If you are looking for an extremely thin and lightweight case for your HTC One, look no further. The Ultra Thin Air from SPIGEN is one of the slimmest cases I have ever used. Although the case might seem a little expensive initially, the included Ultra Crystal screen protector justifies the $20 price tag.
Hmmm. That's quite a good looking case. The reviews on Amazon are pretty awful though
How does the Ultra Crystal screen protector differ from the normal(cheap) ones?

I feel the same way. I need something that will protect it from small falls (like from my lap when i stand up) and scratches thats it! If i didnt care about resale value i would just go naked, but i always sell my phones to upgrade and need them in good shape!! #thincases4life!! lol
on topic for the thread though, and i have almost ordered the SGP thin air case multiple times. i just cant bring myself to pull the trigger with such horrible reviews on amazon. Now, i know there are a lot of idiots out there that write reviews sometimes, but there are just so many bad reviews its kinda hard to ignore.
I ordered these, just don't have them yet.

let us know when you get them. The diztronic is my favorite case to date but just ordered some thinner ones. Interested to know the bulkiness of that incipio (all their case pictures just look huge to me)

It should work.
The dual sim card HTC One is simply that, it has two sim card slots, as opposed to one for our variant.
Hey there, I've finally got my HTC One and I'm after a case that won't take away the sexy looks of the phone. This looked like an option but very bad reviews. A lot of people refer to the 0.3mm cases, unfortunately there aren't many in the UK but I've found one on eBay can someone check if it's the same?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331144103956
Also, please suggest other common/popular cases similar to this Spigen and the 0.3mm case please.
I got both of them, haven't seen anyone else do a comparison video, so here's the link:

I was watching this earlier when I did a YouTube search. When I saw the design for the Fusion and Ultra Hybrid, I was immediately attracted to the Ultra Hybrid. The Fusion looks a bit too round for me, which is a shame since I loved the Fusion case for the Nexus 4.
great review, thanks
edit: i think your spigen case might be ok, you might just have to peel off the plastic in the front and back just like the ringke.
Good review

I was also going to ask this, did you actually remove the plastic films on the Spigen one? because it doesn't have a message like the Ringke to remove it but they're there and I'm almost certain you didn't remove them because when you were comparing them it looked hazy.
Does the Ringke come with an option for a solid black back instead of clear?

Nope. That would be the Slim series but thats another case.
Damn I thought the Ultra hybrid would be about the same size as the Fusion... I like smaller cause my hands are not large. Unfortunately I order an ultra hybrid if I would have seen this before that I would have bought the Fusion! Anyone want to buy my Ultra hybrid?? lol it hasnt come in yet but idk I may need to sell it and buy the fusion instead..lol

He posted on the Reddit thread that he did in fact forget to peel off the front screen protector on the case. Afterwards, the scratches were gone.

That's what I thought, thanks for the update.
I thought mine was scratched too, but you need to peal both the front and back protectors off.
I have both as well. The Spigen is higher quality, but the Rearth is slightly smaller and much more comfortable to hold due to the rounded edges. Also the buttons are easier to press on the Rearth.
So far I have all the Spigen cases and the Rearth and I really don't like any of them. I have a Supcase and a Diztronic on their way. Having a PITA time finding a decent case for this thing. I know I'll like the Diztronic, but I am really, really hoping UAG comes out with a case for us (they likely won't).

Yeah my Diztronic is being delivered today too. The Diztronic is pretty much a sure bet but it's TPU, so it is what it is. It'll do until I find a better case.

just got my diztronic. give me a few minutes to gather some thoughts about it.
Edit: Alright. First off, it looks very nice and sleek, and it definitely does not add as much size as the neo hybrid did (that thing literally gave the N5 the height and width of a Note 3). Fit and finish is OK, not quite as good as sgp or even the older Diztronic cases I remember having on my ATT One X. There is a little bit of flash at the bottom edge under the charging port, so if you usually rest your pinky near the charging port, you will feel a little bit of sharpness. Other than that, the case is pretty formfitting. The buttons actually have a nice click feedback, and it doesn't feel like the case is constantly putting pressure on the buttons when they are not pressed, which is VERY good thing and something I cannot say for most cases. Overall, a solid case, and definitely knocked the neo hybrid away. Waiting for the Supcase for further comparison and judgement.
so it seems that the diztronic wins over spigen and spigen wins over ringke fusion....hmm..
i wonder why no one here mentioned the slim armor from spigen...with all the differences of opinion and no seemingly "excellent" case out there (and with slim armor my preferred one ahving button problems) i dont know what to do ! please do post your reviews people specially if you have multiple cases and which one you like best
Hello, i have my Nexus 5 but i have a little question.
In your opinion, what is the best case :

or
http://www.rearthusa.com/google-nexus-5-hybrid-fusion-case
I have already looking for these case on forum but i dont find good or bad comment.
What do you think?
Ignoring the 87 other posts regarding these 2 cases. I have the Rearth. It's nice. Doesn't fit perfectly with dbrand skin and xoskin says more good about tolerances than bad.

