Oh I know, I read those but someone asked what the "button issue" was so I was just informing him.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] wyrman:
Sorry. Well the buttons work just fine now. It's just a piece of crap. LOL
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mr mystery:
Just got home, mine was delivered today. No issues with mine at all. About the only thing I see as a problem is it's the black model and a finger print magnet. Fits good and no button issues. I'm happy with it.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ximaginex:
Wait what? Its a piece of crap? D:

What's wrong with it? Cause if it sucks that bad, then I need to find a new case for when i get my device.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] stilljk:
After reading this thread, it gives me hope for this case. I skipped out on it and got the ultra hybrid because of the power button issue. I might just order this soon. Thanks ppl for your updates.:thumbup:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mr mystery:
Spoke too soon. Mines powering my phone on at random now. Back it goes. No more Spigen for me.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rillo561:
I'm happy with mine but my 'button issue' is the power button is too sensitive. I haven't noticed any reboots or anything though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ahfunaki:
I wouldn't say it's any more of a fingerprint magnet than the phone itself. They have a very similar feel.

I've been using mine for a few days and haven't had a single issue with it. I really like it...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] wyrman:
Aside from it being all scratched up it works ok. There still seems to be a power button flaw if you read "mr mystery's" post. I wont deal with junk like this.

EDIT: Just shipped it back
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ximaginex:
Damn it... And I was so psyched when they said they fixed everything. Now I need to find another dual layer case to use.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jjc5891:
I can probably chime in here for a bit. For some background, I never really had a problem with my slim armor (black) case except when I first got it, the power button was very sensitive. No random reboots ever, and over the past week or two of usage, it actually improved. I contact Spigen early when it was more sensitive and they sent me a new inner TPU which I received today and I'm happy to share the differences. They definitely changed the buttons as you can see from the photos, but with the new TPU, the buttons are now much harder to press and there really is no "click" feedback like I had with the original TPU. If sensitivity is your problem, then the new TPU will work great for you. Personally, I actually like the way my old TPU feels now after being broken in; not too sensitive anymore and buttons have nice feedback.

Also, the photos were taken with my old iPhone 3gs, not my Nexus 5 if you were wondering about the quality...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rillo561:
Thanks for this, I've gotten used to it TBH but this is good info nonetheless.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] edgeicator:
As someone with both the old and new TPU insert, I prefer the old one, even with the sensitive power button. I've been trying to shave off the power button nub on the inside to reduce its sensitivity. The new insert requires too much force to actuate, imo. Anyone try to cut the new TPU buttons so that they're only attached on the front side and are like a flap, similar to how the old TPU was cut? I'm hoping that this would make the new TPU not require so much force to activate the buttons.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DdragonPT:
I was thinking of cutting the new TPU piece to make it flap-alike (similar to the first case), but I am afraid of ruining it. Have you, or anyone done it? I need some feedback xD

Like this one

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Taubin:
I figured it out. Thanks for the template!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] daLareid:
Thanks a lot for this helpful guide, but is there a chance there might be a way to do this with Paint or any other freeware image editors? I do not own Photoshop unfortunately.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Taubin:
You can use Gimp to do the same thing, with the template. You can download it from gimp.org
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Reio:
Made this background with the template a nexus wallpaper. Trying to imitate the nexus 4, maybe if i can get it printed on a glossy paper it might shine LOL.

i.imm.io/1kPC4.png
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lovidore:
How do you guys print it so that it scales with the size of the nexus 5? Do you print straight from photoshop/gimp?

What options do you select?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] deolarte:
Print it with Photoshop using the template. I also always use photopaper and cut with an xacto knife. I will try to post mine later.

Hey everyone, I have a few custom made wallpapers in Photoshop, I'm a designer and I have some nice designs. Some abstract stuff is all, if anyone would like to make backplates from these I'd be glad to make them for you :)

PS: i have more, and sorry if the upload isnt supposed to be done this way, first time posting images
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jyouri:
If anyone wants to try to print without wasting ink, I slightly modified OPs original PDF so that when you print it it gives you just outline of the backplate.

can somebody tell me how could to cut it nicely and perfectly ?

And whats the recommended paper ? photopaper or what ?

maybe you can give more instruction,etc. on the page one

btw thanks alot for the existence of this thread :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ehcool:
The Template has been modified per user request to include an outline also the gray background has been hidden by default

Also really loving these designs keep it up people :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Falconite:
did you mean i just need to post a pic that i want here ?

and then you ll give template and i have to print out that ?

so how to could cut it nicely and what paper you prefer ?

sry i dont get it :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] milleirish:
Would you recommend using photo paper or will the photo begin to come off and bleed off on the plastic after while?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ptitbull:
It looks really good :D

You print on glass paper, mat paper or normal paper ?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ehcool:
Sorry dude that was just a update but heres some advice

- Use an x acto knife or a pair of good scissors to cut it out

- Use cardstock or photo paper for the best results.

Pro Tip: If you want to save some money go to one of those photo kiosk and print your image out on 4x6 photo it should work out pretty well and be cheaper than printing them out yourself
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Falconite:
ok im gonna try it tomorrow maybe

because my case gonna arrive tomorrow :D

Hi everyone,

I love my Nexus 5 in my new Spigen Ultra Hybrid case.

I really tried to make my own backplate, but I can't...

I was not able to use Photoshop... I just can't, never used it before.

So, I don't know if it is ok to ask or if I have the right to ask, but...

Can someone, PLEASE make a backplate so I can use it in my case, using the file attached???

I will be really thankful.

I believe it is quite simples for those who are used to work with psd files.

Hope someone can help me. If so, how can I print it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vaibhav.ravi:
Mate, Photoshop isnt that hard, keep at it and you'll get it right :)

And its totally fine to ask for what you need, we're here to help.

I've attached a backplate as a pdf to maintain size, just print as is and it should work fine :)

and you're welcome :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Tarun95:
Will these work on ringke fusion as well ? If not can someone guide me on how to make such stuff for ringke fusion

Hey guys. So yeah , I'm new to the website, and I would like to join the community. A good friend of mine brought me here, since I just bought a nexus 5 with a spygen case. I'm really into these things, I mean custom backplates, skins, customizing. Sadly, I'm not good with Photoshop or any other editing program, I've never had any reason to use them before, so I don't know them at all. I did download Photoshop though and tried the steps, but I couldn't have a good result :eek: I had my image on the template, but I couldn't really resize it properly, with the camera part and all that stuff.

I've seen you people helped some guys, creating the backplates they wanted..but that's not what I'm asking for. I would like , if possible, to have someone so kind to explain to me how to do it, maybe with just few more details. A private message would be as good as a public post, I don't mind.

I'd like to create many custom plates, not just once, that's why I would need to know how to do it by myself, to not rely on you everytime..and to share them with you too :D

Okay, I know I wrote much haha and I know I'm asking much, but that would be so kind of you.

Thank you in advance guys, and keep up the good work :good::good:
