This looks pretty nice. But I would only get it if I had the red Nexus 5 though...I can't see a reason to get a red case for a black phone.

Maybe some others like the colors like I have a black on and plan on buying one.

Awesome. I probably wouldn't have seen this unless i was looking on here.
Just preordered mine on Amazon.

Bright Red? How bright we talking about I wonder? There's Crimson Red for other phones they make so I guess brighter then that.
Something to match the colour tone of the Red Nexus 5 I assume.

Ordered the Red Neo Hybrid yesterday. Have the other three colors. The Neo Hybrid is a great bumper case.

Which is your favorite?

Hope the red matches the Nexus. The color of the phone is different than it looks in pictures...

Can we buy just the frames?

I wanted the silver but amazon had the gold one for $13.99 so went with the gold.
Gotta say I really LOVE this bumper, the back feel is so smooth...can't stop touching it sometimes

Originally it was the Metal Slate, but the Satin Silver now looks a lot nicer than I originally thought. The Champaign Gold caught coworkers' eyes.

Happy I saw this thread.
So the question is which to get?
Ultra Fit
Ultra Hybrid
Neo Hybrid
Slim Armor
And do any of these work with Spigen screen protectors?

Neo Hybrid. I thought at the beginning I'd get the slate gray base and later just buy the metal bumpers but Spigen does not seem to be offering the bumpers alone.

The Ultra Fit comes with the Chrystal Shell screen protector.

I emailed them asking about just buying a separate frame I myself have a gold neo hybrid because it was cheaper (on amazon) lol and love it the color is okay, it definitely will get a bit of attention with the neo hybrid and people asking if its the phone itself or a case, anyways I'm hoping they'll reply soon, others should email them and ask if they could sell just the frames and see if you guys get a response

Literally searched high and low to find just the metal frame bumpers, but couldn't find none for our Nexus 5's. Did find some for iPhone 4-5S and Galaxy S4. I also emailed them if they could sell us just the frames for our N5's since they sell them for 5 other devices, waiting for reply.

Are those bumpers really metal? I thought they are just plastic... No?
Edit: I meant those bumpers in neo hybrids

They are plastic. Called them metal because of the look and feel compared to the softer TPU body case.

Need a case for my Red Nexus 5. How does Red ultra hybrid look? Does the color match the nexus color, since its only red on sides and back is transparent? Also is it rubber-like or plastic?
Or is it better to go for a clear ultra hybrid?

I ordered Ultra Capsule today from official SGP site, after days of confusion. They also come with a free Steinheil Ultra Crystal Screen protector. Good for me
offtopic - I can't see any orders yet when I log in to the site. Is it normal?
Had problem
I order one of those SGP Ultra Silke off e-bay from South Korea on the 6th of june
2 weeks later I just got screen protector NO CASE. For the last 4 days been e-mailing had to send him pic of the screen protector ? If I dont here from him on monday,time to contact e-bay...Them I will tell you guys the name of this store so you know who not to get it from.
I believe the official SGP ebay store is sgpstore1
gutkoreainc from Korea is also a known eBay store that carries SGP products.

Anyone of you have seen a review of neo hybrid? Or maybe there is someone who can write something about that case?

I have the infinity white sgp ultra capsule. There are glitter on it, but they only noticeable in very bright light - they not bad at all, and I say it as someone that wouldn't use a case with noticeable glitters.
The holes fit great, but the case made for the Korean version, so its not stable enough on the international version of the phone, it feels pretty shaky and not snug.
I wouldn't recommend it. The case itself is good, but it's not fit to the international version, so its pretty shaky and not comfortable...

Yeah I did that, and it fits perfectly now.
I actually put a small cleaning cloth.
If the sides make a noise when you squeeze them, it should go away after a few days.
nice find! thanks for sharing!!
Which one is slimmer?
Ultra silke or Ultra capsule ?
Not sure, but the Ultra Silke seems to be about 1/2 the thickness of a normal matte silicone case. Very slim and covers everything (except the TV antenna area on the top right )
I like the look of neo hybrid in the beginning. But after reading bad review of it (easy to break). I order the other one instead.

