/\ exactly what he just said. Couldn't have said it better myself.

I'm going to wait to get a glass one until there are some reviews of both of them up here comparing the two.

I love the pet ones because they are so thin, and I baby my devices so scratch resistance on then isn't a huge deal to me. I'm more concerned on how the glass ones fit, and if they have black edges over the front of the phone that isn't actually screen. If that makes sense.

Also, if the glass protectors are resistant to finger prints and smudging, or if they are the same as the regular pet protectors.

Does anyone know if the slim armor is too thick for wireless charging? I'd like to pick up a qi charger, but I already ordered the slim armor so I don't want to waste money if it won't work.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] chillaxnphilx:
It is more of a semi gloss/matte. The best way I can explain it is its not glossy to where u can see ur reflection because it is matte texture. However it is glossy enough to where u can see fingerprints but easily wipe them off. I hope this helps.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DanP47:
Ordered a gold Neo Hybrid, looks really good. I just hope it doesn't add too much thickness to the device. Also I hope it protects against drops as well as a TPU case would. I've dropped my current phone countless times, but it is still in pristine condition thanks to the case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crimson12:
How's the backing on the neo hybrid? Is it slippery or slightly grippy?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lJesseCusterl:
Shouldn't be an issue. My buddy had an Otter Defender on his Lumia 900 and it had zero issues with wireless charging.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zephiK:
Only thing I'm concerned about the Neo hybrid is the fact that the outer piece may crack. ITs been said that they have a revision that ifxed it but still concerned nevertheless, especially when I don't see anything about a case warranty for Spigen.

i just got slim armor infinity white and i love it, the phone looks and feels complete, the perfect fit for my hands. Very happy with this case and phone :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] abdel12345:
I asked for the slim armor warranty and theyre sending me a new tpu but my issue is the hard case part that is loose:(

That responded quick but they aren't solving the issue right. What should I do because it's already shipped. Should o wait till I get it and tell them that's not what I needed and ask if I can send it back for the hard piece or should I just not bother. I ordered a different case a week ago and it should be here this week from eBay. If it's not good then I guess I'll try to get the slim armor issue corrected

I have an Ultra Hybrid and a Champagne Gold Neo Hybrid. Both are nice but have their faults.

The Ultra Hybrid would be excellent if they didn't design the back the way they did. The clear plastic makes it look very cheap on a black Nexus 5 (still looks great on a white one though from what I've seen).

The Neo Hybrid is good too but jesus it adds a LOT of bulk on the phone. Definitely alot more than I anticipated and it definitely feels wider and harder to hold in the hand than my Ultra Hybrid, although it does look quite nice.

I really want to go caseless on this phone but from the stories I've seen, this screen is ridiculously fragile.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] MetaBolic0:
I noted that in my Ultra Hybrid in the USB part exist a space between the phone and the case that always accumulate dust. This happens with anyone else? :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Beauenheim:
Yes.

And on top of this, I have a lot of very noticeable scratches on my Ultra Hybrid. Not very scratch resistant. Also the screen protector bundled with it it is really nice, but when it's scratched, it's very very noticeable.

Not sure how it all happened, I pretty much baby the device.

And yes I took off the protective film on both sides.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] MetaBolic0:
Do you have remove the covers from the case? Both sides of the case have a pelicule of protection that you need remove. Mine was full of scratches
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Beauenheim:
I did remove them both, it was scratch free at first, but now it's accumulated quite a few, haven't dropped it or left it in my pocket with keys or anything.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] refinition:
Define lumpy?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] matsalm:
Reading it again lumpy probably wasnt the right choice of wording.

It simply makes to the phone seem way bigger than in actually is. Think I'll be looking for a slimmer case
[Nexus 5 Accessories] paradoxiumwind:
I got my GLAStr screen yesterday, and black neo-hybrid. I managed to install the screen perfectly with the 'hinge' method, no bubbles or lint underneath (THANK YOU ANDROID GODS), but I'm a bit disappointed with the case.

