Nope it isnt you! My guess is that the revisioned case cause they caught the flash issues or cause we reported it with the first batch and thats why they pushed back the shipping date to the end of November. But it is odd that the picture on the OP has the single cut out I thought it had 2 cut outs pictured when I bought it... unless Im confused?? anyhow quite a few of there products went that way, from the looks of it spigen has quite a few products they had to revision this time around.... Sucks that the customers had to suffer the faulty products and have to wait it out for a proper one but im sure we'll get one. I hope..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] SedyBenoitPeace:
Well at this point i have luck because i don't have yet the nexus 5 and then i didn't order the case...for me this is the best case for this great phone! Is really slim and it saves the aspect of the phone without increasing the thickness like the Ultra Hybrid (that IMHO is also a great case!)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ynrozturk:
So get a case to protect the case. Then another case to protect the other case.

Who cares if the case gets scratched, that's what it's there for.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] biggiestuff:
how can you tell if you have the flash hole issue? If your phone lights up like a christmas tree than you have the issue?

Exactly

Yea I think it lighting up like that is a big issue but im not sure if the flash back issue is affecting all of them. Take pictures with flash on in dark settings, up close pictures and mid distance and far away and see if you see any flash back to be sure.

Spigen Just emailed me and said they will be sending me out a new Crystal Shell case that has been tested for quality issues before hand to ensure it works. Hopefully its soon cause they said "as soon as its tested"
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Batfink33:
Yeah, I ordered that case and the picture they showed lied as it doesn't cover the top and bottom. I emailed them saying this and they told me to send it back and they will refund me. To be honest I can't be bothered to send it back as it was only £4.Ive ordered the Spigen Crystal today so the cheap one will do me until it arrives.

Dbrand skins will really shine through this case. Very tempted. But I already have the ultra hybrid. Hmm.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] biggiestuff:
Definitely like the feel of this case over the ultra hybrid. It's got a slimmer profile and the ability to feel the ceramic buttons seals the deal. Hopefully they send me the revision case because I notice the white reflection in the corner of my photos now. It's a finger print magnet but so was the ultra hybrid. I may put one of those xtremeguard protectors on the back just to give it some grip.

Do keep in mind that these Spigen Crystal cases are identical to ones found on eBay for $1. It's been the case for their crystal and slim cases for quite some time now.

[MENTION=460014]Nocturnal[/MENTION]. Did you resolvr the issue of the case lighting up?

I just had mine yesterday. And yes pics are wash out if you use flash. Case light up if its on. And camera and flash cut outs are not properly aligned. It also made the phone slippery to hold. I wish they made it with the same material as the phone.

Where should i complain for this?

I was thinking of just getting diztronic.

im confused as to the issues people are talking about. this case never came out until the 22nd (TODAY). all websites that were up have been preorders for todays release date. mine just came in today and i'll be home in a bit to try it out. i'll report back in a few hours and let you guys know how great it is.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
You are misinformed if you go back into this post you can see my pictures.. The case was released earlier in a "short run" you could say and those had issues so I guess they pulled it and then pushed the "release" to the 22 for the revised model the same thing happened with their (glass screen protectors and slim armor). Plenty of people including me bought and received this case a while ago now were just waiting for the revised version as a replacement because of the flashback issues and bad cutouts.

In the official spigen site: http://www.spigen.com/brands/google/nexus-5/nexus-5-case-ultra-thin-air.html

SGP10661 has two separates cutout for camera and flash.

In Amazon: Spigen Google Nexus 5 Case Slim [Ultra Fit] [Crystal Shell]

SGP10650 has only a cutout for both camera and flash.

In eBay, Spigen Ultra Fit [CRYSTAL SHELL] Case for Google Nexus 5

The image shows two separates cutout for camera and flash, so it should be SGP10661.

Does anyone buy and receive SGP10650 which has only a cutout for both camera and flash?

Besides, Spigen sell a new crystal case now: Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case [CRYSTAL CLEAR] for Google Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
No not yet the case with one cut out for both is the revised case that we should be receiving as replacements and what people that order the case should be getting now. The 2 cut out case was faulty.

mine is the same way. when i take a pic at night at the bar, my whole phone lights up like a Christmas Ornament. i can't tell for sure, but i think it is making a glare when i take pics. gonna have to keep experimenting.

and im not a fan of the muggy/slippery feel it gives the phone. if you hands are sweaty or get sweaty while holding phones, it makes the phone feel nasty almost.

scratches on the edges

I hear from reviews that the case scratches the edges of the phone while installing and removing the case.

Is it true? If we are careful enough can we prevent this ? Or is it just too tight?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
I believe the reviews are for the black slim one.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] primetimelive:
I just recently got my Spigen Crystal Shell Ultra Fit case. It is the one with the revision number SGP10650 (SPG181113)

So far, I like the look of the case. It does light up like a Christmas tree when the flash is on. Here are a few comparision pics with the matte white version which I also have.

The two cases with the Nexus 5 naked.

Nexus 5 with the Spigen Ultra Fit White

Nexus 5 with the Spigen Ultra Fit Crystal Shell

Here's what the Crystal Shell looks like with the flash on. (Used the app Galaxy Torch to simulate a flash)

Picture was taken in the dark, just to highlight the Christmas tree effect.

My quickie review:

Pros:

Case covers and protects all four sides of the phone

Shows off the Nexus logo

Thin, minimalist design doesn't add too much bulk to the phone

Cons:

Case shows off fingerprints

Lights up like a Christmas tree when flash fires.

