[Nexus 5 Accessories] Petrovski80:
My Ultra Hybrid case arrived today from Amazon.co.uk. After one day with the case, here are some quick observations:

Pros

- The case looks and feels pretty decent. Not breathtaking or anything, but that's to be expected for this price. I like the clear back.

- My N5 fits perfectly snug. No spaces between the case and the screen.

- The openings for bottom speaker + mic, USB connector, headphone jack and camera are well positioned.

- The openings for the headphone jack and USB connector are large enough to accommodate large plugs.

Cons

- The case is not level. When placed on a flat surface, the phone wobbles on a diagonal axis. Doesn't matter if the screen is facing up or down. As we know, the back of the N5 is also not level because of the protruding camera lens, but I expected the case to cancel this out and be level. It's annoying if you use the phone when it's lying on its back and it wobbles.

- The clear back is a fingerprint magnet. Not a big deal and inevitable for clear and smooth surfaces in general.

- The headphone jack opening is a friendly invitation for pocket lint, I can see some after even only 1 day in my pocket.

In summary: I like it. Good value for money. The only thing that bugs me is the wobbling.

[Update] Since I could not find anyone else who reported a non-flat/level case, I decided to see if it could be caused by something else. That being: the Nexus not being flat. Turns out, my Nexus is indeed not flat. Without a case and placed with the screen down, it still wobbles on the same diagonal axis as with case. Did never notice this before since I never place my phone screen down on a table or desk, and with the screen up it's not possible to notice since the camera lens is protruding.

I must say, I did not expect his. Of all of my previously owned phones, I'm guessing this LG is the first one that's not flat/level.

Can anyone tell me if the ultra slim has a lip like the ringke one? I'm thinking of going spigen over ringke since I want a slim case
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Asch:
Anyone with the Neo Hybrid case , comment on the headphone jack?

I use shure se215 as my head phones , and I had problems with other cases.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
215s don't fit the neo hybrid or the ultra armor.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Asch:
damn i was hoping it would , neo hybrid looks really nice :(

you have a se215 yourself? or you can tell from the measurements?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
I have close to a dozen different iems and otes and one of them happens to be a pair of 215s. It goes into the phone, but not enough to catch. Right now I'm using one of spigens thin air ones that leave the top and bottom of the phone open. I have ordered one of the new clear ones that covers the top and bottom though. Hopefully it works.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jeimygirl:
Anyone using the design inserts for the Hybrid? I keep wanting to put one in, but I then I change my mind so I can see the nice back of the phone.

I may just make one with a design personalized.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thegtfusion:
sh*t, that looks really f*cking nice man!!!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] abdel12345:
I just got a shipping confirmation and my slim armor case is about 20 minutes away but I won't get it until Tuesday for the eta. I would be pissed if I had my phone but since I'm still waiting on that I don't really care as long as it comes before the phone. Maybe I can get my phone and case on the same day :p
[Nexus 5 Accessories] firemedic1343:
Definitely make your own. The ones that came with cheapen the appearance in my opinion.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RayLancer:
I feel like I am beating a dead horse with this question but no one has answered it. I have an Ultra Hybrid and I love it, except for the fact that the gap between the phone and the case near the port openings are a bit too much allowing dust and other stuff to get trapped in there. You can clearly see the clear plastic backing of the case through the port opening.

Are the Neo Hybrid and Slim Armor the same?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] malinois16:
No they are not the same. The openings however are about the same as your picture.

Thanks! I'm stuck waiting on if there will be a white nexus 5 or not. Id get the grey if there is and the black if there isnt. bah. haha
[Nexus 5 Accessories] seanerixon:
This is the one I have: http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s4-case-slim-armor.html

The backing is hard. The black part is softer, but still hard. It's not the most protective case in the world, and the lip on the front isn't really noticeable(meaning you can scratch the screen when the phone is laying face-down). But hands down, one of the best looking cases! It's also feels nice in the hand. But when you drop it, it shows. I dropped it once from hip level, and the back is scratched up pretty bad.

