Got my Nexus 5 and White Slim armor on Friday and I thought I had the defective power button case too, but after readjusting about 3x times the power button is pretty nice (not the same tactile feel as pressing the volume rockers but close) ...though the case is somewhat bulky but I feel like I can drop it without worrying about my Nexus breaking
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ketjr81:
I think that case just came out? So no one has gotten that case yet.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Boblank:
I have a slight volume and power button rattle, which seemed even worse with the neo hybrid case. Before I sent the case back i figured I would see if I could do anything to make it better or stop. I ended up cutting a piece of paper about the thickness of a playing card so it would fit in the cutout of of the buttons of the rubber backing (under the outer band). I cut the paper so it took up the whole cut out and fit snugly. then put the the outer band on while making sure the paper cut outs stayed in place. After all put back together i have zero rattle and buttons actually feel quite a bit better imo. Thought i would share if anyone is in the same situation.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] abdel12345:
Undecided to go with the slim armor. Hopefully I get one of the revised versions that work properly. In feel kind of bad covering up the phone since I got the white one but I imagine onceni drop it I'll be very glad I got it lol
[Nexus 5 Accessories] smartedpanda:
I got the Neo Hybrid...not liking it. It looks nice but not really functional. It's bulky, color isn't as vibrant as the pictures, the audio port is too small of a hole, same with the charging port.

I got a Hybrid coming in sometime this week so hopefully that's better.

I ordered the Slim Armor, Neo Hybrid and Ultra Fit and I'm finding that I like the Ultra Fit the most.

Reason as stated by other posters, the headphone jack port is too small and when i'm in the garage and want to plug in the headphone jack from my speakers it doesn't fit properly. Plus the raised lip that protects the screen when it's placed face down traps pocket lint and makes my OCD flare up because I'm unable to clear the lint off because it's stuck up against that lip.

My only gripe about the ultra fit case is it's too smooth. Ideally if it was that rubberized finish like the back of the Nexus it would be IDEAL for me.

I may be returning the Slim Armor and Ultra Fit. Just not happy with it.

Did you buy it from amazon or ebay?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dkotoric:
I have a SGP Neo Hybrid silver case that I just received on friday that I'm willing to sell if anyone is interested. I guess I just don't like any cases as they add bulk so I decided I will go ceaseless with only screen protector.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] NBA Brawler:
I ordered the Slim Armor case and the SPIGEN Google Nexus 5 Screen Protector Glass [GLAS.t SLIM].
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zephiK:
Take a look at the rearth slim case. Adds very minimal bulk and covers the back quite nicely. Or the spigen Ultra fit even though people mentioned it possibly scratches the back
[Nexus 5 Accessories] oediv:
well just get my neo hybrid case :)

at first i thougth wow its big but after some minutes of using i love it :) it protects the nexus 5 really good but i have one question can i order only the frame at any time ?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Mononitoto:
Could someone make a PSD template? I want to buy this case (the transparent one) and start making my design now.

Thanks :good:

Spigen Ultra Hybrid

Hey Guys. In my opinion, the Ultra Hybrid is an excellent case/bumper. Has a perfect snug fit and the soft rubber is comfortable when pressed against the ear. Also, the power and volume rocker buttons are easily accessible and require very little pressure to activate.

Worth the price no doubt.....!

Also, it comes with one Ultra Crystal Steinheil screen protector, which we all know fits and functions great.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] firemedic1343:
They finally say after a week that they have now shipped it.

I hope I get a good one like you did. It seems very hit or miss. I don't think I'll ever order from Spigen again.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Lownita:
Imho buttons require TOO little pressure.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zoglog:
i got the slim fit case. The finish on the top and bottom edges are way too rough and should have been coated with softtouch :(

I Made a Template for the Ultra Hybrid and here are some of the results(Will post template later)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hutzdani:
Pretty unimpressed with my Hybrid Ultra case, its pretty bulky and edgy, and the clear plastic back scuffed up easy and the case is so tight it triggers buttons either side of the phone when you press volume / power.

Swapping out for a hard case with exposed buttons.

http://www.play.com/stores/ONX3/listing/886670373 - this is cheap and i had a similar one on my S2, if that fails back to the tried and tested s-line cases
[Nexus 5 Accessories] luckylui:
What a steal! :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] firemedic1343:
It definitely feels like theft. I ordered a week ago and they marked it as shipped 6 days ago. UPS still hasn't actually received the packages.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] luckylui:
Damn! That's not right man. Sorry to hear.. I know how frustrating it is playing the waiting game. Hopefully they get their **** together man. I will be raising hell if it happens to me!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lJesseCusterl:
I never got anything beyond the first shipment notification, either. Cases came day before yesterday. Took about a week beyond the initial shipment notification. Keep the faith.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] avus_m3:
Does anyone have a photo with some graphics inserted for the Ultra case? I am going for the white Slim Armor as it seems like the best case going right now. I had their equivalent case on my S2 back in the day and was happy with the quality.

