Sup guys, I have the diztronic tpu case, which is awesome by the way, feels exactly like the nexus 5 itself without adding much bulk.
I was wondering if anybody tried this case with spigen glasT screen protector? Does it work?

You're good to go, I have a spigen protector on my screen & am using the diztronic case. You just gotta make sure you put it on straight/lined up.
The first time I applied it, it was a little crooked so the material was a little off the side, so the case made that bubble type effect on the corner. I peeled it off quickly & reapplied it & it has been perfect ever since.
I have earrings & I like that the screen protector still isn't scratched up like others.

You have the spigen screen protector that's made out of glass or the regular kind?

Do you have the glas.t or glas.tr? I would imagine that it might be better to put the protector on with the case on. That way it can center itself inside the frame of the case.
The diztronic works fine with the MIME ghost glass. Can't even tell its there.

Would like to know this too!
The Diztronic case does not work well with the GLAS.tR. The case causes the protector to lift off the screen in areas.

Really?
I though Ghost was about 0.32mm thick.
I have GLASS-M that is about 0.33mm thick, and Diztronic is pulling it some corners off...

Well its not perfect, sometimes the front of the case gets up against the glass instead of on top of the glass and I have to pull it over it. It did lift up the edges the first day, but now it doesn't. I did not put the case on after the glass for 6 hours. Then I put the case on and made sure it was on top of the glass and left it overnight. Had issues the next day lifting the edges, I just kept pushing it down and since then has been perfect. The thinner mime feather might be better for the case but I'm happy.

I bought a ago steinhel flex and I put it on my phone but after only two days one corner has been lifted I don't know what went wrong, I bought it specifically because I read wet protectors don't lift up on the edges :/ . I'm guessing is because I have a Neo hybrid sgp case which has really tight borders.
I just ordered a sgp ultra hybrid which borders fit a little looser on the phone, what do you say should I buy another steinhel flex? Or maybe try the sgp oleophobic which is supposed to be smaller, but it is a dry application which people here are not fans of, maybe try the xo skins case fit?

Tpu cases usually work well. Try diztronics revision 3.
let it be.
the 6 for a dollar ones I get from eBay doesn't interfere with any of my cases. I always suggest those.

it's a common problem for phones whose screens are almost in line with the bezel and if you have a case that covers the bezel. the only solution i saw is to use a smaller protector so the corners of the case would not touch the corners of the protector so it prevents lifting.

the man who's post i will forever keep in my sig. hahaha. good you mentioned that. i didn't actually use my diztronic protector as i have a capdase klia on my gnex. but since it's cut between the size of the actual screen and the one that sgp makes, it seems to not give me any peeling off issues. i guess i'll just keep my free diztronic protector then. hehehe
chances are you have the full screen version if you got the rev3 case. i think the almost to the edge sp's were shipped with earlier versions of the tpu.
i have the full screen xoskins using my diztronic. it doesn't lift the corners or anything!

I agree with you. I used to waste money on "premium" wet and dry screen protectors but I end up going back to cheap plasticy screen protectors lol. They are so easy to apply, no yellow peel, no draggy feeling and I can just replace them any time I want with peace of mind

Haha, yeah exactly! I used to get mad at myself for spending like 14-15 bucks on those wet application types... And only for it to peel off and make the screen look ugly.
I was so mad today. I bought the xo screen protector and had it on for 2 days. I decided to go for a jog and used my arm band case. After the run I tried to remove it from the arm band case, the plastic on the case stuck on the glass of the phone so tight it actually lifted the screen protector while I was trying to remove it so it got ruined. Just a heads up for those getting those "wet application" protectors. Ordered those plasticy clingy ones right after.

1+ Also, tried most of the wet applied ones and these are a lot nicer, no orange peel to worry about with these.
I want a case that protects my screen from dropping on the screen face first but nothing overly large like the otterbox.
I already ordered the flex hd screen protector and I want a case on it because I already wrecked the screen and have to buy a digitizer :S
Any suggestions?
Another question is that do screen protectors protect drops from the screen glass breaking or just scratches?
I absolutely love my Diztronic matte black TPU case.

