Spigen Neo Hybrid + Carbon Skin - Nexus 5 Accessories

I usually don't like the bulk that cases add to the phone but with a toddler girl I definately need a good protection. I bought the neo hydbrid and I really like it, i have some carbon look vinyl around and decided to make an skin to apply it the slippery back.
Here's how it looks

Here's the die (cut lines) in pdf, feel free to use is to cut what ever your want or modified it. Remember is a cut out for Neo Hybrid cases.

Beautiful, though I disagree on how significant the bulk added by the neo hybrid is. It's a protective case, any thinner and there would be no protection.
A plastic shell is pointless, imo, except to protect scratches, which a full body skin does better.

that looks awesome! I was thinking about doing something like that with a dbrand skin on the back of the neo hybrid or ultra slim case

Yes that's my taught, it adds some bulk but nothing significant like you said. I prefer the neo hybrid over anything available.

You can save the pdf I attached, and go to a print shop or anyone with a vinyl cutter and cut any vinyl. Dont know if dbrand do customs cut.

how much would it cost for u to print a carbon cutout and mail it to me? no vinyl shops around here lol

Let me know your zip code to see if shipping is not going to cost too much, i'm outside of the USA, or contact pmoradi2002 here in the xgear vinyl skins to see if he can help you.

Very nice!
I agree the neo hybrid is a really good case, not sure why people dont like it. Everywhere I take my phone people ask what kind of phone is that and when i pop the case off they had no idea it was a case they were looking at. It looks that good.

It is a nice case. My wife keeps saying it makes my phone look like an iPhone. She knows how to wind me up. I went on the xgear website. It would be good if they made skins for the Neo Hybrid case. I'd buy one.

that carbon + case combo looks really good, nice job.

i wanna have one cut for me too. that looks awesome as hell :good:

i didn´t have the carbon vinyl so........
doesn´t look quite good but its ok to me for now...
what do you guys think?

Love my neo hybrid, only complaint is that the headphone cutout is too small for my ath m50 headphones.

Well, at least no one will ever want to touch or steal your phone!
Also looks like you now have added grip :thumbup:.

so the side is smooth and the back is soft touch/matte but slippery and shows fingerprints?
I really like the feel of the buttons (size/texture/give/etc), how does this case obfuscate them? a bit? a lot?
Thanks

For me the buttons are perfect, with the Google Bumper you have to push with a lot of effort on the buttons.
The back its slippery but it doesn't show fingerprints.

Has anyone else done this with one of those ready made skins (i.e: Debrand, slickwraps etc.) ? How is the fit ? I prefer buying such a skin over cutting one myself because I like to have the nexus logo cutout, prefer a matte black skin (or perhaps a black leather texture) and down here in Australia buying a vinyl sticker paper would probably end up costing more than one of those skins anyway, so why bother ?

Here is my Neo Hybrid in Silver with the dbrand black leather back skin that was given to me as a gift. Turned out great!
Will be purchasing more dbrand skins in the near future!

Nice! I never thought of doing this til now! This is a great alternative to the aluminum bumper! Thanks everyone!

I just used the cutout to make a carbon fiber wrap for the back of my neo hybrid. Thanks! I had some 1080 3m vinyl laying around that I got for the interior of my truck.

Go for matte screen protectors. These will reduce the brightness/clarity of the screen in some respects but the quality of some of these are pretty good these days. Cheap ones will generally scratch easily. The ones I've tried for the Nexus 5 are the Gearmaxx and the Nillkin anti-glare. Both have been great in terms of what I wanted. The Nillkin is a bit better I would say in terms of overall smoothness/screen clarity/easy of application etc. Both reasonably priced.
In terms of cases - I would say matte or those silicon type ones. I personally don't like the feel of any of those though. The other option is a skin. Plenty of threads around for these.
Gluck.

I've seen it only in videos. Reviewers said It's a fingerprints magnet, specially the black one.
Huh
I don't have that issue
Ignore me then
I have the black and it definitely is a fingerprint magnet. A case i would recommend, currently wearing it, is the caseology tpu carbon fiber

I've searched this case on Google, and it's anti-fingerprints. But I have to say I don't like the big logo on it. Eitherway, if I don't find any other Caseology is a good choice.
Cases I've tried that do not attract finger print smudge: quicksand case, 0.3mm cheap generic case, diztronic tpu matte. As for the rest like the slim armor and Google bumper case do tend to attract some finger prints.

