Nexus 5 Otterbox Defender.

This really would have been good to start back in November or December, but I'm sure you can get a lot of votes. I'll vote if I can see some proof of where they've said this. Not that I am calling you a liar; I just have only seen them respond with "no plans at this time."
There isn't any point, Otterbox hates Nexus phone devices. They never ever make any Nexus phone cases, their last one was the Galaxy Nexus.
Why beg a company to make a case for your phone if they don't want to make a phone case for a flagship Google device? Its obvious that they don't take the Nexus brand very serious. If they don't want to make a case, take your business elsewhere to another company.

They may hate them but there IS NO OTHER case with otterbox quality. Acase nor ballistic or any other have sufficed.
If a Otterbox case is that important to you then maybe you should re consider on what phone to get based on what cases Otterbox produces for.
There are actually a good number of cases that can serve as alternatives and they actually make a case for a phone without begging them to do so. At this rate, if you want a Otterbox that much you might as well send Otterbox a resume for their marketing department because thats exactly what they're making you do by offering them to get 10K petitions. The phone has been out over 3 months and they don't have ANY plans to make a case for this phone. It doesn't take many resources to set up a prototype for the Nexus 5. Its more or less molding it to fit the size. I'm not being rough with you but thats just the truth.

I can definitely say that if you're looking for an Otterbox quality case, go with the Trident. An Otterbox is not going to protect more than that and you're probably going to pay more if they end up making one. The Slim Armor is also very good if you don't want to go with too thick of a case. I have both but stick with the Slim Armor as it will protect it from most drops and bumps. And since I'm not engaging in urban warfare or playing baseball with my phone as the ball I don't feel I need to have such a bulky case to protect my phone. So to the OP, believe me, you're better off not petitioning Otterbox and just going with a case that is readily available. For $34.95 through Trident AND you get multiple colors to choose from, you can't beat that. Otterbox will be at least $40-$45 and all you get is black.
Edit: And Otterbox saying they'll consider it doesn't give you a guarantee that they will, even if you get 30,000 signatures. It's all in what it will cost them in development, tooling up to manufacture it, and if there is enough of a demand that it makes it worth it.
None of the cases listed have a belt clip. Can you suggest one with a belt clip and good quality.

If you're looking for one with a beltclip, I would buy the Zerolemon case when it comes back in stock. Even if you don't use the battery pack that comes with it, it's a rugged case with a belt clip. Check out the review on it in this forum a couple threads down and look at the pictures. For $39, it's a great deal.

Belt Clip Case
You could look at the Ballistic Tough Jacket Maxx... Good reviews and a belt clip included.

Have that now. Already had the silicone replaced in 2 weeks. Stretched out beyond the edges of the phone.

Good to know...I believe XDAers more than Amazon reviewers.

Otterbox would be nice, but I don't think its good to beg a company to make a case. If they don't want to, then I don't think they will no matter what they say.

Does anyone know which cases have integrated screen protectors for the Nexus 5? I am using an i-blason case with one right now and its pretty good, and I've also seen Ballistic's case with one with mixed reviews. So if there are any others, would love to hear about them.

Are you kidding me? Ballistic cases are awesome. Trident makes great cases too.
The ballistic case silicone stretched way out. Don't use trident as their c/s is horrendous.
I have owned ballistic cases for multiple devices, and the silicone has never stretched out at all. Maybe you are not attaching the hard poly carbonate shell correctly, and the incorrect fit is stretching it?

I've never had a problem either. I got 2 yrs out of my last one, and probably could have used it indefinitely. I guess some people are just good at abusing their stuff.

I don't plan on contacting Trident's CS dept., as their case is built rock solid and won't have any need to contact them.
Had the exact opposite with my old phone (HTC One S), I had an Otterbox commuter and the silicon part just got stretched out to the point that the phone jiggled around in it and the little covers for the ports/plugs/jacks broke off. Replaced it with the Ballistic SG and it's still a great fit a year and a half later.
Had a similar experience with the silicone on my commuter (galaxy nexus). It stretched to the point where it didn't protect the phone, cracking my screen when it dropped from waist height.
Their silicon was tougher in the sgs3 commuter, but I didn't have a good experience with otter box.
