[REVIEW] Ringke Fusion for Nexus 5

Just received the Ringke Fusion case which I ordered a few weeks ago from Amazon. I actually ordered it launch day for the Nexus 5, but they stipulated that it wouldn't be shipped until around November 6th.
Overall I'm very happy with the case, nice build quality, especially the matte black finish. The clear backing was nicely protected with a film on both sides, so no damage upon receipt. I used the Ringke Fusion for the Nexus 4 as well, but the Nexus 5 version seems more refined in design and matches the Nexus 5's aesthetics a bit more. The Spigen Ultra Hybrid case is obviously the closest comparison, but I prefer the less pronounced buttons on the sides as well as the slightly more rounded form.
The case also comes with a template card for you to place on images and make your own inserts for behind the back cover (which i can't see most people using, but its a nice thought).
Only real issue with the case comes from the fact that the back is clear, and any dust which gets between the plastic and the black back of the phone is very visible.

Does the case come with a glass screen protector? or do I need to buy it separately?

Nope, thats not a glass screen protector that's the template for making paper backings

Do you know if a glass screen protector works with this case?

Don't you have some "watermarks" on the clear back?

The case shouldn't interfere as long as the screen protector doesn't go to the extreme edge of the actual glass. I'm currently using a screen protector that is only about 0.5mm from the glass edge and there no case/screen protector contact or bubbling.

Waaaay less than the Nexus 4 one, and only a few specks near each corner. Not a real turn-off

I actually ordered both, and use the Spigen version for the reason you don't. I like the better defined buttons on the Spigen Hybrid.
I ended up ordering 6 cases and the Spigen Hybrid is my favorite I use every day. Just be sure to peel the almost invisible shipping film from both sides of the clear case.

With my N4, my go to case is the Rinke Fusion and the first gen at that! Anyone who had the first gen release knows that the buttons were hard as nails and have virtually no feedback. I lived with it, and got used to it, but in the back of my mind, it's a flaw and I know it lol.
Now with the N5, I looked at the Fusion, but because of my personal experience with the first gen fusion case, I opted for the Spigen. It was personal preference actually. I prefer the button layout, even though the power button is pretty sensitive. I like the more "squared" look of the Spigen's back side compared to the Fusion as you pictured in the OP. Not knocking it at all. The fusion looks nice, but my grey Spigen is my current go to. However saying that, I am awaiting the white candygel Spigen case and I'll see how that works. And IMO resembles the fusion a bit lol.

I have this case and love it. I photocopied the barcode on my gym card and stuck it under the case so I don't have to take out my keys when I go to the gym. Works perfectly.

hi, I've got spiegen case and the rinkge. I prefer ringe because it's thinner, it doesn't rub off the screen protector as the spiegen. The transparent back it's hard to scratch, spiegen was so soft and in two days looked hoffible. I don't like only one think and it's on the transparent back I've got two cyrcle..and I don't know why..Does anybody have the cyrcle like me??? Tnx

Mime Vs Nillkin Vs Glass-M Vs Spigen GLAS

I want to buy a tempered glass screen for N5 within a week or two. But I can't decide between :
1)Mime Ghost Glass or Feather Glass
2)Glass-M tempered glass
3)Nillkin tempered glass
4)SPIGEN GLAS
Currently, I am slightly inclined towards Mime(read good reviews). I heard that SPIGEN GLAS has some issues and the fix can take a while. I guess that is out of my option. My Requirements are : a) the touch should work fine b) no bubbles c)should work fine with a case.
Can you please suggest me which one to buy?
Thanks in advance,

I just received my Nillkin protector. I'm hoping to install it tonight so I will try to post some pictures for you. My first impressions are that the packaging is great and the camera protector (not glass) seems great. The kit for installation is pretty good too. Can't wait to install it.
If it turns out to be rubbish I'll plump for a MIME one. Everyone speaks very highly of them.

