Just some quick pics of my new SPIGEN SGP Ultra Hybrid case in Soul Black. This case is excellent quality and very slim profile. Easy to take on and off without scratching your phone.
Volume button fit could be better as the edge of the case juts out a bit around the volume buttons. I'll post some more pics later on and have more comments after some more use.
EDIT: I have the GSM version
I also picked up the SGP Crumena in black and I'll post some pics of it compared to the Sena UltraSlim case later on.

Looks like there's a gap between the back of the case and the back of the phone? Appears to be evident around the lens hole (?).

I may be traumatized by my recent purchase of an Incipio Feather, poor fit with a nasty gap in the spot I mentioned. I'll try to return it to the store, but I raped the packaging, so we'll see.
very impressive this cover!i'll buy it later!thanks for the heads up!
There's no gap. That's just camera lighting and shadows.

Wonder if it works with Extended battery

Wouldn't fit. I have an Ultra Hybrid as well, and the interior is clearly contoured to fit only the stock battery, and that area is hard plastic so it's not going to flex or mold to the shape of the extended battery. The lip is also present on the outside of the case, though that may not be easily visible from the photos.
You save 3.60(shipping) if you buy it from their official store from eBay:

This guy has it with an extended battery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26895098&postcount=45
Says its a 2100mah battery, I think he meant 2000mah. Doesn't look like a perfect fit, but it appears doable.
OP Nice shots man. I'm gonna get this case soon. I'm still waiting for my Neo Hybrid.
What camera did you use btw?

It looks awesome and it is pretty cheap, so I wanted to know if anyone has already purchased it and if it fits correctly.
iv got a similar type back. Made a review
Sorry to ask, but what is the use of such a back cover?
To make it feel more premium and heavyer so its better in the hand? Because it adds no protection at all for the screen.
i bought a silver one right now
when it arrives i will let you know
estimated arrivel nov 29th

Its a matter of choice a custom feel to the owner.

Judging by the looks of it, it curves up at the bottom like the stock battery cover, so I doubt it will fit a 2000mah battery.
Loving the look on this cover, I'll probably get one in a few days.
I bought this cover few days ago from here:
http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Aluminum-Met...103889?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cfb634e91
The seller was trustworthy enough, item arrived to Ireland after a week or so,
I'm very happy with it
Will attach a few close-up pics tonight once my digital camera's battery gets fully charged
Silver metal cover looks cool. I'm buying this one

Never want to change my original back cover, but alimimum looking much better. Still love my original back cover.
Some pics
so here are few shots of that aluminium cover...
That looks really nice! How does it feel on the hand? Does it make the phone heavier?

The phone not only feels but in fact is heavier (compared to stock plastic cover, didn't weigh the phone though) and the back doesn't seem to attract fingerprints, but since I use SGP Case Ultra Capsule as well nobody can see the difference in style
It's solid enough and fits very well, easy to attach. Worth the money
Thanks! I'll be buying one for sure now.
It seems a bit thicker than the stock battery cover.
Is it just me or does it stick out 1mm or so?
After hearing feedback that the Barely There Case was found not an exact fit I thought I'd try out an alternative. I decided on the Hard Hybrid Back Case which can be found on ebay for less than £3. I also bought the even cheaper (99p) S-line for comparison.
The S-line I found easy to fit and remove, it had more protection on the top and bottom but it felt and looked cheap. The buttons were also covered with plastic which I didn't like.
The Hybrid case is very much styled like the CaseMate Barely There case but fits better, it's very snug and snaps over the Nexus. Getting it off can take a couple attempts. It has cut outs for both buttons which I prefer and has a nice grippy feel. Here are a couple pics:

Agreed. What's the point of having a case if it doesn't cover all the edges?
On a side note, OP - would you mind sharing the settings widget you are using? I like that the background is transparent.
AH i ordered a bunch of the hybrid cases off ebay. they are feel really nice! the only thing i dislike is how incredibly frustrating it is to take it off >:| (yes i swap cases often to keep the look fresh) but I have a white one and a dark purple one. as well as a S-line case. the S-line case feels nice but kinda bulky ><
each of my cases are like $2-$3
i'll post pictures of the white one once it arrives >> (two week shipping from HK)

