No your original post came off pretty obnoxious as well. You basically said that my case works so everyone else has too high of expectations.

Peoples phones are turning on and off without any contact with the power button at all. Unless you believe that it is an "unreasonable expectation" to have ones phone only be turned on or off when the button is actually pressed then I think you are wrong. Best story was one persons phone power cycled while in the case with no contact with the power button.

I don't question whether you can read, but I do question whether you DID read. And if you did, I question whether you comprehended the actual problem.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] firemedic1343:
A bold post from a bold man. I agree with some of what you said. I'm sorry if you didn't like the way I said what I did. I just don't like when people are dismissive of others just because they have something that works for them. For example, someone could have the 1/100 odd of getting a case that works. They then assume because of previous experience with the public that the public is being unreasonable. I simply think that having a case that doesn't constantly reset your phone is a reasonable expectation. You seem to want respect, I think we can both agree that Wbroshea's post below is a good example of responding while still being respectful(without calling each other body parts, which I'm very proud of mine btw).

Well said while being respectful.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] malinois16:
Fair enough and that is your opinion.

I quoted my actual post above witch caused the other post. I can't imagine how anyone can read it as obnoxious. I was giving my OPINION on the subject since I am about the only person in this whole freaking thread who actually purchase and have used all 3 of these cases. I thought I was being helpful. Cool story though bro.....but you said it right ONE PERSON"S phone turned off while not even touching it.

Bottom line though is that Spigen is a reputable company. I am sure if you call them they will make it right.

You on the other hand from what I can gather from your post in this thread don't have either of these devices and neither do quite a few other who weighed in on this thread...so I was just trying to lay some weight and fact behind my post having experienced all three products.

BTW do you still need an answer to your original question posted in this thread?

It's good bro. I think we can agree to disagree respectfully. :) What some people might think as a flaw the other thinks it is a feature and maybe even a cool feature at that.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wbroshea:
How about when you said "If they didn't press easily yall would be complaining still?" Seems like you are marginalizing those with real problems.

The rest of your post is fine and helpful. But one bad apple ...

I said power cycled, meaning the case held the power button down on its own for several seconds causing the phone to reboot. Lots of people are talking about the screen turning on and off without touching the power button. Just wanted to clarify. I only know of one instance of power cycling, but many instances of the screen turning on and off unintentionally. Either are unacceptable for a phone case, the power cycling was just an extreme example. I am glad you got one that evidently works but many have not and your post was dismissive of their situation. Thus obnoxious in my opinion.

No, the black slim armor is already shipped and on its way. I was trying to decide whether to buy it or not. But thank you for offering. I just hope mine works as I ordered before everyone began reporting the power button issue.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RayLancer:
Well I was watching a video review earlier and it doesn't seem to be a consistent problem for the Slim Armor.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] malinois16:
I won't worry about the rest of your post that horse is beat enough! LOL :good:

Great. Please post YOUR impression when you have had a chance to try it. I have the Champagne if, not sure if that make a difference or not, but as I said it is my favorite of the three case IMO.

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

That is an excellent video reviews and mirrors my experience with that case. Could not have said it better myself! :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
Thank you. Tempting, I may get it.

Edit: That power button does look like it would be a bit hard to press.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
awesome. i just went through and grabbed one of each case, and a crystal clear protector for a phone i dont even know when itll be released in canada. nice.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] abalosmusic:
Compared to a note 3 size not bad.. also got my screen protectors as well
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thfreedumb:
it looks like the case with the clear back has nubs on the corners so the clear back doesnt touch the surface when you put it down?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Got my Spigen case and free screen protector. The case comes with 2 picture inserts.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
How does the case feel to you? What feedback could you share? (And I value your feedback quite a bit since you seem to buy a lot of cases;))

Edit: And if its not too much trouble, could you please measure the height/length of one of the picture inserts since that would tell us more accurately what the height of the phone is going to be.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Reminds me exactly of the n4 fusion case. But the sides feel a little softer. Very high quality case and the inside and outside of the clear back have a protective plastic. They also used the technique that the second generation fusion cases used to get the buttons to actually give feedback. Here is some pics of the sides.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
Was just about to ask how it compared to Ringke Fusion. The detailed inside picture of the power button is helpful, should not be too hard to press and as you mentioned should also provide some feedback.