I have the white ultra fit, haven't used very much yet, but the white back doesn't collect fingerprints. It also feels grippy and makes phone feel slim.
I am not using it yet since I bought a ~1,50€ bumper case at the same time and I am testing it out now.
Will post pics if requested

Ok, I'll post pics when I get home. Since I've had it for a day, I cant yet tell about its durability, but so far, so good. Feels solid and I trust in Spigen quality.
Photos as requested. Didn't turn out so great, but you get how the case looks on. If you are wondering why my screen looks weird, it's because of a Copter screenprotector, which is rubbery and because of that, it reflects light like that.

Another +1 for the Caseology Carbon Case. Just got mine today and am very impressed... here's some pics:
I also have a Head Case, which is matte, however it doesn't offer as much protection.

Two days use and it still looks in good conditions. I like it. So far how easily gets dirty? After all is white.
Thanks about the pictures, probably I'll be buying the white one.

Np man
It gets dirty pretty easy, white afterall like you said, but things like grease and stains from dirty hands imo can be wiped easily. And you probably could wash the case in worst-case scenarios, I think.

best cases?

Who has a case that they recommend ? Please include a link. I love the spigen case for my P9 but don't see it available fot the P10 plus.

Agreed. But it feels nice
I have this case and it's pretty decent. Like the feel of the side of the case. Also nice that it covers the charging port and auxillary port as well.

I usually love ringke cases but found the one for the P9 to be pretty slippery and slick. Like it made the device too slippery to hold for me. How's the grip of yours ?

I have a Tudia branded version of it, you're right it does feel nice, just enough grip without being rough.
Bought a couple more cases, just for variety, both from Amazon UK (pictures from there too).
First one looks like it's a two piece but isn't, the black rubber bits are a permanent part of the shell. The stand is quite stiff so it stays in place at different angles, looks good.

The second hasn't arrived yet but I liked the techno look it has. Both were about £6.95 - The J&D arrived, it's a proper two part case with a hard rubber inner. The buttons are incorporated into the design as chunky blocks, very nice. Not so nice are the port covers on the base. Because the rubber is hard they don't fit very well, easy solution was to cut them off since I don'r need them anyway.

Just received mine 2 days ago. Feels good in the hand. Very slim profile so it does not add much to the device. Has a good grip surprisingly.

Pretty slick as well.
I am going to order a case from UAG. I have used them in the past and have found them very good.
https://urbanarmorgear.com/products/huawei-p10-plus
Well just got my UAG case. Thanks Amazon for free same day delivery. Really like this case. Great feel to it and doesn't add much bulk at all.
Using a Spigen rugged armor right now though I'm tempted to grab a uag. Have one on my mate 9 - feel it actually adds too much bulk to that already huge ass phone but the P10 plus is a much more reasonably sized device.
I more like ultra thin cases and skins. I half heartedly ordered this case from ali express and it turned out to be a complete gem. Very sleek premium feel and the price is just unbelievable! Peel or Shumuri would easily charge 5x for this case. Anyway, here is the link:
CAFELE soft Case For huawei p10 cases TPU silicon Slim Back Protect Skin Ultra Thin Phone Cover for huawei p10 plus case shell
http://s.aliexpress.com/imuIJBBf
Some photos below, but i can tell the photos dont do justification here... The case is much nicer in real.
Cheers!
Cases i my region are far and few between...mostly because the release was delayed 2 months. It's coming out THIS month but I've had my P10 plus for a month now and used it as my primary phone for the last week. I'd had to say without question my favourite across any phone is the South Korea RINGKE FUSION.
It's mostly a range of CLEAR cases, so if you're looking for colour, look elsewhere
It shows off the phone how it was meant to be shown
Is a great mixture of TPU silicone (side/edges/buttons etc) and hard plastic (back)
The 4 corners/bumpers have airpockets to absorb impact of drops
1.5mm raised at the back to prevent the camera hitting the ground and cracking
If you like this sort of thing - has soft TPU dust pocket covers for 3.5mm jack and USB port

I have several cases and I really love this blue one with sandstone finish : it feels good in hands and less slippy than other cases. The only con is it hides the phone's beauty.
The original one that came with the phone is good too but the only thing I don't like about it is the camera part : it offers no real protection to the lenses, the entire area on the case is empty there.
I have the red version of this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0...+plus+case&dpPl=1&dpID=41Hh9e7edaL&ref=plSrch
I need something to protect it from knocks drops and dust etc as there is a high chance of that at work.
The case is fudging huge and heavy. However its a trade I'm willing to accept to keep my phone safe.
Couldn't resist the urge to order a UAG Plasma case. They just offer great protection while not adding a ridiculous amount of bulk. Whilst some of their older designs are kind of ugly the newer stuff is sexy as.

