Could be nice, always prefer slim shell cases over bulky ones (although I've just ordered the LG Bumper Case to come with my Nexus 5)

Awesome, looking forward to the review. I was thinking of jumping on the white as well. I'm just concerned with it being a matte finish.

Anything that isn't black with a matte finish tends to stain easily which is probably one of the reasons why the white Nexus 5 uses a different material. I'm hoping that isn't the case with yours, so I can pick one up!

Looks just like the quick cover, but without the cover.

Honestly, the recessed button would annoy me if it weren't for the cover waking the screen. Its not all that easy to press. Other than that it seems like a great case.

Which Bell store did you pick it up from?

I also ordered the same case (online), and got an email shortly after that it was not yet in stock, but they would ship it out when it was.

I've asked around in a few stores, and it seems like they don't have them yet, either.

I ordered last week on November 26th, and about an hour or so after got this:

Thank you for shopping online at bell.ca.

We've received your order however, unfortunately, the product you ordered is temporarily out of stock. We do expect to receive more in the near future.


Please let us know if you'd like to wait for the product to become available or, if you would like to choose another product of equal or lesser. If you would like to choose another product, please reply to this email with your new selection. If we do not hear from you, your order will remain active and you will receive your original product as it becomes available.



We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thank you for your understanding.
I interpreted it as "we don't have them in stock yet". It was pure luck that I happened to be browsing the Bell site for N5 accessories.

I'll post here when I get an update.

Hope these come out in the UK, would be nice to have something slimmer than the bumper case (which is nice btw)

Yeah I couldn't wait for your review! I ordered a white case from the bell mobility site.

We'll see if it's just pre-order or if I get it in a week.

    Hey guys. I kept the cases as you may know and what I did was apply dbrand's awesome skins on the white and black. Looks fantastic!

    The black N5 is already rugged and durable by itself, it doesn't scratch easily. So in my opinion the black shell is supervacaneous, but to each his own.

    To be honest and anyone can tell you that any layer between the phone and the outside environment serves a purpose of some form of protection. For example let me drop mine with the hardshell on on it's back on gravel or anything rough, better yet let me slide mine on its back on a those same surfaces and then you do the same with your's naked and lets see what happens to the body of yours and mine. I pretty much guarantee yours will have scuff marks or noticeable scratches you can feel and be pretty bummed and mine well my case may be marred up just the same but my phone will be fine. But like you said to each his own and I perfer the black hardshell to keep the look, feel, and size of the phone while having a little added security and having a glass protector gives me that much more security for corner or front facing drops all while still feeling naked.

    I requested a return via amazon because the case has no nexus logo and look at the **** these guys are trying to pull. Does anyone have a screen grab for the original listing on Amazon showing the case with logo?

    Sure dude. A quick search under Google (using their cached pages) came up with this beauty. Go get em bud.

    Google Cache White: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:c1-N1Bc_rkUJ:www.puremobile.com/lg-aaa75187802-hardshell-nexus-5-white+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ca

    The black case doesn't show though.

    I made a quick snipping tool pic for you in case it goes down.

    When you show it to them, give both the pic and the cached Google page. Tell them they've clearly changed it and are purposely misleading you.
