Metal bumper case question.. For those who own one.

Does your metal bumper case have a slight raise from the side to prevent scratches to both front and back especially the camera lens?
Do you think it would fit with a slim case?
Please post a link where you bought it.
Thank you very much and pardon my engrish!

If you worry about the back, maybe you can just buy a spare battery cover from eBay. I got 2 and they are about 8 dollars each and they are both with nfc

I bought one a couple of weeks ago. I think the aluminium case gives good screen protection, but although it is reasonably low profile the few millimetres each side do seem to make the Note 2 feel much bigger. I personally don't think it's the most elegant case, they look OK from the front, but the back doesn't seem to follow the flow of the stock battery case too well.
Don't get me wrong, the phone fits in perfectly without any movement but not my cup of tea. I lose one bar on the phone signal when the case is on, NFC is fine.
Possibly a like or hate accessory!

Thanks for all the replies. That was my main concern. I wanted a metal bumper case that has a slight rise to protect the camera lens. I'm going to buy a ballistic 3 layer protection case since GN2 can be easily damage even at waist height drop.
Why ballistic? Because its relatively cheap, unlike otterbox and offers awesome drop protection. Had one for E4GT and money worth spending.
Thanks again.

i use that one. slight raises on the front and back to protect the camera. It adds a little weight to the phone but its not unbearable. I actually like it. I also got the armror suit military shield screen and back protector. Screen protector was not compatible with the case, cause when I removed the phone from the case, the sliding portion of the front peeled the screen protector off. and the added thickness of the armorsuit full body protector makes it very snug in the case. probably the reason why it the screen protector peeled off as I was trying to remove it.

these bumper cases, esp the metal ones.. are they easy to remove/replace? As a frequent traveler, I switch batteries every night to make sure that i'll always have a fully charged spare.. I'd hate to use the bumper case where you need a small screw to open (i think I saw a bumper case like that once).

Where'd you buy yours? I'm looking for a coffee colored metal door.

If theres any UK users in this thread that wants a black aluminium bumper for free then let me know and PM me your address. I bought one to try along with a selection of cases but am unlikely to use it. Its a great fit for the phone and is a screwless design.......the front plate slides up and snaps into place. I bought it from the link below.

Luxury Flip Leather Case Cover Review w/ Video

Hey guys! Made a quick video review of a new case I just got in today. It's like Samsung's Flip Case, but with some added protection and a magnet that keeps it from moving and opening up when you don't want it to. Definitely recommend it!
Sorry for the random black spots during transitions, still new to this! I also need a DSLR camera and better tripod, haha.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RE9uU_tflM&feature=youtu.be

Yes, was thinking about this. Love my current Samsung Flip case but the lack of corner drop protection does make me a bit paranoid. I really wish someone made a case like this with a kickstand.

Does the back feel cheap at all? I'm kind of a branding snob. Does the generic look take away from the quality? How does the hinge hold up when you fold the top back? Does it fold back completely and easily?
Does the magnet cause s pen issues?

Doesn't feel cheap at at all, the phone looks even better in my personal opinion when it's closed, holds up well and doesn't bother me at all either while typing.

Nope, the magnet is to the side of the screen, so no interference at all. And the link to do the case is in the info on youtube. Just click to expand. I'll post it on here soon, too.
One issue, though, is it can be a bit difficult to grab the Spen, so if you use it often, that could be an annoyance.

I have exactly the same case, but I would not call it luxury, either from the price (I paid $7 on ebay) or the quality.

OP's case does looks nicer and more premium than my similar case, mine even has Samsung on the metal magnet clip on the cover, but looks and feels like total crap, tossed it to the trash can as soon as I got it.
I'm currently waiting for Amigo flip case, looks super nice from the pic, no magnet though.

There's a few other listings of "luxury" cases
that look similar but aren't the same. If it I'd the same though, I guess it could be a matter of personal preference? I personally love the soft, textured feel of the case. Feels quite nice to hold.

I have the same case as the OP and didn't notice until watching his video that the blue on the latch is only protective tape. I peeled it off and now it's a nice stainless/chrome look.
I can only grab the S-Pen with my little fingernail, but it should be easy enough to cut/file/Dremel the slot a little bigger if it's enough of a problem.

Useful review. Case looks nice, but sadly, once again they forgot to have a cutout for the notification LED. I'd also prefer cutouts for better access to the volume buttons, as I use those a lot as shortcuts and when playing audio (with cases closed).
Most (or all cases ignore this however, especially the LED hole). And it should have a larger SPen cutout like this one. But looks ok for the price.

I agree, having that would be very nice. I may have my dad just got one out himself, actually. I mean sometimes its nice cause I don't always like to see if I have a notification, but for that I could just turn the case over. And with the cover I wouldn't have to worry about getting any scratches.

Quick question to the OP and the other person who owns this case. What type of corner protection does this offer? What material is used for the part that holds onto the phone? Is it a hard plastic like PC or is it a softer Silicone/TPU type material?

Mine is plain hard plastic. Part of one corner is gone due to a drop from less than two feet.

