What's your preferred? Genuine for stock look of more stylish with Spigen?
I picked up the Spigen Case Slim Armor -- liked the look of the white one & love TPU cases, even though this is a bit more plastic than TPU cases from CruzerLite.
personally the stock cases from the market seem a bit too painful to look at.... especially the yellow one, I already picked up a Neo Hybrid - Silver, I was at most considering stock grey

Those cases are freakin' gorgeous, just wish they had one in bright neon yellow.
I think the Neo Hybrid looks great, but I'm worried about the polycarbonate frame breaking. Look up the user submitted pics of the Neo Hybrid for the Galaxy S4 or iPhone 5 on Amazon. There are reports of the frame breaking near the charging port or headphone jack since it's thin in those areas.

Yea my sister's Galaxy S4 one broke. They apparently reinforced it with the new revision. But both my mom's and my sister's paint job did not hold up well and started peeling. I'm probably going with the Ultra Hybrid instead.

They are. I didn't get any response from their email customer service so I ended up using Twitter to contact them.

Wow thats a pretty big concern for me if thats the case. The case looked very appealing and had good color schemes. I don't care too much about the case peeling but as long as it doesn't break then I'm okay. I probably won't get it just incase unless Spigen sends a replacement without question incase anything happens.

They did revise it... as seen here:

But can't tell of they did this for the Nexus 5 version since it's just renders.
I would have gotten a genuine bumper if they were, a: available and b: came in white.
Seriously, bright yellow and red but no white? Gone for a spigen ultra hybrid, seems to keep the angles of the official bumpers but lets me see my white phone
I was disappointed with Nexus 4 genuine bumper: ugly, power button remains pressed (I had to cut with a cutter), bezel and chrome keys peeled off...
Poetic slimline bumper for the n4 was perfect, for me anyways. Fitment, looks, and colors were perfect. And the price was better too. They have them for the n5 available, being shipped in a few weeks.

Personally I didn't like the poetic bumpers. They felt very cheap in terms of the buttons as well as the bumper itself. It provides no grip to the bumper itself.

I'm currently using the clear black version of this case on galaxy s2. Fits perfectly and feels very high quality in the hand. The ridged edges give a lot of grip which is good，Don't hesitate buying one!
orded, i like tpu cases (;
jodeltje said:
It does add bulk, but less than I would have expected. What I really like about the Nillkin TPU case:
+ Its very nice to hold due to the texture on the sides
+ Its easy to slip in and out of your pocket, yet its still pretty flexible
+ The cutouts are perfect
+ No problem using the keys, they still *click* on press
+ The part thats slips around the bezel of the phone is quite thin (compared to other tpu cases), keeping the phone itself, when layed out face down, protected against sand etc. but doesn't add unnecessary bulk.
I guess TPU cases get better as they go as this one is the best Ive used so far
Hop this helps someone!

People should be aware that the Verizon Galaxy Nexus is a different size than the UK Galaxy Nexus. The Verizon version is slightly thicker. I hope that does not interfere with the fitment of this case. I am purchasing the phone on Friday, but I am holding off on cases until I read more reviews.

I don't have the phone yet. The Verizon model is being released tomorrow, therefore, no one has been able to make a "Verizon specific" Galaxy Nexus case. I will most likely buy the cheapest case they have at Verizon and use that one until more people report back about fitment. Better to be safe than sorry.

Thought it was delayed? Unfortunately, I think its going to be awhile before we get more accounts of what accessories fit our Verizon model, IF it ever gets released....
I want to make sure: This case is TPU not silicone, correct?
Lol. That's why it is called a tpu. I forgot wavy tpu exactly my stands for but definitely not crappy stretchy silicone.

Let us know how that screen protector looks.
my requirement for dry apply screen protector:
-protector edge sticks to phone all the way to edge. (Most of the dry apply protectors have the last 1mm of the protector lift).
-no rainbow effects. I hate it when there is an ugly rainbow effect. totally kills teh phone.
Hey Guys I'm getting a Galaxy Note (White) and I want a good Case that has the following:
-Slim, with little bulk
-White Preferably but can be different
-Raises screen from flat surface
-Covers Buttons Preferably but doesn't have to
-All around good protection and can take a fall!
If anyone has a case or knows of a case like that please feel free to leave a comment!
Thanks for the Help!

