Faul

For anyone else making a warranty claim against Spigen through Amazon:

After they acknowledged that the Ultra Hybrid Case was faulty (after a few emails, and also after sending in photos of the defect as they asked for it), they requested me to destroy the case.

I had to provide photo evidence of the destroyed case. I requested a replacement but they actually gave me a full refund.

They offered half cost shipping if I bought a new case. Customer support is good but as this process was quite long (3 weeks), and they don't seem to have fixed the sensitive buttons on the new ultra hybrid cases, I will have to opt for Diztronic as my new case.

I'm going to RMA my ultra hybrid after a representative said there shouldn't be gaps. I'll see if I remember to post an update if it actually fixes the gaps around USB and headphone jack.

Got my Neo Hybrid today. Def the most premium feeling case I've ever owned.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] aaron.bufc:
Picked up a Neo Hybrid also, pretty happy with it after a day of use. I've only used the Bumper Case up until this point. Looks and feels great. It fits very well, so well that i wouldn't want to remove it too often in fear of it loosening/bending etc. None the less, I'd recommend it.

A note and idea for fellow neo hybrid users:

I've had my champagne gold for about a month, and one corner of the plastic band is starting to wear through the paint.

It may be a good idea to use a clearcoat acrylic (spray is ideal) to prevent this.

Going to get the slim armor and .tr protectors (I think this is overkill a little, but better safe than sorry IMO), but I need to ask: how much bulk do they add? As in, could you please weigh them together?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Aprophis1987:
Spigen Slim Armor

So, I got the Spigen Slim Armor Case in Infinity White. What I noticed is that the Power Button is very sensitive with this case on, but when you put the rubber part of the case on first, pull it a little until it fits perfectly and put on the plastic part afterwards there are no problems at all. Everything just works as it should. Btw, I have the rattling buttons problem on my Nexus 5, but with this case on its gone. I'm very happy that I bought this.

Does everyone use a screen protector and case or just case. I find the oleo phobic coating is too good to cover up with a screen protector that is much worse....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] malinois16:
I think that is a good combo. In fast it is my favorite so far. I think it offers the best of not much bulk and good protection. Weigh them? I don't have a scale that weighs things that small. Sorry. Trust me it's not much bulk at all I have a case with less bulk that I do like but I don't think it is as protective.

Yup. I love my slim armor case. If you fit it properly I don't think they are over sensitive. I know that is subjective though, but I like the fact that the buttons are easy to find and press.

Everyone does different things. I would personally recommend some kind of protective case so you can at least drop the phone from a smalll distance without them breaking. I also highly recommend a Spigen Glas.Tr nano if you want the GLASS feeling.

So does anyone still have problems with the buttons not being clicky with the Slim Armor?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cletus2:
Can anyone provide some numbers or pictures for how thick these cases are?

I'm trying to decide between the Slim Armor, Neo Hybrid or the Seido Dilex
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jRi0T68:
My digital caliper is out of batteries (honestly), but Neo Hybrid looks to be just over 11mm thick (74mm wide, 148mm tall)

Hey guys. I just received my ultra hybrid tpday. First once I put on the free screen protector what I thought was perfect. But when I put on the case it would lift up the top and bottom right corners of the screen protector. Anyone have a solution for this? Thanks
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thecryof:
Neo Hybrid or Slim Armor, difficult decision since both look at least to be fantastic. I'm still reading up on them.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] NuxMortis:
I posted that a few pages earlier:

It was difficult and took some time, but I managed to place the Spigen screen protector so perfect in the middle of the nexus, that it wasn't pushed up (I discovered I can move the applied protector slightly with my (gluey) fingers...)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] myculito:
can't go wrong with either one. I prefer the Slim Armor in Black.

