I have a Nexus 5, probably the absolute hardest phone to buy a case for. I was super excited to see the Nexus 5 field case listed on Magpul's website, but I'm having a difficult time finding where these things are in stock.

Can anyone help me here?

Because there is no consequence for failed delivery and nobody in the business seems to know anything about material procurement, lead times, or R&D schedules.

First post here.

I purchased a couple cases from Magpul, but i was just lucky and they haven't allowed anyone else to order.

But here's some pictures for everyone.

My only issue so far. The sharp edge on case bezel lifts the screen protector.

*UPDATE*

I received my Zagg Case Friendly screen protector. It works perfect with the Magpul case. It's also the HD film and it's really smooth to the touch... Unlike the original Zagg film. I definitely recommend this to anyone buying the Magpul cases when they become available.

Yeah, those were my posts. I've been keeping a lookout for the cases from dealers, but no luck.

I called and chatted with a lady there for a few minutes and she let me order.

So... if anyone is interested, magpul appears to be selling things from their site. I was able to purchase a case yesterday.
