Ultra Hybrid alternative? - Nexus 5 Accessories

Hey there,
I'm looking for a new case for my Nexus to get some more variety in cases
So I found the Ultra Hybrid but I dont like how the sides of it look..
Is there a case that combines the sleek and simple looking sides of the Spigen Neo Hybrid with the transparent back of the Ultra Hybrid?
Also I need a little of free space between the phone and the transparent back (around 1mm) to add a "The Division" badge that someone gave me on gamescom...
So what alternatives would you recommend? I also use a glass-screen protector...so It should be compatible with it
Thanks in advance and sorry for my terrible english :crying:
Best regards,
Korn

Ringke Fusion is the best looking case I have right now. I got the grey color. If it becomes extremely unpleasant to look at due to wear and tear I'll buy another one.
I also have a tempered glass installed (Nillkin) and it's perfectly aligned with the case.

Thanks
I had a closer look at the Spigen Ultra Hybrid and it does not seem to fit the 1mm badge I want to add
As you own the Fusion, any Idea if this would fit?
Regards,
Korn

You mean you'll place it inside the case so it covers the nexus logo?

Yup thats what im trying to do
But I feel like It wont work out..
I may will stick with a bumper case and modify it to feature a transparent back then
Or do you think it might work?

Has anyone used GelaSkins on their One?

I've finally gotten around to looking at cases for my One, which is a daunting task and I've been looking at transparent cases. I'm leaning towards the SGP Ultra Thin Air and I was thinking of getting a skin or something along with it to make good on that transparency.
So, has anyone used any of GelaSkins products on their One? Or another device? I'd just like to know if it is easy attaching/removing, reusing, quality of the skin, etc. Any info at all really related to your experience with it.
I'm considering either: http://gelaskins.com/store/phones/HTC_One/Blue_Robot
or: http://gelaskins.com/store/phones/HTC_One/Action_Packed
Thanks for any help/info!

I have used it on my DHD, attaching is easy, removing isn't hard either.. however when you have left it on for a long time it stretches a little while removing it. it's not enough to deform though! Also back then only the back was covered. the one has frontal parts too, might consider it again myself
I wonder how the front skin (the part that covers the capacitive buttons, not the speaker grills) works? It looks like it has cut outs for the icons, is that enough to register a touch?
i have had gelaskin on my asus transformer before and it isn't really designed to be applied to a rounded surface like back of HTC One or typical non flat surface.
For a non case person like myself,,, i still enjoy these type of skin for looks and some what scratch protection.

Looking for first case

Hey guys.
I just bought a black nexus 5 and I am looking for a case.
I come from an iPhone, which has a LOT of case offer xD
So I was just wondering which cases do you guys personally use and which ones would you recommend.
I don't know if this is the right place to post this, so I apologize in advance :-/

I personally use the zerolemon battery case its amazing.
When I'm at home I use my spigen slim armor.
Both are great. The ultra hybrid isn't very good due to dust getting in the case
I like the fact that the spigen slim armor has the tow parts that you can change, its pretty cool!!
Thanks for your answer.
I use the tech 21 impactology case. Doesn't look like much but its probably saved my N5 2 dozen times already.

The older version used to allow dust getting in.
I have the "updated" model, pretty much air-tight.
Only downside is the shiny back, but I love my case! :angel:
I bought a "Ringke Slim case" in white off Amazon UK. Very nice fit, but get the rubberised version. The white one is as slippy as a bar of soap :silly: Other than that, a case for a bargain price, with a great fit and overall quality!
I really like my black wallet case. :good:
here's mine fits and feels great

I picked up the Ringke Fusion Clear case off Amazon. I am very disappointed by the whole thing. It does not fit the 1+2 in almost every detail. The case does not extend beyond the screen so if placed face down the screen will touch table or counters surface. I tried to show pictures off the main misalignments.

Last I looked didn't that case take like 3+ weeks for delivery?
I just got my OP2 and my accessories at the same time now! I have the Dual Layer Defender Protective Case Cover with Kickstand and damn it's bulky and hard to hold in my hand. I had a MI3 and OPO naked before (broke both phones and now I've learned my lesson) but I've been stuck with a 5C for a week. Hopefully I get used to the size and heft again of a 5.5", though this is the heaviest phone of all...