I have the ringke fusion, its really nice and slim, my phone already felt from hand height and nothing happen and that's what I expect from a case...

I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid.
I don't like how it makes your phone feel bulky and too big to fit in my pocket. It also weakens the magnetic pull of my InfiniApps Slyde CD Mount due to the clear plastic backing being really thick.
On the plus side, makes it feel like your phone is a tank and can take any drop.
Thanks you
+1 for the Spigen Ultra Hybrid!! Just got it today. Love the feel of it. Love the look of it. Definitely recommend this case. If only I got it a few days ago before I dropped my nexus and cracked my screen...

You'll like the fusion, then. The button feel is perfect.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I was trying to decide between the two as well and ended up with the Fusion because of the button feel and being slightly thinner. I'm pretty happy with it so far, the button feel is the best of any case where there aren't cutouts for the buttons that I've ever used. Only one small complaint is that the edges of the case are kind of sharp but it really isn't bothering me that much.
I have the Ringke Fusion. I had it for my N4 as well which I liked so I figured I'd get the N5 version. Overall a pretty good case, although like cee-ach said the edges of the case are kind of sharp (wasn't like this on the N4). It's a bit annoying for me, mainly because I use LMT launcher, and when I swipe from the right edge of the screen my thumb always makes contact with the edge of the case.
I haven't tried the Ultra Hybrid but I ordered it a couple of days ago. Kinda wishing I ordered the Spigen Slim Armor instead.
Got myself the Ringke Fusion Hybrid Hard Case. Extremely light while also providing a high level of protection from bad drops and scratches. Definitely worth the $13. The only issue I have is that just below the power button side, the casing seems to be slightly loose although that didn't make any difference to the protection provided by the item itself.
Anyone else having the same issue? Any way to fix it?
My review score: 8.5/10
Would have given a 9 if not for this minor issue but it doesn't take away much
Does the ringke fusion fit snug? I heard that the spigen ultra hybrid is a bit loose and dust will collect inside the case.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
I ended up getting the Ringke Fusion and I love it. It's very thin and light. Compared to my other case (Spigen Slim Armour), the Fusion feels more "naked" (as if I wasn't using a case). So far I've been using the Fusion a lot more now that I tried them both for a week.
Just wanted to add I've been using a Fusion Hybrid because it has solved an annoyance for me. Case-less my N5 was vibrating violently at high speaker volumes and that has completely disappeared since using the tightly fitted Fusion. Also my Shure earphones fit just fine so for those reasons I'd recommend the case.
It does have a bit of edging work that isn't 100% smooth and the headphone slot has a gap which can let in dust at the back. However that is probably why headphones fit properly.

You're right about the buttons. They are perfect. However, the rest of the case, I'm not too impressed. I have the same complaint as others about the sharp edges. It's really uncomfortable to hold it to your ear. I may try the sandpaper to knock down the edge a bit. I like that the USB port does not have a gap to the inside of the clear back but still wondering why the headphone jack does. Overall, not bad at all for an $8 case.
If Spigen fixed the buttons on the Ultra, I'd be back on that case in an instant.

I own both and they're both essentially identical, but if I had to choose it would be the Spigen because it's slightly better. I don't use either of these however.. I miss my UAG case and the closest thing to it that I could find was the Spigen Slim Armor.

My experience is quite the opposite. I wasn't happy with neither of two cases mentioned in this thread and I'm now using the slim armor. Not sure I agree with you on the "nakedness" and the slim armor basically adds no more bulk to the phone than the other cases do... I definitely feel a lot more comfortable with the slim armor case since it's not slippery.
read all reviews
all are mixed reviews.

I'm looking into a case that can take right angled, or thicker headjacks (e.g. ATH-M50s). I need some help from anyone willing
Here's my preferences:
Slim
Fully enclosed (e.g. not back only cases)
No hybrid cases (or at least ones that attract crazy amount of lint)
Soft matte rubber on the sides/around the phone
Black color
Price isn't a big deal as long as its a good fit. Thanks in advance!

I might buy THIS ONE next week. You might want to look into it. I'm currently using the spigen neo-hybrids with Dunu DN-1000 and they fit perfectly. My only complaint with the case is that they add about 2x the actual bezels of the nexus 5, which sometimes create an illusion that my screen is small, or my phone is huge.
Hi everyone,
Just ordered myself a 256gb Neblue Blue OnePlus 7 Pro. Are there any full body cases that would help against drops? I'd like to have a clear back so the blue is visible but equally protected. I looked at some of the magnetic cases on ALiExpress and was wondering if anyone has any other recommendations to achieve a similar look with good protection in case of a drop or another event?
Problem with these cases is I'm not sure if the case will absorb a shock and if the fingerprint reader will work as intended.
