Are you using a case? - Nexus 5X Accessories

I'm wondering if I should use a case on this phone. It has a plastic back so I'm thinking it will survive a drop better than a GS6 and I have a Square Trade warranty. What are you using?

Are the skins easy to apply? What brand do you prefer?

Dbrand. Easy to apply and high quality.

Mine is a little flexy, creaky, and lightweight by itself.
I put it in the Hybrid Supcase with the frost PC which gives it a little mass and rigidity, which helps with the feel.

Totally agree... I got just a cheap thin one. It added just enough to make the phone feel "right".

No case, I use a Slickwraps skin (black leather) and a vertical belt pouch from PDAir.

Yup. Plan on selling it next year with the money going towards the next Nexus phone. So better resale value if in great condition.

The plastic on the N5X will dent a lot easier than the GS6! No harm in getting a case

Yup! Don't want the back to wear out.

Must def better safe then sorry

I always use a case....

I don't want extra bulk but I am afrarid of dropping,maybe have a light case is prettty,still seeking.

No case, no skin, no screen protector. But I use a sleeve:

Nope, Nexus Protect has me covered. Plus it helps for resale when I can sell a sealed in-box item.

speck cases for galaxy tab

http://www.speckproducts.com/ipad/samsung-galaxy-tab.html
Anyone have any experience with this brand, the candy shell line in particular?
I had a Speck Candyshell for my iPhone 3GS and it was a pretty darn good case. I loved it and would buy it for my galaxy tab if I hadn't already ordered bodyguardz for my tab.
I am very much hoping to have some experience with the candy shell line from speck. Just as soon as they get it back in stock I will be ordering it. Until then I bought a cheaper version to keep the tab safe.
Hi can you post some pics of the candyshell please? Just to what it looks like...is it something similar to the Otterboc Commuter case?

I have the white candy shell from speck. I really like it fairly easy to put on and take off and the buttons are still easy to press and you can get the sd card out with the case still on.

Speck Case is far SUPERIOR!!!
Okay, I just received the Speck case for my GT and I have to say after owning a pretty good selection of cases from the Incipio SiliCrylic to the leather folio case to the OEM silicone and even the Otterbox Defender, this case is hands down the best case thus far.
It is well made, fits very snug and secure, the hard candy shell is fantastic and provides great grip-ability. Not to mention it slides easily into pockets and looks amazingly stylish. Great industrial design. Did I mention it adds no bulk what so ever... Kudos Speck!!!
If it only had a kick stand I would have got one
Sent from my GT-P1000
Does anyone know of a hard case like this with a built in kickstand? I've only seen one and it kind of looks a little cheap (it's mostly clear with colored rubber on the sides).
I'd love to ditch my book style case for something slimmer, but I need a kickstand.

Could always use it in Combination wit the Arkon Stand:

That's what I'm considering. I already have the stand and its pretty good.

Best affordable handmade sleeve

I just wanted to recommend a product I just received today. Go check out her etsy store. You can get handmade sleeves for just about any device and if your device isn't there, just let her know what you want and she'll make it for you. This sleeve is made with a durable dark denim material on the outside and a stylish, soft colored interior fabric. Well-made and incredibly cheap. I got mine for just $16 + $5.50 shipping. She is based in Latvia so it takes a week or two to get to you but it is well worth the wait. For those of you who are going naked (no case on the Nexus), I highly recommend this seller's product. Even her packaging is well thought out and well designed.

Anyway, there's the link. And no, I am in no way affiliated with this seller.

How tight is it? Could I fit my N7 inside my Poetic case?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Those look really nice, actually. Though I usually don't go for just cloth cases.

No, but you could measure how much extra thickness and width it adds to your tab and send her a custom request. I don't think it costs any extra.. but don't quote me on that. My naked Nexus 7 slides easily, just perfectly, into the sleeve. With my thin incipio hardshell case it was a bit difficult to slide it, though possible. It also has to do with the slightly rubberized texture of the incipio case though.
And yeah, the case is just cloth with some soft fluffy batting inside for some padding. It is actually surprisingly durable, though from a 5 foot fall straight onto the corner of the tab, I'm not sure how much protection it will offer. Though, the corners are probably the best padded part. For throwing in a book bag it's pretty perfect.

The one you pick. It's a very subjective answer. Case A is best for me, but case B may be best for you.

haha yes it does begin again. . . those are all good, but for only 8.50 off Amazon or even less sometimes on eBay, the Duzign Sentinel has to receive strong consideration. If only the Seidio clip was compatible with it, this would be my top one. The TPU case is very firm, yet malleable enough for great protection and the exoskeleton provides added structure and defense while being very cool, and it comes with a serviceable kickstand. Just don't order the white/black one--the white TPU case gets dirty very fast. I am rocking the black on black and it is my daily driver.

That one's the best but we use different ones because we prefer to use the vastly inferior cases instead.

these are totally awesome
mercury slim fit silicone case ftw. i typically like hard cases because i feel that they provide superior protection but with the note 2 being so large, anything other than this case make the phone unbearable. besides, it's cheap as well. best thing to do: have the case/screen-protector for the oops moments and every time other than that, hold on to the phone for dear life.

Hey OP, did you bother to look at the 3 dozens threads already started about the exact same question? You couldn't toss a rock in this forum without hitting a case thread, and every single one of the is riddled with pics, reviews, and user comments. Do us all a favor and search before posting.

Puregear jelly black licorice case

I ordered this, it came today. The case is pretty nice. It has a slim profile, tpu backing with rigid sides. I'll have pics up in the morning if anybody is interested. 18.99 on ebay
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
so here are pictures of the case, sorry im a little late with getting these up. The case is a rigid TPU style case, clear on the back with back accents on the sides. It is a tight fit with the phone, but once in its very secure. The case doesnt wrap around the curvature of the phone all the way, so it looks like there will be no issue with a tempered glass screen protector. All the ports have access, including the IR port for the TV app. There is no lensing issues with the camera, or flash reflection, which is nice. The only real downside to this case is getting used to how far you need to press your finger to use the power switch, but im over that. there is also the slightest of gaps in the top of the case by the power button, but its a non-issue for me. Overall im happy with the case.

Thanks for the pictures, the case looks great! Does it add a lot of bulk or weight to the phone?

its a little thicker, but if i dont have something solid, ill do some foolish thing, all in ll its not bad
I had that case and sent it back for refund. It's a great case but I like a little more edge lip than this had. It's very low profile with excellent grip. I am opting between the clear UAG case or the supcase that I'm still waiting on to be delivered.

trident case recommendation

With most of the phones going slimmer, the availability of cases to house an xperia play in a trident case is limited.
Anyone suggest a case for the play in the trident? I've been using a MOBO brand and it's served well but it's getting beat up.
I can't comprehend what you're trying to say. A case for the Xperia PLAY in Trident? Isn't Trident already a case?

sorry to be unclear. a carrying case is what I'm looking for.
I've had the aegis case from trident for about 2 years now. Both the case and my phone are still in "like new" condition thanks to it so I can highly recommend getting it. I don't even use a screen protector, and my screen is still pristine.
Here's the case I have

Ya the touchpads slide out just fine. I've read that the otterbox has a latch that sort of lifts and rubs on the gamepad when sliding it, which this case doesnt.

Its a bit thicker, but easier to grip from the ribs on the side.
Also the volume buttons are easier to press with the case on because of how much more they protrude.
And about the price, I think it's worth it for the protection. I've dropped it in situations where it would have smashed if the case wasn't on, saving me from buying a new phone