I had the (defective) Spigen GLAS.tr, and am still waiting for that replacement.
Applied the MIME Ghost last night and I can say that it's one of the best glass protectors I've ever used in terms of feel, rounded edges, adhesion (even after a couple of pull-offs and re-applications, to get rid of specks with scotch tape), and so forth.
Put it this way - I have a replacement Spigen on the way at some point, as well as a pair of the Nillkin units - but I just finished ordering another MIME Ghost in case something happens to this one.

Think about orzly glass screen protector, put mine about a week ago flawlessly, no bubbles, very good touch and feeling response, cut out are perfect
And is laminated glass, a thin plastic sheet coupled with glass, same as car windscreen, don't know if other are laminated or tempered glass

I bought the Nillkin tempered glass screen protector. First time ever using tempered glass and I will never go back to anything else. It simply blows me away and looks great. It genuinely looks like I'm going naked screen wise. No air bubbles, comes with instructions and all the necessities. Overall I highly recommend. :good:

That's good to know. Mine should arrive today or tomorrow!

I bought the Nilkin, and I am waiting for it. I bought it mainly because the price was low, I hope it will be of good quality

Glad somebody has had a good experience with the NIllkin. Didn't get a chance to fit mine tonight so will have to do it tomorrow. Do you have a case with yours Benman715?

I relieved the MIME and just put it on. It looks great fits great and I can't even tell its there.
Only downside is it took me a couple tries to get it on straight and now I have a couple pieces of lint under it

I've had my Nillkin fitted for the past 24hours or so, I'm very happy with it. Excellent quality, fitted up perfectly, looks/feels great and it was a good price.

I loved the MIME Ghost glass and Feather glass on the HTC One and will be looking to get one of them soon for the N5. My Spigen GLAS.tR totally carcked it so got a refund for that. Never tried the Nillkin. Has anyone actually tested the theory of the Nillkin being "anti-explosion"? LOL.

Anyone tested these with polarized sunglasses? Specifically the Mime or Nillikin
--Dan

Can anyone with any of these glass screen protectors comment on wether there is or would be any affect of the cutouts being over the camera and sensor versus only a cutout for the earpiece.
Also Can anyone report whether any of these glass screen protectors resist fingerprints well or not?

Just ordered a Nillkin, will let y'all know what its like when I get it.

Yes I do. I have the spigen hybrid case. Overall I'm smitten with the look and feel of tempered glass. The case is a fingerprint magnet unfortunately. Best of luck with everyone who ordered tempered glass. Its well worth it IMO.

Does anyone have any photos of MIME, Nilkin, Glass-M? (I have Spigen GLAS.tr which has a lifted corner)
But I heard that Spigen GLAS nano's are coming out soon.

Is anyone as annoyed as me with Spigel's absolutely ridiculous line of product and naming choices? No clarity between feature, functionality, what's what, etc. Add in the Amazon factor and it's pure chaos. They might have the best cases, but they need some serious help in business management. If I ran their company, I'd have addressed this immediately.
Anecdotally, I'm nowhere near the first confused person. Someone much smarter than I (which, really, is most people) found their offerings wildly confusing and simply ordered one of everything before deciding to return all but the one which suited him best. I did the same given their complete inanity.
--Dan

I got the defective Spigen glass and just received nillkin tempered glass and installed it about an hour ago.
It seems good overall and unlike Spigen glass, it has a cut out for the proximity sensor.
there are small bubbles with nillkin protector and I am hoping it would disappear by tomorrow.
I've always loved spigen's protectors, but this time it was a big NO NO.

I mentioned this on another thread but my Orzly after 5days of use was scratched quite a bit. I've no idea how as it only sat in my pocket.
I have a Nilikin on order but I'm currently using a £5 'helicopter blade coating' protector I got on eBay and it's great, no Orange peel and you really couldn't tell it's there. Still like the glass protectors though so I'll go with the Nilikin when it arrives.