I am just curious regarding the Ultra as it would be cool to change it up from time to time with a simple card insert. I am just worried it will look cheap and janky.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Pekempy:
"Features a tapered lip that raises the iPhone off the table".

Well that's strange, the images look like a nexus 5 to me... Haha.

Anyone have a picture of the Spigen Ultra Hybrid with a dbrand skin? Preferably black titanium ;)

Thanks

I have called a few people and they told me that they cannot hear me very well when I have my Neo Hybrid on. I took it off and they can hear me perfectly.

Every SGP case I have had so far for the Nexus 5 has had a major operational issue.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trent25:
Their customer service is terrible. USPS seems to have lost my package. I contacted Spigen and got no response. If by tomorrow afternoon they don't expedite me a replacement I will file a claim with Amazon. I am glad I didn't order through eBay, I trust Amazon more with resolving conflicts with crappy sellers like Spigen.

This is the last time I order Spigen accessories.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] misterplod:
Bought an Ultra Hybrid and a Slim Armor.

The slim has that power button issue; jammed up against it sending the phone into a reboot cycle until the case is removed. 3 days and still no word from Spigen about getting a replacement or refund.

That said, I've been using the ultra hybrid for almost a week now.

It's fairly solid, doesn't slip any more than the naked phone. Only issue is that the buttons are bulky and too easy to press. Holding the phone in my medium sized hand and trying to press either the power or volume buttons results in the unintentional pressing (squeezing) of a button on the opposite side of the phone.

Coming from a smaller phone, it is a little tricky to use; especially with the extra bulk of the case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] firemedic1343:
File a claim. These people suck!

File a claim. They suck!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gbeaguilar:
I also have unintentional button presses on the opposite side with my ultra hybrid. I'm sure I'll learn to deal with the sensitive buttons. I find the gaps to be an annoyance, I've already spotted an eyelash that managed to find its way through the gap at the micro USB opening. Other than that, pretty good case. The extra bulk does make one handing the phone slightly more awkward, but I can deal with that... It's a fine trade off for moving away from a 3.2 inch screen :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gadget_lova:
All this complain about the buttons are too easy to press with ultra hybrid cases, is it for all the models or not?

I have one and I think it actually makes the button really comfortable and feels just right.

I have never accidentally pressed the button.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Onecton:
My GF said the exact same thing to me ... maybe that is true then.

on the other hand, i never had such a nice phone enclosure than the neo hybrid.

Neo Hybrid doesn't work with QI charger for me. .boo
[Nexus 5 Accessories] randpost:
I have three different qi chargers. They all work with the neo hybrid
[Nexus 5 Accessories] n7of9:
damnit! I got the Nokia DT-910 and it won't charge for me with the case on

N5 TapTalk
[Nexus 5 Accessories] randpost:
Never had the dt910. I have multiple dt900's and they work fine with the neo hybrid. Perhaps its a defective coil in the charger or the phone lowering the charging distance?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] n7of9:
I just tried again...it charges when I hold it sideways directly over the charging coil, or place the phone on the stand upside down, but won't work upright...i think the thickness of the case makes it a tad too tall

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Ionakr:
Thanks Mate!!!

eheh, BTW why don't we make a post with all our template ready to download? :) i must get my ultra hybrid this week and i'm gonna do a lot of this stuff ^^
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Andariel636:
I've just receive the neo hybrid metal slate and the slim armor champagne.

The neo hybrid is perfect and fits well... Just slightly silky in the back, but maybe with some scratch during a normal use, will be better.

The slim armor is the best for fit and protection. I've had the power button issue, but after just 2 hours of use it is a light problem. I don't know if is going better with a manipulation of the button during a intensive usage or for the warm of my hands and the phone. Anyway if it will compare again, I will cut of a little piece of the internal tpu of the button. Compare of the neo hybrid, it is higher the neo.

P.s. sorry for my English I'm trying to improve.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] floepie:
Wait, so which one did you like the most? The Neo or the Ultra fit...

missing back layer

I just received http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EV8Y4QI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it's missing the black layer of the back.