Grippy slim case

So I bought the Spigen Rugged Armor and it's just too slippery, can't hardly hold on to the phone with it on. ?
Can anyone recommend a pretty slim case that offers a lot of grip? Something with a rubberized costing on the back maybe. Don't know.. just want something that keeps the phone on my hand.. ?

Just know that it is not the most durable. I take it off and put it back on a lot, and it started to crack in places. Mine is also not perfectly centered over the buttons...lol. describing it like this makes it sound horrible, but it is probably one of my favorite cases I've ever owned. If you want some extra protection (the Bear motion is minimalist in this regard) and grip while still keeping it pretty slim, I'd go for the Speck Presidio Grip.

Nice, saw those a while ago actually. I wish they'd cover the top and bottom edges as well though and not just the sides.
What do they feel like? The Bear Motion that is.
The Speck one looks pretty grippy. Not sure about the actual look of it though-

I think I'd describe the feel as rubberized sand paper. It is rough, kind of like sand paper, and even though it isn't made of rubber (more of a hard plastic), it feels sort of rubbery in my hand. I'm pretty horrible at describing it:silly:.
argh, I would like the Bear Motion but nobody sell it in europe

I really wish Ringke would have made their Slim case for the G6. Had it on my Nexus 6 and loved the feel of it. It had a good rubbery texture.
Anyone know if Spigen's Thin one is similar?
In case anyone else is looking for something similar I ended up buying the Spigen Thin Fit and it's pretty much perfect! I kind of wish it'd cover the top and bottom edges but at least it covers the corners and I'm loving the feel of it. It's got a perfect rubberized texture that gives plenty of grip.
Nillkin nature is an awesome slim case. Very slim and perfect cutouts.

Nice! I've had that case for my Nexus 6 and besides it yellowing it was pretty spot on.
The Nature comes in darker colors, less prone to turn yellowish. Mine is 'gray', and has been holding up pretty good for about six months.
I prefer TPU cases. This is the one that I purchased. https://www.amazon.com/Cruzerlite-C...JJV5/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1494806314&sr=8-2
It comes in several different colors.

Wasn't available over here without paying way too much for the shipping. ?
Like on S6 i bought Nillkin Nature best Slim grippy case ever.
I like Nillkin too, i have bought Nillkin's Synthetic fiber and Super Frosted Shield. and winner is Super Frosted Shield.
They have newer, more like rubber matterial than on Super Frosted for older phones (i have Super Frosted for Nexus 5x and Xiaomi Redmi 1S), so grip is fantastic.
And display protection is much better with Super Frosted too.
Also i have dbrand's vinyl (carbon series) and after more than week it's still slippery. I hope slickwraps natural series black leather will be better.
I ended up just making my own with this case plus some of this grip tape. The grip on cases is never 'grippy' enough so this works great!
I rock the Nillkin slim hard shell
Awesome idea

Finally an Ultra Thin Case I love - Elago

So, I was looking for a new skin on my phone when I realized that I didn't want to do a wrap. If you're like me, you'll spend $10 and then remove the skin in like a week. After that you'll have to buy another one if you want to go through the process again. I'm not 100% into cases because of bulk and this is a damn sexy phone.
I scoured a few different places looking for a white thin case when I came across this: ELAGO THIN CASE
Here are my pros:
Fit is perfect
Cut outs are exact
This actually feels like it could be part of the phone
Has a Matte White look
Not TPU, its a hard plastic
Lots of compliments just in one day
Cons (Keep in mind, these are things people may not like but doesn't bother me)
Phone is still a little slippery
Buttons are now a bit more flush with the case
Zero lip over the glass to put upside down
The cut outs are exact so accessories are about 1mm from being perfect
I'm going back for the other two colors. This is an awesome case. Does anyone else have any ultra thin cases they can recommend.

Good call.
Edit: Just went to the link. I just don't like AliExpress. I had problems with them in the past. 20-39 days for a case when I can get it in 2 days from Amazon, meh... I'll pay the difference.

got this today, it's going back. I have a skin on my phone, the case went on with ease on top of that and was still not snug

Really? That's a bummer. Mine fits perfect and has no movement. I don't have any sort of skin. I wonder if that's throwing off the fit.

It looks just as good in person.
Needs a top and bottom lip. Put your phone face down and it will scratch.

