How is this phone for grip? I have some nerve damage and Nexus 5 is too slippy without a silicone cover.

I would advise you to look elsewhere. This phone us super smooth and slick-by day 2 it fell out of my hand. Id look for a phone cover with silicone and grooves if you suffer from nerve damage.

It's much better than the phone by itself, but not as good as a silicone or TPU case.

It has a nice texture to it. It never sticks in my pocket but I also never feel like it is going to slip out of my hand. I would recommend it based upon fit, finish, and cost.

Tbh I have had those 'about to slip' moments with this case on. Not too good for grip but it looks nice on the phone.

I love the cases but would not give it high marks for grip. It's very smooth.

It's not a nonslip backing and compared to a silicon case this textured case doesn't move around as easily..it feels good in your hand unlike the rubberized cases you will enjoy holding the phone in your hand and you will find that's your fingers will move around the surface.. it just feels good.

I believe cover is rigid enough to adequately protect the Nexus. It has a soft outer skin but a hard inner frame. I like the cover.

Thanks, i wound up pulling the cover over the screws. Damaging it. Screws appeared 2 b sodered down. Wound up getting a Samsung s5. I will work on the nexus n my spare time. I hope the motherboard is not going bad.

Only adds a little extra weight/thickness. If anything, its a reassuring extra thickness, as the nexus can feel a bit fragile without it...this gives you something to grip

I would say yes it provides a less slippery grip on the phone. Be sure your volume button capture is activated for taking selfies.

There is a lip of 1.25mm that raises the Nexus 5 off of a table when it is placed face down/if you drop it on the ground to protect the screen. While I haven't really dropped it from a substantial height (&gt;1ft) it does feel like it will protect your phone well if you drop it.

The clear hybrid case does have some grip to it. It is not slippery but don't expect some awesome anti slide material. I've had this case for a month and has not slipped out of my hands. Keep in mind; this case will protect your phone from scratches and not from drop damages.

Ah the one chink in this Diztronic armor is the fact that the cover is lacking any real grip; the case for my Gnex was better. Dont get me wrong, its much better than the stock plastic backing on the G2, but its no Moto X material. Still...a good deal for $10. Im hoping the Incipio case i also ordered has better grip.Thanks.

I had the neo hybrid for the s4 was perfect but not for the s5. I dont remember if it was slippery. My wife got me the Spigen HD for the s5. I recommend u get that one.

Not slippery at all. Good grip. I've already dropped my phone twice and nothing happened to my phone or the case. I also got one of those glass screen protectors works good with the case, it doesn't get messed up by it.

It does feels like the back of the Nexus 5, rubbery but smooth to the touch

There are not that many arm bands for the Nexus 5. There are also not that many that will allow the phone with the case on it. Aside from the question. My problem with this case is you cannot feel the click of the buttons when you select them. Push significantly hard to actually use the buttons, but dont get the physical feedback.

Thanks for the info. I will also be buying the grip because I have bigger hands and would enjoy the longer battery life.

If the tablet may be dropped frequently I would suggest to look for the heavy-duty silicone covers (I know they come for iPad Mini, not sure for The Nexus) . The Snugg is a great cover in the sense it stays in place and surrounds the tablet almost completely, not like the cheap covers with a little elastic in the corners. The silicone covers I guess are more appropriate for a young kid, they have even big handles for the kid to hold it better. Good luck!

I think its just an issue with the Nexus 7. Google has been doing exchanges, or RMAs for this but the best trick I have found is that when your index finger doesn't work, use your thumb.

its transparent. which is good. feel wise it has little more grip than the actual nexus body. So the feel is not the same as nexus body.