I have that case and absolutely love it. It's not too thick 3mm? I have no idea. But the tpu sides make it easy to grip and the frosted plastic back gives it a nice look imo. Cut outs are PERFECT too. pressing the side buttons can be a little hard sometimes though, but I usually use the home button to wake the phone.
I have been using a Rearth Ringke Slim since day one and I love it, especially since it has plugs for the charging port and the headphone jack. The screen protector they include is pretty good as well. It's a bit on the expensive side but I think it's worth it. The bottom lip was a millimeter or two off and they sent me another one. I think the white on white looks beautiful.

I can also second the SGP Ultra Capsule White. It does all that you ask for. The build quality is fantastic where the cut-outs for ports are near perfect. Bright white colour with a slightly glossy look.
Aslo, for the ~£18 you also get a very good screen protector.

I have the Boxwave White TPU with Frosted back case mentioned earlier. It's a nice case but a little thick. The back is pretty touch and is thick enough so that the camera glass is protected.
My biggest complaint is that it picked up blue stains from a pair of new jeans. Took a couple of weeks for the blue to disappear from the case. After about 3 months, the tpu sides are starting to have a very slight yellowish color to them. Tried scrubbing it with Comet Cleaner but did not help.
I also agree that the volume and power buttons can be a little difficult to push and the volume buttons kind of creak, its the TPU rubbing against the the button.
It's not my favorite case I've owned but I'm also not in a hurry to replace it.

They have updated it.
So what's different? In previous versions a silicone cover was used. However, we've updated the series is a new TPU material. This new material is still as soft and dust-resistant, but with added durability and protection. Perhaps the best update on the new Neo Hybrid for the Galaxy S3 is that there is absolutely NO sagging or expanding of the TPU cover due to heat from device.Great news to all Neo Hybrid fans out there!

It ses the harder material sits on the phone, while the softer TPU material is on the outside. Seems like that is scratches just waiting to happen. Now reverse that so that TPU inside, hard shell outside, and add an optional belt clip and I'll take 2!!!

Did you read the website?
The Galaxy S3 Neo Hybrid Case Series will be the same dual concept as the Galaxy S2 and iPhone. The case features a TPU cover with a hard polycarbonate frame. The TPU material protects the phone by absorbing shock from any accidental drops. The hard plastic frame protect the phone from scratches and scuffs. Having both the advantages of a hard and soft case makes the Neo Hybrid an all-around protective solution.

The frame (outside) is PC (hard). The cover, TPU, absorbs the shock.
Your phone wont be getting scratches with this case.
Bummer... the TPU is blue only the border of the hard case is white.
I've never clicked on their blog, and but they have really good stuff. Nano Clear Giveaway?? eek!

So.. I have tried my very best to search if anyone is talking about this in any other thread but can't find nothing on it.
I have the Nexus 4 version of the case and it has done me very well! Although about 10 days ago I broke it cause I always pop it on and off while bored.
The only other case that can compete with this (slimness wise) is the Slim SPIGEN Case.
I don't understand how there isnt a thread on this case nor is there any discussion on it! What gives?
What's your opinions on it? Which one would you choose out the two?
$5.99 RINGKE: http://www.amazon.com/RELEASE-PERFE...qid=1383319011&sr=1-2&keywords=ringke+nexus+5
$ 9.99 SPIGEN: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EV8Y50S/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Personally I'm going towards the Ringke case... its cheaper, thinner and looks a little better.
Maybe I'll be swayed towards the Spegen case from you guys!
EDIT/ UPDATE-
Finally got both cases and two phones to compare the two side by side.
After using both of them for a little bit I have decided the Ringke is the better case.
Reasons: Slimmer, covers the phone more, does not have an air gap on the back (you can press the SPIGEN on the back and it will move)
I had to sand both of them down to get rid of the ruff parts.
These super thin cases are way less popular (especially with the younger crowd) than the flashy "hybrid-like" cases that offer more protection and bling. This was the case with the GS4 as well (take a look at those forums).
I personally love the uber thin cases that offer only scratch resistance (and maybe a little drop-proof-ability) but are like having nothing on the phone and not adding to it's bulk. I have the Ringke slim for my GS4 and on the delivery truck a Ringke slim in transit for my N5.
I was very disappointed with the Spigen neo-hybrid for the GS4 and sold it immediately.
The Ringke slim on the other hand is super solid and more professional looking (if you want to call it that ).
I'm sure the Spigen Ultra Fit (Slim) would be very comparable to the Ringke, it looks almost identical in pics and specs
Glad someone brought this up too. I was looking at these two as well and this is something funny i noticed.
the size comparisons between the two are not consistent. SPIGEN reports a .3mm thicker phone but otherwise its the same size.
I'm leaning toward the RINGKE as well. cheaper if i ordered two of those with shipping than to order 2 of the Spigen and get something else for 1.02$ to hit the free shipping mark at 25.

