online chat with Midway and was told the same thing. This sucks. :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] blbills:
Just called magpul again to see if I could order direct with no luck :(

When someone finds these in stock somewhere please post!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Swiftb12305:
Found this site but there not in stock yet but atleast we know they will get it.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
I kind of feel bad guys...kind of. I guess I got lucky when I called last week. Like I said, they usually don't sell direct. That's why I didn't tell everyone to call Magpul asking to order.

On a side note the case has been great. It has a strange feeling to it. Rigid, but still soft textured. Can't wait to get my case friendly screen protectors tomorrow to fix the bubbles.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] roguelike:
We are all just jealous. :)

I can't wait to get my hands on one. Kudos to you for getting lucky.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
I'm probably only gonna use the FDE case, since I'm partial to the color.

If someone want's a black one bad enough...

I'll sell the black one for $40 ;)lol;)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hardeho:
Definitly keeping an eye on this thread. This is one of the things I've been jealous of iPhone users about.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Swiftb12305:
Definitely i had one for my ip4 back in the day lol and i love the feel of the case and the price is so reasonable.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] wolfen69:
I'll wait until the Chinese come out with replicas for 1/4 the price. ;)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
I'd rather pay extra for a company I know makes its products in house and in the US. Just saying.

Also an update...

I received my Zagg Case Friendly screen protector. It works perfect with the Magpul case. It's also the HD film and it's really smooth to the touch... Unlike the original Zagg film. I definitely recommend this to anyone buying the Magpul cases when they become available.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Miqueas111:
Me too XD

I'm not from US so I don't care if it's from US, China, Korea, Chile or Canada :confused:

Yes, probably the quality decreses, but man... the chinese are making good stuffs lately...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dave2metz:
IMO.. those cases are really ugly. Why cover a beautiful phone with a big hunk of bumpy plastic? Sorry.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
Was that really worth a post? If it doesn't pertain to you, then why comment? At least you started with IMO, because that's your opinion.

Anyway...These are sweet to people like me in the firearms community and who own products from Magpul. Especially since they've only made these for iphones up until recent.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] herosemblem:
I love the way these look...AND I get the benefits of an easier-to-grip-and-use phone, plus impact protection? Count me in. Can't wait until they start appearing at the vendors.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] blbills:
Anyone find these in stock anywhere yet?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ew2x4:
Don't be that guy. It's a discussion forum. People are here to discuss. Just because it's a dissenting view doesn't mean you have to be a ****.

And for the record, I can't wait for this case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
Hmm. Thanks you the name calling.:rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Langer6431:
Are they available yet? Haven`t been able to find one yet
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dontbeweakvato:
picture?

in the picture, under the case is that a rifle magazine under it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nb31b:
Yes
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jphilippon:
Gah, I am DYING to buy this case.

Any news on the availability?? I emailed them Saturday morning so I suppose I'll have a reply soon...

Has anyone been able to buy one besides OP?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nb31b:
This place seems to have them in stock now. Just ordered one. :)

[Nexus 5 Accessories] xxjmontxx:
Available on magpul website now!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
Go get em guys! I might have to grab a gray one too.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ptesmoke:
only ships to US....someone want to forward me one???
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cdonald:
Mannn, I want one quite a bit but I'll be so bummed if I order one and it lifts my Nikilin tempered glass screen protector
[Nexus 5 Accessories] billbradford:
Ordered! FINALLY.

One FDE, one Black, and one Grey.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jphilippon:
DANG I can't decide between black or gray...

Also got an FDE of course. ;)

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

I could probably help you out. I ordered FDE and gray because I can't decide, but I'll ultimately choose just one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] herosemblem:
What was the shipping cost for you US guys? Tia
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jphilippon:
6.99 for me. To California.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] blbills:
Got a black one. $6.99 shipping to Utah as well. Shame, should have gotten one of each color: (

Oh well, I'm super excited... Been waiting since November for this!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] th3gh05t:
What color is that? FDE?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DarkFantasy6:
To thick in my opinion :D I like the slim style more :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nb31b:
flat dark earth. it's the tan one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ptesmoke:
I'd be interested in gray or FDE. pm me if you'd be willing to send one up north for me :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
Just added an update to the OP about wireless charging.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nb31b:
Sweet, good to know. Mine arrives today :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jphilippon:
Did you buy direct? I did but I haven't got a shipping notification.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nb31b:
No, I bought from that airsoft site I posted a link to, that I found with a Google search. The case is glorious.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jphilippon:
That's a bit annoying. Purchased mine on the 31st and I haven't been told it's been shipped. (from Magpul) I'm sure it will be worth it!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] blbills:
Same here.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AaronXXL:
Dammnit, they don't send to Europe :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] billbradford:
Weird, no matter what browser I use on the Airsoft Outlet NW site, there's no "add to cart"/"buy" buttons on the page for the Magpul case. Guess I'll have to wait for Magpul to ship my order from them.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jphilippon:
Same. They must only work M-F at magpul... Still no ship.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nb31b:
Maybe I bought the only one they had? :P Hope you guys get yours soon... It really is fantastic. The buttons are slightly hard to press, but not nearly as bad as the official Google bumper case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
What color did you get? Post a picture if it's something other then black or FDE. :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nb31b:
It's FDE.. The Iraq war vet in me couldn't go for anything else :p
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jphilippon:
Update: I called them and was told they just got some new "software program" that is taking longer than before to process to ship. I was told mine would leave their warehouse today. (ordered 31st)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
Yeah, I haven't even used my black case yet...FDE is where its at.

