Got the Ringke Fusion since yesterday.

I can compare the Spigen Ultra hybrid und the Fusion, as I have them both.

Pros:

Fits good, the cut outs are perfect. It's slimmer than the Ultra.

The buttons can be used like on the naked N5, same feedback, not that sharp edges though (better imo).

The material of the Fusion feels a bit smoother than that of the Ultra, the front edges are a little bit sharper.

The clear back seems to be a bit harder and more scratch resistant (until now).

Cons:

The Fusion fixes not the rattling power button.

The quality seems not that good, there are some spots, which seem to be bad glued (or whatever treated) between the bumper and the back.

The N5 feels not that good protected like in the Spigen (which is softer and bulkier).

Conclusion:

I like the Fusion more than the Ultra because of the buttons and its slimness.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] GSLEON3:
AGREED! The Spigen is not as nice in hand, it is a slightly harder composite. I also like the buttons on the Ringke version better. It is hard to find the buttons on the Spigen, since they are flush. I also like the slight back curvature of the Ringke better, whereas the Spigen is flat.

I will however say that if debugging is on, the Ringke activates the power button bug capture feature much more often than the Spigen. In all however, I choose the Ringke over the Spigen.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] floepie:
Thanks for the comparison. Would there by any way you could take similarly positioned photos of each of the cases? Is the black rim around transparent window on the back of the case comparable in size between the two? In other words is the window larger on one or the other?

If the Ringke is slightly curved, can you rock it back and forth when placed on a flat surface?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bleys43:
No, the clear back isn't curved, the black bumper is beveled where it meets the clear back. It's actually a really nice and smooth join if two different materials. Additionally, there are little nubs or feet at the corners, so when you lay it face-up on a surface, the clear back doesn't touch.

Over all, the build quality is very impressive, the cut outs are perfect, and the buttons feel just like a naked phone, except for a gentle rebound, which feels like an improvement.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] balla786:
Wonder how wide the audio jack hole is?

I have audiotechnica m50's and the 3.5mm jack is a wider design one. I have the Spigen Ultra and it's way too small to accommodate the headphone jack.

It's the one on the left: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8200/8218246616_5ae52c9b98_b.jpg (1/8 of an inch)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ryukiri:
just made my first design ;) they're my fav band, lol
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ej8989:
I just got the grey one and it looks very elegant. The buttons are also perfect. No wobbles at all. The clear back is a fingerprint magnet but this is still better than anything i had before (spigen neo-hybrid, capdase xpose, diztronic matte black)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] NuxMortis:
The Spigen's window is bigger, you can (barely) see it here:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bleys43:
No, I don't think that jack would fit the hole in the ringke. Honestly, I don't think any case would accommodate those wide jacks which are typical stereo aux cables. I have a similar cable I use when I connect hdmi to my monitor, to get the audio to my speakers, and that cable has never fit any case to any phone I have owned - otterbox, ballistic, Spigen, ringke, cruzerlite, tuvia, ionic, n4 official bumper, etc.

I've got my phone on order and won't see it for a couple more weeks, so I've been looking into some cases, this being one of them. I've just bought a hard screen protector - for those that have this case, does it look like a screen protector would work with it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bleys43:
I don't see this case interfering with any screen protector. It barely has any lip over the screen. By barely, I mean less than 0.1 mm. I have a Spigen steinheil screen protector on mine, and the 4 other cases I have cause the edges to lift a bit, but the ringke fusion doesn't contact it at all.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] NuxMortis:
It definitely doesn't interfere with a screen protector.

There gets even some dust collected on the small space between protector and the Fusion.

On the Spigen Ultra Hybrid the protector has to be perfectly in the middle of the N5 or it pushes its borders up.

Was a Spigen screen protector though, I don't know if there are different sizes of protectors of other companies.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] floxrin:
I received it today and it's not a bad case.

But, honestly, I don't have the same ''quality'' feeling with the case on, so I'll go naked for a while still.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] grndc2gsr:
After 2 weeks of use I have noticed a few specs of dust in the back cover but nothing too bad. I just took the phone out of the case and gave them a wipe and now they are clean.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bleys43:
Yeah, dust seems to migrate in from the headphone jack opening, but surprisingly not from the camera cut-out or USB opening. To be expected, and very simple to solve. Really love this case.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] miky1989:
Guys, I bought it too.. but have problem with headphones.. the case is too much higher and I can't insert it. What do you use? Exist any adaptor?

