Which would offer the best protection out of these 3 models, and would the ultra hybrid backing scratch over time? I may get one of them but can't make up my mind as to which one!:confused:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Garbsener:
you get the best protection with slim armor.

and i really hope that the ultra hybrid is more or less scratch resistent, i heard that its better then those made by spigen in the past... i get my ultra hybrid on thursday or friday...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] squadz:
Hoping for pictures of the full case, not the hybrid. Sorry!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RayLancer:
I'm still debating between both Neo Hybrid and Slim Armor. The Neo Hybrid isn't too durable but I LOVE the look.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mobbarley:
Just purchased the Neo Hybrid in the Metal Slate along with the Glass.tr. Found it to be a couple dollars less when doing this method (only if ordering more than 1 Spigen item), being fulfilled by Spigen instead of Amazon since the combined shipping cost is less than the increased price that includes free shipping. Click on where I have it highlighted in the image below. Ebay would have been $59.xx shipped to CA (CA sales tax), Amazon fulfillment would have been $54.xx (15% off the glass.tr), and Spigen fulfillment through Amazon came out to $52.xx

I waited and caved ordering the neo champagne hydrid too since it is actually in stock compared to the ultra I'm waiting on. That will despatch Thursday.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cracksmurf:
Wow, talk about fast delivery. I ordered this last night (11/3/2013) expecting to receive it 11/7/2013. This was great since my phone was stated as leaving factory 11/8/2013. Woke up this morning to an email from Google stating that my phone would arrive tomorrow and an email from Spigen stating that the case would arrive today. That is freaking perfect. Lots of love to Spigen for such an amazing delivery. Don't think I've ever had next day delivery, especially since I'm pretty sure I chose the cheapest delivery option.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] knääärz:
Quick and low light. Bad pictures :eek:

However. I noticed that the hole for the headphone jack is too small. I mean its too small for my Ultrasone Headphone :crying:.

It looks elegant. But on the other hand it makes the N5 so fat. I am not sure if I send it back or just enlarge the hole by drilling.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dr3amsINdigital:
Can you please post a pic of the Nexus 5 without a case laying next to the case to show the thickness increase?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
That would be good, although this case seems slimmer than I thought it was.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
Hey guys, turns out Fedex decided to be nice to me, so I am receiving the Slim Armor and Neo Hybrid today in the mail!

I get back from physics lecture at 18:00 PST so I will pick up my package and make video reviews of the two products as soon as I get home.

I do NOT have my Nexus 5 yet, it will arrive this Thursday. I will make reviews of the cases today without the Nexus 5, then I will make 2 more reviews this Thursday when I actually receive my phone (so I can put the cases on the phone).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] knääärz:
The bad photos makes me feel ashamed....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mrsbelpit:
The Slim Armor cases are REALLY nice, I got the Champagne and the black. My phone arrives today, so I can provide pics if anyone is interested.

Another note: I had a real problem with the Neo hybrid for my Gnex, the rubber part stertched out within a few weeks due to the phone heat, I would not buy another.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] roastpork:
I'm very interested. I ordered the Champagne Neo Hybrid case and I'm between the black and white Slim Armor cases.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
Those are not bad, thanks. I'd love to see a pic of them laying flat next to each other but I can get the idea. Thanks
[Nexus 5 Accessories] androidfish:
So for anyone who is using a Spigen case with a screen protector, does the case interfere with the screen protector at all?

I bought a cheapo s-line case (£2) while waiting for the accessories market to catch up.

Disadvantages:

- The case makes the screen protector lift at the edges.

- The case is not thick enough to raise the camera off the surface if you lay the phone flat on its back (I see the Spigen case has little bumps at the corners to avoid that).

(Long term I'd like to get a nice folio case. I have a Speck Fitfolo on my N7 that I'm very happy with, but these always seem to take longer to come to market for new devices).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dr3amsINdigital:
That's what I was hoping to see too. Thanks for the pictures knääärz!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] chw2006:
For those who have the phone already, how well does the Neo Hybrid fit on the phone?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] chillaxnphilx:
Finally here!