Does it sell separately? I think it was included in case package all together :confused::confused:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Evil_munki:
It should come together, the TPU and hard shell case. It's poor to hear you haven't received the other component...Send them an email to raise this.

any purchased the ultra fit white case? I have an nexus 5 white version and I'm thinking of getting this case, but I'm afraid the white case will get dirty easily.

What kind of Qi Charger???

I have the my Nexus 5 and just received the Spigen Ultra Hybrid and I really like the buttons... it does make it feel a little bulky, but I like it so far. It would really bum me out if it didn't charge with the Qi charger I ordered! It's the LG WCP 300... or at least something a lot like it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] UCLAKoolman:
Have the Champagne Neo-hybrid on mine. Really like it, though nothing beats the feel of the device without a case...

I can charge wirelessly on the Nokia DT-900 just fine with the Neo-hybrid too.

Hello

Can you please tell me the dimensions for ultra hybrid case.

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Cyberdan3:
Does the Neo-Hybrid make the Nexus 5 any more grippy? My phone seems to slip around my hands way too easily whereas when I had the Nexus 4, the glass would grip with my skin. I know the description says smooth texture like the Nexus 5, but what do those who have the Neo-Hybrid think about the grip. If I'm looking for grip, would it be a good choice?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] randpost:
Neo hybrid is about the same grip as the naked phone. Definitely not the go to case for grip.

I say about the same because the back has less grip and the sides have more grip at least in my case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] n7of9:
I think it makes it more grippy because it's fatter and squarer

Ordered an Ultra Fit for my GF in gold and it turns out she's not a fan - has anyone had any experience with returns/exchanges with Spigen?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
Spigen refuses to answer my emails regarding my Slim armor issue with the power button. Emailed them 5 days ago.

I sent them 2 emails on their website as well as Amazon and they refuse to answer. Contacted their HQ and apparently they have no CS phone lines.

I'm going to stop dealing with them. As much as I love the Slim Armor design I do not like companies that release products with known defects and refuse to stand by their errors.

Luckily amazon already refunded my money.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] oobatz:
I got a reply within 24 hours - their sending out a new part.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] abdel12345:
I ordered a slim armor. I hope mine doesn't have the problem with the power button. I wish I just went with the ultra hybrid. Does the slim armor come with a screen protector?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jshort79:
Any comparison photos?

A couple of people have said that they have all three of these cases. Has anyone/Could anyone post some side by side comparitive photos? I have had a look through the posts, but at 49 pages and counting I haven't yet come across any with all three.

I've got a Neo Hybrid on the way, but would be interested to see some comparisons with all three, as I'm still not sure the Neo is going to be best for me.

Thanks,
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Lownita:
Today I got my replacement for the inner layer of the spigen slim armor (from german spigen distributor). It is a lot better, buttons need a good press to trigger. They are still not as clicky as I would like them to be, but at least no more accidental triggering!

I also got a free pack of http://www.amazon.de/SPIGEN-SGP-Pro...corr&keywords=spigen+nexus+5+screen+protector are they any good? Is this the same one that comes with ultra hybrid?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rum0s:
I didn't like the grip of the Neo Hybrid case. Actually it felt much more slippy on the back side. The edges feel better though. I returned it. Anyways the buildquality was great!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trent25:
Their customer service is really bad. They only responded to me after I had Amazon CS contact them on my behalf regarding a lost package.

And they only answered saying they will reship. No estimated ship date, no tracking number ... nothing!

I am moving in a week and I have now been waiting on my Spigen order since Oct. 31, not sure if I'll ever get it.

Ordering a Diztronic now to have an alternative, hope they ship with someone more reliable.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
i still want to know how to get this neo hybrid case off without having to resort to a screwdriver or some other tool to pry it off
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crimson12:
I've found that if you put your thumbs on the tip corners and push them out diagonally while pushing in on the body of the phone with your fingers to work great. It'll pop the top of the phone out of the case and then you can slide the rest of it out.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Michealtbh:
My black Slim Armor came today. It must be one from the revised batch because there are no button issues at all
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Absolut`:
As much as I appreciate Spigen coming out with these cases early for us, I don't think they were prepared. They must have built the cases solely from dimensions supplied by Google/LG as they had them on sale pretty much when N5 was released. I have the grey Ultra Hybrid on my white Nexus 5, but after a day of use, I took it off. The embedded buttons are wonky and actually made the phone harder to use because I kept pressing the volume/power buttons on accident. They are too soft for me and offer too little of tactile feedback. The fit isn't great as it is a flatback and doesn't hug the phone as it should (you can tell by the gaps at top and bottom near microUSB port). Its a nice looking case, it just doesn't do well in terms of functionality. Hopefully Spigen addresses these issues in later batches, but for now I'm on the lookout for another case simliar to their Ultra Hybrid.