I dropped mine face down, only had the xtremeguard protector on the screen, caseless (just removed it, lol!). It was attached to the microusb cable from the laptop at the time.
I was lucky, only a 2 foot drop, not even a scratch.. YMMV
I would really do a search of the accessories section, I have posted many TPU as well as others. You'll also be able to read their reviews and others' comments that way.
Goodluck,

I had one of the spigen glas screen protector s installed and it had the air bubble issue. So I'm never spending that much coin on a screen protector again, I just installed a amFilm protector on today it's flawless cutouts are perfect, and it feels great to the touch. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...1807&sr=8-2&keywords=nexus+5+screen+protector

Can you tell me, does it fit nicely with a case? I just applied a caseology protector with a caseology case and believe it or not they're not very compatible. The screen protector seems to be just a smidge too big. The case fits perfectly, but I'm getting air bubbles on the 4 corners that aren't there without the case.
I have a spigen slim armor case it is perfect with this screen protector. The protector doesn't go all the way to the edge of the glass there is a tiny gap when centered perfect

I have it and it is amazing. I'm typically not good at applying screen protectors, but amFilm's hinge method does it nicely.
I have a video if you guys want to watch it
When the phone/screen becomes warmer after some time do you find the screen protector becomes much less slippery?
I've noticed that with my Invisible Defender and it's annoying because when the phone is cooler my fingers glide easily but not when the phone heats up.

Never had that on the amFilm screen protector (at least for me). It's hard to tell when it's winter. Everything is cold in Canada lol

Just got mine.
I was always using steinheil/sgp screen protectors for the past 3 years, decided to try amFilm.
To my surprise I got 4 in a pack instead of 3.
Installation was super easy, tho I misaligned from the first try, but simply took it off and reapplied.
All cutouts are exactly in place.
I can barely notice protector on the screen, only feel it swiping down notifications (can feel cutouts for sensors and speaker)
Highly recommend it!
The only thing I would prefer to have tabs on the other side as I'm using peel back application method and it's easier to start from top side to get a perfect alignment.
What do you use. What's your setup? Idk how I feel about using a case and no screen protector. I feel as if it defeats the purpose of protection

Wet Screen Protector, Leather Sleeve
Spigen ultra fit and the screen protector that came with it
The case is too tight and scratch the left top corner. My advice is to keep the case on and never take it off. Or use a soft case like a tpu.
Sent from my Nexus 5
Case took only a few days to get used to and it's worth it. Helps when the materials are soft touch as on the Fusion Hybrid.
The screen protector is nice having the piece of mind but the plastic ones can never be as smooth as glass.

Shellster case for my N5
Hi
I use this shellster case for my N5 and for still I have not used any screen protector on my N5 as it protects my phone completely it does not let the screen to touch surface even when I put it on the table even from the screen behalf...it has a 180 stand view that also makes me comfortable for media viewing in both mode in landscape and portrate and it also ensures the safety of my phone quite well too..so I like this case and would recommend too...the only thing I just need to update in it is to have some protection in the lower end as it is open from their...but that hardly effects as it covers the corners properly...so simply I have a case with a combo of Holster and Kick stand....So I just love it and quite happy with it.....
I was using an extreme guard screen protector...but it was coming up at the corners and looked pretty aesthetically displeasing so I took it off a few days ago.. the bare glass is so nice and smooth to the touch... I think I will let the Gglass do it's job until I have to run into my old nemesis quartz sand when I go to Florida this spring break

No case, no screen protector.
First we don't need a screen protector, the screen is hard enough to protect from friction.
Second you'll waste the original back of N5, course the touch feeling of any other case cannot be better than the skin like material.
That's my opinion:fingers-crossed:

Actually, the screen can very easily scratch, all it takes is a bit of sand or dust in your pocket. Glass is harder than steel, so keys are not a concern, but most sand is silicon, which is the same hardness as glass, and some sand or dust can even be corundum or diamond, and there is just no way to stop that from scratching any surface.

Ringke slim, no screen protector
I think the case has the same feel as the phone itself, and stays true to the design.
Xtremeguard screen protector + Cruzerlite Bugdroid case.
I might change the screen protector to a glass protector.
I was using one of the $.99 eBay cases and dropped my phone a couple of weeks ago face down and of course the screen shattered. I just got it repaired and don't want this to happen again. Are there any cases that people can recommend that would protect the screen if I were to drop it facedown again?
Something with a raised lip?

I honestly don't know how anybody can stand using the zagg, feels like you're running your finger across rubber to me. I have a spigen glaS TR, works great with the slim armor case. The others that would maybe work for you would be the trident aegis and the seidio active.

yeah, i love how it feels. lol. been using it also on my old device.
for the op, i been using the ultra-hybrid btw. really nice and not bulky feel.
I swear by my Diztronic TPU cases, been using them since I shattered my One S screen.
One of the main reasons is the amount of edge lip around the screen to protect it.
Having a lip on the case doesn't really stop the glass from shattering in any way. It's more to protect from scratching the screen when placed face down.
For drop protection, you need a cushion or buffer zone where some of the impact can be absorbed by the case and not the phone itself.
I hope going back to the Spigen case will save me now, same thing happened to me when I changed to a cover case which conveniently when I dropped my phone the cover opened up leaving my phone unprotected to fall on it's own screen and completely shattering, guess I should have stuck with the Spigen ultra hybrid.