Looks like SGP is gonna release the linear series for the GSII also. I personally have their linear crystal on my iphone 4 and i love it. Can't wait to see how well it is on the GSII.
Got a review of my Ultra Silke here (link to xda) if anyone's interested.
Mine doesn't wobble around or anything- no need to put paper or anything inside the back.
Yeah, mine is the same, got the ultra white capsule, and it fits snug as a rug, got an aussie sgs2.

Right after I asked, some have started to appear on eBay.
Manicure Jelly Cases
Found some "cheaper" cases call Manicure. They look like Mercury/pleomax 9(also made in Korea) type but looking at the picture the fitment looks iffy at best.. But at $4 shipped..
Best Jelly Cases
I really like this type, seems in Japan they use these with various different phones.
I ordered the brown and lime.. I'll update with pictures when I get them.

tpu flip case, it's very soft and very thin, has a grainy/sandy finish on the outer side, the brand is temei, cost HKD 78 approximate USD 10.5, was going to buy one, but since i'm going to china in a few days time, i'm sure i'll be able to get one for about half the price.
edit
There are many colours available, the photo above is dark blue, similar to the actual colour of the phone itself, it's just the phone flash that makes it light blue.

SGP Neo Hybrid for Galaxy S3/III Review - High res. pics, HD Video

The Neo Hybrid series of cases from Spigen SGP has been quite a favorite among smartphone users. Including myself, consumers love the unique style the cases offer. Today, I'll be reviewing Spigen SGP’s latest reiteration of the pleasing two-tone look and hybrid combination of TPU and polycarbonate for the Galaxy S III.
Special thanks to www.cretouch.com for sponsoring this review. You can purchase the Neo Hybrid for the Samsung Galaxy S III here for $26.99.
The Neo Hybrid Series for the Galaxy S III includes two different series: Lumi & Color. Both offer different colored interchangeable frames, and a different colored TPU back. Lumi Series use a dark-grey TPU, and the Color Series, a dark purple/jade. The different colors and series can be found at the link above.
Video Review
What's in the box?
In the package, you’ll find the case, one Steinheil Ultra Nano Clear screen protector, a microfiber cloth, a product catalog, and a serial number for authentication. As usual with the Neo Hybrids, it’s nice to see Spigen including a free complementary screen protector.
Installation
I’ve always had to spend a good amount of time to properly install the Neo Hybrid for other devices, but the Galaxy S III variant is very easy to install. All you need to do is assemble the polycarbonate frame and TPU together and slide your phone in, instead of putting the TPU on first and trying to slide the polycarbonate on.
Design
The Neo Hybrid for the Samsung Galaxy S III could not look better. The look created by the colorful high gloss frame and dark-themed matte TPU is just astounding. You really do get what you pay for with this case when it comes to design, something you don’t see often.
Accessibility
An issue I’ve always had with the Neo Hybrid has unfortunately remained the same with the S3 model: the headphone jack cutout. A small opening and recession in the headphone port is always present with the cases. I don’t know why Spigen can never seem to relieve this issue — maybe it has something to do with making the TPU and frame work — but the fact that it occurs here is something to note(especially for audiophiles). Besides this issue though, the case offers precise cutouts for the camera, LED flash, speakers, charging port, and microphones. In addition, the power and volume buttons are protected and covered by the TPU. Some people have mentioned these coverings to cause over-sensitivity, and while this may be somewhat true, I haven’t had any issues with them. Contacting the seller before purchase is recommended if this concerns you.
Protection
While the case looks good, the Neo Hybrid also offers some decent protection as well. TPU is known for being shock absorbent, and the Neo Hybrid certainly has plenty of it. The TPU membrane is moderately thick and should cover impact well. Moreover, with the tight fitting polycarbonate frame, the case should not detach from the phone itself. Protection wise, you should be in good hands with the Neo Hybrid. Also, it’s recommended that you install the included screen protector if you want somewhat of a full-body protection.
Conclusion
I could not recommend the Spigen SGP Neo Hybrid more highly for your Samsung Galaxy S III. It is currently one of my top cases, and for good reasons. It offers a combination of good style and protection. I mean what more can you ask for in a case? While it may be high to some, the $26.99 price tag is more than reasonable with the Neo Hybrid for the Samsung Galaxy S III.
You can find more pics of the case at my blog.
thanks for the review! been going back and forth on getting one of these for a long time. just seems to be a lack of good photographs of the case (especially with the pebble blue model)
thanks again, looks great!

