Hi,
So I have the white N5.
I have now bought 2 cases for it from Spigen.
I started with the Ultra Fit Smooth White. I liked the case, and it's feel, but it did not show the nice N5 back.
So I bought the Ultra Fit Crystal. The looks better because it shows the back of the N5, but it attracts finger smudges like crazy !
In addition, I installed the screen protector that came with both cases, same issue, fingers all over.
So my search is still on, I'm looking at the Ringke Fusion and I'm wondering if the clear back will cause me the same issues.
Do you guys know of any cases that are clear but in a matte or smooth finish.
Thanks,
:good:
Hello guys,

Thanks

You'll struggle to find someone with all 3 to give an accurate review.
my suggestion is use youtube and work out which one best suits your needs.
this is what i did and i decided on the spigen rugged Armour case.(the neo hybrid wasn't available at the time).
ive dropped my phone twice and its survived both times. i also take it mountain biking so i goes through a lot..
it looks nice too.
I have the spigen rugged armor and its great, nice protection, confortable and it looks amazing!
If you want the best protection case buy rinho shield.
I was on galaxy s7 with rhinoshield bumper and i loved it...now i'm on 3T and i want to rebuy the rhinoshield but there are only 2/3 colors red excluded...i'm thinking in alternative to buy this in red color manufactured by diztronics

Colors are not a problem for me, i'm just looking for a good protective case
And what about flip covers ?

I got the Nillkin Nature TPU case... its fantastic with the OnePlus 3T. Does it's job. The reason I bought this case is because I have the original OnePlus 3T Curved Screen Protector installed on it, and it's the only case that doesn't push the screen protector off its edges.
Here is a link if you want to see how it looks: http://www.nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=&id=6263&page=1

here is a video review of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMIagklQJjw
Rhino shield user here. I've used various Spigen on other phones. My favourite case of all time, which I used on a Note 5, was the Ringke fusion, but that wasn't available when I got my 3T, is available now and at a good price.
I like the Rhino because it's minimal and you can still feel the lovely bare metal of the body and appreciate the colour of the back. I have dropped my phone a couple of times and it landed face down and has remained unmarked, If you like to swap cases, then stay away from the Rhino, it's too much of a pain to keep removing. I've also found the slider has missed a couple of times - no big deal. Also, the cut outs limit the width of the head phone jack and charging cable (the original cable is fine).
Personally, I think the Rhino is over priced (£22 in the UK).
Although I'm not unhappy with the Rhino & don't regret buying it, I'd probably go Ringke fusion from Amazon for every day use and Spigen slim armour when I want more protection.
Hope that helps.
I use "Shock proof case with stand"
Let it be any company/brand, everything is just the same, I'd remove the stand and use it as a normal case which is very sturdy at the edges, I use this type of case for all my mobiles Moto g2, Moto g4 plus, Oneplus 3T. Cheers

I have both Spigen Rugged Armor and RhinoShield Crashguard.
I once dropped my 3T when it's in Spigen with screen facing down the concrete (it slipped from my hand when I took it out from my jeans tight pocket) and fortunately, the screen survived without any cracks.
I don't have a chance yet to drop my 3T when it is in RhinoShield (I don't want to. LoL). But my personal favorite (and current daily case) is RhinoShield because of its open back design so I can feel the 3T "space grade" alumunium casing
However, with RhinoShield at first you gonna feel that it is too hard to remove and re-install the bumper. But if you watch carefully their official video guide on how to remove and install this case you should be fine. Now I can remove and install this bumper with ease.
Also, another downside is, I cannot use my Sennheiser HD202 headphone with Rhino installed, my other headphone is Audio Technica ATH-M50x is just fine.