100% Pure Weaksauce right here.

I ordered an Ultra Hybrid on Nov. 3 through Amazon sold direct by Spigen, and was told it shipped on the 4th.

Checking the tracking from UPS, I see this:

UPS Mail Innovations Shipment Progress

Location	Date	Activity

Fontana, CA, United States	11/13/2013	Package transferred to destination UPS Mail Innovations facility

11/04/2013	Shipment information received by UPS Mail Innovations

They marked it as shipped on the 4th and it sat at Spigen for another 8 days before it was shipped out. It is still

in California and I am on the east coast.

My phone needs a case now, so I am going to pay extra to have another case 2 day shipped, but I will not be buying from Spigen again.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] firemedic1343:
You should start a new thread on this entitled: Spigen 100% Pure Weaksauce

I can confirm the weaksauce. I am filing a complaint with Amazon. They need to know about these shady shipping practices. I sent them emails and they did not admit to a shipping delay until they finally shipped it a week later.

I've just got the spigen ultra hybrid case and have been pleasantly surprised by how responsive the power and volume buttons are with the case on.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Letitride:
I ordered mine on Fri. 11/1 and it was marked as shipped the same day. Wasn't picked up by UPS-MI until Mon. 11/4 - sorted and dispatched. Noted as transferred to destinationa UPS-MI processing facility on 11/5 (West Coast to East Coast) and apparently arrived rather quickly to the nearest ??? sorting center 300 miles from our address, for handing off to USPS. Then, it went to the wrong local postal sorting center - and DISPATCHED for delivery by the "local" mail carrier, LOL. Obviously, it was returned & then FORWARDED to the proper postal sorting center serving our area - a few miles away. All of these took an extra 1 to 2 days. Finally, once it got routed properly - the local mail carrier delivered it within 24 hours - and that was last Saturday. In contrast, USPS first class package mailing often can deliver directly in 3 days - oh well, that's what we "GET" for free shipping.

Another XDA member in PA got it routed to "nearby" NJ, then it got routed to NC via MD, before somehow getting back to PA - not even sure if it has been delivered - I will try to see if I can locate that thread/posting here a few days ago.

Grrrr - filed a claim/notice with Amazon to forward to Spigen about the buttons on the Hybrid, asked to give them 72 hours to reply - will see. Meanwhile, the shipping practice of the seller using UPS-MI is really, really lousy & poor - seldom have problems buying on eBay with various "small" sellers. When all sorted out, I will give "proper" feedback on seller on Amazon's website - put them on NOTICE, but Amazon isn't going to turn its back on the seller, IMO.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dnak24:
Just received my Neo Hybrid and I like the look of it a lot. The buttons feel very nice and everything seems to fit just fine. However, it makes the phone feel a lot bulkier in my opinion. I also have a Ringke slim and like the feel of it a lot better. Maybe i just have small hands? Still a really great case, though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trent25:
that would be me. I never received my case. It never updated after getting to NC. Spigen didn't respond to my emails. I contacted amazon thru chat to contact Spigen on my behalf. Spigen responded to that only to say they will send a replacement. No mention of when or a tracking number.

In the mean time I ordered a diztronic case.

I've lost hope of getting the Spigen. I'll wait for a couple of days and file a refund claim, because I'm moving out of the country for a couple of months by the end of next week.

Absolute crap. This is the first and last time I use Spigen. I have no idea why XDAers hype them so much.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Because your experiences don't obviously reflect the majorities.

It's upsetting that they have issues with the first styles of cases of the Nexus 5, but it seems most companies that were sent dummy phones are having issues with fitment or buttons.

I've used spigen for years, on over half a dozen devices, and have had next to no issues with them. The one time I did have issues it was with the new nexus 7 screen protectors having too many cutouts for cameras and sensors. They sent me 2 revised versions free of charge. In still using version 1.

Its clear they are being swamped with nexus orders, and have a backlog going like most other large retailers. Give them a bit of slack, and I'm sure their customer service will treat you accordingly.

It's amazing what a patient, understanding customer means to an over worked customer service Rep. They will reward you as they did me, I have no doubts. If you want to miss out on AAA products for your phone in the future, then don't deal with them again. But it would be your loss.
