Good slim case
I bought Ringke SLIM case black for my nexus5x. It's slim and build quality is fine, doesn't feel cheap. It covers very well all the sides and fits perfectly. It's slim and thin, doesn't add much. The free screen protector is good. I actually like it. It's very clear and smooth. It's a film so very thin. (I don't like glass protectors cuz of thickness.) I may try other cases and screen protectors later but I'll use these for now. Recommended.

The plastic has a nice, smooth texture
The plastic has a nice, smooth texture; it reminds me of the Nexus 5's smooth-touch coating. It really is a very slim case that fits the phone perfectly (see below for some unintended side-effects, though). The port cutouts are comfortably larger than the ports themselves, so you won't have any trouble plugging in your headphones or USB cable. The cutouts for the power button and volume rocker are deep and make it really easy to differentiate between the two.The case itself is pretty sturdy for how thin it is. I've already dropped my phone once and I'm glad I had the case on it 😌.The strap attachment slot is really shallow. I don't have anything to try out with it, but it seems like you would need to use a very thin string.I said earlier that the case is extremely slim; this may not be a good thing depending on how you want to use it. I have a magnetic phone mount in my car, which requires that a thin metal backing plate be installed in your phone so it has something to stick to. In my old phone, the metal plate fit inside the battery cover (it's a really thin piece of metal). Since the 5X doesn't have a removable battery, I bought this case so I could put the metal plate inside it. Unfortunately, the case fits the phone so well that there's no space for the plate! Not really a con since most people want a case to protect their phone without adding bulk and this case specifically advertises itself as "**Essential Ultra Thin**".Overall, it's a 5-star case for the price. Just watch out anyone who wants to use this case with a magnetic phone mount.

Great Case, Minimal Bulkiness!
This is not my first time buying a Ringke SLIM case- I hade one for my first generation Moto G as well, and that works just as well. Some people will say that the black one gets oily with use, and that's true, but it's removed very easily with some alcohol. Besides, you should be cleaning your phone with alcohol every so often to kill bacteria anyway.It does not cover any of the ports and even comes with a good screen protector. I've seen some screen protectors that are more easily applied, with removable stickers and all, but it's still not a bad deal. Sometimes it's available for even less than $10, more like $5 with coupon codes but I couldn't do without the case so I got it early.Long story short, it works as advertised. I think this is the best case to get as it covers the phone well and adds very little bulk to the phone.

It didn't hold up to use
I am happy it did not add much weight, was streamline and protected my phone well. I was even able to fit a magnetic car mount piece between the case and the phone.Addendum: After having the case for a bit of time I found it just didn't hold up to wear and tear. The first thing to break was the plastic between the on/off button and volume buttons. After that the corners started breaking and there is a crack on the back. The broken edges always snag on my pockets. I rarely drop my phone so this seems excessive wear for such a short time. I'm looking for a new case. Would not recommend this one.

Good for wear and tear protection
Now depending on what you're looking for this can be a 5 star or a 2 star product. The fit is good. The openings are where they need to be. The screen protector that came with the case has the hole at the proximity sensor which is a plus considering plenty of the ones currently on the market were lacking that.The thing is this will only protect it from scratches. I don't like that there are slits in the corners and no place to absorb impacts. if it falls flat on the screen from standing height, I guaranty that it'll pop out of the case. So if you decide that you're ok with minimal shock protection but just want something that will protect the phone from daily wear and tear, this is for you.I, on the other hand, will be using this till I find a better protecting case like the Spigen I have on my Nexus 5.