Could be SwitchPro.
Case looks pretty nice. Currently using Otterbox Defender or whatever and it's comically huge.
Looks like a nice case, was going to ask if it would fit the LTE nexus but it looks like the seller doesn't ship to the states :/

u have to look around. all of the sellers based in Hong Kong would be willing to sell to the states. however, alot of the EU based sellers wont. it took me a good 20 minutes to find a white hybrid case that could be shipped to the US
Hi guys.
It's not SZLF. (I thought it would be szlf but its not)
Quality is perfect . Easy to press buttons (Ease of pressing with out case 100%, With case 65%)
I also ask for GUN METAL color. I got ****ty light grey color.
My front is "silver" but the back is "light grey".
.....little disappointed.
But I'm not a petty person, (even If i payed tottaly 60$).....I left a good feedback.

I also order back door (Gun metal color), but is more grey-green than gun metal.
Door also is good quality, just slightly thicker. (1mm maybe)
Conclusion
Before you buying something from ebay...check the pictures first !!!
If the seller does not have pictures you better find another one.
DO NOT BELIEVE to words...

-choose your color

Great pics, thank you! Can you tell us by the feel, if the aluminium case feels solid in the hands and will it absorb shock if ever the phone fell on the ground? Is the phone tight inside the case or is it loose?
I ordered the exact same combo last week!!! I can't wait!!!!

Its not that he wont do it, its that he cant. I believe that the bumpers and the new battery back cover cant be used at the same time. They dont fit together. Which sucks.

Spigen also seems to have released a clear bordered version of their Ultra Hybrid. I'll want to see theses pictures for sure, and how it feels in hand / what material they use for it.
Nice
Looks a great cover. I bought the standard fusion in black, but this one seems great in showing off the sides of the phone. But, I am worried that the side body of the cover will also get scratchy just like the back after a while..
Here, the black side body wins for me.. :good:

buttons are pretty awesome on this case. I like it, but ordered knock off Google bumper that should get here soon. I'm not really into the clear hard plastic backs. Feels very light and thin though for a good amount of protection.
For reference I've had:
Spigen ultra slim
Quick sand
Beetle case
Diztronic matte
Cruzerlite
Nillkin
I like this one the best I think. Nillkin is pretty sleek though..

This is pretty much the same as the one I have and also similar to the Poetic series. I have a cheap ebay one that works fine. Gives it a wider profile when holding it in your hand. Pretty much the same width as a Seidio Dilex case. Buttons are responsive, you can feel a click, not as pronounced as a naked case, but you do have some feedback. Protection is pretty good for what it is. I've dropped it at work a few times and the phone has come out of it unscathed.
bought it on ebay and waiting for it to come, probably another week or two
Received two in the mail after about two weeks. To be honest they feel more like plastic rather than TPU... Flexible plastic.
I have a few slim cases and compared to those, these bumpers add a lot more bulk. Probably won't be using them for an extended period of time and will go back to my slim cases or the Spigen Neo Hybrid.
Bought one of those and couldn't use it. The micro USB cutout is too small. I couldn't charge the phone with some cables and using Meenova is impossible with the case on.
I am also considering to buy a TPU case. How does it compare to hard back case cover for protection and comfort of use?

Well there is no protection for the back because it's, well...bare lol. For comfort, I had to get used to the width of the phone with this on. It's a bit wider than no case at all. But it protected my phone at a 4 foot drop. Nothing happened to the phone. :good:
Where do you get something like this? It's hard to search for an *actual* bumper case because so many normal full-body cases use the word "bumper" for no apparent reason

You are correct, that is a render in a sense. Or they put the phone in backwards lol. You see the speakers are pointed towards the bottom. That orientation dictates that the phone should be faced down. lol
