Top 5 Nexus 5 Cases for December ’13

Today we’re looking at some of the best cases for the Google Nexus 5, as of December 2013. Let’s get right into the accessory picks!

1. Leather Style Wallet Stand Case for Google Nexus 5

Our first case is this folio, wallet-style case. The case is quite a functional, practical choice – there is a built-in stand which makes watching videos, reading books and playing games. You’ll also find a couple of pockets for credit cards or cash, kept safe by the magnetic snap closure. The design of this case isn’t revolutionary, but the many colour options and excellent execution make this case a good shout.

2. ToughGuard Shell for Google Nexus 5 – Red

Our next case is this minimal ToughGuard shell. The case, made from a high quality polycarbonate, adds barely any bulk to the phone, and is ideal for anyone that wants to get that base level of protection – whether from scratches or impacts – without fettering their Nexus 5 with a bulky case. The burgundy colour of this case is also a nice choice, and goes well with both the black and white varieties of the phone.

3. Armourdillo Hybrid Protective Case for Google Nexus 5 – Black

Our next case is another protective and functional item, with a hybrid design that provides good scratch resistance and excellent drop protection. The case, like the Leather Style Wallet, comes in multiple colours that can help you put your own stamp on your Nexus 5. The Armourdillo also includes a built-in kickstand. The only downside to this case? It’s fairly bulky, so be sure you need the protection before you purchase it.

4. Spigen Ultra Fit Case for Google Nexus 5 – Smooth White

This is one of my favourite Nexus 5 cases, with a svelte and gorgeous design. The case offers good protection thanks to its polycarbonate construction and convincing coverage, without adding sufficient bulk as to be annoying. The case even comes with a soft feel matte surface that adds grip, just like the phone underneath. A nice choice for the style-conscious with a taste for the futuristic.

5. Cruzerlite Androidified A2 TPU Case for Google Nexus 5 – Green

We end with the Cruzerlite Androidified, a must-have case for Android enthusiasts. The case is adorned with the robotic Android mascot at a jaunty angle, with the Nexus logo visible through the translucent material. The case covers the edges and corners of the phone to prevent impact-damage from almost any angle, while leaving the camera, buttons and ports freely accessible.