Does anyone else feel that the buttons with the neo hybrid are too 'squishy' and hard to press? I watched some video reviews and they said they were definitely easily 'clickable' and you could feel the feedback, but I have to press them quite hard for the buttons to press.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] MetaBolic0:
Well i use mine about 2 weaks now and i dont have any scratch and besides the dust accumulate i have no problem. Maybe you have the phone with coins or keychain in the pocket?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EarlZ:
Does the neo hybrid come with the SGP Ultra crystal? nothing is written on the website..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] IcOpRo:

Mine didnt come with any and there is a square plastic mark on the top part, where did you guys email for a replacement? I emailed them on the support link on the website and no response until now..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] abdel12345:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] paradoxiumwind:
My main issue is with the power button - it's very hard to press and requires 'significant' pressure, to the point where it's annoying - and I don't get the satisfying 'click' as I do with the volume buttons. Is this an issue with the case, or does everyone with this case have this?

I contacted them on eBay about it and they told me:

But I thought I remember reading somewhere that people had this issue and they made a new version to fix it or something and shipped people replacements? Or was that a different case? I can't find where I read it, and 80 pages is a lot to go through.

Also, what GLAS screen is best for the SPIGEN cases? I have the GLAS.tr (rounded edges), and it looks like I should have gotten the one with the flat edges so it would fit more 'flush' with the case, as opposed to having a cornered-recess around the edge, anyone tried both and have an opinion?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Johnston212:
So, I'm planning on getting an N5 either later this week or next week. I'm probably going to go with the 32gb Black version. I am stuck between the Ultra Hybrid and the Neo Hybrid cases. I like the classy look of the Neo, but I like the fact that the Ultra still shows off the Nexus on the back.

Obviously protection is a big issue as well, but I haven't been able to find much in the way of drop tests for either case. I know that LG was supposed to be working on improving the durability of the screen, but I still plan on getting the base spigen screen protector.

Can anyone give me any advice/input? I will be upgrading from an S3 with a Hyperion extended battery.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tysj:
If you are planning to be always using a case, the glas.t should be fine as there won't be much rubbing against the edges of the protector. I got the glas.tr just for the rounded edges since I use a Neo Hybrid or Ultra Fit about 50% of the time and didn't want the edges to chip when I went caseless. With the Neo Hybrid and the glas.tr, I can hardly tell there is a protector at all since the fit between the two is very close and I'd imagine it would be the same for any of Spigen's other cases. Unless you are using a different case with a lip that may push up the protector (where that 0.08mm difference in thickness between the .t and .tr matters), I'd just pony up the extra $3 for the rounded edges.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ehcool:
Anyone done a drop test with the Ultra hybrid yet or had the experience of dropping it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] biscuitownz:
I also have the neo hybrid and the power button doesn't give a satisfying click when the button is pushed up slightly. It also requires a bit more pressure if it's more towards the ends of the button. It feels as if you get the most feedback if it's pressed near the center of the button.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] moomingstarz:
I have both the old and the new version, granted my old version wasn't super sensitive like toher peoples, but it was still quite sensitive. Use the case for a few days, it'll get better. With the old on, whenever the volume rocker or power button leaned on something lightly, it'd go off. The new version prevents that from happening. Here are pictures of the differences

The new one is on the bottom, you can see that the volume rocker is attached on both sides whereas the old one was only attached on the top. This is the same for the power button.

Personally, after using both I do really prefer the newer one. After a bit of use, the silicon does loosen up and is easier to press
[Nexus 5 Accessories] paradoxiumwind:
Hm. I don't want to take mine apart again for fear of loosening the case too much from taking it on/off all the time, but I'm pretty sure based on those images I have the newer one. I might consider filing down the rubber on the power button contact a tiny bit so it's not putting as much pressure on it by default.

I already have the .tr, but I don't like the visible gap with the slim armour, so I guess I'll get the ,t and use that
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tietherope:
I'll admit I haven't read every page, but have they redesigned the Neo Hybrid at all? I bought one when they first came out and it is much thicker/bulkier than the Neo Hybrid for my Galaxy S4, S3, and even S2 was.