Mine is tudia tamm rugged carbon fiber texture case, dopped my phone 2x while typing, slipped from hands while taking it out from my pocket but nothing happen to my 3t phone, not even a scratch on the display, got no screen protector, i pulled the pre applied screen protector as it doesnt work well with the tudia case
I finally bought the Spigen rugged Armor with Orly screen protector. I have a good feeling with it but i'll maybye buy the RhinoShield later.
I'm still taking your opinion if some one else want to buy it !
The Rhino shield is very tough, but there is a down side, it is really really slippery. Also it it very very hard to take off.
I returned mine got the Spigen rough armor and i like it better. Not as slippery
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
@rhinoshield crash bumper was great, but my only downside was. thr qrphone cannot fit. too small
Do you guys know any tempered glass that can fit with the rhinoshield bumper case ?
Case reviews: Rhinoshield CrashGuard & SolidSuit, Zeking Ultra Slim, Crave Slim Guard
i've used a number of cases that you can easily purchase from amazon before including the spigen tough armor, spigen neo hybrid, spigen crystal shell, ringke fusion and the rhinoshield crashguard. I think the 2 most important aspects of a good phone case is reinforced corner protection and elevated front edge to protect the screen. When I got the pixel 2 XL, I started looking for a slim yet protective case and I ended up trying the 4 cases below. I used each case about 1-2 weeks and thought I'd share my thoughts. I did receive the Rhinoshield cases from the company for free but they are not involved with my write up in any way, shape or form.
The photos attached are in accordance to the order of which the cases are reviewed.
Rhinoshield CrashGuard bumper case:
This was my favorite case when I had my galaxy s7 and when I moved on to the LG G5 then G6, I was disappointed to find out that they don't make the CrashGuard for them.
From my experience using this case with the galaxy s7 (which I had for about a year before it was stolen...), this case simply works. I am not the best when it comes to handling my phone therefore it gets dropped a lot; this case really does the job well when it comes to impact protection while being minimalistic. During the past 2 weeks with the case, I've dropped my pixel 2 a few times from different heights, mostly from standing height and some from when I get out of the car and the case has been effective. According to Rhinoshield, their cases have a 11.5 ft impact resistance rating which supposedly far exceeds the " US MILITARY DROP TEST STANDARD".
Many others have commented on how slippery this case is. Well, it is and that's because Rhinoshield now coats the cases to make them more stain resistant. For me, personally, I don't mind as I find it easier to slide in and out of my pockets.
Some physical changes I've noticed is that the case fits A LOT more snug to the point where it is quite difficult for me to take the phone out of the case. That's an inconvenience for me as I fly a drone here and there and in order for the phone to fit into the remote controller I have to take the case off. Now I may have to buy a separate phone holder for the remote controller. Another change that's worth pointing out is that in my old s7 case, the raised lip on the back of the case was more pronounced at the corners and the top and bottom edges. This gave me more of a piece of mind since it is a bumper case and the back of the phone is exposed. However, it seems like they have eliminated that from their design of the new cases and I wish they kept that. Lastly, now you can change up the color of the power button but the colored buttons have to be purchased separately. The power button is very responsive but the volume rocker you'd have to press a little bit harder.
Other non-noticeable changes they've made since I had their case for the s7 is they now use a different material (fancy name 'ShockSpread Material') for their cases which is suppose to be lighter, thinner but just as protective and durable.
The case is friendly with their screen protectors, as well with the Sparin TPU screen protector that I got from amazon. In terms of skin, it will not work with the Dbrand precision fit skin but fine with standard fit. However, it will leave an indent on the standard fit skin as shown in photos.
Lastly, if you happen to have a Feiyu tech SPG-c gimbal, with the heaviest counterweights the phone with this case just barely works.
Rhinoshield SolidSuit
Overall, very similar to the CrashGuard bumper case.
I'll highlight the differences:
- compatible with the RhinoShield add-on lens
- of course, heavier and bulkier (heaviest of the 4)
- feels very solid because of the overall construction, as well the back is protected
- most of the finishing is the same as the CrashGuard, however the back of mine has the carbon fiber finishing which I guess made it less slippery
- volume rocker is much more responsive than the CrashGuard
- did not work at all with the Feiyu tech SPG-c gimbal
Zeking ultra slim TPU case from amazon canada
In my opinion, very good case. For less than $10, you get padded corner protection plus raised front edge without much added bulkiness; this is just as good as cases such as ones from Spigen or Ringke but for 1/3 or 1/2 the price.
It is made of TPU and I haven't had the case long enough to speak about yellow-ing, but the TPU feels decent not cheap. On the inside of the back of the case, there are these microdots and I can't understand their purpose. You can actually feel them when you brush you finger across. The side buttons are responsive, clicky. A really thoughtful and unique design is that along the sides of the case the TPU's texture is different and it allows for better grip (almost like there's a very smooth sandpaper strip). The advantage of this case in comparison to the two Rhinoshield cases above is that it does feel slimmer in hand.
When it comes to impact protection, it doesn't have that "over 11 ft of impact protection" that's marketed for the Rhinoshield cases, however the few times I dropped the phone in this case it was completely fine.
I did try to use this case with the Dbrand 'precise fit' skin. It will not work well with the skin if you have the tendency to take your phone in and out of the case. As i took my phone out, it lifted the skin that goes around the the corner on the side of the phone. On the other hand, the 'standard fit' skin did just fine. In terms of screen protectors, it is compatible with the Sparin TPU screen protector as well as the protectors from Rhinoshield.
Similar to the Rhinoshield CrashGuard, this barely worked with my Feiyu Tech SPG-c gimbal.
Crave Slim Guard from amazon canada
This case is very similar to the Ringke Fusion in a sense that both have the TPU bumper that goes around the case, and the clear polycarbonate back. This case, however, has a very pronounced elevated front lip to the point where it almost feels like the phone is sunken in inside the case. It's very good if you're looking for extra raised front protection, however when you're swiping left or right on the screen you will feel the edge more so than the other cases. It may help if the company just round off the raised edges a little bit more. A thoughtful part of their design is that they raised the back corners a tiny bit; my guess is they are there to raise the back a little bit so when you sit the phone on a flat surface it doesn't scratch up the polycarbonate back. All the buttons super responsive and clicky; probably the best buttons of the 4 cases. The phone does feel pretty slim in this case and I think even slimmer than the Zeking TPU case. I don't remember dropping my phone while using this case, but based on its construction it should do just as good as the Ringke Fusion case but definitely not as good as the other 3 cases above.
Overall I think this case is just as good as the Ringke Fusion if not better protection because of the pronounced elevated front edge. Keep in mind, from my experience using these cases with a polycarbonate back they will get scratched up over time and you will see more finger print smudges.
When it comes to compatibility with skin and screen protectors, it is the same as above.
Similar to the Rhinoshield CrashGuard and ZeKing ultra slim, this barely worked with the Feiyu Tech SPG-c gimbal.
Long review but hope this helps. I will start another post for my screen protectors review as well as a review of the add-on lens from RhinoShield.
Nice reviews! Kudos
My fav is the Zeking ultra slim TPU!
Not related to the topic, but can you tell me where you get the yellow skin for your Pixel? I'm interested in that yellow lock button.

