smorcy11 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Ok, so now that many of us have a Nexus 5 on the way, what accessories are you eyeing? Cases, wireless charging mats, etc... I've never liked cases, but I'm usually a bit paranoid when if it's buy and try a case for a bit. Then the newness wears off and I ditch the case. I've always thought that if I am paying for a $400+ piece of hardware, I shouldn't feel like I'm holding a bulky plastic $5 case. So what accessories have you ordered or are you planning to?

lilg740 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I bought new a X-Way Accessory kit for dash mount. So I will need some kind of case. Not a whole lot 3rd party out there yet and I dont plan on paying $35 for a case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a whole lot 3rd party out there yet and I dont plan on paying $35 for a case. Not a ton of options, but Amazon has a handful of makers out there. I don't like the gel cases (find it "grabby") on the inside of pants pocket, but I don't want bulky plastic either. What's the best option or material to look for?

Do they get exact dimension listings for size and for the cutouts from the manufacturer? Wondering how they could be super accurate when no one has one.

lilg740 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 It is. Spigen has multiple deals up... good stuff. Well I see that they are selling the case by itself for $25 on their own website but their official ebay store has that deal. I'm not getting mine until like November 30, but i might get this now anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordsutch Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I ordered 3 different Cruzerlite cases (buy 2, get 1 free) via Amazon; I've had a Cruzerlite TPU case on my Evo 4G LTE since I bought it and have been pretty happy. One of the cases (black Experience) already came today (occasionally I get Prime orders in one day), beating the phone by a weekend; the other two I ordered (blue Androidified and blue Spi-Force; the latter has the stand built in) weren't Prime eligible and are apparently being shipped by the manufacturer. In the same order I also picked up this iBolt car mount, which as far as I can tell so far is identical to the car mounts they sell for Android devices for $40; it works fine with my Nexus 4 and Evo 4G LTE, at least. iBolt was the OEM for the "official" Sprint Evo 4G LTE dock.

You guys should really try out the X-Way/FixWay line from Tetrax. They are awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jswets Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Spigen Steinheil screen protectors (one of the best SP money can buy) SGP neo hybrid case. I got the Neo case as well.

lilg740 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I don't see anything there that is compatible with anything but the iPhone? Did you watch the video? The X-Way and Fix Way are universal to any smartphone/gps. Its just a dash mount or vent mount. They are really nice and don't ubstruct the view of the screen at all. They hold really well as well.

My apologies, no I didn't because I was on a pretty sparse sprint connection at the time so I just went to the manufacturer's website and I wasn't clear what the product did from looking at their website. It looked to me like the mounts had to be mated with a particular case. I do see now after being home and watching the video how that works. Looks like a really interesting solution.

aerxx Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Was looking at that case. Is it a hard plastic, or more of a spongy soft feel? No clue. I ordered it just on the premise that its cheap and I can replace it if I dont like it. Wont ship til tomorrow either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotimz Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Got my Spigen neo hybrid case in. Pretty good feel and look. Not as thick as my TPU case that protected my GS2 for 2 years but it'll do fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a leap as well. Ordered this one - [NEW RELEASE] RINGKE SLIM® Google Nexus 5 Case [sF BLACK] SUPER SLIM + SF COATED + PERFECT FIT Premium Hard Case Cover for Google Nexus 5 [AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, Unlocked, ECO Package] http://amzn.com/B00EPLTC1I I find it humorous that there are reviews on the cases, people actually talking about how well it fit their Nexus 5.