If anyone grabs a gray one, then post it up!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jphilippon:
On its way.. :banghead:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Have this case for my iPhone, it's amazing. This and my UAG cases are my favorites. Just placed my order for a black one for my N5.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cdonald:
Anyone using this case with Nikilin tempered glass? If so, does it lift the protector?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] billbradford:
Are we all still waiting on Magpul to ship orders made on the 31st?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimburke57:
Yup.

Does this this case interfere with pictures taken with camera flash?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] billbradford:
Called Magpul, they said my order (placed on the 31st) had been shipped on the 4th and was out for delivery today already!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimburke57:
That's good to hear. Hopefully the rest of us are in the same boat.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
Not from my findings. The flash is in a separate cutout from the lense, so it's basically shielded.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zirjacks:
That is good news. With my last case (Caseology carbon fiber) I had to remove the case anytime I needed to take a pic using the flash. I am currently using the retro nexus 4 bumper so no problem there. The magpul is one cool looking case, and with this info I might not be able to resist it! Thanks!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jphilippon:
Called and they said both of mine are arriving tomorrow. They must have not sent emails with tracking at all.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Scumbag Inc.:
Placed my order on the 31st. Arrived today.

The buttons aren't as hard to press as every review has said. While they are a little stiffer than without the case it's no big deal. The flash is a separate cutout but both it and the camera cutout are perfect. It does not interfere with the camera at all.

Watch out what charging cable you use though. I had one that was a little "fat" and would not go in all the way. I have another one that I believe is the cable that came with the Nexus 5 that works perfectly. The 3.5mm headphone jack works perfectly with the headphones I have.

Great case. Not too bulky. Feels just like a PMAG. The cool factor is worth it alone, even if not very many people will know the significance of your Magpul case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] billbradford:
No problems with tempered glass - just make sure it gets under the "edge lip" of the case. Wireless charging is fine.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mybelovedgh0st:
interested to buy the pink version of this case...

question: is the earphone hole big in this case?? can someone take a picture of the top??? i am asking because I bought a different case before but didn't like it since i wasnt able to use my Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones with the N5---My headphone's plug is quite thick/fat that the case hinders it from completely connecting with the device.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jphilippon:
It will be tough for me to decide between that gray and fde.. Can't wait!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cdonald:
I'm also interested in the headphone spot... Will headphones with an L-shaped fit?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] GalaxyWide:
I really want one of these (finally, an orange case that isn't awful!), but since I haven't used any of Magpul's other products I was wondering what sort of texture this has. Is it sticky/tacky? I have a Spigen SlimArmor right now, and while it's boring as all hell, it is very smooth and good with pockets.

If this isn't too tacky I'm definitely getting one :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] billbradford:
Not rubbery/tacky at all; they're solid and rough/grippy.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kvillafana:
I had this for my iPhone 5s and it was my daily driver case solid fit and feel is amazing
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ToZoX:
I would love to see the orange one...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jphilippon:
In direct sunlight. It's very light, a bit lighter than pictured here, I think. Still having a tough time deciding between this and FDE...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jphilippon:
Another of both.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
Nice! I still love the FDE. I haven't even used my black case yet.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
Also, added some grip to the back of mine...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ptesmoke:
I'll be here when you decide [emoji12]
[Nexus 5 Accessories] blbills:
Finally got mine today! It's been a looong wait but it was so worth it. This case is everything and more than I expected it to be. Thanks magpul! All my iphone friends have had these cases for years. I liked the case so much I almost bought an iPhone just so I could have the case. Glad I waited.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] herosemblem:
So it is worth the $24 or so?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] blbills:
I'd say yes.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
Of course if you're a Magpul fan! They don't make these to appeal to the normal user. If you don't want to pay shipping, then wait until other places stock them for cheaper shipping.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
I haven't gotten mine in yet but if it's anything like the iPhone case (which I'm sure it is) then it is absolutely worth it. It's an amazing case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jphilippon:
Really wanting to see an ODG!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimburke57:
So far, after a week, my only complaint is when I press the power button, it bubbles up my Nilkin glass SP. This is most likely due to slight misalignment on my install. Beyond that, this case is fantastic.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Best damn N5 case available. It's amazing.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jackattack:
I'm finding that I have to be very careful about how I position it on the official wireless charger. Even though it shows that it's charging, I'll sometimes wake up with a low battery.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
Yeah, I found that it has to be placed on the middle square of the case, under where it says Magpul. If you have it off center too much, it will not charge properly and mine got fire hot last week. I made a wood stand this past weekend just for this purpose. The stand places the phone in the same location over my Powerbot charger perfectly.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
This was a prototype and it was changed a few times. But, you get the point.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Man I love this case. It has quickly become part of my phone, and my N5 doesn't feel complete without it.