Weird, it just said I can't ship it to my destination (Canada)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Yadao:
I have one. Looks just like the Amazon listing. It's very well made. Can't wait to put a phone in it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] beaver2233:
That ultra hybrid case looks awesome...if only the N5 was available :P
[Nexus 5 Accessories] alicepattinson:
Is it like a hard case? Just wondering
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ChazzMatt:
Yep. Canadian carrier Wind's Nexus 5 "pre-registration" page has now been taken down, presumably at the behest of LG/Google, but their "official" marketing materials do confirm the specs (again).

* Interesting the dimensions differ slightly from the FCC measurements of the prototype. Either FCC can't measure properly, or the final version of the Nexus 5 is slightly larger than the prototype submitted. Of course, it's only the internal components the FCC cares about so yes, body dimensions can change.

About 6mm taller and 1mm wider.

As people in this thread have stated, people already receiving cases based on the official render model Google made available to manufacturers are also reporting the phone size is slightly larger than the FCC reported.

* This is also important for again confirming the 32GB storage option, which was mentioned in the LG service manual leak. As that was just a "draft", it's nice to see it in print in official marketing materials.

* Note the "ceramic" power and volume buttons?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] nate735:
Just got my neo hybrid. Its a nice case its really firm and it has nice buttons. It also makes the Nexus 4 look tiny so i hope thins phone isnt to big as i was never of fan of phablets. I guess will see.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thfreedumb:
DowntownJeffBrown, Where did you order your case? You're the first person I've heard that says the case comes with two picture inserts.

I might need to come up with something myself as that's pretty cool.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RayLancer:
Just wanted to point out I don't own either the Neo Hybrid or the Slim Armor for the Nexus 5. But I own 2 Neo Hybrids for the S4s. My opinion is mixed for the S4 variant, until I see the revision case thats coming for one of them that broke. I'm still debating on getting maybe one of the two.

I do however own the Ultra Hybrid, which should be coming in anytime now. Can't wait to put it on my phone, which is currently sitting naked next to its Nexus 4 brother in a Rearth Fusion case.

EDIT: Quick impression before eating dinner. The Ultra Hybrid looks really nice in person. The square-ish shape makes it look very nice. Much better than the Nexus 4 Fusion case. Few things I will note comparing the two. The Ultra Hybrid is only a hair length wider than the Nexus 4 Fusion case. It is longer but thats due to the phone being longer than the Nexus 4. I would guess about 1mm. Thickness wise, the Nexus 4 fusion case and the Ultra Hybrid are the same. I will take some pictures later.

Spigen Neo Hybrid

I took some side-by-side pictures comparing the Nexus 5 without a case and with the Spigen Neo Hybrid (note the black lip in the pics). The Neo Hybrid case does make the phone a lot wider/bulkier, especially if you have smaller hands :crying:.

For my Nexus 4, I had an official bumper with a dbrand skin and it felt great. I think I'm going to look for a slimmer case that covers all the edges unlike the slim fit :rolleyes:.

www.spigen.com/nexus-5-case-ultra-thin-air.html -- I also just came across this one, which doesn't appear to be available yet. Does anyone have any experience with it? I've seen some videos of this case for other phones and part of the edges were exposed, but in this picture it seems to be an all around protection with a clear back? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] smirkis:
im ordering that ultra thin air as soon as it drops. i hate my neo hybrid case. fat/wide/thick/tall/ugly lol. hate holding it. but it'll do until i get my dbrand skin and that ultra thin air case
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nadrojcote:
Apparently if you just use scissors or a razer blade you can trim down the buttons inside so they dont keep pressing. This is one work around, also Spigen has announced that if you bought a slim armor and you have the button issue, contact them and they will send you a replacement part. They claim they have fixed the problem and the new cases will be available around nov 11th.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Visa Declined:
I have the white Slim Armor case and it's awesome. It fits perfectly, has great button feedback, and zero problems. Probably the best case I have ever owned.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Z51:
Just received mine. Like it a lot but it screws with my screen protector. If I press power button the protector bubbles up lol. Other than that its an awesome case. I have the hybrid by the way
[Nexus 5 Accessories] persianrisk:
Thats funny because most people find that it gives them power button issues. You are a VERY llucky one!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crazyalaa:
I just received my my ultra hybrid and this thing is all scratched up and looks used! Anybody had the same problem?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ronakg:
There's a protective plastic film on both side of the clear glass. Just remove it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
Really? Lol i have to look again. I didnt see a film over it. My also look like crap.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] freshlysqueezed:
I guess for extra emphasis, mine came with TWO instructions cards to remove the protective film.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] firemedic1343:
I bought my items from Spigen & shipped from Spigen through Amazon.com

