When it comes to Nexus devices, ya don't need numbers, graphs or benchmarks to tell you how smooth it is. It's the experience that's important brows.gif  brows.gif

What a big e-pen** rolleyes.gif All I wanted to convey is that the Nexus 5 is super smooth and you know it because of the user experience with it and not because of what Mr Benchmark A, Numbers B or graph C are telling you. Numbers mean nothing.

Don't know why you are being so defensive though.

Indeed super smooth as compared to WHAT?
Thats where the Benchmarks plays their role.

Custom kernel + unlocked CPU overclocker

Some prep the phone in freezer first before doing benchmarks (seen this in XDA forums lol)

Not required
I know when I did the benchmark the temperature was at 92deg.

Wow, 92 degrees? That's so hot man!
You didn't run into any thermal throttling?

I was quite surprised too but I guess the Custom Kernel did a great job handling the test without throttling

Guys, if you're looking for screen protectors/casings from xtreme guard, head to their website and use "90off2" code to get 90%.

Great find.
Will order when I am in the states next week so they ship to me free.
I noticed you need to order 2 to get this offer

Just received my generic TPU case from Ebay. It only cost me USD1 inclusive of free shipping from China.

Was only expecting it to arrive somewhere mid January because usually my orders from China take about 1 month or so. Quite surprised that I received it today because the item was shipped out on the 18th of December 2013 and it only took 2 weeks. Great job rclxms.gif

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...d=1020915127005

Above is the listing I got. And surprisingly, it's USD6.99 now ----> http://www.ebay.com/itm/151176832035?ssPag...984.m1497.l2649

You can probably try to look for something similar.

Opening the package, I was happy to find the seller including a free Screen Protector and a mini stylus! thumbup.gif

Here are some pictures:

The case fits nicely into the phone. While it isn't very tight fitting, it doesn't feel like it would come off the case easily too. As some were complaining about the SGP Ultra/Neo Hybrid and Ringke Fusion being too bulky, I'm happy to say that this TPU case doesn't add that much bulk. I'm happy to say that my Nexus 5 still looks sexy as ever, especially that thin bezel wub.gif

user posted image

The back of the case has a smooth but matte kind of feel, it's more slippery than the back cover of the Nexus 5. The sides are glossy TPU material.

The cut outs for the speaker, microphone, 3.5mm jack are slightly rough which is to be expected for this dirt cheap price. They don't look that bad like in the pictures actually. The volume and power button keys do not have tactile feel to them but they are still easily pressed with a little bit of pressure

This case should be able to provide some protection, especially against minor knocks/dents but do not expect anything major like a drop from 4-6 feet. You would have to invest into a bulkier case with thicker rubber to absorb impact like the Otterbox cases

user posted image

The finish isn't that good to be honest but still it's quite bearable for me at least, you'll only notice it by sight and not by feel. But nevertheless, it still feels good in the hands, just like any other TPU cases in the market (not counting the expensive ones)

In conclusion, I think this is a pretty good purchase, more so with the free Screen Protector and mini stylus laugh.gif You can't beat a TPU case for USD1 that comes with a screen protector and a mini stylus!! thumbup.gif

I don't know if I'm going to use this case or not because I may prefer a flip case. For those who loves TPU cases, please do get this!

p/s: My Ringke Fusion look a like case would be arriving soon, I hope! Will do another review then tongue.gif

Here's the one I'm waiting for next: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171177115078?ssPag...984.m1497.l2649 Only USD3.57!!!

Looking at the condition of your Nexus 5 why do you even bother with a casing

Hi all,

Here's the ROI form for Pressy. Target is 20 pieces, if more than that I will contact seller personally to ask for more discounts. Price undetermined yet, tell me what's your evaluation on this item. I reserve the final right to decide the pricing.

For those who are interested to achieve smoothness better than pennzoil with antutu scores of A+ such as below (for those who care about benchmark - I do)
ROM: Cataclysm
Kernel: ElementalX .22
Settings for FauxClock is attached
For I/O - am trying out ROW, FIOPS or DEADLINE - smoother on ROW
