[Q] need a dustproof case for the nexus 5. - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Diztronic TPU Case VIDEO+WRITTEN REVIEW

Nexus 4 Diztronic Case Review
$12.50- Diztronic Matte Black TPU
$12.50- Diztronic Matte Smoke TPU
Diztronic Website
Design
5/5
The back of the case has a nice glossy tough black cover. The bottom of the case has a good looking shiny Diztronic logo on it and a slot cut open for the camera and speakers. The edges are made of a gelly type of material that makes the case easy to go in, but tougher to take out. This is a plus in my book because it makes the phone seem like it melts into the case. The edges of the case go over the screen making a bit of a "lip". This could be an issue if you use a screen protector, but don't quote me on it. The buttons can be pressed very easily and they aren't stiff at all. The buttons are the most easy to press out of any case I have ever used.
Protection
5/5
This case protects all aspects of the phone while still keeping a thin and light profile. The "lip" on the front of the case will definitely help to reduce the impact on the phone if dropped face first.
Final Verdict
5/5
This is probably the best case I've used so far for the Nexus 4. At $12.99 you get a high quality case made with premium materials. You can tell Diztronic took the time to make sure they got everything right. This case gives you maximum protection, looks, and feel while keeping your beloved Nexus 4 protected.
Good Video man....I ordered my case on the 5th so hopefully it will come in tomorrow...and it looks very good...Im using the clear tpu you had in the video now..but once again good video as it should help others who are thinking about buying the case and since watching the vid i know im gonna be very happy when mine arrives.
good review. I just received mine yesterday, and was extremely surprised on the quality of it for being 13 bucks.
I HATE using cases on my phone due to being a minimalist and enjoying the slim design, but this one just fits perfectly! I enjoy the added gloss coating around the lip that goes on the screen..it creates a nice blending effect with the screen.
I've read a few people mention that the power/volume buttons are a little stiff to press, but honestly, they must be weak af, or they got a defective case. The buttons are extremely responsive with the least amount of pressure.
Forgot to mention that the back of the cases doesn't attract ANY fingerprints. That's a big deal for me because I hate cleaning off the back of fingerprint covered cases.
How's the screen protector? Any cons?
Ordered mine couple days ago. Should be getting it tomorrow

Can you test it out with USB cables which use a thicker connector? I hate having to carry the OEM USB cable with me everywhere since that's the only one that fits with my case. I like have USB cables everywhere I go.

I checked the video and you showed all the sides except the bottom where the usb port is. If you post a pic of it, he might be able to judge whether case opening is large enough or not.
Good review though. Still waiting for my n4, but I'm ordering this case so the phone won't be naked after it is unboxed.
Case is well worth it. Just got mine today. Watch the screen protector putting it on though.

Bumper from tpu case?

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

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.

If you're on a budget, Ionic and Exact should be fine. But I really like CaseMate.
That casemate looks good. The ionic and exact seem more feminine, they're the same correct? The ballistic meh.. not really digging it.
here are a couple more options for budget cases
Triple Armor Hybrid
Heavy Duty w/kickstand
Triple Armor Style 2
Black Armor
dont you think all those case make your phone big and covers up everything. they spend a lot of time designing the phone, its suppose to be shown off. i believe a screen protector and a clear tpu case will be enough to protect the phone. tpu case will be enough to protect the phone from a fall. just my opinion.

Thanks for the extra case ideas [ although as I said above, price isn't an issue ] :
Triple Armor Hybrid --- Looks like a cheap Ballistic Shell case, ill pass.
Heavy Duty w/kickstand --- I hate stands XD
Triple Armor Style 2 --- Looks cheap and unreliable to hold.
Black Armor --- I really hate stands :laugh:

That's true. My friend had a bumper on his N4, he dropped it on carpet and the back glass cracked. But then he just put a dbrand skin on the back, and it's not noticeable anymore.
Have you looked at the acase cases? I have one on order, it seems like it might fit the bill perfectly.

You are right. But for some reason it does not appear on theirs website...
Anyways. It is indeed a nice case... after checking few reviews and pictures I will not buy it because it has a smooth back plastic cover.
From my experience it is not the best thing to hold when your hands are sweaty.

Advice for a new case (I own a Ringke Fusion)

Hi guys,
i own a Ringke Fusion for my Nexus 5 and i'm happy about the protection and also with the feel that the case gives to the phone! Unfortunately there are some negatives things.
After some months of use the TPU that surrounds the case turns yellow and this is the first issue, and i noticed that the case has some parts where the dust enters (near the speakers and also on the top of the phone). These are the two issues of the case because in the end it is a good case!
I'd like to have some advice for another case possibly with the same style (clear back, shock absorption) i was looking to the Ultra Hybrid by Spigen....are there similar problem also on this case? However i accept any advice also for other cases!
Thanks in advance
If you want one with a clear back definitely go with the tech21. I have one it's awesome. I prefer my spigen slim armor though. Also the nexus 4 replica bumper for the n5 is really awesome, not super protective though. The slim armor makes me feel safer if I were to drop it. My problem with clear back cases is they seem to get scratched and then look like crap. That's why when I want something slim I use the n4 replica.
If you can compromise with clear back, go for spigen cases...

