The official Rearth USA eBay store has slashed prices of selected Ringke cases for nexus 5 and iPhone 5. \
Standard international shipping to Australia is AU$ 4.49 (US$ 3.99)
Nexus 5:
iPhone 5
Has anyone had any experience with these?
I've got the official Google case for my N5 and it adds quite a lot of bulk to the phone.
If you are looking for something less bulky than the official case then I guess you are only left with the hard shell Ringke Slim, which IMO doesn't provide as much protection against drops as a TPU/Rubber bumper case.
+1 for the deal, but a quick read of reviews for the delight on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/DELIGHT%C2%AE-Ultimate-Protector-Saffi…) (for the nexus 5) turned me off.
Basically, it's a really nice cover and nicely holds a couple of cards etc BUT you can't use the flash when taking photos and it's a pain to get the phone back out of the case, which you need to do for flash photos or changing SIMs (the latter I do each month with my stash of telstra starter kits).
HTH
I can undrstand about the flash, but Does that mean you leave the back cover off as well
I have a case similar to the Delight, but not that one directly. No problem with the flash on mine. Comes in and out of the case regularly.

Haven't looked into Delight series, because I'm not a fan of bulky wallet type cases, but their Fusion and Slim cases have pretty good reviews. When I was shopping for a case for myself, Ringke Fusion was in my short list, but I ended up getting the SGP Neo Hybrid instead, because its slimmer and I like the design better.
Mate I bought the Delight from eBay when they had an 65% off sale about 2 months ago. I can tell you that the flash works absolutely fine. I purchased the black/brown one.
The only truth is that it requires a bit of work to get the phone out, but for me I dont take my phone out of the cover anyway. You will definitely need to remove the phone from the case if you want to change SIMs. Again, for me not an issue as I only have one SIM. However the cover is of a quality construction (and you can tell it straight away if you've ever bought a $4 flip cover from eBay and compare), its slimmer than most flip covers that I've used, and it looks like its a quality product and not some cheap and nasty piece of work. At this price, its a steal.
At this price its a steal.
I have the Rinke slim on my Nexus 4 and its fantastic, I'd suggest the Nexus 5 version would be just as good.
I have a Ringke Fusion on my Nex5. Best case I have had on a mobile phone, ever. Great protection for the phone, light and slim. Maintains all the good features of the phone and works great with my sticky phone holder thing in the car.
I showed it to a mate at a dinner party last week and he ordered a similar one for his iPhone the next day. Highly recommended.
Mint and white colour seems to be more expensive $10.
If you want to buy local and a good slim one fro $12 delivered from Sydney:

I bought it last week and its good quality. Comes with a screen protector as well. Will recommend.
Ringke Slim for Nexus 5 is a decent enough case, however Ringke are notoriously slow at shipping. Paid for expedited shipping and didn't receive it for a month.
Also, in case anyone cares, CBA PayTag doesn't work if you place it on the inside of the case.
Did the exact same thing with my Nexus 5, brought a Ringke Fusion within minutes of purchasing my Nexus 5 because I had a Ringke Fusion on my Nexus 4 which was great, it's a top case on both devices but shipping was just way too slow.
I ended up cracking the screen then about a week after that I received the case lol.
I dont see how the case would have prevented the screen from cracking.
Shock absorption obviously.
Friend bought the Ringke Delight case - it's rubbish. Avoid.
Care to elaborate on why you think it's rubbish? Other people in the thread and reviews have said it was really good…
I found the folding cover to be quite flimsy. It didn't sit on the phone nicely. It didn't feel well made at all. It also looked susceptible to fraying rather easily, too. I like their products, just not the Delight.
Any good iPad Air cases?
If anyone is still looking, the fusion is still on sale for the nexus 5. The gray version is also the same price, though the mint and all clear varieties are around $14 plus shipping still.
Bought the Rinke Fusion case for my N5 for $12 (excluding shipping), $8.91 is a bargain.
Thinking about getting the Delight now.
