Any recommendations for a good case for the Nexus 5?

I've used this case for a OnePlus One and now my Nexus 6. Thin, flexible, but absorbs impact. I've had my Nexus 6 for 18 months and have dropped it various times. No issues yet.

I have a 5x, and just go caseless.  It's a shockingly strong phone.

My baby likes to chew on it, and she has some sharp little teeth.  No scratches yet.

If you aren't prone to dropping your phone all the time, consider it.  :)

(If you don't like the concept, that's okay--I used a case on my phones for the vast majority of the last.. 15 years or so, so I get it.)
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