Amen to that. I'm almost regretting getting the pebble blue model because all the pictures of cases always show the white model and I'm unsure of how they will go with the blue that I have. I'm very interested in this case, but I just can't tell how well the different colors would look with the pebble blue. I know spigen has some on their site, but they're kinda tiny and don't show much. If anyone has any with the pebble blue, I'd love to see some pictures.

I actually had a Pebble Blue S3, but I exchanged it for the white . I may just buy a dummy Pebble Blue S3 if requested enough though.
What a coincidence, I just bought one today and I was gonna come on the forum and ask about this. I bought the Infinity White neo hybrid model(I hope it is the revised version). I have a pebble blue gs3. Once I get it I will post some pictures if I can remember to come back to this thread Also aturyan how is the screen protector holding up so far or have you replaced it with something else? I have liquid armor applied on at the moment so once it wears off I want to try this out if it's worth it.

Spigen Neo Hybrid + Carbon Skin

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.

Lack of name leading brand cases?!

I have yet to see Incipio, speck, tech21 or any other leading brand case available. It seems they've all decided not to make cases.
I have a ringke air and a vrs case, but I'd like to get a speck. Guess that ain't gonna happen!?
What about Spigen? They've got a few nice looking cases

I got the Tough Armor case. I'm just looking for a belt clip to go with it.
I was able to get an OtterBox myself. Trying to hold out for better cases, though.

Never really been a fan of Spigen. I've had them in the past.
Double post.

Bummer. I did see one, only one, at Tech21
https://www.tech21.com/en_us/evo-tactical-g7-thinq-black
meh, not my style but perhaps yours?
I've seen a bunch at Amazon, but too gawdy for me.
Which case did you get at VRS?

I actually like the tactical and didn't see it prior to you posting.
I bought this VRS case - LG G7 Case, LG G7 ThinQ Case :: VRS :: Slim Full Body Protective Armor :: Ultra Thin Fit :: Waved Texture Reinforced Grip :: for LG G7 ThinQ (Single Fit - Matte Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C79Z26J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_cfihBbFNQAKM7
It's a nice case, but the buttons are a little too flush.
Edit: I bought the EVO tactical. Hopefully it's like the Galaxy S7 one that I have.
I've been using the ringke onyx. Love it
Ringke Air.. It's a great fit and keeps phone slim.. only drawback my finger prints I keep wiping it.. Lol

That's the problem I have with mine. It's an awesome case, but the fingerprints are insane.

Haha no joke.. We need better choices..

I got the Spigen Neo Hybrid and I really like it... Slim TPU, extra protection on the edges and has a good feel... I know that OtterBox and UAG have also cases for the G7 but I wanted to try this one and I have no complaints...
I just got the tech21 Evo tactical. It's actually a really nice case. Smooth feeling with tactic buttons. The case is actually a really dark black. The pictures make it look dark gray, but it's not. I will use this case for now until the speck one I found online arrives Friday. I'll keep this either way and prolly switch back and forth. This case is fully acceptable tough and will disregard fingerprints no doubt.

Hi! Could you link me the Speck Case? I searched but couldn't find anything... I had a Speck Case for my N6P and I loved it, wouldn't mind giving a look at the G7 one...