I took a razor blade and cut a slit on the screen side of the buttons, and the buttons are much easier to press. They are also more responsive now.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] cdonald:
Can anyone comment on these two aspects:

1) Will earphones with an "L-shaped" 3.5 mm jack fi in the headphone port well?

2) Any trouble with some thicker micro usb chargers fitting? I use the blackberry blade charger that is recommended on this forum, and am particularly interested if anyone can comment as to whether this charger fits without any issue.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] herosemblem:
I can say that this case leaves a *tiny* bit of extra space around the micro USB port. I doubt it will fit especially-large micro USB plugs.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] herosemblem:
I have this case I'm gray and it is the best out of the approximately 8 Nexus 5 cars I've owned.

Question: is the Flat Dark Earth actually more like a Flat LIGHT Earth? Pictures make it look light. I prefer the lighter tan than the darker tan for this case. Which would you say it is?

Also, I'd love to see this case in Foliage (green) color.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nb31b:
It's certainly darker than sand color, if that's what you're looking for. Think of it as a cross between desert tan and coyote brown...but more towards the brown. Foliage? Meh... I had to wear ACU's in Iraq and that is the most useless piece of crap camouflage pattern ever created. But that's just my opinion of course. Foliage by itself looks kinda decent, I guess. I'd rather have a desert tan option (or sand)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] herosemblem:
Thank you for the input, nb31b. I have a beanie in the foliage-only color, and I love the color for its looks and think it would be a nice color for the phone case. Obviously it won't be made because demand is too small. Foliage's usefulness as a concealment color is questionable, but that is OK and beside the point in my case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kvillafana:
Just ordered mine on Friday very excited.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] WarningHPB:
what screen protectors are every one using?

since the case keeps picking up the sides on my spigen crystal
[Nexus 5 Accessories] henry_gale:
I'm using the Nilkin tempered glass. No lifting, but it was installed pretty much centered.

What temps are you guys seeing when using wireless chargers? I have a Nokia charging plate and notice that temps have gotten pretty high...saw temps ~50*C once. Maybe because the case adds a greater distance from the charger to the phone? I've started to charge via cable again.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
Mine will get really hot if not centered over the coil exactly. I use the Powerbot puck charger and it works great if centered with the center square on the case back. I made a wooden stand that was a page back I think. It helps center the phone perfect everytime.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] henry_gale:
Thanks, I'll try to find the best positioning for my charger :good:

Pardon the question if it's redundant, but I don't want to read thru 13 pages. What is the feel of these cases? I can see its a matte finish, but it a slippery matte finish? (Kinda looks like it is) or does it have enough grit to it that it's got a good grip to it? Really like the design and I need a present for my dads bday coming up.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] herosemblem:
It is amazing and not slick. It is not sticky either. Best way you describe it... Like the side wall of a car tire? But even more appealing to feel.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Rattles:
just got my black case yesterday. i love everything about it but i had to take it off and go back to the Diztronic. i tried 3 different screen protectors and the Magpul lifted all 3 of them. i know that the Zagg case friendly will work but i had how the zagg feels :(

anybody know of a dry apply protector that will work with this case?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trrubicon06:
I don't know what your experience is with zagg, but the HD film that comes with the N5 case friendly is glass smooth to me. I've had the old zagg film and it was not smooth at all, but this HD film is. Just a thought.

Also someone here had mentioned that there glass protector worked with it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Rattles:
Thanks. I might give the Zagg a shot after all. I did pick up a glass screen protector from xtreme since they had that 85% off coupon so might as well give it a shot.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] sutobe:
Anyone knows a shop that ships to Germany for reasonable prices?

Magpul themselves don't offer shipment.

I got a red Nexus 5 as a replacement (my black one was charging the battery way too slow, took 6 hours with the AC charger) and my 2 days old Ringke Slim case doesn't cover everything up.

Besides, since I am in the military I think the Magpul case would do a better job tan the Ringke.

Willing to trade with a black field case and maaaaybe the dark flat earth.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jphilippon:
You do know the Ringke slim costs 1/3 as much as the Magpul?

Of course I'd compensate the rest in money. I thought this was pretty obvious
