I've got one and it is great. Nice fit and finish, offer side and back protection which is all I car about. Feels good in hand too.

i ordered mine last night, should receive it sometime this week!

is the power button cut out so we can use the IR blaster?

Look for pictures - in short yes the IR is fine.
It does not cover the whole phone. Back and sides. Top has a small notch for headphones trimmed out and bottom is open.
Most of these type of cases will always be that way. I think the POETIC case apparently had this issue.
How do you design a case and knowing all the specs and you forget about the IR ?

aaaand... back on topic.
Nice case! I'm still hunting down the perfect case; meanwhile I've just ordered a cheap transparent case for about £3.
I'm tempted by the Nilkin, but the fact that it doesn't protect the top and bottom is a bit off-putting.
Something like the double-dip hard case would be great for me, but I'm just not keen on the colours they used.
I rather like the look of the Urban Armor Gear cases though. I just wish they had it in this colour.

It does cover the corners which would take the hit if it goes down

i am unsure about the looks of the back... you think taking the phone out of this would hurt it if done a lot?

Ordered a red and black one of these for 4 quid each off eBay should be here in a week or two, coming directly from China!

I've heard that the Nilkins are quite slippery to the touch. Can anyone comment if this is true?

It is, very silky smooth on the sides.

Definitely less slippery than the phone would be on its own.

I've yet to get my HTC One but my Nillkin case has arrived and yes, it is true that the case is slippery. It feels like powder on paper less the powder of course. It's that kind of slippery.

Mine took 11 days including weekends... I ordered from Obostore: http://www.obostore.com/nillkin-ultra-slim-hard-case-for-htc-one-m7-p-13717.html

I ordered from a US seller. Got here in two days.
I like the feel of it. The rigid back and the soft sides is nice. I got the white one. It will probably attract more dirt

The sides of the Nillkin are the smooth rubbery coating like you would find on the back of some of HTC's older phones (ie S710). The back is textured with a pattern, so it isn't the same feeling as the sides. I would say it's definitely less slippery than the phone naked.

Do you keep your One in a case?

Hey guys this is just getting some feedback on how easy it is to scratch the HTC one and whether you have it in a case or not.
I personally have kept it in a case since I got it but I feel that I am hiding the beauty of the phone. I wanna keep it out of the case but I'm scared that I will end up scratching it

I just received this case today. It's super thin and clear so it barely looks like I even have a case on it. It's definitely not a rugged case. Good for scratch protection but definitely not going to protect much against drops. Not a bad choice for $3.99.

Nope. This phone is too gorgeous to keep it in a case.

Got me one of these at the XDA DevCon: http://www.cruzerlite.com/community/xda-developers/htc-one-xda-molded

I use this case:
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/htc/htc-one/htc-one-case-ultra-thin-air.html
It's really thin and they have a clear and a matte version. I have the matte version but can still see the beauty of the One perfectly.
It comes with a really awesome screen protector too. Can't even tell it's on there.
20 bucks, free shipping, and I ordered mine on Thursday and had it Saturday.

HTC double dip flip case on mine. It even fits in my leather pouch for added protection although not needed.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

thinking of getting a leather wallet case for the phone/ wallet. Not going to keep it in any sort of case during use.

got a platinum case with a kickstand

Have a white and gray otterbox on mine, I use that while I'm at work but when I'm at home I take it out of there, hate having the case on the phone. Also dont use Screen protectors either, got one when I bought this from Best Buy in a combo pack with the otterbox, the sales rep put it on for me but all I can see is imperfections in the screen no matter how good they do it, so it came off and I'll stick to never using one

Using a Poetic case, just until I get used to the dimensions. Then it's coming off.

Are any of these cases a TPU material, or all hard shell.?

SPIGEN Google Nexus 5 Slim [Ultra Fit] *pictures*

I just received my n5 plus the case and thought I might give my first impression on the " [Non-Slip] SPIGEN Google Nexus 5 Case Slim [Ultra Fit] [Smooth Black] Premium SF Coated Matte Hard Case" available on amazon.
First if all, the case fit perfectly on the phone with no play what so ever. It has an soft smooth feel almost close to the feel of the all black nexus 5. Although it probably won't provide as much protection as a bumper case or all around case it keep the profile of the phone very slim. It holds up very well against finger prints. I probably wouldn't recommend it to a person that drops their phone a lot. I had a ringke slim case on my n4 and never had a problem, even with a few drop my n4 is still in pristine condition.
How does it compare to the ringke? I not sure if the texture of the n5 ringke slim is the same as the n4 but it has a more firmed plastic touch then the spigen. I think it's worth the extra $1 or $2. Spigen also include a screen protector with this case.
At $9.99 on amazon prime it is a steal for the quality.