Mime ghost glass is out of stock. I have sent them an email. If it won't be available within a week, I am buying nillkin. Or as someone suggested, I may buy both.

Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Post pictures with proof of fit if you're going to claim no Halo etc.
I was very disappointed that I could never find a good tempered glass screen protector for my LG V30.
Please post about your tempered glass screen protectors for your G7 ThinQ so we can help each other find the best one ( if there is one ) for this phone.
I ordered this one from Amazon.. I'll report back after I try it

I just received my lg g7 today and apied the screen protector you posted. it feels fine, but the sides and the bottom have an air gap . I am assuming it may be slightly rounded at the sides which is why it's not sticking down completely. It works for now since I can't really see it too badly. But I do wish to find one that sticks on the phone completely flat

bummer I was hoping it would lay flat. My protector arrives tomorrow and my phone arrives on the 7th

I ordered this one: https://www.amazon.com/ThinQ-Temper...3941&sr=8-1&keywords=lg+g7+invisible+defender
All 3 arrived with smudges and scratches on them already so I will be returning them. I tried one of them anyway and it seems your application has to be really precise because of the curved edges.

I'm only rolling with one kind of protector... I have them on both my phones I use daily now... I don't mind paying the extra cash bc I know the quality will be top notch... No pun intended..

GPEL is the best out of the 5 other brands I've tried for the LG G7
Every other brand that I’ve tried had either adhesive only around the borders that caused touch sensitivity issues and some other clear screen protectors were too small and it did not cover the whole display area.
GPEL’s LG G7 tempered glass is the first glass I've used that actually seats perfectly with full adhesive on the entire screen, had no bubbles, no sensitivity issues and it was super easy to install.

I bought the Techmatte amFilm version. Mostly based off of the wirecutter review found here: https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-iphone-screen-protectors/
Granted that's for iPhone but the tests they did should be the same. I've got it installed and it was super easy, no bubbles, no problems.

Is the cause of the halo due to curved screens? I thought the G7 didn't have a curved screen like the V30

screen protector recommendation

Hello I just recently got my self a pixel 2 XL and I'm looking for a good screen protector. I've done some looking around and found ALOT of options but it seems that screen protector quality has gone way down since I last bought one (for an older phone).
What I'm looking for:
a temptered glass, non do matrix, case friendly, non edge adhesive screen protector that doesn't cost an arm and a leg (for what the product is).
If anyone has had a good experience with anything that would fit the criteria please let me know.
Thank you for any and all responses and recommendations.

I dunno which ones like other people but for me is important protec edge to edge, curved screen protector. I found ome on amazon:

I saw those, and I like the idea and the product seemsd really well reviewed just really pricy for a screen protector. I mean I have most of the stuff that makes those good (i.e. loca, uv lamp) I just don't have the actual screen protector.

Had the Pixel 2 XL since the release and I also used glass protectors but they're just nowhere near as good as they are for other phones. It's really odd that there aren't more affordable screen protectors besides the Whitedome or whatever it's called. It's also the one that I refuse to spend that much money on, lol.
The reviews on Amazon are also insane since a crap ton of them are fake reviews besides the 1 star ones. Although this isn't a glass protector, keep this one in mind. [emoji106]
After trying multiple brands of screen protectors, mainly curved ones, I decided to try a film one. After messing with the S10 and watching the review on this screen protector, I gave it a shot, and hands down, I don't regret it. Has to be my favorite so far, even though I was iffy about it at first.

Three main thing keeping me away from the film screen protectors it's they usually have noticeably more resistance during use than the tempted glass alternatives. How did that one feel when using?