SPIGEN SGP Slim Armor White

I ordered mine with Amazon Prime and rcvd it 2 days ago. I'm loving it so far. Can't wait to actually put it on my phone!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] adrian089:
My champagne gold slim armor and screen protectors arrived today from amazon, stoked.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Huey85:
ordered this too.. good lord it looks fantastic. classy meets functional.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
My brother has the same one for his gs4, and it's nothing but business svelte. It hardly looks like there's a case on the phone itself.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] K0WAWA:
dammnnn look at 'em sexy back! but from the spec it looks like it will add 2mm to each width.. seems quite a lot for small hand user like me.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jeimygirl:
Just ordered the Ultra Hybrid and the Slim armor last night. The Slim Armor has an arrival date of 10/1 and the Ulta Hybrid 10/6. They were both ordered Through Amazon (Prime) and from "Spigen" as the seller.

Oh and the cases are 20% off right now! So both cost me $24.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] wngmv:
I'm trying to decide between Ultra Fit and Neo Hybrid....Neo Hybrid has a hell of a look but Ultra Fit is slimmer (I think) and half the price...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PRoyal22:
siostil david

Standing between "slim armor" and "neohybrid".

Metallic buttons would be better than gumy ones. "slim" looks like gum.

can you help to clarify "chillaxnphilx"? and is the case plastic or gum?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trent25:
It seems like the only other ultra hybrid that they make is for the iPhone, which has a flat back

Do you guys think the N5's back curvature will work for the clear back, ie distortion in clarity or pressure along center vertical line :confused:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sn0warmy:
Ordered the 16GB Nexus 5 a couple hours ago and just ordered the Neo Hybrid (Satin Silver). Gonna be a perfect combo. Can't wait.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] chillaxnphilx:
The colored portion is obviously plastic and the best I can describe the black piece is pretty rigid TPU that feels much like the back of a Nexus 7 and all the edges and small detailing are really clean. The flexibility of the black piece is a lot like the Diztronic Matte TPU for the Nexus 4 (that's the closest I could describe it). So I guess to answer your question, in my opinion its not quite gummy cuz to me gummy is a softer rubber feel whereas this one is closer to the feel of the buttons on a TV remote.

Sorry if this isn't helpful. Everybody has their own idea of rigid vs gummy.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] langhaardack:
So I've ordered one of those and now I'm wondering if it will come with a screen protector. I understand that the Ultra Hybrid comes with one, but i didn't find any info on this one..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] daLareid:
Do you guys think the ultra hybrid could make it much more bulkier? I'm buying this because it looks pretty sturdy, protective and it comes with a free screen protector, now that's a great deal.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RayLancer:
As much as I want the Neo Hybrid case, from my experience with 2 cases I got from them for the Samsung Galaxy S4 has been... not too great. The one my sister had ended up breaking near the charger port area due to the thin plastic around there. They eventually revised it and made it thicker around the area but from the pictures on Amazon this may end up having the same issue. Both cases, while looking nice, ended up having the glossy paint finish wearing down, so you get areas of glossy and areas of matte. Not a pretty sight. May end up getting a Ultra Hybrid instead. Or a Slim Armor.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mZimm:
EDIT: Looks like others have pointed this out in the thread, but I'll leave this here anyway.

Not sure why this one isn't showing up on the SPIGEN website or on the OP, but I think it's worth pointing out that they also have the Ultra Fit case for the Nexus 5 for only $10:

http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-Google...3467&sr=8-3&keywords=spigen+ultra+fit+nexus+5

also comes with a free screen protector if you purchase on ebay:

its cause now its fulfilled by amazon when i bought it, it shipped from spigen. check amazon.ca theres a spigen canada seller now some products fulfilled by amazon.ca with prime
[Nexus 5 Accessories] anthonyly:
weird cause i just ordered from the link that was posted in the first post... and i live in toronto...

but didn't get free shipping thats all
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DanP47:
Yep, there's a gap with the Neo Hybrid as well. That's just how it will be though because of the curve of the phone unless you use a really slim case that hugs the phone or a skin.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Asch:
Are you using this case right now? Couldn't find it under that thin air name. http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00EV8Y50S/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=electronics
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
I have the slim armor, the neo hybrid, the ultra hybrid, and a slim air in black. I switch them up all the time.