PM me if interested.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
would you say it doesn't scratch the phone? I had the slim one and two corners are scratch, but I'm getting a replacement due to the light bleeds and orange spot on the screen. I would like to keep the new one in better conditions. Honestly, besides those two corners, my nexus 5 is mint. :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Cyadd:
I received the updated Ultra Hybrid. Closed the gap on the bottom, still a small one up top near the headphone jack. Buttons feel nicer too, or it might be a placebo.

I apparently can't post images. Sorry all.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] imablackhat:
Is there an updated version? I was unaware. I'd like to know so I can contact amazon and get my replacement.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sensamic:
There's no updated version.

Stop the bul*****.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Cyadd:
I don't know what to tell you. Before, there was a large gap at the bottom of the phone, near the USB port, that let dust get in between the case and phone. Now, with the one they sent, there is plastic that covers that gap.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] imablackhat:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] ptesmoke:
has anyone recently ordered a slim armor? I finally recieved my slim armor infinity white, and ill be damned the buttons are horrendous. no feedback at all...totally bummed. i have a neo hybrid and the buttons are fantastic so this was a huge let down :(

theyre sending me a replacement TPU...hopefully thats the issue..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] iKlutz:
I've had the slim armor for about a month and it looks sweet, no problems there. It's extremely durable too, I'm very pleased.

My only problem is that the white is starting to go an off white colour due to greasy hands but that can't be helped. I'm debating cleaning it but not sure how I should do it.

Another thing to note is that it's started picking up some minor hairline scratches, but they're hard to notice unless I'm scrutinizing it in the reflection of light.

I'll take some picks later with my s4 mini and post them here.

At the poster above, I don't know if you've fitted the case wrong but I've had absolutely no issues with the buttons. Maybe I'll make a short video to demonstrate.

Here's some pictures. I tried to demonstrate all the different angles, and in a few of the pics you can see how I put it on the phone (power button side in first). In the last photos you can just about see the hairline scratch I mentioned, your can also see that this is a month old. Sorry about the colour quality, this is a Samsung.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] TJKV:
I've got the white slim armour too. I have multiple minute sratches that have gathered dust. I've been placing it on uneven surfaces etc so I'm not surprised. In fact I'm happy with the case and the colour, it doesn't get as dirty as I have expected. Any dirt easily wiped off...as long as it doesn't get inside the scratches :p

And yes buttons are good too. Initially the power button had almost no tactile feedback when pressed, volume keys were good though. Now after about two weeks the power button has improved slightly, I can feel it when the button is actuated.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ej8989:
Just got the neo-hybrid silver. Perfect! I don't know why people complain about the wobbly buttons. They're clicky and has a better feel imo. The back is a bit more slippery than N5's bare but i don't think it'll slip in my hand. The N5 is big enough so even when I hold them vertically or even upside down without any additional pressure, they won't slip.

I currently have this pouch, which fits nice and tight. Now I ordered a spigen ultra hybrid case, but I think I'd still want to keep it in a pouch as well, do you know of any pouches that phone would fit in with the ultra hybrid attached? Because I seriously doubt it would fit into mine.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Johnston212:
Actually there is an updated version. The early Ultra Hybrid models had a slight design flaw with the buttons. They would frequently get stuck and constantly press down on the buttons.

I think there might have been some complaints about certain cutouts being too small.

Thankfully, Spigen listened and fixed the design.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimburke57:
I bought the Ultra Hybrid the day the phone was released, the "first" version. I then had it replaced a week ago. Both cases are exactly the same. There were no issues with buttons on either one. But they both have a gap. The only case that I have heard with button issues, was the original slim armor.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] abdel12345:
Yeah I have the slim armor. Both versions have button issues. The first one was too easy to press and the slightest touch could cause the screen to go off or accidentally reboot. The second one is a little too difficult to press. you lose the feel of the buttons. Something in between would have been perfect. But it's alright at least they replaced them right away. I got a replacement 3 days after reporting any issue with it.

