Hi guys,
Just wanted to share a quick review of the SGP Ultra Capsule I was sent for review, it is a great TPU style case that fits snug onto your device and will offer pretty decent protection.
Watch the full review for more info:
Nice video, the case looks really good but that glitter is pretty much a deal-breaker for me.
Have it in white also
and i can say this is the best SGP case
unless you want the black color, dont worry about these glitter ! they are almost invisible unless you stare at the case right under your nose

Yeah, trust Jeandujardin's word and mine, you won't see it unless you look at it closely under light. I do have some more cases coming in so perhaps we'll find one you like.
Thanks for your comment and support
thanks for another great video, please review the ultra silke if you can

I wouldn't buy it if I were you. I made the mistake and I'm paying for it till my neo hybrid arrives. It's not too tight when you get it, but after a month the device freely moved in it, and there's a lot of space between the battery cover and the case. The matte finish which I liked so much about it is wearing off at the corners too. Holes are well aligned though, but it's lifespan is 2 months tops.
I have this case too and I have to say I really like it. Unlike other people, I actually like the minimalistic glitter. It makes the material feel more premium than generic rubber plastic.

Hey guys ,
Just shot this video on a pretty cool case. The only problem with this case for me is the colors. No matte, or no cases without the little sparkles on it, however still a pretty solid case
pd.- sorry for the bubbles on my screen! I just installed it lol
Enjoy!

Great review Raul. I had one of these a few weeks ago and they are beautiful, but it's on it's way back for a refund. It just wasn't quite sturdy enough and doesn't hug the device the way I like it.

I like the S-Line wave grip case I have, it's a slim case and doesn't add too much bulk and adds grip.
I've also got a SUPERGETS Dual layer case, but that adds a lot of bulk, it'll probably have more chance of saving my phone than the Sline but whats the point having a case when it makes you not want to use the phone?

Yes, it's my review. Why else do you think I posted it. I've yet to have anyone that has taken my advice disagree or complain. Read the review and read all the reviews on Amazon. The case is legit. It's my favorite all around case.

I am settled or I wouldn't be trying to answer your question. I don't get a damn thing if you buy the case. I don't really know how to answer the question other than it is about same as any other hybrid case I've used. Nothing that would drive me nuts.

Urban Armor Gear case hands down. I typically hate cases on my phones because I think it ruins the aesthetics and the feel of the device in your hand, but in my opinion the UAG enhances both.

There don't have the best case,yet better case, and it's all depends on everyone's sense,some like otterbox and also a lot love case-mate,and also some other brand-free case also impressive on design as well as other functions as you could see this one..
I think by far the best cases for smartphones is the SPG! I have the Spigen modello, top quality!

Here's a relatively new one that popped up on my radar. It's a TPU case with nice buttons and very good reviews, not only from a materials perspective but also with respect to button feedback. I think the honeycomb look adds a bit of subdued flair. Apparently the case is in fact black, but from the photo it looks ever so slightly green. Could be just the lighting. Looks very nice if you ask me!

Looks awesome. I tried buying it, but they won't ship to the US.

GOSH that looks sexy I especially love the way the case curves from the back to the sides so seamlessly! And it is translucent? if so, it would be even sexier!!! Some real life pics and review would be appreciated! hope they make more of these and make them available internationally, and more colors.
Also the dark green color does look nice I know its black, but still!!!
Love the look of this case so I emailed them just to see they'd be willing to ship to the states...
Dear Jason,
thank you very much for your inquiry and your kindly interest in our products.
Unfortunately we actually only sell our products within the EU and other european
countries. For logistical reasons concerning the customs clearance, we don't offer
shipping to the US. Thanks for your kindly understanding.
We are already thinking about selling our products on Amazon.com, too so that
US clients would be able to receive our cases within a few business days.
So maybe you will find our cases in your country in the near future.
Wish you a nice day.
Best regards.
Philippe

So maybe in the future, but not right now.
I ordered this case just because of your OP I have the ringke fusion, ultra slim and a nilkin shell And this case is BY FAR the best case I've ever had on a smartphone. Its REALLY slim, the fusion is actually bulkier and it offers a lot more protection than the fusion. It looks absolutely gorgeous and it feels even better. You have no fingerprints whatsoever and the bee thingy on the back feels really good. Its a bit harder than generic tpu cases, the whole case feels like the rubbered edges of the fusion only a lot better. So 10/10 I can gladly recommend this case to anyone. The buttons are also covered and feel great. If anyone wants pictures I can provide

tire, yes my thoughts exactly. I found a few tread cases for the GN and NS on ebay. Casemate only makes for the GS4 now. Any idea if they'll be available for the N5? I don't even want casemate's cases, even a generic case with a tread pattern will do.
**** i dig that case too, wish it was sold here in the states.

You say the buttons are great. How do they compare to the other cases? Do they give feedback, or a click of some sort? Some case button covers are too stiff, while others put so much pressure on the buttons that it becomes too easy to accidentally turn the phone on while in your pocket.
I guess i would pretty much compare it to the fusion if you have one.. If you don't have one for reference, it does get a teensy bit harder to press the button compared to naked(obviously), but its not really clicky.
Edit: the buttons are not hard to press and feel very natural, but as I said not as easy as without a case

It's the best case I've ever used
Not a single complaint. Nice feeling, grip, look, fit, material, ..
Just received mine. Looks and feels great but I found one major flaw already. The micro usb cutout is very small, just to fit oem N5 cable and it fits tightly. Any other cable (unless it has longer than usual metal part of micro usb plug) will be unusable since the case is made from hard tpu that won't stretch to fit any larger plugs.
I got this last week and it is hands down the best tpu case I have ever seen. I would not have thought that diztronic could be trumped, but it does. Faboulous build quality and feel. It is a bit thicker than most tpu cases and the cutout for usb port is small (oem cable fits exactly), those are the only "downsides".
How can I get this case? I live in Chicago.

I personally use the zerolemon battery case its amazing.
When I'm at home I use my spigen slim armor.
Both are great. The ultra hybrid isn't very good due to dust getting in the case
I like the fact that the spigen slim armor has the tow parts that you can change, its pretty cool!!
Thanks for your answer.
I use the tech 21 impactology case. Doesn't look like much but its probably saved my N5 2 dozen times already.

The older version used to allow dust getting in.
I have the "updated" model, pretty much air-tight.