I'm currently waiting for the full clear thin air to show up at my door, to try with dbrand skins.

The one you posted I have and use often at work. It is very thin, and fits very well in my suit pants pocket.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bynodeapps:
I got to ultra hybrid too, sad to say the back cover is FAR FROM scratch proof... after 2 days, it looks like it had been thru warzone... i am ordering Neo Hybrid now.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] derukun:
I hear the Neo Hybrid is a slippery little *****, not very grippy at all... good luck!

I actually cancelled my Neo Hybrid order for a Slim Armor instead, since it appears the power button issue has been fixed in the new stock spigen is sending out to Amazon.

Just ordered it, will report back if there are any problems with the case or not.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bynodeapps:
Read somewhere that Neo Hybrid has the same microusb port problem (too small), hmm maybe i should go with slim armor + mirror slim protector...

Hello, the neo hybrid is Protective for the screen? Is Protective as a cruzerlite? Thanks

I have a new batch power button. While it doesn't constantly hold down the power button, it doesn't give any real feedback.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Gorgtech:
I´ve contacted Spigen Germany through Amazon because of the missing serial number and got very fast and friendly responses. Spigen vouches for the product to be genuine and not a fake one. I´m going to receive a replacement sheet with a proper serial number printed on it and also a free TPU layer.

Spigen asked me if I had any trouble with the power button, I could not answer this question yet since I´m still waiting for my device. Just to make sure I got a perfect case, I´ll get a free TPU layer for the Slim Armor.

In my opinion, this is a professional way to respond to customers and a sign that Spigen actually cares about the issue with the power button and tries to improve it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] abdel12345:
I just got mine today, the slim armor, and it looks really nice and elegant. I'm happy I went with it. Now I just need my phone lol
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Taubin:
After seeing the earlier image, I've ordered the dbrand vinyl and Spigen Ultra Hybrid, I can't wait til they get here. I had already ordered the case, but seeing the vinyl, I had to get that also.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] xxslashxx:
Its been 8 days now since I've ordered my case and still has not shipped out. Im starting to think this is a giant scam. No shipment notification and theyre not responding to my emails. Guess I'll have to stop by my bank tomorrow to have this disputed.

I received a clear ultra thin air today from spigen, so much better than the ultra hybrid for a very REASONABLE price! Love that it protects the lips of the phones compared to other thin cases.

Well worth my money!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Ionakr:
Got my ultra Hybrid today, and it's gorgeous!!! Nice feel in the hand, not slippery and feel solid, the power button is very sensitive but no issue with it. The thing that i love more is the prints for the back. can't wait to print my own :) any suggestion for them? Who have tried?

By the way i'm sorry for my english, Italian guy here :p
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fredfox_uk:
Gotta agree the back doesn't provide much in the way of grip but I don't have an issue with the plastic sides, I've got the blueish gray sides if that makes a difference.

Definitely adds bulk but then it's pretty clear that it's going to just by looking at the picture and measurements.

My biggest dislike is the opening around the headphones socket, just seems to big :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shr33kant:
Hi Everybody - I have come here today to talk about the Ultra Hybrid case and it's screen protector that comes provided.

1. The buttons for the power and volume are annoying as ****. So I just cut them right out (see pics).

2. Anyone using a screen protector will need to shave down the inside edges (with a very sharp blade) of the case to stop the case pushing up your screen protector - SGP decided that they would make a screen protector that fits so close to the edges of the damn phone that when you put a case on it, you'll want to go punch them for putting the two things in the same packaging.

After making these two modifications to the case however I am much more satisfied as I can now use the nice normal buttons on the phone and the screen protector can also stay on (I personally like Dry application screen protectors because it doesn't feel like my phone wants a spanking for wearing too much rubber).

The case doesn't feel like it's going to come off any easier than it did before either. I imagine there are people who will be able to do these mods a lot easier and neater than I have but it's just something I wanted to bring to people's attention.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _ekceZ_:
holy ****

:eek::eek::eek:

why dont u taken/shape something from the inside of the buttons ?