I'm just curious how people are getting around the headphone/earbud jack problem?

how do you know which earbud will work?

also another question.

how do you remove the case?!?@?!@?!

I removed it once to change screen protector, but it gave me a nice scared.

It literally almost took off the back cover of my Nexus 5.

I guess I took it off the wrong way
[Nexus 5 Accessories] abdel12345:
How is the screen protector that came with the cases? I have one but not sure if I should use it. I already have a cheap eforcity one on but one of my cases pushes it off. Is the spigen one better than the cheap eBay ones? Just thought I'd ask here since most people who bought the case might've tried it

neohybrid was the worst case i've bought to date. can't fit my standard usb chargers in that thing. and it added bulk to the phone that made it feel abnormal. wish i opted for a refund. i threw it in the trash instead for being so disappointed. i had my neohybrid before i got my N5, and i ordered my N5 on day 1.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lightsout:
Just got the ultra hybrid and there is a small gap just above the usb port. Like the shape of the case is not perfect right there. Frustrating, tempted to send it back but sounds like a hassle. Got it from amazon.

Is this normal or should I return it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimburke57:
Yeah that's normal.

I'm not seeing the same thing. But for sure there's a gap on the headphone jack hole though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lightsout:
Thanks guys. Let me clarify. I am seeing a small gap around the screen. If you were looking at the phone from the top while its sitting on the table.

But I'm probably just going to get over it. Not such a big deal.

Bought the spigen ultra fit back in November. Took the case off my phone for the first time since then and noticed all 4 corners of my phone scratched. How lame is that????
[Nexus 5 Accessories] daewond3r:
For those who are curious about headphone jack fitment with the Neo Hybrid, I have the following and they fit fine:

Klipsch S4A (II)

JVC Victor HA-S500-Z (Japanese model)

Griffin auxiliary cable (for car stereo)

Also, I have a couple of Monoprice USB cable that I trimmed down with a utility knife so they'd fit in the case. OEM charging cable works fine and I believe the premium Monoprice cables should as well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ctscloud:
Yup happened to me too. That's why I switched to the ultra hybrid
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BTT8:
Did you continue to wear the ultra fit until the ultra hybrid came in? I don't want to put the case back on but if I don't, I'll be running the phone naked until I get a new case (which I'm still undecided between the diztronic voyeur case or the SUPcase).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ctscloud:
In my situation, I was waiting on a customer support from Spigen until I actually ordered the ultra hybrid. I originally bought that case because it could fit any headphone jack (with some modifications) but to do so, I had to take the case out twice to get the sanding correct. Once I finished I found my phones corners messed up..

If you continue to use it without removing it, you should be fine. I did this and it was fine. There's a trick to putting on and removing these cases - there's a thread on this forum and on YouTube as well.

Anyone use the ultra hybrid and slim armor? I have slim armor but it's a bit bulky because I don't need all the protection. I'd like something that keeps it light and doesn't take away the the feel and shape of phone. Is the hybrid good for this and how much thinner is it than slim armor? Is there a better alternative? Like is ringke fusion or supcase better or all are very similar? Thanks

I am also wondering if they made a second a version of it without the gap behind the USB port. Cyadd messaged me that they fixed it and he received a case without the gap after complaining and returning the old one. Dust and lint gets inside so easily. There are also some pictures of that in amazon.com. I contacted spigen regarding the issue and waiting for a reply.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] jRi0T68:
The depth and diameter of the headphone opening, IIRC from even I measured it, are 7mm diameter, 5 mm deep.

The neck above the plug itself on the headphone cable needs to be less than 7mm wide, and more than 5 mm long before it steps out to a wider diameter like my Shure SE215 (with mic cable).

I'm fairly confident that the UE900 cable also fits fine.

Stock Bowers & Wilkins P5 cables will also fit. You either need measurements of the plug, or trial and error, though visual guessing can be close. If it's more than double the width of the plug itself, it may not fit. If it's less, it should.
