I just ordered a Nexus 5 from Google and need a good case. I'd like it to be as slim as possible and offer some protection.

I'm currently using a UAG case on my S3 and love it but it do not see a UAG case for the Nexus 5.

Also any recommendations on screen protectors are welcome.

Thanks

I have this one. It doesn't offer a lot of protection, but I did drop the phone yesterday from about 4' straight onto concrete and the phone doesn't have a scratch.

That's the only drawback of Nexus phones. No love from any of the major accessory companies. I've never found a case that I was completely happy with for my Nexus 4.

This is the case I have on my N5 since launch. I got it because I prefer a kickstand.

If you're looking for thin and unobtrusive, I recommended the Spigen Neo Hybrid.

i dont carry a wallet so this one works perfect for me.

advantages:
- dropped my phone about 50 bazillion times and its never so much as scratched it
- license, emergency $100 bill (hidden) & credit card fit beautifully inside
- my QI charger works without having to take the case off
- **NEXUS 5** knows when you open the case and automatically turns on (and off)

i love it. it was like $3 at amazon so whats your risk? You spend more on a shitty cup of coffee.

I second the Spigen Neo Hybrid. I've had it for three phones. It's a great case.

Google didn't make a bumper for the nexus 5 like the 4 has? The bumper for the Nexus 4 works really well.

Yes, they make one. It's different than the bumper case I had on my Nexus 4.

Cruzerlite

I had previously used the Spigen Ultra Hybrid but prefer the Cruzerlite.

Cruzerlite has a much better fit and not as boxy. Also not problems with any connections and use with Qi chargers Nokia DT-900 and Tylt Vu without any issue.