This is my Nexus 5 White 32GB in the SPIGEN SGP Slim Armor White (sorry if the image is a bit blurry)

BTW: I'm about to put on the SPIGEN Ultra Crystal Screen Protector and for those of you who have been asking, the screen protector only has a cutout for the earpiece area.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zephiK:
Its fits pretty well. Doesn't add much grip to the phone though. Feel like when the phone doesn't have any case on, its more grippy.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] johnny15:
I read one review online that says there is an issue with the way the case lines up with the power button. Are you having those issues with the SPIGEN SGP Slim Armor? Any other impressions? I'm leaning towards getting this case myself but keeping an eye on early feedback.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
That looks really nice. I'll have the same setup going on as soon as everything comes in.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jcsww:
Is the case on the back thick enough to protect the camera or does the camera still stick out a bit?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] adrman:
Didn't read the review, but I've got an issue with the power button. Basically the case keeps it depressed and the phone keeps rebooting. It seems to be related to the interchangeable color back plate the case comes with. If I remove the back plate, no problem. Once it's in place though.... Guess I'll be returning to Amazon in the am. Just out of curiosity, do you have a link to that review?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] textus:
I have not bought any SGP products before... Do they usually run discounts/promotions every now and then? I am holding out for a Neo Hybrid case and a Glas.t screen protector.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jphilippon:
Bah. My neo hybrid has rattle-y buttons and they feel loose. I'll send it back tomorrow. I need something to transfer the excellent feeling of the N5 buttons.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] johnny15:
Here's a link to the review I was referring to...its on Amazon:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Clownzer:
I love my Neo Hybrid... I put it on as soon as I got my phone! Adds nearly no weight and fits perfectly.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] chillaxnphilx:
Sorry its blurry...macro shots are hard to hold steady (excuse the protective sticker I haven't taken off yet)

Honestly, this case is so snug and well fitted it is difficult to put on the hard plastic part. If you saw from my previous pictures...

Because the buttons have that slit for movement, I put it on as carefully as I could so that it didn't catch to the plastic and possibly tear off. OVERALL though once the case is on...the buttons are very responsive. there's no side movement, and everything is snug. I love the case.

UPDATE: Just put the case on with the 2 pieces already together! MUCH EASIER!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Yadao:
I have the white/black Slim Armor. It's a bit tough to put on/take off, but once it's on it's a very nice fit. The buttons are the best of any covered-button case I've ever had.

(It's easier to put on if you leave the shell on the TPU. I put the top of the phone in first near the middle of the case, slide it up, then pop the bottom in last. It works fairly well. Reverse to remove.)

Ultra hybrid case

Feels great on my n5. Makes it a nice size and feels good in the hands. I get a little bit of the wet effect but that will be resolved soon when my dbrands get here. Buttons have good feedback and feel nice. Much easier to put it on than the ringke fusion on the n4

>^.^< Sent from meow nexus5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RayLancer:
On the Ultra Hybrid? If so that's fantastic. I think I found the right case for me (and also doing the dbrand vinyl too!). I have the original Fusion on the N4 and it was horrible. Others persuaded me to buy the revision and I've been loving it ever since.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] AliLaPointe:
Thanks for the pics man. I just ordered the same case in black. Can you comment on how much bulk it adds to the phone? Does the phone feel considerably more clunky/heavy with the case on?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] ah_long:
Thanks! That's good news and much appreciated

I got so used to the ORB and I would be very bummed out if it doesn't work
[Nexus 5 Accessories] chillaxnphilx:
Because the phone is so light by itself the added weight of the slim armor case isn't that significant. It actually feels very strong and sturdy. The thickness is however noticeable because there is a good amount of protection on the back of the device.

******FYI to all the SLIM ARMOR owners I found out that the SLIM ARMOR is actually significantly easier to put on the device with the two pieces already together. Then you don't run the risk of tearing buttons or buttons not fitting in their respective holes. It goes on and comes off much easier with the pieces TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Anyone want my Neo Hybrid?

