[Nexus 5 Accessories] ITotem:
So here's the Spigen Ultra Fit Crystal Shell case I got from Amazon. It's listed as SPG10650. I emailed Spigen and they told me it's the same as the one they have listed on their website under "Ultra Thin Air / SGP10661" moniker. Interestingly enough, the "Ultra Thin Air" on their website has 2 cutouts for the flash and camera lens. The one on Amazon (and the one I got) clearly shows only one cutout.

Full set of close-up pictures are posted on my G+ account: plus [dot] google [dot] com/photos/106816709227067475451/albums/5955319641245203713

If you look closely, you can start understanding why the case lights up when the flash is used. Due to how close the lens/flash cutout is to the actual flash, there's not enough space for the light to diffuse properly. As such, the light from the flash hits the case and lights the whole thing up when you use it.

I'm not an avid photographer so I may not have the most discerning eyes... but based on the couple pictures I took, the case lighting up doesn't seem to affect the pictures that much, if at all.

PROS:

- the clear case looks beautiful. It looks much better in person than in pictures. In pictures, based on lighting conditions, the reflection on the clear case may make it look cheap. In real life, it looks sleek and glossy, like a brand new car would.

- the case adds just enough weight with not much additional size which makes the phone easier to grip and hold

- the case actually protects the top and bottom of the phone, unlike the other matte colored options

- Taking pictures with flash on seems to work fine even though your case lights up

- Power and volume buttons are easy to use since they are not covered by the case

- The case offers about 1 mm lip protection so you can put your phone face down knowing that it shouldn't get scratched

- I don't really use in-line headphones so I can't test the width of the headphone jack hole... but it looks big enough to fit most jacks

CONS:

- Though you may like how smooth the case is (it feels like a Nokia phone to the touch), some may not like it. It doesn't have the type of grip other more rubbery cases would give you and will feel slippery

- Since the case is glossy, if you are a neat freak, you won't like how easy it get smudges... but unless you constantly look at it in clear light, you may not notice it (at least not so much on the WHITE Nexus 5)

- Though it feels solid and tight in hand, if you press any of the sides, you will get a little of give (which is kinda normal if you ask me)

- Any dust or other imperfections will glow and show up through the case in the dark when you leave the flash light on

- This is me being nit picky... but I wish the Spigen logo was on the side of the case like how SUPCASE do on their Super Beetle Premium Hybrid case. It would keep the clean look of the Nexus intact.

I will keep this case on for a week and will then test out the SUPCASE Super Beetle Premium Hybrid case.

Also, I did buy the Spigen Glass t Nano slim but won't put it on for a while (so please don't ask me if it fits) until I get word on a fix for the "static noise bug while recording" issue. I don't feel like putting something nice on if I end up having to RMA my phone later down the road.