@Lokke9191 well the tech21 case seems really good...but it's too expensive..i'm happy with the protection of the Ringke (i dropped the phone a couple times and it hasn't any damage)...thanks for the advice! Maybe in future i will buy the tech21 that seems amazing!
@jaj473 i want the clear back because i like to see the back of my phone! however i'd like to buy the spigen...can you confirm that it hasn't the problem of the Ringke? Like the problems that i described in the first post..
Then guys are there only these cases with clear back? (I mean tech21 and spigen besides the Ringke) or are there other cases? Sorry for double posting but i need to buy the case as soon as possible!

Pretty sure dust is even more of an issue with the Spigen, according to what users have been saying for months. It has even bigger gaps.
You had the all clear Fusion case right? Only the clear TPU will yellow, not the clear by acrylic BTW.

Ok thanks for your warning.. In fact I remembered that I bought the ringke because the spigen had some issues.. However also in the ringke the dust is an horrible issue.. It enters from the speakers are and also from 3.5 hole.. As for the yellow yes only the tpu turned yellow the clear back is still good and not yellow.. What's your advice about a new cover?

Many options out there, I'm sure you can choose one for yourself better than I ever could.
I just know when I was comparing the Ringke Fusion and Spigen Hybrid, they're pretty similar but the Spigen is bigger in your hand, has slightly bigger gaps (holes for dust), and the buttons don't click nice like the Ringke. On the other hand it's built better than the Ringke (less defects in the molding) but also costs twice as much.
At this point I've put my Ringke away and just use a $2 Quicksand case for added grip (eBay). This is a thin case that won't protect from serious damage though, just lets you hold the phone easier so I don't feel I will ever drop it anymore. I should say I have the white N5 though which is slippery compared to the black N5's soft touch coating.

Thanks for the detailed reviews.. I like the style of ringke (and also spigen).. My ringke protected my phone a lot then i want to stick with a cover like this! I was thinking to take a fake spigen ultra hybrid on aliexpress what do you think?

You should take a look at the Official LG Case. It's hands down the most minimal case I've ever used or seen. Same type of feeling as the Nexus 5 back. Plus, it has a nice LG logo to show off.

I hate dust, but unfortunately every case I have used has that issue. I'm currently using the nexus 4 replica case with a dbrand skin and a glass screen protector. I really like the way it looks. I'm hoping the protection is fine, since the sides/corners are covered by the case, the front by the glass SP, and the back by the skin.
Spigen cases ftw. I'm using the slim armor case from spigen. AWESOME

Spigen Ultra Hybrid not as bad as you might think!!!
Spigen did release a revised Ultra Hybrid case to "counter" the dust.
Which is what I have, it's a tighter fit and was offered as a replacement to some for free.
The dust that gets trapped is barely anything, and if it does trap a decent amount (after like a week). You can easily blow it out!
The back took a while to get used to, but I love the feel, shape, look and how Premium it seems.

We've all been there.
Your case will always have "something" or... miss "something".
I recommend looking at your options, from what I can tell you've mentioned "Tech21" and the Spigen Ultra Hybrid.
Which are really similar (from what I could see briefly looking on google images).
An idea would be to look at some of the armoured cases, Spigen is quite good with these.
But as always, watch out for the fakes. (Not all are bad though...)

Tech 21 is a great protective case. Only downside is its clear back scratches easily as their are no feet to raise it up from the surface it has been placed on.
Unfortunately there are no perfect cases, but all of the ones you mentioned sure do come close.

Which Ringke did you buy? I bought one of their slim cases (white plastic) and I have not put it on since I don't think it will protect the phone much.
I have the Samsung case on it now, but the headphone cut out is too small!
I just left my 1 star review. Total bs with this case. Nice scratched up new phone I have. Waiting for spigen to replace my phone (yeah right lol)
Yea wish I knew before I bought this case
I thought this case was the bees knees until you guys made me remove it to find a few light scratches on the top of my phone. I guess it's the sharp inside lip on the case that's the cause....boooo.

Yea it looks almost black in the picture, but it's Navy Blue.
I have the slate and I really like how they shared the original look of the phone with the chamfered edges and making them glossy. As far as scratches go, I already had some before I started using the case just from being in my pocket. Besides that, I can't see those scratches when its in the case. And for anyone to think that this shiny polished edge will never get a scratch on it is absurd. A case is probably the worst thing for it if you ever get some dirt or dust in there.

Right. People are going crazy on spigen and complaining but it's samsung the one that made the soft metal bezel. I have the Capsule case and I love it and yeah I have a few tiny scratches but if you think another case won't do the same thing you are sadly mistaken. I hit my bezel with some polish wax and now you can barely see the scratches. Slapped my case back on and I'm good to go. Not worried about resale value anyway of the device since they have none as it is. I love the case.