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Accessories] grndc2gsr:
I have the same problem with larger headphone jacks. I have only been able to fit very small headphone jacks. The few times I have needed to plug in larger jacks I had to take the phone out of the case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mrruin:
I just cut away the plastic on the headphone's jack a little bit to make them fit, that worked well enough.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lowtje:
This is a very nice case and I also have it for my nexus 4. The only problem is that the transparant back will somehow stick to the back of the phone at some area's (with the nexus 4 you got some "wet spots"). You guys have this too?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] miky1989:
Bought LG Quadbeat 2 headphones, it is compatible 100% with Ringke Fusion :)

[Nexus 5 Accessories] vinod.20r:
Thanks for the review guys.. I was about to buy a stupid capdase cover before i heard about this case.. Just brought it today and it feels really good to use.. In fact makes the fone look sexier :D Will try some cut outs soon.. Total VFM.. Thanks again :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
Anyone actually drop theirs on the corner yet? I thought it was going to have soft corners, but its actually pretty hard. Not sure much impact it can aborb.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] UberUrban:
I had posted this in another thread, though I doubt if anyone saw that. I've attached a few covers in a docx (not pdf, in case you want to edit). I took some of my favourite skins from this website that designs them for the iphone. So I had to resize and crop to match the nexus 5 dimensions. Took a bit of time.

I havent printed any out yet and tried it out with my Ringke case, so if anyone tries them out and they fit well, do let us know here :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sukkunida:
Like mine so far, price is fine :) also got some custom backs already :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
No problems with headphones fitting here, Shure IEMs I was certain weren't going to fit but they did. Also the phone no longer vibrates from the speaker, huge bonus!

Screen protectors should have no problems as long as they are not hanging off the edge as the lip does not wrap around the screen side of the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] murok9042:
Anyone who uses the ringke fusion with a glass screen protector?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
I would like to know this aswell^^^^ I have a nilkin and Im looking to get a Ringke fustion clear and just dont want it to interfere with the glass protector cause then it would be a waste. I have a Diztronic and it fits fine over the glass hoping the fusion will be the same?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] calubren:
Yes, here.

I have the Fusion and the Nillkin glass protector. There is no lifting of the glass. If you like, I make later in the day some photos of it.

And I am waiting for a clear Diztronic, because I like the back of my white Nexus.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Great thanks for the info! If I were you I look into the new clear fusion because the clear diztronic or any clear tpu will turn yellow over time and since the fusion is a hybrid it probably won't be susceptible to the yellowing or not as much.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Mythos123:
can u clarify "new clear fusion" ?

is it a new, updated version version of the Rearth Ringke Fusion case?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Yea looks like they went the route of spiegen and made a clear version of the Fusion and a mint color version aswell. I think I may pick up the clear and use a skin to show off the back.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sukkunida:
This looks great, might get it beside my normal Fusion :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bleys43:
Just installed my glas.tr nano, and I actually left my ringke fusion case on when I applied it. The case acted as a good guide to center the screen protector.

So, no interference at all, plenty of distance between the edge of the case and the screen protector.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] calubren:
Here are 3 photos taken with my N7.

The lifting around the proximity sensor is because I installed the glass not perfectly.

Second pic shows that there's a little space left.

Third pic is a better view of the top.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Suckers:
Great! I'm waiting my Ringke Fusion and I was wondering about wireless charging with this case because I don't wanna lose this functionality.