Anyhow they marked it as shipped on the 5th. However, UPS has had the same status since then:

11/05/2013	Shipment information received by UPS Mail Innovations

I don't think they actually shipped it yet. I think they may be waiting for the new batch to come in on the 11th. I sent them an email yesterday and haven't gotten a response.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zephiK:
I hope the Ultra Hybrid case comes on Amazon again for Prime shipping.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crazyalaa:
Haha man, he's right. There is a protective film on the case. Actually on both sides and it took me forever to be able to see it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
Same here. Question. Anybody take the plastic part completely off? Just keep the bumper. Wonder if that would work.

PS. My didn't come with directions. Although my daughter ripped the package apart so she might have taken it. Lol
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RayLancer:
I like the Ultra Slim except for one thing.. the port openings are.... a bit too exposed. See the picture. Are the other Spigen cases like this? The phone is curved and the case is mainly flat so there's an area where dust can get trapped in it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ryanX7:
Ordered the Neo Hybrid champagne gold case. Should be here Tuesday.

I really like how it looks in pictures, and I think it will keep the phone pretty thin and slick.

I've seen a lot of people post how wide and tall it makes the phone. I think I will be fine since I have the google bumper on my Nexus 4 and that made my phone really wide. Took me a long while to get used to it since I used my Galaxy Nexus caseless.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bionic22:
I hope you can answer my question once you get it. I'll just post it now and you can answer Tuesday :laugh:

Question: Does the gold one look as cheesy as I think it does?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spielnicht:
Just received my Neo Hybrid today but it's going back to Amazon, I don't like it. It's OK looks wise, but the it's very uncomfortable to hold and as slippery as without. Plus, I settled for the silver one and it looks like I have an IPhone 4/s on steroids.

I'll settle for the Spigen Slim for the time being until Case-Mate releases a Tough Case for the N5.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AHomelessGuy:
just got my case, its an excellent case...but unfortunately the power button IS REALLY EASY to press ...like before you even get feedback its already pressed :/
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Just received my

And man, if you are looking for a thin case, this is the one you want. Came with a screen protector as well. Looks like it's part of the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
Got my Slim Armor today...got a case of the reboots with it too.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Ronaldo Forenucci:
So many Spiegen threads, forget where I posted this before:

1. LOVE the Slim Armor! I'm coming from a GNex with a Seidio Surface, the Slim Armor blows it away.

2. Some cases DO have a power button issue. The problem is the hard rubber "nub" inside the rubber power button shell...it's too tall on the defective cases. It's fine with just the rubber on, but when you add the hard shell, it presses the power button.

3a. If you got it from Amazon, contact Spiegen through there. Go to the Spiegen page and look at the bottom for a Contact seller button. Make sure you are contacting Spiegen, and not Amazon. Amazon will just say here's a credit, send it back. By the comments on Speigen's page, it *looks* like they will replace bad cases with the problem.

3b. You *CAN* fix it yourself if you just want to get up and running. ***WARNING - IF YOU DAMAGE IT, IT'S ON YOU***

Just get a brand new thin Xacto knife with new blade, and trim about .5mm off the "nub" inside the button. Other owners have used scissors. BE CAREFUL NOT TO NICK THE CASE RIM. It's awkward to do, but can be done - I did it. Now it takes a definitive press to power it on, no accidental presses while in a pocket.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Lownita:
I own the slim armor gold and the ultra hybrid. Both are great build quality and look very nice, but both suffer from a very easy to press power button. The slim armor more than the ultra hybrid. It is exactly as described.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indelible:
my armor has the power button issue too, going to try to trim it today
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Lownita:
So Spigen is about to fix this button issue? Only for slim armor or also for ultra hybrid?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RayLancer:
So does the Slim Armor have the gap in the opening between the phone and case? I like the Ultra Hybrid except for that fact...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ogboot:
I picked up a neo hybrid & ultra fit. In the end I preferred the minimalist design of the ultra fit while the gf felt better with the neo's extra protection
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Thedonk13:
So I love the look of the ultra hybrid, but I hate the feel of the buttons. You can't feel then very well and I don't know how long I press something or if at all.