Can't ask for more.
As a perfectionist, I have always deplored screen protectors. They're impossible to get on smoothly and to re-position if you get them wrong. So when I found out that people are starting to release Nexus 5X Screen Protector, PLESON® LG (Google) Nexus 5X Tempered Glass Screen Protector [2015], 99% Clarity, 0.2mm, 9H Hardness, Bubble Free, Glass Screen Protector for Nexus 5X - Lifetime Warranty , I was immediately onboard. They NEVER have bubbles underneath them. The problem is that, if you want such a screen protector, you HAVE to have a case that protects on all sides. A case that doesn't cover top and bottom will leave the sheet of glass exposed to whatever's in your pocket--say, your keys--and, therefore, to whatever chipping, cracking and general damages those items can inflict.Which is all a long-winded way of saying that this is the perfect case for my needs.It's slim--even thinner than the Nexus 5X Case, Spigen [Thin Fit] Exact-Fit [Black] Premium Matte Finish Hard Case for Nexus 5X (2015) - Black (SGP11756) I purchased originally. It covers all sides and angles. Its finish collects fewer fingerprints. It does have a downside: if you zoom in on the photo you can see the little cracks in the corners where the sides can bend away from each other, allowing the phone to enter and exit the case. These cracks can snag on things if you're not careful. Plus, I haven't actually dropped the phone yet and cannot vouch for the case's performance in such an event. But so far, it's perfect.

Super Case für das Nexus 5X in schwarz matt
Nachdem ich neben dem Ledercase und dem durchsichtigen noch ein schwarzes wollte, entschied ich mich für das Ringke Slim Case in "smoke". Das Case ist sehr dünn, die Rückseite "gummiert" und fühlt sich dadurch sehr gut an und liegt auch gut in der Hand. Es gibt keine störenden Ecken oder scharfe Kanten. Vermutlich das beste "dünne" Case, das es momentan für das Nexus 5X gibt.Update nach 5 Monaten:Inzwischen ist der dünne Steg zwischen Lautstärke und Einschaltknopf gebrochen.Schade, denn das Case ist sonst wirklich perfekt...

Zero stars?
Thought this was a perfect case, tuns out that is not true. The case broke right on the seam line in between the volume and power buttons. An obvious manufacturing defect as some others have the same problem. Contacted them but because I am passed 90 days they only offered me a 15% discount on another item (that again will only be covered for 90days?)No thanks, avoid this product. They know of a defect and are selling it anyway, that is not only not cool but may be illegal, I am looking into that.So yes it did last a few months but not even a year. To offer anything less than replacement is shady at best and I will be adding this company to the do not buy from list for myself.

Perfect Fit and Feel
I really hate cases that are bulky. I don't see the appeal to double the size of your phone for no good reason. I ordered the Ringke slim case after deciding it was probably the best minimalist case for the Nexus 5X. The case fits perfectly, it is easy to put on, the buttons and ports are all accessible, and there are no sharp edges as some reviews say there are. Also the feel is great. It is smooth, get it isn't slick in any way. The ONLY downside is that is shows fingerprints easily on the back, but a quick wipe gets rid of them.I have no desire to use another case, as this one is perfect for my needs.

Perfekt!
Ich habe mir die Hülle in Royal Gold gekauft und ich bin wirklich begeistert. Sieht super gut aus und sitzt auch super gut. Habe auch nicht das Gefühl, dass das Handy mit Hülle leichter aus der Hand rutscht. Den Härtetest hat die Hülle inkl. Handy auch schon überstanden. Es ist mir leider aus der Hand gerutscht und direkt auf die Unterkante gefallen. Die Hülle war eingerissen und vermackt. Das Handy ist jedoch in einem einwandfreien Zustand - Dank der Hülle. Aus diesem Grund ist hab ich mittlerweile auch schon die zweite Hülle. Ich kann Sie nur weiterempfehlen - hält was es verspricht und sieht zudem auch super gut aus.

great button access
Update: March 2016The hard plastic case showed it weakness by cracking at the power/volume cutout. Replaced with a Diztronic Ultra for something more durable.All cutouts are precise, great button access, and a nice matte finish that does a good job of fending off fingerprints. Easily cleanable with a small amount of rubbing alcohol and/or water. Has not faded or shown much wear (purchased Nov2015). The fit is tight, a small amount of dust will collect on the edges where the case meets the screen overtime(nothing new here). Keep in mind the protection this offers is not substantial, but there is enough of a lip to protect both the camera lens and screen when facing down. If you're looking for a thin profile case this will serve you well.