It feels more like the protector that comes with the S10. It's a wet apply, and feels really smooth compared to the other film protectors. I know the film type you're talking about, and I've used this one for 8 days now. I guess the only bad part about this screen would be if you get something under it.
If you do happen to mess up during installation, it says they'll send you another one no problem, but I recommend at least giving this one a shot. [emoji14]

I've recently started using Screenknight film screen protector, and whilst it does have more resistance than a glass screen ... Using it with my Unicorn Beetle Pro (after removing the built in screen protector) it makes my phone feel indestructible ... Much better than the glass because it wraps around the edge of the screen which is then covered completely with my case ... I'd does a have a very slight "orange peel" effect if looking in the right light, but all in all I'm much happier with this than any of the many glass screens I have tried and wasted money on !

Question Outer/Cover Display Screen Protector

Can anyone recommend a tempered glass or other quality screen protector for the outer cover display? Something that you've personally used and can vouch for.
Thanks in advance!

Same. Front protector scratched on me 1st day. Also peeled up when I was opening. Need to replace.

Yep. Mine was basically destroyed on day 1 with normal use.

Whitestone has a ez screen protector and also a liquid adhered protector. I have installed ez one without trouble since a few days before official release and it's still holding strong. You also get 2 for like $10 so you can't really beat it

Looks like it might have trouble fitting properly if used with a case. The black border looks problematic. Have you used it with a case and, if so, do you have any pics or comments on that? Thanks.

I'm trying to figure out the best front screen protector as well. I would prefer tempered glass but have only seen a couple and not in stock at the moment. Still have the stock one on it but it's starting to bubble and peel/Crack on the sides.

I'm using these white stone dome front tempered glass screen protector. I got two of them for $10. They work decent with a case. But make sure it is a minimalistic case like the Samsung carbon fiber.

I am currently using samsungs silicone case and there is no problems with it coming off. Have not tried with a heavy duty case but I honestly don't see it as a problem

I got my leather case (samsung one) today and love it. However as soon as i applied it the cover screen plastic protector came off in the edge so i just removed it.
since it seems pretty thick on the inside - is there any 9h glass available yet which fits with the case? Or can i go to a samsung store and they reapply the plastic one on the cover screen?
i dont mind paying

I'm using the Whitestone glass screen protector. NOT the EZ. I've used it on all my phones since it was first released, including I Note devices and the Z Fold 2.

I use this for Extra protection

Whitestone Dome Glass UV.

I'm waiting on these to get delivered to me today actually. The stock one on my front screen is starting bubble and peel up on the side. My case kinda covers it up but the stock one is also picking up quite a few scratches. Hopefully these will do the job. Isn't that easy to fine a good tempered glass screen protector for this device. Spigen looks to be coming out with one but not available yet.

I had Spigen EZ for front screen and it is crap. Peeled off next day and applied Whitestone Dome.

Hmm, not sure what that one is. I haven't seen a front screen protector from Spigen anywhere. The one I was referring to is the one below, which is the only one on their site and doesn't appear to be out yet since it says coming soon.

Yeah, exactly this one. My mistake I wrote EZ.
In UK is available from Amazon.

Anyone got a recommendation for a good case? Id normally use Spigen but some of their case prices are ambitious to say the least.

I'm using the Ringke Slim and I really like it. I ordered the Spigen S Pen case, but it won't ship for another week or so. Looks bigger than I'd like, but definitely need something I can switch to when I really need to carry the S Pen and don't want to have it loose in a pocket.
I also ordered the official Samsung Aramid case (which also won't arrive for another week or two). Based on the reports I've read and the pics I've seen, the Aramid appears to be the slimmest case available for the ZF3. I hate bulky cases, especially on a device that's as large as the ZF3, so I'm guessing I'll probably settle on the Aramid for 90% of my daily use.

Thanks buddy, how are you finding the ringke slim? I was keen on that until i read a few amazon reviews mentioning the case had scratched their devices? Have you had any such issue? Would be good to hear if you used the sticky pads and if they are easy/hard to remove.

Great case. No scratches. Not sure how anyone scratched their Fold with this case. You'd have to be pretty damn careless to do that. I used the adhesive strips.
