Any updates on cases/screen protectors you have purchased and experience with?

I've been thinking about a wallet style case (slim as possible) and have found some options, but can't decide.

I am interested in this as well. My Nexus 5 shipped yesterday.

I got a spigen case and screen protector on amazon before I had my nexus delivered, and I've been using it pretty non-stop. It's a pretty slim case so it doesn't add much size, but I don't worry about scratching my phone at all which is good. Easy access to all the ports and buttons, but not the most protective of cases.

There's some sort of UPS shipping delay today in Calgary (the day my Nexus is scheduled to arrive). "NETWORK DISRUPTION DUE TO PRIOR WEATHER CONDITIONS, CHECK UPS.COM FOR FURTHER UPDATES". i tried calling ups, but they had no further updates, hopefully i get it tomorrow.

I have the same case, and I'm really happy with it. If you don't need a lot of protection, I recommend it.

Is anyone having issue with the panoramic function where the pictures are way under exposed?

Looks properly exposed on mine. Do you have the Android 4.4.2 update? (Settings -> About Phone -> Android Version). The 4.4.2 update really improved the exposure.

Still haven't got the 4.4.2 update.... Hopefully it gets better with 4.4.2. It's currently unusable no matter which app I use for panorama.

Camera itself works fine.

I have bought the cruzerlite TPU cases. Great quality case with cutouts for the buttons. You can find them on Amazon (sometimes with prime shipping as well).

My girlfriend bought the Spigen Neo Hybrid, seems to add a bit of bulk but overall is a good quality case. She ended up getting a cruzerlite case as well, so if anyone wants one (gold coloured) let me know.

Can vouch for the quality on both the Cruzerlite and Spigen cases as well.

I ordered 2 of these cases, one in black and one in red. I can personally attest that the quality of the case is excellent. Keep in mind that these will ship from China so if you use the free or standard shipping you are probably looking at a month+ for delivery. If you get a bunch of people who want one you could probably ship with DHL and get them in a week or so but you would have to pay for shipping.

I also ordered one of these flip style cases which again is excellent quality if you like this style of case. If anyone has any questions feel free to message me.

Just got the 4.4.2 update and the panoramic function is still way under exposed in low light condition...

Did some searching and it doesn't appears to be happening to everyone? Wonder if it's a hardware issue.......

Has any else had an issue with the responsiveness of the touch screen on their Nexus 5? I just got a sim card put in today and have finally got around to playing with it for a bit but the touch screen response is terrible. When I'm texting, etc sometimes it doesn't register the press and I have to type it a couple times. Getting pretty annoying already, not too impressed.

This does not happen to me, in fact I would say that mine is too sensitive sometimes. I'd see about getting a replacement if I were you.

Newer versions (serial starting with 311) have a slight adjustment with bigger speaker holes and buttons.

Seeing some of the outcry that people didn't get replacement phones is kind of silly.

Bow the hell do you copy and paste? For example, I want to copy a URL and paste it into an email

Also, can you not share a contact by SMS?
