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?

Also, did you put the screen protector on? do the proximity sensor, front facing camera, and all that still function perfectly?
I just saw a few reviews for spigen products. I myself ordered the slim armor. By any chance have you tried their glad.tr? Do these cases have a strong feel to them?

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.

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.

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.

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).

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've been on the fence about the smart shell 'cause I don't usually like cases with the front flap... but at $15 including next day shipping (Prime rocks), it's worth a try.

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.
Spigen announced their popular ultra hybrid for the m8. i had one of these for my nexus 5 and it was a nice case.

I just got the UH inn silver today.. Overall very nice case. Seems a bit better made then the supcase hybrid. The power button is covered which prevents the IR blaster from working but nothing a little razor blade couldn't fix

Pre-ordered mine several weeks ago. Received it yesterday even though Amazon says it inst supposed to ship until the end of May. I had the Ultra Fit capsule as well, but returned it due to the yellow coloring. The Ultra Hybrid doesn't have the yellow coloring, fits well. Had to immediately return mine though as there was a small crack in the back cover. Overall, pretty decent case if you can go without the IR blaster...didnt try to see if it worked with the case, but assumed it did not.

It shows on Amazon and Spigen as not available until the end of the May, but received mine early. I cant post pics, as I said I immediately sent mine back due to crack in the back. Once I get my replacement, I can post pics, but perhaps someone else will post pics before then.

Just picked up the unicorn beetle pro (the otter box level one ) and just wanted to say it is a great case, I'm not much for writing reviews but can answer any questions if anyone else was looking at this case. It seems super durable, it's thick but reasonably so, the ir /power button has a clear cover so it still functions. The rubber sides are much harder than an otter box and don't pull on and off when you pull it from your pocket like some other cases.

I'll add to the positive reviews of this case. I ordered it early through Amazon so I too got it at a great price figuring I had very little to lose. I'm extremely pleased with most aspects of this case. I'm coming from an M7 with a UAG case so I have something good to compare this case to. Best things about this case are:
-built-in screen protector with tacky back. this keeps the plastic protector in constant contact with the screen so not air gaps like LifeProofs iPhone case
- completely covered plastic power button. much better IMO than UAG's slotted rubber button because it provide tactile feedback
-port covers. keeps the dust out
-very little metal is exposed. the camera lenses on back have the typical case protection but I really like the plastic around the speaker grills. looks good and looks like it'll provide adequate protection from most anything short of extreme sports
The only thing that I don't like is that the back of the case has a slight curve to it versus the flat back of the UAG case. But I figure this is why the Unicorn Beetle doesn't feel so bulky.
I was planning on only using this case for when I'm doing yard work, hiking, or playing in the park but I'm happy enough with it at this point that I'll likely leave it on most of the time. It's a great value, even at the current price. I will watch the price closely on this and probably pick up another one if the price drops.
Here we go!
I popped out the plastic screen cover and removed the residue. Case still fits great with my Nillkin Glass screen protector!
The other case is the regular Unicorn Beetle so you can see the size difference.
Sorry delete
Yeah built in screen protector is not that bad but doesn't work well with a wet apply style below it as I had one on mine , they stick together. I'm going to order a glass one and pop out the plastic eventually but the built in is good enough for now

Gestures
Got the case today, and seems like a pretty stout case. I removed my clear plastic as I have a SpartanShield screen protector on it. Customized it a little to my needs... Added mesh on the speakers. It didn't mess with the FFC much, but has a slight difference. I need this mesh as I'm a machinist, and have always had to dig out metal shavings. My main concern is since I've installed this case I havent had much luck with getting gestures to work. It seems like sometimes it doesn't work at all, and other times it seems fine. Didn't know of anyone has had this experience yet.
I haven't had any issues with the touchscreen, but I have a glass screen protector. Loving this case so far. Very well made. Way better than my Otterbox Commuter.

Didn't know of anyone has had this experience yet.

Gestures working fine for me and I have fat fingers.

I haven't had any issues with the touchscreen, but I have a glass screen protector. Loving this case so far. Very well made. Way better than my Otterbox Commuter.

Did you remove the plastic screen protector before applying the case? If not, did the glass screen protector cause a gap between the plastic around the speakers?
Edit: Whoops never mind. just saw your previous post about the screen protector
I wanted to buy? what do you think?
this would be a great work case, mych more sturdy then just aplain clear case
My baby well protected even IR blaster work

I was looking for a good transparent case for my M8. First I ordered the Atmosphere case from Poetic and it was very HARD material and I was not comfortable using it. While looking for alternatives, i founds this.

I am very satisfied with this. It is only 7$. Also comes in variety of colors. I went for the conservative Black. All cutouts are quite precise. Only bad thing I found was that it did not have a cutout for the IR blaster. Since I did not use this functionality, it was fine with me. The back is crystal clear and shows off the beauty of the phone. It is a minimal case and wont protect the phone much from drops I believe (am yet to drop it, nope I never do!!). Installing this without any dust in the case is a bit painstaking, but once installed, it does not let further dust in. I have been using this for 5 days now and am impressed. If anyone wants any more details/pics please let me know.
Here are some pics:
For this price, will try out, want to see how it compares to the Kaycase.
Slippery?

It is smooth but has a slight sticky grip to it. I am not sure how I can convey it through words. Its definitely better that Atmosphere case from poetic and also better than using it naked (I nearly dropped it twice using it naked and with atmosphere case).
Looks like thunder and lightning. Bring a umbrella.

Did you get it yet? Liked it?
Does it scratch easily? I had the Kaycase and liked it at first but then it started to scratch easily.

From nearly 2 weeks of usage, I can say that it DOES get a few scratches. Not bead enough for me to abandon ship yet. But from the way it is going, I ,may have to get rid of this after a month or 2.

Havent received it yet .
I've had this case for a couple months. A lot of versions of this case all over eBay/Amazon. I LOVE it. Provides just the right amount of protection, while still allowing me to show off the beauty of the phone. I just took a Xacto/Utility knife and cut out the little piece covering the power button so that I could use the IR blaster. Easy. Took 20 seconds tops and looks no different. You cant even tell it was there. Its a little harder to depress the power button without the raised section on the case, but I use double tap to wake and sleep so that isnt much of an issue. I rarely have to use the power button anyway. I definitely recommend this case. Got it for about $6 shipped on eBay.
I got my Green version friday and used it over the weekend.
I really nice the feel and fit and really like the colour combination.
BUT there is a MAJOR downside to it: it has TERRIBLE flash bleed!
I got my black case and I absolutely love it! I love the rubber feel on the side and the transparent back; I feel as if its the only case I have seen that still shows the beauty of the phone off. I also got a tempered glass screen protector from the same buyer and I am very happy .
I don't understand why these case company keep interfering with the flash, if they just made the camera/flash cutout bigger then there would be no problem.

Maybe they don't test camera flash during their case design phase.

I've had and used this case for a couple of days now and I only have one thing to complain about:
The blasted volume buttons are so hard to depress!!!
I have a very similar case and my only complaint is that the clear back scratches easily and quickly, as opposed to - say - the Spiggen clear one that lasted much longer before inevitably scratching.