Why exactly were you disappointed with the Neo Hybrid for S4? I had my eyes on the Champagne Gold Neo Hybrid for N5.
I'm personally not a fan of the Slim series as it doesn't offer protection for the top and bottom of the device. Whereas, the Galaxy Nexus Slim it covered the whole phone 360 and kept its slim factor.

I totally understand about the protection the slim series cases don't offer. It's all about preference indeed.
That said, I didn't like the neo-hybrid because it felt like a gimmick (if that makes sense). In other words it felt and looked like they made a case to just look "cool" rather than making a case to form fit a phone. It does offer more protection than the slim fit cases though. It was also too "square" looking for me once on the phone. Made the GS4 look iPhone-ish to my eyes.
Funny thing though....I sold it to my 17 yr old nephew (well it was free but he paid shipping) and he thought it was the coolest thing since sliced bread. :good:

I like the slimness but the top/bottom exposed is a no-no for me. I really wonder why they decided to go with that design. This is the Galaxy Nexus Slim I was referring to http://www.rearthusa.com/sprint_verizon_galaxy_nexus_slim.html slim factor and top/bottom protected.
Hmm, I guess that is true with the Champagne Gold. I just like the mixture between the two colors. So more or less its just aesthetics/appearances on your part but nothing of the case. I was just reading that the older versions of it have had peoples' outer part of the case to crack. Which was the same case for me when I had the official LG bumper for N4 so that was definitely worrisome.
Haha, I think its a pretty neat case too. Looks nice.

Yup, ya never know when the N5 might take a tumble to the pavement and land on the top/bottom or the screen (ouch)!
Oh I think the neo-hybrid looks great in a picture that's why I ordered it. On my GS4 was a different story. The plastic piece on mine felt like it would break very easily, but I don't know which version I had.
Go for it get what ya want. You can always return it and they're so cheap nowadays you don't really miss out on much by doing so

They're so cheap that its not even worth sending it back with the shipping fee.. plus I'm lazy Neo Hybrid is actually ~$19.99 as of right now.
Can't wait for the accessory party to finally begin and a bunch of nexus 5 videos of accessory unboxing/reviews to appear. It will make our jobs a lot easier.
Its kind of funny seeing Rearth and Spigen practically offer the same case and design and names. Slim/Hybrid, what is up with that anyway?

Only problem I have with these cases is that when I always use one I notice that they tend to scratch your phone with the way they snap on.

I thought about that too when I first ordered the Ringke slim. To my delight there is not one scratch on my GS4 (had since launch) caused from the case and I've taken it on and off over a dozen times.
Edit: I will say however, that the case is tough to get off! It's snaps on easily and extremely secure
I like to wash them every week
Yeah I had one on my N4 and went to take it off (like to get the lint off every once and a while) and it scuffed one of the corners. Most people wouldn't notice but it threw my ocd into over drive aft err that lol.

They're so cheap that its not even worth sending it back with the shipping fee.. plus I'm lazy Neo Hybrid is actually ~$19.99 as of right now.
Can't wait for the accessory party to finally begin and a bunch of nexus 5 videos of accessory unboxing/reviews to appear. It will make our jobs a lot easier.
Its kind of funny seeing Rearth and Spigen practically offer the same case and design and names. Slim/Hybrid, what is up with that anyway?

Wait for the party to begin? I've already ordered 8 cases! Lol
I'll post up a comparison of the rearthe and the spigen when I get them.

Yeah exactly why I stopped using cases. I never liked cases, prefer naked. But got the slim ringke for my gnex a couple years ago. Loved the slimness but ended up scratching my phone.
I pop my case on and off all the time and it has never scratched my N4. Maybe its just the N4 that doesn't scratch.
The reason I like these slim cases is because it does add much bulk and it keeps the design of the phone some what. I'm the kind of person that has never dropped their phone on a hard surface. Worst surface iv dropped it on is carpet which was from my lap.
I'm thinking of buying both now cause I can't make my mind up at all!