Also I will use it with a tempered glass which is on the way as well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jayrod1980:
Here's how you sort of prevent the wet spots. They give you a stencil that is a blue transparent color. It has a film on it. Peel the film off and put the film in the case. It is transparent and it will put a layer between the back of the phone and the case. Then you still get to enjoy the look of the back without the wet spots. To be clear, I'm talking about the film covering the stencil not the stencil itself.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

How rough are the bottom edges with this case? I have the gray one and we'll probably get the black one too but my gray has a sharp ridge along the chin if the phone. The black one in your picture doesn't look like it had that.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Martin-Doc:
I have the black one and had the same sharp ridge all around the case. A sharp pocket knife and 5 minutes of free time did the job well. Now it is smooth and feels good in the hand :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
Once you peel the origin film off both sides of the clear back you shouldn't get "wet spots" I don't think. The inner film on the clear back was especially hard to peel off but made a huge difference.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kifac:
I have the "Wet" spots on my phone and i just got the case literally 15 min ago. Love the case, feels nice in the hand. I would like to get rid of the wet spots on the back but w.e....its not like im always looking at the back of my phone aha
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sukkunida:
What u mean with 'on your phone'? I got no wet spots on the back, peeled also 2 Films from the case, inner and outer one, superb clear
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hottix:
Hi, I just got .. it is possible that there is not the protective film on the outside?

I have tried in many ways to remove it, I start to have doubts ..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bleys43:
The back should be perfectly clear. If it is blurry or frosty, then you have not yet removed one of the two protective films.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hottix:
I read about this, I tried using different instruments .... but I can not.:rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bleys43:
Have you tried scotch tape?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hottix:
Of course :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kifac:
Yeah its like the inside of the clear back is pressing up against the back of my phone and it makes like a "Wet" Spot. Kind of like if water is stuck between to hard surfaces.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TXRaunchy:
I ordered mine yesterday.

Will get it today, it is shipping from Ft. Worth, TX and I am in Dallas.

What a coincidence.:good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] xdm9mm:
thanks for the pics op, I have ordered one from amazon... while still waiting for my white 32gb N5...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
If you've removed both sides of protective film and this still happens I would think it must be some oil or dirt marks on either the phone or case. Try wiping them down.

People were having you're issue before it was made clear to remove both layers of protective film.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kifac:
I made sure to remove both film as i read the instructions thats came with the case. Ill give it a shot and wipe it down again
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zephiK:
Got the case today. replacing the slim as with the rearth slim has dust in between the hole between the outside interior and inside interior. Liking it a lot so far. Not too bulky and protects all around protection
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Giroyac:
Me and my brother also have this case, and we both have watermarks (3 spots) to be exact in the exact Same locations.

I'm pretty sure it'll only be visible on the black version of the nexus 5.. That's why some people will report otherwise (white version)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zephiK:
I have the wet spot too. The two on the bottom are the most noticeable. They're two black lines but it doesn't really matter much to me. Not a big deal but definitely would be nice if it wasn't there, not a big problem for me but that's just me.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
Thanks for sharing. I didn't realize the black version would react differently with the clear back. Something about the soft touch coating.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sipoputu:
Hello, I want to know if this case can interfere with a 0.3 mm tempered glass screen protector that I mount on my display, thanks

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
It will not interfere. The side of the case does not "hug" around the screen only protrudes a little.

Dropped mine on a wood floor, and smacked it face down on a rough carpet. No signs of wear yet.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] masim8:
Best case I got. All in one with the N5.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jly660:
can anyone confirm if a left-angle jack would fit? I like this case but the spacing for the 3.5mm jack is the only thing I'm worried about :l

^ picture of my left angle jack
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jerflash:
Case is the best case period! Sure it does get some dust underneath the clear back that you need to wipe out from time to time but that's it. Buttons feel great and the protection is all i will ever need. I am using it in conjuction with MIME ghost glass screen protector. Its only .15 mm thick and i would tell everyone to get it. best combo i have found and makes the phone awesome to use.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] adityameena26:
me too having 4 wet spots on back side of black N5 black fusion cover..already peeled off both films..still there are wet spots..someone help plzz..!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sipoputu:
These wet spots are on the Back or on the screen protector?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] jerflash:
tell you the truth i dont think people with the black nexus 5 should NOT get this case...the soft touch back is what is causing the issue. on my white nexus 5 i have no issues. If you have a black phone i dont really see the need for the see thorough case. Better off with the slim or another type of case
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
By my estimation it should just fit but it's close.

i ordered the grey one and a dbrand brushed gold skin and a carbon fiber white one when i get them ill post the results.