Im looking to get this one or the ringke slim! Waiting for pics! haha

I ordered the white one.
Can't wait to get my hands on it.
N5 coming tomorrow, case next week.

Look forward to the pics! Keep us updated

Goood, give us the pics

Pics please... Im waiting on my white one.
OP, did you get the screen protector too? How was it?

Heads up, it's the same price from spigen on eBay and comes with one of their pet screen protectors

The one I ordered through Amazon came with a screen protector. I was surprised because it did not mention anything about that on their page.

Thank you for the pics. Can you tell us what the fit is like? Is it comparable to the Ringke Slim for the N4? (most people on this forum own/owned both products ) Also, how does the build feel - cheap or premium? Thanks again.

The fit is perfect but it was the same on the ringke even after a year it still held on tight and I expect this would be the same quality. As for which feel more premium? I would probably say the spigen has the tiny edge on that because of the softer Matt touch. The difference isn't by much and you can't go wrong with either.
How well would it hold up, I still don't know. But at $10 I'm not loosing much.

Does the tight fit around the flash cause any issues when taking photos?

Got my N5 and Spigen ultra fit today. Not a fan of it, I should have looked at it more carefully. Don't like how little coverage there is on the top and bottom.
I'm hoping the Chinese company that I bought my TPU case for my N4 on Amazon comes out with a N5 version. I think it was like $.79 with $2 shipping. Best case out of 4-5 I bought for the N4.

Nope because of the thinnest of the case it does not interfere with the camera.
And it's a thin case and there pictures of it lol how much protection you expect it will provide?

I have the white case on my black N5, it looks great. My only concern with this case is that it is sharp on the bottom where I use my pinky to hold the phone. It's nothing some sand paper can't fix. It looks like the Ringke has more rounded edges, which might be more comfortable.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

Just throwing my 2 cents in. I would highly recommend against this case. While the overall quality is nice, the top and bottom portions of the case are very sharp. I should not have to take out sand paper and take that off after buying a $10 piece of plastic that probably costs 10 cents to make. Spiegen will be getting a complaint from me.

I agree with this. The case looks really nice and feels high quality but the top and bottom are ridiculously sharp. I like to rest my pinky under my phone when I use it but I can't with this case because it is too painful. Hopefully this will be fixed in a revision.

I'd agree my bottom of case is pretty sharp... top is OK though..I'll ask about a revised version...

I read that this case may scratch the phone at the corners. Anyone have that issue?

For what it's worth, I have removed the case and put it back on several time and do not see any scratches. It fits on way too snug for my tastes(it is incredibly difficult to take off) so I was afraid it would mess up my phone. But so far no issues. In fact one of the times I was having real trouble getting it off and I noticed white stuff on the corner of the phone when I finally got it off. It appears that the phone will scratch the case rather than the case scratching the phone.

Spigen Ultra Hybrid vs. Rearth Ringke Fusion Review (Video+Pictures!)

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.

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).

Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

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

Otterbox

Spigen Ultra Fit
Got this one, pretty happy with it as it adds hardly anything to the form factor. Using the free screen protector it came with...after a failed attempt with the Spigen Tempered Glass (two pieces of dust got under...drove me crazy). The case does have the antenna cut out but I didnt really care. Nice and simple

Tech21 hands down.

I had a Spigen Ultra Fit on my N5 and loved it. Wonder if they'll come out with one that doesn't have the antenna cut out.
Any of you guys using the thicker cases have wireless charging? Does it still work? The Spigen on the N5 worked great with wireless charging.

Thanks, I had bought the Verus Thor (slim armor) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J9TBM96/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and didn't like how big it is. Just got this delivered and it is way better. Doesn't add bulk and I like how the camera cutout feels. It kind of guide's your finger to where it is going, The other one I got felt like I was reaching into a hole to find the buttons.

Some random rubber/plastic case from Ebay for $3 shipped.
Done.

Had to edit this post. The case has a very sharp edge on the bottom where the pinky rests while holding the phone one handed. Not impressed..
