disclaimer: I wanted a very thin case. I don't like huge cases. I understand that there is limited drop protection. I am only interested in having a minimal lip so that the camera or screen do not scratch when I set the device down.
I started with the spigen case and screen protector. Screen protector covered the proximity sensor making the screen turn black during calls regardless of proximity. The case fit well but felt cheap. Design was too bulky despite being marketed as a slim case. Not necessarily becuase it was not thin, but all the corners were too squared off.
So here is the new setup. The case feels good, I wish there was a matted and smoked version, but this will do. The plastic does feel a bit slick. It definitely feels more secure in my hands naked as compared to the case.
The screen protector works perfectly. It has an oleophobic coating that works pretty well too. There is a proximity cutout so the screen does not cut off during calls. The fit is great, goes out all the way to the edges, and the cutouts are very precise. The screen protector comes in a hard cardboard box for shipping, included is a wet/dry wipe and a dust absorber film that worked well.

Looks good! If you have the RIngke Fusion can you take a pic of that?
unfortunately I dont have the Ringke Fusion. I would be curious how long it will take for the clear TPU portion of that case to start turning yellow tho
Did you end up with bubbles or nah
one on the top right that i may have to go back and fix if it doesnt go away. bubbles is very much an installation issue though
I can't see the pictures. There's only a grey minus logo.
I also bought Ringke Slim.
This case has a frosted version but I can only find it from Rearth's Korean website.

It looks slimmer but I can't speak Korean and I cannot buy it.

I got the exact same case. It came today and I set up my 5x. I don't mind the feel of the case too much. Sides feel more trippy than Nakey. My big complaint is that it creaks to all [email protected]*k. It fits well and like you I like the lip over screen but have you tried popping it off?. Will do till another one comes along.

if it doesn't go away, on the amazon description for the tempered glass, it says bubble free guarantee, if it doesnt go away u should call them up

Thank yoou very much. I think I made a good choice. Except the Ringke logo but nothing to do about it
Just got the Ringke slim in black today and I love it so far. I ordered the Ringke glass screen protector but it won't ship until next week.
I got the clear/frost adopted case but it's a little too bulky for what I want.
Is the clear Ringke slippery at all? Read somewhere that was a complaint about the clear one. Black one has nice grip and feel to it.
yeah it is pretty slippery

Just got mine. There's a cut out for the power button/ir transmitter. Its slightly loose on the extreme top.
And the supcase logo on the back isn't centered and its a bit crooked. Other than that its fine for a 10$ case

Awesome, in for one then!
If anyone has one of these, can you describe the quality of the built in screen protector?
Does it feel like cheap plastic or glass? Does dust get trapped under there easily?
Would really appreciate it, that Supcase full body unicorn beetle looks awesome in my opinion!
I bought this Supcase.

Quality seems good. The clear power button is not loose at all. Lovely design, plenty of room around the camera and flash. Plenty of room around the headphone socket. No sharp edges that I find on some ~£10 cases.
Only problem is I ordered blue, and they sent me black...

I have both the Hybrid and the Unicorn Beetle... Didn't like the Hybrid at all. The fit on it is not that good, the top and bottom lips are a bit loose and saggy. Because of that, a lot dust and lint collects through there and into the case. I took it off after a week and also noticed some scratching on the clear glossy back. I don't recommend it at all, I think after some time, this case could possibly do more harm than good to your phone.
However, I also got the Unicorn Beetle and love the case! It's as if it was made by a different manufacturer, lol. The case fits perfect, good and snug, but not too tight. I wasn't crazy about the matte plastic bumper at first, it felt kind of slippery, but after a few days it seems to have broken in and feels good, nice grip. Highly recommend the Beetle over the Hybrid, totally worth the extra $4 or so.
i'm interested in the supcase white/clear but can anyone confirm if the white yellows? thanks.
which one?

That is the case that I ordered. Reasonable build quality, the rubber on the sides is pretty firm, and a little bit more grip-y than the naked phone.
I like the frosted back, as it feels resiliant enough to withstand an impact, but still shows off the brushed aluminum on the back of the phone.
Ive noticed a little bit of glare in photos with the flash enabled, I noticed that the edge surrounding the camera lens what polished so I lightly sanded it which noticeably decreased the problem.
The cutouts for the power and audio connections were a little sharp for me so I beveled them off with an exacto.
All in all, great quality case for what you are paying, and it makes me more confident in my grip on the phone!