[MENTION=502223]screen[/MENTION] protector

i cant confirm ur problems .... my protector is 1mm away from the case/lips (all sides!)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] yeahmon:
Have you had the "Oh crap, I wish I wouldn't have done that" moment yet? :cowboy:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shr33kant:
Not gonna lie...I tried to just cut the buttons out but my stanley knife slipped and I wound up with a cut all the way from the bottom to the top. I also discovered it was much more difficult to push the buttons on the side I didn't **** up on so I compared the rigidity of the case to where I had a strip of rubber connecting to where I didn't and it didn't really feel that much different. At this point I decided "that's it, OFF WITH IT'S HEAD!" and cut the whole thing out to the bottom (as per the first screen shot) so that the edge of the case was also level with the side of the phone, making it easier to push the buttons.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] NuxMortis:
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...)

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

Hmm, I got those problems too, these cases / protectors seem to be different sized... different batches?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] LittleBigTit:
Does spigen send you a free band if the plastic part of the neohybrid breaks (at the bottom where the plastic is really slim)?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mlk1:
I ordered my Slim Armor from Spigen's UK eBay store (their username is spigensgpuk). It took a while to arrive but they sent out the boxed version but also sent another TPU case in the envelope. I just assumed the extra TPU case they sent was a replacement for the power button defect and put it on. I didn't have a problem with the power button being too sensitive but did have a problem with there not being much feedback when pressing it. This morning I tried the TPU case that was in the box and that fitted perfectly and I've got good feedback from all the buttons. :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AHomelessGuy:
My replacement Spigen Slim armor came in the mail today, heres some pictures

http://imgur.com/a/4fHlH

They seem to have made the power button/ volume rocker require more force compared to the old one. I could almost say its a little TOO much force now required to activate the buttons.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] buzzmcfly:
wow they are making an ultra hybrid CRYSTAL CLEAR?!? guess need to wait for that instead of buying ultra thin air :good:

Received my spigen ultra hybrid case today. Already printed out a custom cut out for the back, love the look and if I get bored of this image I love how easy it will be to change it up.

Not loving the power button, zero feedback when pressed. No accidental presses though so I guess it's not that bad, plus I have double tap to wake enabled through the latest bricked kernel. Strange enough, the volume buttons don't suffer the same problem, they have a definite click when pressed.

Went with no case for two weeks without incident. Within hours of having this case I dropped the phone about 3 feet onto hardwood floor. Took it like a champ, I am confident this case will protect my precious nexus 5!

Is there a link to this case? I can't seem to find it on Amazon or Spigens site.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] FoCsU:
Have to ask:

Where do you think the problem riginally lies with the power button issue?

On my SlimArmor the button in the TPU is so big that it is kinda like jammed in the opening of the harder layer,

so I kind of thought making the opening a bit larger on the harder case would correct the issue?

Could you take a comparison shot of the 2 TPU's side by side from the outside of the power button, is there a size diffference?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FloppyDrive:
I got one of the first Slim Armor cases directly from Spigen and never had any problems with it. Guess I was lucky. My only issue is that the plastic part makes the back rather slick and I feel like I might drop my phone because of it. I think a full hard rubber case would be better.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Tregan:
I've searched this thread, but couldn't find an answer, so here goes:

Could anyone with a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case measure the dimensions of the case? I can't find them anywhere and my Ultra Hybrid is still underway.

Thanks! :)

Neo Hybrid works brilliantly with SE215, if using the mic/remote cable from Shure. I have both. The UE900 cables from Logitech also look like they'll fit and I know they're compatible.

I finally got my phone and after putting the skim armor on it seems harder to press power button not easier. It's a good protective case overall and barely adds any bulk buy it is very difficult to remove and put on. I'll probably order an ultra hybrid one later.

I got my Ringke Fusion today (ordered on 1st November....) and I gotta say it fits a lot better with no mods in regards to the screen protector and the button feedback is fantastic, they're nice and clicky. Instead of mauling your SGP case like I did; I'd recommend the Fusion instead.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] funky_snowman:
To those having issues with the screen protectors, placement has to be pretty much perfect. You can actually slowly massage the dry install protectors around the screen even after installation, which is what I had to do to get placement such that the case didn't peel up the edges.