The yellow power button is from rhinoshield. you can purchase the colored buttons separately on their site and it's compatible with their cases.
Thanks for your detailed review. One thing is that I tried Ringke Fusion and Crave Slim Guard; I think Ringke Fusion does provide a bit more of FRONT lip, doesn't it?

I don't have the exact measurements and my experience with the ringke fusion is with the lg g6 case. To me it seems like the crave slim guard has a slightly more raised front lip than the ringke fusion but then i am not comparing apple to apple.
Update:
I stuck with my RhinoShield Crashguard and it has protected my phone... extremely well. I have lost count how many times I've dropped it face down, down the stairs, and more.... yep, a bit clumsy with phones.
I stayed at this villa in Bali, and it literally tumbled down these stairs from top to bottom..and my phone remains immaculate. (except when i was in Bali I decided to use it briefly without the case..and of course I dropped it..... )
Included photos of the case with the worst scratches and also...the staircase where it literally bounced its way down...
hi, i am looking for a transparent case for the oneplus 7 pro...i have the nebula blue version and i really like that color. right now i'm using the stock silicone case which came in the original package. it looks very nice but it makes the 7 pro even bigger. that's why i'd like to know if there is a protective case like the original carbon/sansdstone - just transparent? searching for that brings me only to other silcone cases like from nigrin for example....

I'm basically in the same place you are while not wanting to hide the blue color but finding the included case distracting from the sleek feel of the device. I've currently taken a chance on this case "OnePlus 7 Pro,360° Full Body,Front and Back of Clear Touchable HD Tempered Glass" and am hoping it serves the intent. It comes from China so is currently taking a long time to be delivered.
Previously with a OnePlus 5 I combined a dbrand skin to protect the back, tempered glass screen cover and an aluminum frame edge protector. This combination left my OnePlus 5 in almost pristine shape (zero scratches) while maintaining the sleek feel of the design. On previous phones I had gone with the traditional name brand bumper cases but was always annoyed at how they made pressing the buttons less sensitive plus the added bulk. You couldn't deny the added protection though.
When the case finally arrives I'll likely post a comment in the case thread.

Love this one.
Is the lip of the spigen tough armor equal on all 4 sides? or does it dip like most others? I guess because of the curved sides it has to dip? Hybrids and Caseology both are not raised up at the sides.

It's raised on the top and bottom but not on the sides. But still plenty of clearance when you put your phone face down on a flat surface with a glass screen protector on it.

The official overpriced piece of junk from Google. Thought it'd be similar in quality to the fabric case I had on my 4XL. Nope - it's no better than a $10 case from Amazon. Too lazy to return it.
I'm using the official case, which looks great but is very slippery. I'm gonna look for something with better grip.

You cracked it because of a fall in the case? I actually did that with my 4 XL in a Latercase but that's my fault cause it was on my lap. Edge protection is the same. It's only as thick/thin as the case is and the top, bottom, and buttons are open. It's more of an increase grip, scratch, and drop to a rug/carpeted area protection type of case for me.

I'm really liking my rhinoshield solidsuit. Looks and feels good.
And it gives me some confidence when my old hands inevitably drop this beauty.
Lmao!!
I ordered both the Spigen Tough Armor and the CYRILL Stone. The Tough undoubtedly offers better protection (it's better padded and provides better protection around the edges of the screen), but, understandably, it's a lot bulkier. It makes an already big phone feel enormous. The Cyrill is much sleeker, so that's what I'm using daily. The phone just feels a lot better in the hand with the Cyrill than with the Tough Armor. Additionally, the edges of the Cyrill don't rise as high along the sides of the screen. This is bad because it doesn't offer as much protection for the screen, but it's good because it provides a much nicer experience when swiping/scrolling on the edges. The buttons on the Cyrill are also better. All of the buttons on the Tough Armor are raised to the same level in an almost unbroken line, making hard to find them by touch.
I may swap the out for the when I'm doing something that risks the phone more than usual, but I think the Cyrill is probably fine for daily use.
In case folks haven't seen it, Android Police has a nice rundown of some their favorite cases for the P6Pro:

I happened to have a bellroy voucher so ended up with their official leather case . Really happy actually, feels good, gives good grip, offers more protection than I thought with a good lip around the screen. Lovely soft inside , side buttons are really good .