I got it with a code with amazon prime , so it came pretty quite as we always can have from amazon .
This is a decent alternative to some of the Otterbox cases. It reminds me a lot of the Defender series but cost only 9 dollars , even it is not exactly works as better as otter box
The outer shell is a nice shock resistant material. You shouldn't have to worry if you drop your phone if it's wrapped in this.The inner silicone is a little bit soft , which will absorb the impact , but it might be not as snag as you want ,all in all it is acceptable totally .
The buttons work really well when you have it in this case. They line up nicely and work with little effort.
The port cover is okay. It's nothing great. It's not a tight fit like the otter box it. Overall, it's better than nothing.
I'd be happier using a case with a screen protector
For the money. This is a great little cast that will protect your phone.
A good solid phone case, a few minor issues keep it from being a great phone case. Case did require a minor modification to allow the gesture and double tap wake up/screen unlock to work properly on the m8. There was a little piece of the cases screen protector that covered the light sensor, once cut off from the inside of the case with an exacto knife the gesture function worked flawlessly.
Pros
Much easier to hold onto than the slick finish of the m8
Makes it easier to press the side and top buttons
Case has a rugged feel to it
Looks awesome on the phone
Belt Clip is so handy
Cons
Does add a little bulk to the phone, mostly to the thickness
Very slightly alters the sound of the phones speakers,not very noticeable, but I am an audiophile
.
Overall I would recommend this case to a friend.
I am not associated with any company , my reviews are based on my personal experiences
For this case , i got it from amazon ,at http://www.amazon.com/Ashiled-All-N...TF8&qid=1420378820&sr=1-1&keywords=ashield+M8

I have the clear case and don't get a rainbow effect. I used the film from my Spigen case.
I didnt want to buy this case because I had the clear spigen and I didnt like it at all, but I decided to give it a try, it was only 11 dollars.
I am pretty impressed, my main case is an UAG ash, but it feels bulky and looks kind of thick, this one is very slick and look and feel great.
I didnt expect that from a 11 dollar case at all.
I will be using it for a while for sure.

For sure it will be less visible but since I have golden one it is quite abnoctuous when it comes to my fatty fingers and their oily traces.. Ehhh... Nevertheless, it is way less than what would be if it's naked.. So for black will be just perfect! Actually looks more beautiful than golden check that review of curved protective glass here in this section the guy uses the same case but he have black device and it looks so gorgeous

It supposed to make very thin gab so it won't stick to the back of your device, plus it will protect the back if some micro debris gets between from scratching it.. At least that what I got from them
And BTW I use another back cover wider... Forgot from where I got it...
This is the best case i ever have
I got mine today & I love it. Super slim, goes really well with the Gold Platinum color, easy to handle, and one can put the phone on its face or back without scratching the phone parts.
I previously had a clear slim cover but smoke black is definitely way better.

I know the green has been limited in availability, but having literally scoured google, I can find barely anything on the green and suitable cases. Literally just 1 or 2 images.
So if you're lucky enough to have the green, could you share some pics of your phone in a case. Lots of cases are generically suitable for black/white/gold, but that green seems like it's going to be hard to match without just going crystal clear.
I have a green. And I use Ringke case. Cannot put link to Amazon. And I use a foil back and front

What rear glass protector are you using with the rigke case, I've got a cheap case on at the moment and it's peeled my back screen protector so just ordered this case and will put a new back protector on.
Your case doesn't do the "stuck to the protector" look that mine does either...

ringke comes with a back protector, but i don't recall it being matte like his
I use the Spigen FlexHD back protector and it is not matte either. I do find the Ringke attracts fingerprints and dust like crazy, no sooner do I wipe off the back, the prints and dust are back.
Used it naked, green 64gb
Seems a green case could a final solution for this thread,checked on eBay and Amazon and find out a green one,maybe you may think of it's tiffany, anyway,I'd rather have this one with soft green color instead a solid green one.

I have one, i'm using this case (Neo Hybrid CC Gold) with my phone and have received many compliments. I have also a caseology wavelength, but i very much like the looks of the transparent spigen.
Hi everyone, anyone whi tried both cases?
I have the google one in tpu (adopted) and I want to try another one.
Wich is the best? Look very similar.
I've ordered the spigen one this morning, then I saw the Ringke.
Maybe I could cancel the order and take the ringke,
if it is better.
I had the Spigen on a Nexus 5 for 2 years. The only issue I found was when I held the phone in one hand I rested it on my little finger, which after a while was a little uncomfortable due to the sharp bottom edge of the case.
I ordered one for my 5X but with the phone being that bit heavier? it was too uncomfortable, so I got a Ringke fusion which I'm really happy with.
The Ringke slim covers the whole bottom edge? so shouldn't have that particular problem
I was torn between these 2 cases as well...ultimately I went with the ringke because it covers the whole bezel as apposed to the spigen which does not cover the top and bottom. I do have the case however I won't have the phone until Monday to put it in. I may get a spigen latter on as they have a white option and ringke does not and I wanted my black 5x to have a white case with the black finger print scanner.

Same here - went for the Ringke for the all round protection which is missing from the Spigen.
I just got my Ringke Slim to replace my Spigen Thin Fit. The material feels exactly like the Spigen which is great. The Ringke feels slightly "slimmer", on the sides and on the back, the camera bump protection is still there but slightly less pronounced, you have to look real hard. I like this case a lot, and it wraps around the whole phone now. No more sore pinky finger I hope. If you are looking at both of these cases, I think the Ringke is a better all round choice.
Ringke Slim. No question. It's the perfect case, in my opinion. It has full protection, unlike the Spigen option, and the form fit/cut-outs are absolutely perfect.

I just wish the Ringke had a space between the sensor and the camera and didn't have an open area then. Other than that, love it. The cover for the headphone jack was a bonus!