Many reviews of the gray case put it over stylecover but webstie says "Please note that to use this case you will need to remove the device's StyleSwap Cover as it is designed to snugly contour the OnePlus 2 without adding extra bulk." could you put picture with this case as recommended by one plus ? I am interested in i=this one

I've attached pictures of my phone and the case with my stock back cover and without (you can see my serial). It is very weird without. I can definitely feel the back as hollow and missing something. I'd advise to keep it on, it is as slim as can be. That's odd the website would say that if it fits without the back cover on.
I bought the Diztronic tpu case because I had it for the OnePlus and was very satisfied. Although it is roughly the same case as for the opo the finishing is not as good. There is a shiny edge where the camera is, which could have worked out great but just is not. The case is also not as tight as for the opo and corners will slip off the phone when getting it out of your pocket. On the other hand the case is still from a very durable shock absorbing material and the edge that stands out over the screen makes sure that the glass doesn't shatter when you drop it. The thing I like about it most is the fact that it simply makes the OnePlus look more humble. No thrills just a nice phone. All and all a good case but not as good as its predecessor.
im not happy with this at all..i have the black apricot..it is quite a bit thicker than the sandstone..im very disappointed in oneplus to sell styleswaps with different thicknesses..
I have both the orzly invisicase and fusion bumper..
with the invisicase..it loses the facedown protection..the screen comes out on top of the edges..because its too tight..the corners/edges will slipp off with a small touch..
with the fusion bumper..you clearly see it doesnt fit the contours of the device..especially at the cutouts and the top&bottom..
also the cutout for the usb port is too small for the standard oneplus cable (have to use some force) ..while its cut perfectly for the usb cables orzly is selling..
basically..these cases are only designed to use with the standard sandstone styleswap while intended for the other styleswaps..

Best ultra thin (semi-)hard case

Hello,
Could anyone recommend a great VERY thin (semi-)hard case for the s8+.
As I don't want to make the phone more bulky than it is, I'm really looking for the best thin hard case out there.
I don't want 100% TPU cases, as they do not reflect the wanted quality + they just feel bad in hand.
Ringke fusion I used it on my S6 edge plus and I have it ordered for my S8 plus. It's very slim so it allowed the beauty of the phone come through. It has enough protection for me.

There's a slickdeals listing of some cases. Some are bulky others are not, and all are cheap. Take a look and see if any of these are anything you want:

I really wish they would go back and design a case in line with the Gnex Ringke Slim. That was like the pinnacle of their cases imo, it was the perfect case for me.

Aren't you guys worried about dropping your device in these cases? Don't seem like they offer a lot of protection against drops.

nah, I always run a slim case, usually spigen cause I don't like the rignke design. Out of probably 5-6 years of cases like this and many many phones I've broken one and it was a really stupid situation.

I'll get a more protective case for work, but outside of work I like as minimal as possible. I'm really careful with my devices. Never dropped a phone, so hopefully that will continue.
Thanks a ton, all. Great suggestions! I have yet to decide by EoB, as tomorrow my phone will arrive!
Spigen 100%
Liquid Air
extra thin but great protection
or
Rugged armor
slightly bigger but much bigger protection
I hate thick cases, but i also hate cases that are too thin and useless. I have always been happy with Spigen. You should be able to also find them on Amazon.
After a lot of searching and comparing; I have ordered the Spigen Thin Fit case in black for 14.99 eur including shipment costs.
I would have opted for the coral blue color, but could not find it for a fast belgian delivery (by tomorrow). This case seems to cover all my needs:
Raised edges
Ultra thin
Hard case
Decent quality and grip
The design is quite standard.. but OK for now.

Going for Spigen nano fit.. This is probably the thinnest it can get.

Hi just wondering is there any rainbow or watermark effect on the back where the case touches the back glass? Does the case have a micro dot pattern inside?
Got the incipio case, no rainbow effect on the back, there is a dot pattern to prevent that, also cut outs are very precise. I tried a couple of transparent flexible cases, this is the best one so far...