Ringke fusion DIY artwork template

I wish Rearth would make a template for all of us to make our Ringke fusion DIY Nexus 5 back covers... but as i was unable to find it, i attach one just made by miself, for use with Photoshop.

It's far from being perfect (as it was my first fast attempt to do it), but i hope it can be useful to someone.

Should anyone have any doubts on how to use it, please let me know :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
That's too bad. But to be fair none of those look like they were designed for mobile devices either just being old or meant for stationary use. The Jay's in question have the smaller, rounded rubberized bit sticking out underneath which is meant to fit the plug into smaller phone jacks. None of your examples have this.

It comes with a template does it not? All the reviews have shown it to do so, mine has and there is a card explaining the feature as well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
It's a shame. Not everyone wants to use small mobile headphone or headsets but prefer nice decent cans to listen to. All they had to do was increase the diameter by 1mm and it would have fit everything.

Picture I posted was to give you some idea of the size/depth in relation to the ruler so you can make your own estimates for your current needs.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gemini1971:
I'm sorry... i may have mislead you... indeed it comes with a physical template you can make at outline and draw on paper or whatever... but if you want to make a computer artwork, it simply won't do the job as nicely. With the photoshop template, you can easely make a computer artwork, and adapt it exactly to the cover, so you get a precise idea on how will it get once cut...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RockR172:
Modified it a bit with the official nexus logo at the back.. also included the vector of the logo in the zip should anyone want to change it's placing or stuff like that..

still kinda noob at photoshop.. :p

i don't yet have the case, will be getting the delivery tomorrow most probably..

can i just print this image and insert it behind the case(after doing the camera cutouts of course)? this is my first time owning a Ringke case.. ;)

EDIT: Added a new one which looks better ..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gemini1971:
I liked very much your 2nd file... thanks for the official Nexus 5 logo too.

As far as printing goes, maybe you have to enlarge the file a little bit... the original template was built for us to outline it, so it will be +/-1.5mm wider and taller. You better try a draft print to see how it fits before you make the final print ;)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sobanb:
After going through a few cases from Spigen and Ringke slim I decided on this. I absolutely love how tactile the buttons are even with this case on. It provides good amount of protection and looks really good too.

Now people like myself who don't enjoy the sharp edges of the case I did some modification that fixes that issue. Use a disposable razor and lightly go over the edges to remove the protruding rubber. Now the case will look shiny at the places where it is cut. To fix that I used 500 grit sand paper and sanded the edges down to get the matte texture back.

I am left with a perfect case that feels nice and smooth in the hand.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Charlann:
Yea I got the wet spots too, removed all the film.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Amo_rphis:
Just from curiosity,can someone who get this case on the phone from some time already,tell us about dust between the back of the phone and clear back of the case?

I ask this because I have a ringke fusion on my Nexus 4 and I always have to clean once per week, because in few days I get white annoying spots of dust beween back of the phone and case,and ,considering its a clear back also,looks like hell.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nishthecooldude:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] thoang1987:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] DeGygii:
did the same thing with the razor and sandpaper, i agree it's perfect now. but how did you color the "x" in nexus? looks really nice.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sobanb:
After seeing this: http://androidnews.co.in/2013/12/04/nexus-5s-nexus-letters-are-falling-off/ It gave me the idea maybe I can use this quality fault to my advantage. Basically the letters are held together with double sided tape. I used an xacto knife to take them out and individually colour them with acrylic paint. I glued them back in place using very tiny bit of super glue.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
yeah so i uhhhh got a tad order crazy on amazon and got another grey, a black, and a clear one. if the mint one was instead white i would have gotten all 4. the mint s wayy too girly for me.

i have a grey one that i "modified" or at least tried to get the sharp edge off and i wound up destroying it and scratching the inside of it with fine grit sand paper. kinda bummed considering ive had it for maybe 4 hours. i know go ahead and laugh. :crying:

ill have all 3 of them saturday evening. so ill try and post some photos of all of them.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] midgarsormr:
I bought a longer auxiliary cable a while back for another case that had a small opening. It works for the ringke case as well. I've always just modified the other cases before.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
Where did you go wrong? Thinking of trying to sand it down myself. Most people have said they used a razor and then some minor sanding after but I've yet to attempt it.