Owned this for 2 weeks until it started affecting the spen area around the magnet. no biggie if you dont use the spen just something to consider.

i've got this bumper as well as the bumper previously posted. i find this one to be more durable and study and it also goes over the back which stops your back cover and camera lens from touching whatever surface you put it on.
both can limit your options with accessories though since the ports for the headphones jack and microusb port are quite small and can block some accessories (it blocks my htc car charger and asus n7 2A charger so i ended up using a saw to cut a bit off the microusb area. still sturdy and durable.
the only thing i didnt like was that these cases arent grippy, so im just using an xtremeguard skin on the battery door since it adds a lot more grip.

if i remember correctly, on the note 2, according to the samsung tear down, the antenna isnt in the top corner, its on the lower part of the backside of the device (next to the speaker). signal on my device has not been affected.

I've been loving mines. Debating to grab other colors. As you see I replaced my back with a leather one just do to the oem cover being too slippery. I haven't noticed any loss in reception.

the cutouts are small and prevent you from using some accessories (some car chargers and headphones wont connect fully). its also only protecting the sides and the screen, it doesnt go over the back part at all so offers no back protection.
thats the reason why i ditched it for this one instead.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310537377953&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:AU:1123
this one has bigger cutouts, is slightly thicker (read sturdier and more durable) and goes over the back a bit as well to reduce the risk of grains of sand rubbing against your camera glass when you lay it on a table.

Ended up ordering this one.

The back is pennies to replace and I've put a small piece of screen protector over the camera, so I'm not too concerned about those two factors.

I have the gold push button aluminum bumper and the rounded silver zomgo bumper. Of the two I prefer the look of the zomgo however the opening for the usb port is way to small. I got a discount from the seller and dremeled the opening and the usb seats perfect now.
Originally I paired them with the matching aluminum battery cover however after trial and error I found the metal battery cover (not the bumper) was causing pretty serious the signal degradation. So I got the carbon fiber battery covers which work great without degrading the Wifi or LTE signal.

I hate how the metal plate could potentially come into contact with the screen. You grab it wrong and could push the flap sliding it over the screen, the metal plate will scratch the gorilla glass.

I opted for the genuine leather version of the Moko slim fit multi angle case. Absolutely perfect! Very nicely finished, fits beautifully, looks great. Opening for Pogo charger (stitched all around too). A bit more than the PU leather version, but it is very nice for $21.

This can't be true. It would depend on so many factors such as the specific metal, the shape of the metal where it comes into contact (a point, an edge, a curve..), the force of contact, etc. Gorilla glass isn't some mystical impervious material.

Just received my ultra-slim Moko. For $6 it's nice but I really wouldn't recommend it for a few reasons.
1) As mentioned before, the metal piece on the cover could potentially come in contact with your screen and scratch it.
2) When closed, the cover slides around. This is very obnoxious when you are walking around with your tablet in one hand. Basically, if you hold it vertical, the cover slides up while the tablet slides down from its weight. Over time this is just going to get worse as the cover loosens.
3) I'm having lots of trouble making it stand up in both positions and stay put. The triangle fold does not hold, I think due to poor choice of the size of each edge of the triangle. Maybe with time it will get better but it hasn't so far.
Overall this thing is just flimsy, although it does look and feel nice to the touch.

Pictures of Nexus 5 with SPIGEN Ultra Hybrid Case on

I got my Nexus 5 in the mail today and just thought I would share some pictures of the phone inside the SPIGEN Ultra Hybrid case for you guys. Let me know if you want other pics guys. Enjoy and sorry about the messy room. My brother dosent clean up after himself.
Edit: Added two new pictures of the back. I didnt realize there was a plastic on the inside and outside. So here is a much better look

Does the cutout for the flash reflect with the flash and distort pictures(or lighting within pictures) when the flash is used?

I did not put the screen protector on yet. I am about to do that right now. The case has a very nice premium feel to it with the phone. Fits tight and is not loose at all. I dont have to push down really hard for the buttons to click. You dont have to apply that much pressure or the buttons and all the cutouts are perfect. When taking photos with flash it does not affect the photos at all.

Very nice strong, premium feeling to it. Not cheep or flimsy at all!

I just ordered one of these about 15 minutes ago. It's going to be a rough few days with my worrying about scratching the phone without a case.
Hopefully this one will hold me over until I can get my hands on the official "bumper"

How are the buttons? Stiff? Clicky?

Did anybody try the regnorke brand one that's the same kind of thing with the clear back. I saw it on eBay and it seemed like they were the same thing but it had a little part jutting out so the screen won't touch the surface its laying on.

buttons are not stiff at all. You dont have to press down hard for the button to click, which has always been my problem with other tpu cases that cover buttons. On this case it feels as if your pressing on the button with nothing covering it at all. Its very nice

Is the back side frosted or clear?
I would like to put a skin on the back too but not with this brand if the case is hazzy.

i'm sold! i'm thinking of picking up the same case.

Thanks! I am a huge fan of the Ringke Fusion. My only concern was the buttons. I dislike TPU covered buttons. I will wait for mine to come in and cancel the Neo Hybrid.

Did you take the plastic off the case on the outside and inside? The rear plastic looks a bit hazy.

Nice! Now I just need someone to post some detailed pictures of the Nexus 5 with the Neo Hybrid case on. I've got the Neo Hybrid waiting at home until my phone arrives on Thursday.

I did not put the screen protector on yet. I am about to do that right now.

Please do let us know how the sensor and front camera fairs with the screen protector on.