Spigen just became very sweet to me. They gave me a full refund on my ultra hybrid due to some minor issues!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TJKV:
Cool! Where did you buy it from, and what were defects? I bet they asked you to destroy the case and send pictures as proof though? :p

I have ordered their slim armour and the 3 pack screen protectors on amazon.com (us website). Came to 2.3k shipped to India :) Out of that Rs 900 were the shipping charges. They considered 1usd to be close to 66 rupees for the conversion! But considering the case by itself costs 2.4k on amazon.in and around 2k for the case and 1k for the screen protectors on mobilefun, this was a good deal. :highfive:

I have a neo hybrid ordered but still on waiting time, a friend of mine has the Ultra Hybrid one and only says wonderful stuff about it, I was curious to see the difference of size compared to the Neo Hybrid one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Valkyrie743:
i just got mine in and i like the case other than the buttons. they have no tactile feel to them. they are very hard and when i press them i dont feel or hear a click. its really bothering me. if i put just the tpu part on i have a nice click but once i put on the plastic wrap around part, that click and feel is gone :( its bugging the crap out of me. i was just going to get the nexus bumper but i dont feel like paying 35 plus tax and shipping for one.and i only paid i think 16 bucks for this.

i love this case though the look and feel of it. just the buttons are annoying. if the buttons were not so hard i would say this has been the best phone case i've ever had
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Zephyr101:
Can't decide between Slim Armor(Champagne Gold/Black) or the Neo Hybrid(Champagne Gold) I already have the Slim armor in white and it has given me great protection, it's just, I don't like the color anymore. But I heard the 2nd revision of these Slim Armor cases made the buttons feel not sensitive at all, and you can't even feel it pressing down. And on the other side. I've heard that with the Neo Hybrid, it's SUPER slippery and doesn't offer as much protection. Idk, thinking about getting the Slim armor in gold/black and if I don't like the feel of the buttons, I'll just use the TPU that came with my original white case. Help?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] abdel12345:
Slim armor is what I have and yeah the revised one makes it hard to press the buttons but you can still press them is just you can't really feel it being pressed.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BeerChameleon:
Anyone with the Neo Hybrid case have very lose volume and power buttons? On the case i mean not the phone. I assume its normal but if not then I could return the case for another one. :confused:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
I have loose buttons on my n5 neo hybrid, but not my s4 hybrid.

To fix the issue, I took a small piece of masking tape just large enough to cover the button on the inside of the plastic trim ring, and covered the backside of both volume and power buttons.

It fixed the rattle, and gave a bit better tactile feedback.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BeerChameleon:
Cool thanks! :laugh: :victory:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] refinition:
Thanks for this piece of advice!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lbrasi:
I have the ultra hybrid. One thing I noticed it tends to trigger "bug report" often because I guess the volume rockers plus power get pressed simultaneously by accident.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] progrance:
what about the buttons of the neo hybrid case...are they good?

would you recommend the neo hybrid case or just wait for the Original LG nexus 5 case?

the spigen case is more expensive than the LG Original case (Belgium)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bknightt:
I've bought the spigen neo hybrid and tbh couldn't be happier with the purchase, the buttons feel nice, but most of all, the phone feels much better when handled, apart from this one, I'm going to try a diztronic one as well, just to see how it fits, since they're so cheap to get.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rubber guard:
I have somewhat loose buttons, but not enough to effect operation or comfort. I think I like the give a bit.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] progrance:
How are the buttons? you said: they feel nice but are they hard to push?

do they feel cheap? do they react good?

does the case fit prefectly?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cletus2:
I just got my white slim armor case in today. Fit is great and it adds pretty minimal bulk and weight.

My power/volume buttons are a little stiffer than I wish they were though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] abdel12345:
Just some advice the button will t better after a little. But don't take the case off too much or the back cover gets a little loose and starts making an annoying creaking noise. (I took mine off like 20 times though that's why)

DAMN that case looks good. Makes me regret buying the ultra hybrid :rolleyes:

Looks like I'll pick one of those up!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bknightt:
I like them pretty much and find them easy enough to press, no worries with it, nah at least for me, nothing on the case feels cheap, yes it fits perfectly on the device ;), to be honest I even prefer to hold it with the case than without it.

