No Spigen Slim Armor, what else? - Nexus 5X Accessories

Ok, so I have a slim armor case for my old nexus 5, and am looking for something equivalent for the new nexus 5x that is about to arrive. Does one such exist, or am I looking at either of the two cases mentioned in...

Spigen slim armor was my favorite Nexus 5 case ,in fact bought an extra one. When I got the 5x I was surprised that they didn't have one.. Closes thing I found is the tudia slim fit. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B015L...ywords=tudia+nexus+5x&dpPl=1&dpID=41OCcLqRJWL

Armour x case

Has anyone got any experience with the armour x case at the below link, possibly some pictures of it on the titanium grey note 2.
Was looking at the Seido active but the magnet affecting the spen has put me off.

Thats a generic case. Dont pay that much. You can get it for about $7 on Amazon.com. search for rhino case.

I'm in the uk and they don't have rhino case on the uk site.

I'm currently using this case. Overall, it's a pretty good buy as it protects the phone well through my daily usage. Access ports are covered and it has a kickstand which I think are great additions.
My only gripe is that the silicone skin is a little too soft and doesn't grip to the front well so sometimes while I'm using it, I tend to sort of peel it off a little. I never experienced this with the Commuter.
The Rhino case is an exact copy of the Armor X but it comes with a holster. The Armor X doesn't. Damn! If it had a holster, I wouldn't need to worry about the front anymore...
I have seen it on eBay too, you should be able to find it for much cheaper.

i like it alot...only issue is that sliding in and out of holster is not easy...its a bit tight

Diztronic TPU case

Anyone try this case yet? I've used them on my last 2-3 devices and I like how simple and thin they are but they do the job when I drop my phone

I'm guessing you didn't look through the other threads:

Your guess is right on as I searched for TPU being my preferred type of case.
Does this brand fit with the G2's international version?
just ordered one of these today from amazon.

I have one of these on my Verizon LG G2. The case adds just enough texture to take the slipperyness of the G2 away without being big bulky and obtrusive. You also cannot beat the price.

Same here, hoping to like it better than the Spigen Slim Armor. Less protection I assume but we'll see. May also try out the Ballistic

Just got one today also.... Replaced my Spigen slim armor. The case fits well but it's slightly loose on the bottom part. I've written to Diztronic to see if I got one that was defective. Keeping it on our mow... The Slim Armor was too bulky and heavy for me

I am on my second phone (diff phones) and have stuck with these cases (2nd case). Just had the scariest drop over the weekend was drunk and bored flipping my phone in the air, bounced off my motorcycles gas tank and onto the concrete in the garage...
pulled off the case, not a dent/scratch on her..
mine also has a slight bend at the bottom.. but no biggy.
This is currently the case I'm using now. I started with Diztronic tpu cases on my galaxy nexus and it always did well. Was never afraid to drop my phone. Decided to go with it again on my g2 . You can't go wrong with this slim case, especially for the price.

Case Show Down

As the title states, which case would you choose and why out of the three of them. Looking at the slim armor but want opinions from others who have any of them.

i have the slim armor soul black and the incipio teal blue case. i dont like the camera and button cutout on the incipio. they shouldve made it tighter and not so open. i havent opened the slim armor package yet to try it on due to waiting on my tempered glass screen protector, but it is a nice looking case. also spigen makes quality products ive ordered several cases from them in the past with no disappointments. the otterbox is just too big! (thats what she said) <--- get that out of the way. at least in my opinion.
so slim armor it is!

I had the commuter with my S4 and I liked it at first then tried on the Speck Candyshell and asked why I ever got the otterbox. It seems like there arn't as many choices with the G2 vs. the S4, might be cause of the whole VZW vs. others deal. I wanted to try the slim armor the first time around and I think i'm going to pull the trigger now that you mentioned that the Incipio isn't the best.
Thanks

Naked or with Case

I just wanted to know who was thinking of just going bare bones naked on this bad boy, or if it will be in need of a case?
gonna get a clear case, so basically naked
For me it depends on how slippery the phone is. I've had a couple of phones that you just couldn't hold on to without a case.

I prefer naked in a belt holster, but the only ones I can find require a case, so looks like I'll be cased for a while!
Naked and in my pocket.

I bought the same case, the mint one. haven't got it yet though. How's the quality of yours?
I got the Ringke Fusion
I used a ringke slim on my N5 and N6. I've been naked with the G4 since it launched. If the 5X is sufficiently grippy naked, which I hope it is, then I'll go with that
Got two cases:

I have a Ringke Slim (clear), TUDIA TPU (black) and the ADOPTED one (clear and hasn't arrived yet). The TUDIA and Ringke are nice so far but I only opened them to see how they felt.

Picked up the clear Ringke.
Cases are fugly
Naked only
Just bought the smoke black Ringke Fusion for my N5X Carbon. Hope it is decent and matches it well.
My N4's bumper has saved it a few times, but I'll see how this feels in the hand without, though.
I like a black leather skin and a PET screen protector. Hoping Slickwraps steps up to the plate for the skin. I usually carry mine in a pouch case (PDAir) on my belt.

Sorry about the late reply overall its pretty good and I love the minimal front bezel bump
Ringke told me their cases don't work with the fingerprint sensor. Can anyone confirm?

I'll let you know but it doesn't ship until 10/27 according to Google. I'll post pictures and compare it to my other cases for you

Old 1+1 Case Fits my 1+3

Just to let you know, if you're in a pinch like me and your case doesn't get here for a few days, you can repurpose an old 1+1 TPU case like the Diztronic and your 1+3 will fit in nicely. The buttons even align pretty well too....the volume rocker is a little lower on this model, but that's a small price for protection until my new case gets here.
Still waiting on that diztronic tpu case to come out for the 1+3 though.....another couple weeks to go.
Haha lol. I got mine in OnePlus one tudia tpu case until orzly case arrives. I'm pretty sure we have more owners in similar shoes.
