The Nexus 5 Accessories thread

Hello bros, does anyone has experience of using any of these cases/SP for nexus 5. Can share your experience?

Spigen Ultra Thin Air
Spigen Ultra Hybrid (Grey on white Nexus 5)
Nillkin 9H Hardness Tempered Glass Front Screen Protector

I used both ultra thin and ultra hybrid. Both are crystal clear version. That being said, the crystal clear ultra thin is very slippery on the sides. Also, being hard plastic, the sides may scratch the sides of the phone if you are concerned about scratches. Ultra hybrid crystal clear has soft tpu sides so no worries about scratches. But the ultra hybrid add more bulk to the svelte phone. Btw im using a white nexus 5.

Well, the rebuttal would be :

Don't you think having a notification light that you can't see quite stupid?

I used belt hole puncher to punch holes for my flip cases for s3 and s4. Certainly useful imo.

I use neo hybird
H+ only recommended if your hand is less oily, the anti-fingerprint not as good as the normal nillkin one

Thanks colin27 & shichuanhua..
Is it advisable to use phone naked with just screen protector Does the back of the phone pick up stain n scratches quickly Also shichuanhua, which other Nillkin SP do you recommend.

I only tried H+ and anti-glare. I'll prefer anti-glare
but the colour on h+ tempered really nice..
I think using naked phone isn't a great idea. i dropped my phone once without casing. the back of the phone came out sia.

Yeah, the sad thing about this phone is the resistance to dropping. It's better to at least have a slim casing, I also dropped once, lucky my casing saved it.

Yeah, like I said so above.

But these days I just use my pebble so no urge to punch hole yet.

Same same.. Nowadays with the pebble watch, no longer need holes..

No matter what, always prudent to use a case with any phone.. You just never know when you will drop your phone.

Any casing that is easy to grab/hold for Nexus 5 to recommend? Some of the casing got this slippery feeling.

Hey sorry RoLanTo, i'm also waiting to hear news from USPS, the last update i got on tracking from them was 3 days ago, and it's impossible to get through their voice system.

I can, it's quite awesome. 10/10 for a TPU case. Definitely not those cheap ones you find at the shops.