Overall:

Like the case better than the white matte because it shows off the Nexus logo on the back. I just wish it wasn't much of a fingerprint magnet.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
awesome. does the flashing affect pictures? what if no flash is used, does it affect? lol. was this the one from ebay or amazon?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] primetimelive:
Here are some quick pics I took with and without the case.

With case: (Left picture flash off, Right flash on - Normal lighting conditions)

Without case: (Left picture flash off, Right picture flash on - Normal lighting conditions)

Pictures shot in dark: (No flash, without case, with case)

I tried to take pics with the same viewpoint as much as I could. I was too lazy to set up my tripod. :)

If you look closely, you might notice that the flash is a bit diffused on the pictures where the case in on. I for one like having a bit of a diffused flash when taking pics so that it doesn't look too harsh when taking photos. If I was Spigen, I'd look into making some sort of flash diffuser attachment or mod for their cases. (frost/different colours)

I bought the case from Amazon.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
thank you. I do like the case and I'm not a avid picture taker. So flash shouldn't be a problem for me.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] primetimelive:
You'll get a lot of compliments.

The phone looks great enough as it is, this is just great protection while showing off the phone.

Dude what do you expect a rugged case? It's plastic it's ment for small bumps and scratch protection not for drops. It's not a rugged case and isn't advertised as one and anyone with any sense can see it's not a case ment for maximum protection....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] primetimelive:
These cases can protect your phone. Once I get some time I'll post up some pics.

I had the matte white Spigen Ultra Fit on my phone before this clear one and I can say that the case protected my phone from a waist high drop from my pocket. The case was scratched, but my phone was OK. Granted it might be because of the angle of the fall, but still the phone fared better than the case.

Another thing to note is that this case covers all four sides of the phone. The Ultra Fit ones expose the top and the bottom of the phone.

We all pick what type of case we want to and up on our phones. Heck, even some people don't put cases on their phone. It's all a preference thing.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rice-CHRISpies:
So what's the final verdict on this cover? Does it or does it not scratch the phone when putting it on? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] biggiestuff:
No scratches for me although I don't use it anymore since I just put an extremeguard on the back for grip. The case could get a little slippery at times from the oil build up. Waiting on the revised edition of the case to come in.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] biggiestuff:
Case still lights up for me as well but the pictures i took weren't affected much if at all. I noticed on the ultra hybrid case that the case would light up as well. It's just not as noticeable because you can't see past the grey/black bumper. Regardless I'm caseless now but my fiancee is a clutz so she is keeping the revised version. She likes it MUCH better than the ultra hybrid because of less bulk and allows you to see the beauty of the white phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] blackdragoon:
I contacted Spigen again and they were asking for more pictures. I was taking some just now, with and without the case and they actually seem better now. I guess maybe the LED lined up better with the cutout so it didn't get reflected enough to affect the images. Seems to be good now.

I have the neo hybrid too, and I can see that it would provide better protection, but yeah, kinda sucks that it covers up the beauty of the white back.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crazyalaa:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] rice-CHRISpies:
For those that have experienced scratches with the case, do you have the matte or glossy sides? I just received this case today and have taken it off and on 3 times now and there aren't any scratches. My Nex5 is the black version with matte sides. I was just really careful and bent each side of the case out a bit before inserting the phone. I've never seen the white/glossy Nex5 in person buy I can see how the glossy surface can be more susceptible to scratches.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] klin1344:
If there are scratches, where do they happen on the phone? In the other thread for the ultra slim, some people have put tape on the corners of their phones and it prevents scratches.

For those of you who have been using this case for a few months now, how has it held up? I like the idea of it being crystal clear, but imagine that it would scratch over time though hopefully I'm wrong
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Like any clear plastic case it will scratch up depending on how you treat it or use it of course. But overall its held up pretty well and is a little more scratch resistant than cheap clear cases and also the fact that I take care of my phone in a case or out of one can play a part. But I used if for a while till recently when I just decided to go for a more protective case but I still switch to it when I want the slim clear look.

Has anyone thought of putting this thing on top of Slickwraps skins? One of the issues that I've seen with of Slickwraps skins is that the pieces usually don't meet at the intersections hence exposing the edges and you get gaps around the phone. Over time they would get lifted up no matter how careful you are. If you ever own one of these skins, you'd know what I'm talking about. I want to protect the skin edges so that the gaps are not exposed to touch while still showing of what's underneath the shell. I don't usually care about cases getting scratches which they do especially with hard plastic ones because I'm trying to protect the phone, not the case. For those who concern about cases getting scratched up, consider other options. It is what it is no matter how careful you are.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Slick wraps skins hang over the edge. The dbrand ones that are a bit smaller fit perfectly.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Actually lot's of people are rocking Slickwraps with cases, in fact we sell clear cases for this reason. We have the most precise and closet edge to edge fit on the market, if applied correctly the edges will not peel up. We do offer free replacements if this we're an issue.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] k20-:
They might if you really want to apply lots of heat and stretch them real hard which is a bad idea because they will spring back when temp. drops and would pop faster.

Take a look at this Youtube video even from the official Slickwraps doing it and it's clearly showing gaps around the edges.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] powerj_sk:
No, if you're really careful when putting it on. I've had it for 3 months now and no scratches at all. However, this case atracts lots of skin oil and fingerprits and lint gets between the phone and the case so you have to take it off regularly to clean it. Otherwise, pretty OK.

Yes, even if you are really careful, 4-5 months down the like the case will scratch even the soft matte black sides, because I keep removing it to clean the inside when it's accumulated with dust.

It is possible to go back the unrooted state by using the LG tools and flashing the phone back to the original firmware. It will return the phone back to original status.