Anyone interested in buying a Slate Neo Hybrid case off me? Its awesome and all but its just a bit bulkier than I expected and I have smallerish hands so I think im gonna go with the ultra hybrid or slim snap instead since they seem a bit or alot smaller. I can return to spigen but it would be weeks before I get my refund and Im gonna have to pay out of pocket to return it either way so just hoping to work something out with a fellow XDA member. If anyone is willing to do 17 or so shipped? or just shoot me a pm to see what we can do thanks!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] johaganism:
anyone seen a champagne gold bumper case with a clear back? i wonder how a white nexus would feel with a gold bumper

edit: just looking at the amazon page i see in the description with the pictures--

apparently you can interchange the neo hybrid 2 piece case with other parts/colors

someone wana try taking a picture with just the gold bumper on?

second edit: actually it seems like the bumper fits onto the black back piece.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AceKingNYC:
I contemplated the neo and slim armor and I decided to go with the Slim Armor (black) just for a but more protection. I should be receiving it tomorrow, got it through Amazon Prime!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Evil_munki:
I'm torn between the Ultra Hybrid and the Slim Armor, either one seems a good buy for me...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] maherj:
For anyone who has both the Neo Hybrid and Slim Armor, which is a better case? I have the Neo Hybrid and it seems a big larger than I wanted (I have the Nexus 4 bumper and love it). I'm concerned with having a back on my case, as I need it to function with my Nexus 4 Orb charger, but looks like it seems to charge okay with the Nexus 4 in my Neo Hybrid, even though it won't stick...I'd consider ordering the Slim Armor if it's clearly better.

Also for those with the Neo Hybrid, can you just put the bumper on, or do you need the full case?

Replies/Suggestions would be appreciated :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mrsbelpit:
I had such a stretching problem with the rubber on my Neo hybrid for the Gnex that I refuse to buy one again. Here's my slim Armor in Champagne. I also got black.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] wvcadle:
The quality wasn't bad at all, but it's a little pointless to review a case without the phone.

Thanks anyway.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jlaudio27:
Don't like the neo hybrid personally. It will only wirelessly charge on my nexus 4 charger in landscape with this case. I also feel like its more slippery than the phone without the case at all. Will be returning. Quality was nice though.

EDIT: Played with it a little more and if you get it just right in portrait mode it will charge. Though I'm still on the fence, it definitely feels like its more prone to falls with this case, grip goes down considerably.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Lownita:
I just cancelled my order on white slim armor and will get the champagne. First I thought it was the least color I want, but I like it more and more.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TheTommyD:
Slow Shipping?

Anyone else having slow shipping confirmation from Amazon.ca? I ordered the Neo Hybrid on Sunday and no confirmation yet.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Evil_munki:
I'm close to placing my order, and I'm also torn between the two colourways. I'm leaning towards the white, but the champagne Slim Armor looks really classy.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] anthonyly:
anyone order the ultra hybrid from amazon? that said they wouldn't be in stock til lthe 15th? well i just got my grey on shipped..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] astarling10:
I received my neo hybrid yesterday before I got the phone today. Its a nice case and doesn't add any significant bulk to the phone. I also have the spigen clear back case coming also. Probably tomorrow.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ethantarheels123:
do the buttons have a click to them when you press them in? and does it feel like the buttons are mashing on the nexus 5 buttons? This is my only worry because the case buttons are not soft, and don't want to damage the nexus 5 buttons.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Garrett92C:
I'm having the same issue with the power button. It's way too sensitive with the case on. If you do end up shaving down some of the rubber, could you let us know how it works out? I'll probably end up doing the same thing to attempt to fix this.

Edit:

Spigen Support emailed me back. Looks like they'll be sending me a replacement.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] chw2006:
I really wanted to like the Neo Hybrid...but it makes the phone so much bigger and the buttons are HUGE compared to the actual size of the buttons on the phone. I think I'm going to return it for something a bit more subtle.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] balla786:
Anyone know how large the opening is for the headphone connector for the Ultra Hybrid:

http://www.amazon.com/CUSHION-Anti-...8-1&keywords=nexus+5+case+spigen+ultra+hybrid

I can't find details anywhere.

My current daily use headphones are the Audiotechnica m50's, the headphone jack is 1/8" wide for the 3.5 mm jack.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jeimygirl:
I have 2 N5's in my possession. One with a hybrid and one with a slim armor. They are both EXCELLENT! They both barely add any bulk to the phone. Perfect cut outs. Can not go wrong with these!