Can't you remedy this by turning the option off through settings?

Anybody here uses Neo Hybrid with Rhino Shield?

I know Spigen has their own glass screen protectors but I'm looking at other options. Plus the Rhino Shield is cheaper. :p
[Nexus 5 Accessories] oldmanz312:
Me :)

Rhino Shield isn't glass though, take note :) still it's good :D

Removing the Neo Hybrid is quite hard, coz it's very tight fit, so sometimes after putting in and out I have air bubbles at the top corner. But after pushing and adjusting for a while they will certainly go, so no worries :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] xskillz:
Having trouble in deciding to buy the Neo Hybrid or Ultra Hybrid..

I definitely think the Neo Hybrid is one of the most appealing cases.

If it wasn't for a few minor concerns, I would get it.

My issue with it is the reviews have said difficulty to remove and headphones jack. I do tend like changing cases every once in awhile, so it would be good if it was easy to remove. Also I use earphones a lot, so whenever it will fit is a concern.

Help?:confused:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
You just have to be careful removing the case.

I personally like the ultra hybrid a bit better. It doesn't look as formal, but the protection is better, and it doesn't have button issues.

Question about the Neo and the Ultra hybrid cases. I'm looking to buy the ultra hybrid if it solves the problem i have with the Neo. I got the new nexus branded qi charger for christmas and my phone doesn't make a good magnetic hold with the charger when it's in the Neo case, does anyone have any feed back on how well it connects when in the ultra case?

TIA

[Nexus 5 Accessories] abdel12345:
The speaker is still the same relative size just the wholes are bigger so it should still fit fine

How do the neo-hybrids perfrom when it comes to shock/fall resistance?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
These are junk.

They look similar, but rubber is crap, plastic is flimsy, and it doesn't fit properly.

People think fitment of the actual Spigens have issues, these are utter garbage.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] jsarino:
I saw it on the Spigen site... how is this one different from the Ultra Fit? They somehow made it even thinner than that one?

Edit: browsing through the site, the Ultra Fit isn't even listed anymore. Looking at the pics, it looks the same as what I have. I wonder if they renamed it, or changed something I can't see that precipitated the name change?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Silicon Knight:
I am curious of this ^ too. My case get's here today, I got the Slim Armor case, in white. Bummed about covering my beautiful white nexus up lol, but I didn't like Spigen's, or Ringke's Clear-backed cases (especially that POS Ringke passes off as a "Premium Case" that comes already scratched to S**T ! 3 times). So until I can find someone to put my ghost armor on for me (messed it up soooo bad the first time, had to buy another kit)

Anyways, I also ordered two different Screen Protectors, the Skinomi one, and the Spigen one, from my experience the Spigen HD protectors work pretty well, I have one on my Galaxy Note 3 and my GF's HTC One Max, and even after a few months, no orange peel, and still has clear viewing through it to the screen....But i always like trying new things, and the Skinomi box and logo are badass so I figured I'd try it for no other reason but to just get that box

I seriously wanna try the Glass screen Protectors tho, I had never head of these until recently, and am not familiar with how they work and if they are worth the 30-40$ price tag (for the Spigen brand) they are asking for them. Any thoughts, and as [MENTION=1774297]hmbarbosa[/MENTION] asked, do they work will with Spigen's cases ?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gbarayah:
I current have the Spigen Nano Tr screen protector and am using it with the Slim Armor Case. The case does not interfere with the protector at all. They run right up to one another and appear to be designed to do so.

As for the screen protector itself, it is truly amazing. It feels as though I am using the actual device screen rather than a protector. It does attract more fingerprints than other screen protectors but I'm more than happy to deal with that if it means a true glass feel to the screen.

I've used the Spigen HD protectors in the past as well as Skinomi. I'll likely never opt for a wet install screen protector again and can say that the $30-40 for a glass one is well worth it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] f0olyc0oly:
Nice to hear. But I find it hard to remove the case, since I'm switching the case when I'm playing PSX games using the GameKlip. :)

That one? I have it and its great looking and having the full 360 protection is great compared to the regular ultra fit which only protects the sides and if you want to show off the back of your phone and have a slim fit this case s for you.

