up until 6 months ago I was a semi average smartphone user when it came to cases. I had pretty thick, probably overkill, cases on my phone. I started with Otterbox defender cases and after being very disappointed with the quality, I began using a Sedio convert case which I cant say enough good things about. however about 6 months ago I was cleaning the outer rubber layer of the Sedio and carried it with just the slim inner layer and after only a few hours fell in love with the new thinner feel. I did a bit of research and after hearing many good things I settled on a cruzerlite case. I now have 3 cruzerlite tpu cases for my 2 phones.
my first cruzerlite case was the any splat case for my galaxy s3 and I love how it looks and feels nice big (but not excessive) cut outs for the buttons and micro USB port. the phone has suffered a few bumps during my time with this case and has always come away unphased. I've tried using the phone naked as well but I actually refer it with the case as the hyper glaze coating on it makes the phone feel to slick.
so when I decided to buy the nexus 5 i searched for cases and again found myself back at cruzerlite. my first case for the nexus was the black bugdroid circuit case. my only complaint about this case is the button cutouts on each side seemed a tad small making it hard to press buttons. I eventually used a exacto knife to open up the button holes about 1 mm all the way around. this completely changed the case and made it perfect.

after a month or 2 with the bugdroid case I decides to try to blue androidified a2 case. when I ordered the case I figured it would have the same button cutout issue as the other case, but upon recieving it and trying it on I found the button cutouts on the a2 case seem to be cut to a nicer size. I've been using this case for about a month now and I think its my favorite so far. I love the molded grip style ridges on both side edges. and I'm very glad I got it in blue. it looks great and adds some nice color and style to the phone. when I first looked at the case I was a bit concerned about how much protection it would provide, but this drop test video from zedomax solidified my faith in this brand. check it out. this video could be a cruzerlite commercial.
so on top of all that I've had awesome customer service everytime I've dealt with them and when I recieved the blue a2 case I even got a $5 gift card with it as well. I'm planning on using this to buy a print style case offered by cruzerlite to try out. hope you enjoyed. have a good day.