I ordered a supcase unicorn deal and in going the button feel is better...

At least everything is on sale right now...

Some have reported problems with the buttons but I have not had that at all. They fit very nicely and press down perfectly on my case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RayLancer:
I can't really tell from the picture and no one has really answered my question. Does the port opening have a gap between the case and the phone? I have the Ultra Hybrid, and you can easily see the back of the case through the charging port opening.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Letitride:
USPS finally delivered my Ultra Hybrid Case in black with the free screen protector this morning, originally scheduled for Thurs. 11/7/13 but was changed to Tues 11/12/13. Order mine on 11/1 and was marked as shipped same day according to email received from Amazon.

First impression, this is a very nice case, slim & visually made the case wider & not as tall - my hands are bigger than average so I can hold it with little worries about slipping & dropping the N5 - and risk breaking the lens, etc.

The protector is free & good, except that I ruined it after moving it several times - oh, well, I will order extra when I get another Spigen for her N5, just in time for Thanksgiving.

-

The clear lens for the back of the case is a magnet for fingerprints, once you lift the 2 sheets of protective film - but, the LG Logo really stand out. There is plenty of space for the slim micro-usb cable and for most micro-usb charging/data cable. There is a rather big/wide gap on the bottom of the case near the charger opening - so I can see the lints, dirts or loose food particles, etc. getting trapped there - a periodic cleaning should take care of it.

Holding that in my hand, the 4.5 oz smartphone now has a more substantial feel to it - it is hard to describe and it doesn't feel cheap at all.

The edges, buttons & corners, etc. are just fine with me - not so sharp to cut or hurt when pressed against the skin, either that or I got really tough & rough hands to begin with - whatever.

As it turned out, Spigen's shipment actually didn't get picked up until Mon. 11/4 and was processed the same day, and left CA on Tues 11/5 - and reached the "local" UPS-MI regional facility in NY on Wed, about 300 miles away for drop handling by local postal facilities.

For whatever reasons, it went thru postal sorting and then to a different local postal facility 10 miles away, and was dispatched for delivery on 11/8 - yesterday LOL. It was returned by the carrier route to be forwarded to the postal sorting serving our area the same day. Overnight, it made its way to our local post office 1/2 mile away and was send out for deiivery in the morning - and was in my hands by 11 AM.

UPS-MI continued to be slow, much slower even than shipping by USPS with tracking - perhaps the vendor, Spigen has a bulk volume discount with UPS, which partner with USPS for the actual delivery to the front door.. Thus, patience - Monday is a holdiay for the carrier, earliest will be next Tuesday.

Just be careful with the phone and don't drop it in the interim.

For $10 with free but slow shipping - I highly recommend it, even if using it as a spare. I will most likely slip this in a pouch for more protection, or find an oversized sidway pouch that will fit the LG G2, which has the cloest specs - although it's still going to look "huge" as worn on the dress belt.

I was lucky somehow, I ordered the ultra hybrid with prime shipping.

I would say the case is good for $10, it's nice quality and smooth. I don't like the gaps though, they left the back flat instead of going with any of the curve on the phone.

The free screen protector isn't any good, it doesn't feel smooth at all. I left it on for about a minute and got rid of it. I don't really care since it was free anyways.

If you left it on for a day it would've gotten a whole lot better. Needs a little bit of oil from your fingers.

Im debating between the slim armor and ultra hybrid. I like teh clear back on the hybrid but i feel the slim armor has more protecion. Does the hybrid do a good job of protecting it as well from drops? or should I go with the slim armor? The champaign gold color caught my eye.
