This thread might be useless, but has anyone seen the iPhone 4 bumper case? It looks pretty good, it does not offer much protection coz it only covers the side. But it does not bulk up the phone like most cases do, and it shows the back of the phone as well where the logo is.
I could use something like that for the nexus and show off the phone built by Google
You had it right from the start..
Anywho, I like my Boxwave Crystal Pure case.. doesn't obscure the Nexus at all, but gives it some protection and grip.

Bumpers are constructed using d3o instead of rubber. Used in helmets and body armor.

Sorry for bad English.
They should at least publish a picture with that Case actually mounted on the P500....I would like to see that before buying.
I wouldn't put a hard plastic case on ANY of my devices, even if you pay me too
Get a TPU one instead
stupid question: whats a TPU?
TPU is a kind of a plastic. TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane. Its useful for its transparency and elasticity. Its also scratch resistant to a level. Hence can be utilised for making mobile phone cases.

Are most people using a case for the P500? I think I like it without, but haven't tried a case yet. I like how easy I can slip it into my pants pocket and the back is grippy enough and doesn't really show marks as it is.
I am using the amzer black silicon case, its nice
silicon or tpu?
ok which one should i go with?

I would go with TPU because I had bad experiences with the silicone case that I first bought (wasn't from that company). I think TPU has better protection and is easier to slip into your pocket that's why I would pick TPU.
I have the white TPU clear case from ebay. Initially I always had it on the phone but I find that it adds unnecessary weight and bulkiness to the phone. I've had the case off for about a month now and I find it more usable compared to before, probably cos I was always worried it would get scratched.
I ordered the one in the OP and it should be coming in today or tomorrow, I'll take pics, upload them along with my thoughts.
Im not sure if its just mine but the case did not fit well, almost as if the phone was too big for the case. the parts of the case that were supposed to snap together did not make contact. oh well, will have to try a TPU case next.
TPU
Does lint and dust stick to TPU easily? That's one thing I hate about rubber cases.
Hey i was thinking as no bumpers are available
can we make a bumper out of tpu case by cutting it?
don't want to hide that awesome sparkly effect of nexus 4
what say any tried that out
Tried it and it works to a point but unless you cut it precisely or with a machine it won't come out right I used one of the clear S line series and had a lot of miscuts o well

If you're considering a TPU bumper, then might as well get a Poetic Bumper, as that is what it is. Their Poetic Atmosphere is a clear TPU with "bumper" material in the right places, as another option.
Did it as well, the sides are a bit too lose if you want a true bumper. Cut it more like a poetic and it may be fine but I regret doing it for what it matters.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
so you guys say that it is better to have more thick and cut less so the tpu material can withstand the forces?
Has a s-line case. Got a second free from poetic. I made it into a bumper. It looks horrible .... Would not recommend unless you have an extra FREE case lying around.

In your opinion is the Rearth Ringke Hybrid Fusion Case much more thicker than an original Bumper?

Not to answer for him, but having the official bumper twice and both times selling them because I just didn't like the functionality of it. Comparing both, the Rearth is like any tpu case out there just a clear back, where the official bumper makes the phone a bit wider to my personal preference.

It does make the phone quite a bit thicker than the official bumper. Still feels good to use though.

Great review, I've been using the case for about a week now and when I finally took it off I remembered how much easier the buttons were to press. If they could fix them this case would be amazing. I wish my plastic was as clear as yours, mine looks "foggy" even after removing the screen protectors.

They seem to pick up grease very quickly which gives a foggy effect. Try using window cleaner on it.

Another user used Meguiar's NXT car wax. Just a little dab on the front and back and it looked shiny and new again! LOL.
Would it be too much If I asked If you could measure the total width of the phone with the case on? Just to get a better picture of how much it adds on the sides as in the videos and photos it doesn't look more than 1.5-2mm.
Thanks!
sorry for the bad english...
im an idf soldier and im constantly in the field and exposed to dust and sand... also the phone is exposed to hit and falls...
im looking for a case that will protect from those things... i saw the BALLISTIC Nexus 5 SG MAXX Case but it has some flaws like in the screen protector that is not fully closed...
is there any other cases? actually the perfect case for me is this: youtube.c om/ watch?v=18c8gEoeJ9Y that combines battery and protection...
thanks..

I think the only way to keep the dust out would be to get a waterproof case like this.

i've seen it and there is no such case for the nexus 5... altough there is a good case " CONVERT® with Metal Kickstand Combo" for the nexus but it lacks the front protection...
I've scoured the threads here, and the internet at large and haven't come across a leather backed open face case for the 6p. I am aware of the custom workaround at the moment of using a dbrand or slickwraps leather on a slim spigen or dztronic case but am wondering if there are any, or any eta's on an open faced, leather backed case. Distressed leather preferably.
Pierre Cardin makes them for the note 5 but not for the 6p which i found disappointing. I thought it might be because of the unique camera array on the back, but the folio cases manage to do it, so that can't be the issue.
Look forward to you your replies
cheers,
Pierre Cardin for note 5 example
have you looked into tetded?
Never mind. Just read the post again.

Yeah, teded has some decent folio cases but the flip, is just too much to deal with if you take pictures regularly. I tried it with my mate 7 and nexus 6 and it was not a good experience for me.

Or you could try a skin on a case. Something like this. Not real leather, I know, but some of them do look decent. I used the Spigen Rugged armor and d-brand. I've heard of others using Diztronic and the Spigen thin fit.

Slickwraps actually makes leather skins for the 6P; it's called their "Natural" series and they use Horween leather (same material as found on the Moto X and LG G4). It doesn't offer visor coverage like the vinyl skins do, but if you're looking for real leather this is probably your best bet.
I'd also suggest petitioning @LAURCORE (Toastmade) to research designing leather skins, too, as they had done for the Nexus 6.

Is the case very soft to the touch? I got a Tetded case, and the leather is stretched so tight that it almost feels plasticky. This case looks amazing though. And I only see an option for black. How did you get brown?