The glass on the hybrid will definitely keep a lot of stains/fingerprints on it, but the soft black backing of the N5 is already an oil/ print magnet so not much different.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] resynx:
How is the power button on the slim armor? Seeing some people have problems with it such as it holding down the power button and making the phone reboot and stuff :eek:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] balla786:
So 1/8 of an inch is 3.175mm... then I'm good. Sweet. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jeimygirl:
No click, softer press than the bare button. No smashing for me.

Not sensitive for me. Not hard either. Just as much pressure as bare buttons.

I think it barely adds anything to the phone. It makes it less rounded in the back, and it's no rubber scratch protector, but for a basic case that gives you some protection, it barely adds anything. And yes, the buttons are quite big! Not sure the point on that but they are flush except for the indentations so it's not that big of a deal.

---------- Post added at 02:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 AM ----------

Power button "clicks" on the slim armor. Smooth, no pressure on the button. Just as much effort in pressing it as bare button.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Garrett92C:
Spigen said that they "noticed that some of the Slim Armor cases were not as perfect as they should have been". If yours has this issue with the buttons, shoot them an email and they'll give you a replacement.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] astarling10:
the buttons work great! you click them and they turn volume up/down and power off device like it should.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] SplitCold:
Just got my Ultra Hybrid and I have to say the "crystal back" looks like crap! There is scratches, fingerprints, and hair on the clear plastic, really disappointing...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
My phone and case won't arrive for a week or more. Can anyone provide a comparison as far as extra heft and size the Slim Armor would add comparing to say... a Seidio Surface and/or Active case on similar sized phones? I was hoping Seidio would have had their Convert case available at launch but alas such is not the case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cropythy:
I ordered the Slim Armor, it doesn't fit right and holds the power button down. After 30 minutes i had it situated so it didn't hold it down, but any pressure on the right hand side of the case triggered a button press. Not happy about this and recommend waiting until spigen fixes the fit or just find a different case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Kwami:
You need to remove the protective plastic from both sides of the clear back.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] jxr94:
I have the slim armor in solid black, and the neo hybrid in gold/black. They are both awesome cases, but the neo hybrid feels way better. Can take pics of the phone in the cases if anyone wants me to.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jhzafrani:
I got the slim armor the other day and the Nexus 5 today. Regardless of how I put my phone in the case, it seems like it is not a good fit. The case's Power Button keeps on pressing against the phone's power button and it keeps on resetting the phone... This one is going back... :crying: It is a great looking case though and I love the equivalent case on the iPhone 5....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] astarling10:
thanks! i wish Ravens would get it together. A loss to the Browns the other day was unacceptable.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jjc5891:
Hmm...I have the same (black slim armor) and it fits perfect with no issues; better than the Diztronic I had on my old galaxy note. Perhaps the phone isn't seated right?

After a day of use, I can say this might be the best case I've ever used on any phone!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jxr94:
Edit: My slim armor fits perfectly, if you have a case that's keeping the power button down, think about getting it replaced.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Majin GeoDooD:
I too am finding myself having to return the slim armor case due to the power button issue. Luckily I also ordered a Diztronic at the same time which should be here any day now.

I liked the feel of the slim armor and would definitely consider buying a revised version if the Diztronic doesn't work out.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] OldManJax:
Just an FYI the ultra hybrid shows a lot of fingerprints smudges on the back. I have to constantly clean it off. I just ordered this case, to give it a try.

I have been using this case for a day now and I'm impressed. The fitment is perfect and I love the color combo. The buttons for volume and power work great, they are really easy to press and are responsive. The cut outs for speakers, USB and headphone are perfect. The case is a little more white than the phone and has a mat finish similar to the white Nexus. I will let the photos do the speaking. Sorry for all the lint of the phone.

Got my Spigen ultra hybrid today, its very nice, build quality and finish is excellent imo, alot better than the ringke fusion I had for my N4 (can vouch for the Fusin N5 case though). Buttons all work perfectly, Mine came with 1 spigen screen protector - 3 ply kind and its good quality. No cut outs for camera/other sensors though, but doesn't seem to cause any issues, probably as its so thin. Here's some photos for those interested:

This company is a joke on amazon.ca! They sent us the 1st email for the case being shipped out. Then they cancelled our orders due to price error the day after. What is this??? Should the 1st email of price error instead of shipped out notice?

I will never buy any Spigen product again.