Nope. User a screen protector.. Cases with lips exist. This is for absolute minimalists.
Just went to the mailbox to get the Elago case I ordered after seeing this thread. I'm coming from the Spigen Slim case and, even by comparison, the Elago is ridiculously thin! I love it, but it definitely needs to be paired with a screen protector in order to keep the phone somewhat safe.
It is probably not nearly as thin as that case, but I usually buy Ringke Fusion cases for every phone I get. I love the way it adds the extra tactile feel to the buttons, and has saved me from many drops even on asphalt and hard concrete. I'm not sure how it is on the S8+ yet as my S8+ is not here yet. but I've used Ringke Fusion cases on OP3T, Nexus 6P, Nexus 6, Xperia Z3, and I have loved it on every phone.

Not even close.
Just a heads up. The Elago scratches and scuffs pretty easily. Not that I expected much from such an inexpensive case but, I've been babying my black Elago and, within 24 hours it already has 4 or 5 long scuff marks across the back. Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention. It would've been nice if they had used the same type of rubberized finish found on the Spigen and Ringke slim cases.

Who sets their phone with the screen down?

What cases do you use?

I love this device and I'm waiting to get the Tech21 case for cheap on ebay for this phone as I loved it on my V30+.
Figured I'll go colorful until then.
I settled on this and it'll be here next week.View attachment 4777486
Got it in today.

This is an excellent 2 piece case with hard shell protection on all corners and a nice soft touch feel for 9 bux. It's very, very close to the Incipio cases I had on my S5. My Incipios have slightly softer tpu, whick looks just a bit thicker at shock points. On the other hand, this case is a little thinner, while remaining tough. It even has more hard protection on the top of the phone, and the plastic case feels stronger for that extra edge.
It's so cheap, I bought both color combos to mix and match, plus I'll have the replacement for whenever the plastic eventually breaks from a fall (even my Incipio cases broke to save the phone).

If you use this, remember to install and remove in 2 steps. Like most good 2 piece cases, the plastic shell holds the phone tightly, be careful how it flexes around the key cutouts during removal. It seems smoothest to remove the power button edge first.
Although the Incipio feels slightly softer, I'm confident the protection of this is roughly equal in everyday use.

Great case. TP around the edges and poly-carbonate back that is clear. Works great with wireless charging. very good fit.

It doesn't have that rainbow look due to the back being glass?

I have the following cases, but am currently just using a skin from slickwraps.
Ghostek Covert
CruzerLite Leather Texture
Ringke Fusion X
Ringke Fusion
Encased Slim Armor
I have also spent a good amount of time at the carrier shops trying out the overpriced (but pretty great) cases:
Speck Presidio Grip
Tech21 Evo Check

If anyone has questions or wants photos, let me know.

I really want to see how that CruzerLite looks in real life. It was the one I was torn on before I picked that blue one I've got. I definitely want the Tech21 but it's gonna have to wait until I can find one on eBay for less someday.

I'll take some photos once I'm home. It's a very nice case and I use it when I get tired of looking at a greasy, fingerprinted device. I've have a love/hate with Tech21 cases - they're great protection but they add so much width. I'd say they're worth it if you really want that 10ft drop protection without going to something beefier. I'm a desk jockey so I'm really enjoying the phone+skin and I only slap on a case if I know I'm going to be somewhat active. It's a shame there aren't more options for LG phones. No love if your name doesn't start with Apple or Samsung.
Septembersrain - It does have a few small areas on the clear back smaller than a dime that look a bit extra shiny since they are in contact with the glass. Not rainbow though.
This case is awesome, very sturdy, has a lip to protect edges of screen, slim, supports wireless charging, kick stand on back for propping up phone in landscape mode, 3 colors, perfect cutouts.

Same as you will similar, simple and effective and still showing its colour.
I'm rockin the Ringke Fusion, aqua blue on black. Case does its job. Looks nice. Not very comfortable to hold though.
I'm using the spigen tough armor. Loving it so far! doesn't add too much bulk, but it's a solid case. the kickstand is a fantastic feature
I use TPU cases from X-Level.
Spigen Slim Armor, can't really go wrong with that one
And for $20 it's a decent price imo.
Spigen Liquid Crystal
Spigen Liquid Crystal with a Speck Grab Tab.
literally using the one it came with, thick and sturdy enough and hasn't yellowed yet either (crossing my fingers)

I use these also, they're great cases and work perfectly with wireless charging.
any love for the G8S? i guess not
Im using the Ghosttek case and so far its been what I was wanting. No more sliding off flat tables, or out of my pocket in the car and falling down under the seat anymore. All the buttons work well and has a minimal effect on the overall size of the phone very good case if you arent looking for otterbox style