I have an extra one that is new I got as a replacement from Spigen Im willing to sell since I went with something a bit more protective if anyone is intersted? Just PM me.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Silicon Knight:
Just got my Spigen Slim-Armor yesterday from Amazon, and it is hands down the best case I've ever used. Except for the Otterbox I had on my Galaxy S4. But honestly I think they are tied, for comfort in the hand, and durability (tho I've only seen the drop test performed with Otterbox's, not spigen....not about to try it with mine haha) IT beats the Otterboxes in overall Look. As i mentioned, I got the white Nexus 5, and I was a lil bummed about covering it up, but this white looks just as good.....just wish it had the Nexus imprint on the back of it like the phone does.

All in all, its a great damn case tho, it even surprisingly fits inside the bracket that holds my phone on the new "ipega" I got in my shipment from amazon last nite as well.

I must say, for 20$ that thing is pretty damn awesome. Combine the controller with a slim port-HDMI device, and you got yourself a lil media & gaming hub.

Overall it's amazing. The only thing I may trade it up for, is Ghost Armor (love that stuff) Gonna order one of those glass screens tomorrow, stoked to try it out.

on a side note; anyone else have the white nexus, and feel the constant fear of dropping it. I had the black one first, but it got stolen the day after christmas, so then I got this white one (aka my stormtropper phone) and the black matte type finish had a nice grip to it. but with the glossy sides and smooth back of the phone. I was so worried i was gonna drop it.

ANyone else know what i mean ?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] matsalm:
Got the Hybrid yesterday. makes the phone a bit "lumpy" for my liking but nice to have some protection on it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] senator17x:
Anyone else not loving their ultra hybrid? It fits well on the sides, seems well made, however the back is extremely slick and looks like it turns a darker black when the clear back plastic actually contacts the phone. Looks like there is moisture on the back, but when removed....nothing.

Looks like I should have went with a Neo Hybrid.

Would I contact Spigen through Amazon or through email for options?

SALE on ULTRA HYBRID!

I was debating all day on whether I'd get the Ultra Hybrid cuz I already have the Slim Armor. I just went on Amazon and noticed the Ultra Hybrid is no longer prime eligible and that the gray one was now $4.01 + $4.98 shipping. Well if you live in the US.. the offer is free standard shipping for anywhere in the US so the case just cost $4.01. Although I have to wait until its available Nov 15 it beats paying the previous $12.99.

Can you please tell me what is the difference between this two spigen screen protectors:

http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-Google...83306220&sr=8-2&keywords=spigen+nexus+5+glass

Or is it better that I buy:

Are glass versions much better than pet film version.

Thank you.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] shreddintyres:
For the Slim that says extreme durability and comfort, has rounded edges.

from here http://www.spigen.com/brands/google...ctor-glas-tr-slim-premium-tempered-glass.html

With regards to which is better glass or PET, i prefer glass, they do add a lil bit of weight to the device but nothing that makes it unusable. They also have a much harder SP which protects your device better, and most importantly they feel like you are touching the naked device. The SGP/Spigen Glass sp has a hardness rating of 8-9H which is substantially harder than most of your PET SP's. I personally have also found glass sp's to be easier to apply with less bubbles and non of that horrendous orange peeling. That said SGP's pet sp is also pretty good thats what i have on my Nexus 7 and their customer service atleast in my experience is unmatched. when the N7 sp was released the first batch was released and had some rather insignificant issues with it regarding the location of some of the holes on the sp and some touch sensitivity issues. We reported this to SGP and with in a few days they had revised the product and sent out replacements to all of us who had purchased the "defective" SP's but not just one they sent me 2 extra, so now i have 3 extra SP's lying around if and when i need to replace the sp on my N7.

My experience has been you can't go wrong with SGP.

Hope this helps .