Lol I was a accessory crazy guy in N4. Trying to make my first purchase the most satisfied one and stick with it im leaning towards the Neo Hybrid
Had a ringke slim on both my s3 and s4. Have one on order for the n5 as well.
Really like the s4 case but certainly not for someone that drops their phone all the time.

just ordered the spigen ultra fit soft matte white for my black nexus 5
i hate cases. so much attention and value is dedicated to the aesthetics and build quality of a phone only to be covered up by an uglier case. my gf has an iphone, a really beautiful phone, and she covers it up with the most hideous otterbox. in her case it is warranted because she is a clutz, but it bothers me every time i see it. i liken it to buying a really nice sports car and then covering it up in foam to drive around.
BUT... i've had my current phone for 1.5 years and i remember the feeling when i dropped it the first day i bought it... it felt bad. only a small scratch but i swear i stared at that scratch and rubbed my finger over it so many times the first week in regret. hopefully this case will be minimal enough and good feeling enough so that i will keep it on my phone. but i'm predicting i'll keep it on for about 2 weeks before i decide i just want my phone beautiful and nude.
why spigen over ringke? well first off i wanted matte and second off ringke advertises "world's thinnest case" and then proves it with a picture of a nexus 5 with the wrong thickness measurement. so i had to dock them for semi false advertising.
the spigen and ringke were both $10 for me with shipping and handling included.
Has anyone bought a Ringke Slim case from Rearth and actually recieved their Nexus 5 yet?
How does it fit? Any comments/reviews would be fun to hear. I'm still waiting for both to arrive.

Diztronic, hands down.
you might consider Tudia Ultra tough, but it's bulky.
What about flip case? Does anyone have any experience with good brands?
I'm looking for something like this:

I recommend this case and a tempered glass protector, you just rip out the plastic one in the case

I didn't like that one. I ordered this one: http://m.ebay.com/itm/181532810218?_mwBanner=1
And the screen protector: http://m.ebay.com/itm/271845140819?_mwBanner=1
I got this yesterday in mail (black and white colour). Very happy with the quality and all the ports/mic holes perfectly centered. sturdy feel. I dropped my phone 3 times without the case (luckily not much damage at all.. just minor ding on corner) and then i thought of buying a case before it has spider web screen.

Cruzerlite Bugdroid
I have been using the Cruzerlite Bugdroid TPU case. It has a slim profile while feeling quite sturdy and able to withstand a drop. All my friends who have the OnePlus One have this case. It comes in a very very wide variety of colors, too. The only downside is that it does fade after a while, but it really isn't that bad or too noticeable. The price is very reasonable for the quality of the product. It is easy to find on Amazon.
Hope this helps.

That is a horrible looking case[emoji21] why would you hide the design of your phone with that? Get a Tudia TPU case and you should be fine.... Oh God.

Make sure you get the one I linked to, with the slightly bigger corners, better protection
I've had the Diztronic case for around 7 months now and it's been perfect. Protected when dropped, not too bulky, slight raised lip on screen side to protect screen when placed screen face down.
The only negative I can think of is that it does add a bit of weight to the phone, although I'm sure that is inevitable based on the protection it gives and also the sturdy nature of the material it is made from.

Exactly... you want protection? Then you're gonna feel it
Try a casemate barely there on your phone and see if it protects... makes me wanna cringe immediately
I wouldn't wanna droptest with that on, or any other "lookyoucanhardlyseeandfeelmebecauseIamsothin" case
if you like TOTAL protection i recommend TWO cases TUDIA OMNIX and POETIC. i have the TO and my experience to it is that the covers of the audio and charger ports are not good if you use them for a prolong period of time they dont go back easily i mean there is a small part of the cover that tends to stay open.
FOR POETIC, i saw reviews both Oneplus.net and amazon they say that it is much better than TO it is much thin than the TO and the ports are much better.
Another great feature about the Diztronic is the way it covers the side buttons and gives them a more sturdy feel. I got another case previously and it had cut out for the buttons, but it was a pain trying to press them as the OnePlus One's side buttons are so small.

If anyone is looking to get rid of their OEM orange and yellow cases, I would be willing to buy. Message me if anything.
