Spigen Neo Hybrid Nexus 5 Case

Spigen Neo Hybrid Nexus 5 Case

Our second favorite Nexus 5 case by Spigen is the Neo Hybrid as it offers slightly more protection than the Slim Armor, it looks better, but costs a few more dollars. Offering a similar dual-layer design the phone is wrapped in a matte black TPU rubber case with shock absorption features, then a bumper style polycarbonate shell goes around the edges for a sleek look, yet tons of additional protection. Sadly the back is a bit of a fingerprint magnet, and the headphone jack is pretty small again. The polycarbonate bumper is interchangeable and comes in gold, metal blue, or silver.

$29.99 from Spigen

    I purchased a white Spigen case for a Nexus 5. Best money I’ve spent on a case. Fit and finish is probably the the best I’ve seen . All lines and fitting is perfect .The two layer style and thin ergonomics make it a perfect pocket case. Only complaint (smooth edges) but when you have a phone as nice as a Nexus 5 you always hold tight . Definitely recommended

      Which Spigen? Are you talking about the White Slim Armor? I just hate covering up my elegant phone with a case but it sounds like the clear options only offer minimal protection. Unless phones are made stronger, I don’t know what all the excitement is about plastic vs metal or exclusive colors when everyone says you should put it in a case. Ive never had a case ; Google told me the N5 is sturdy, but it seems the inter webs think you should put a case on it

    I bought the spigen case with the clear back. Great case but…

    … Makes using the Wireless charger a hit and miss affair but it makes me wonder how many other cases where the case affects wireless charging.

    Maybe it’s a limitation that could make the more expensive Google case worthwhile. It just takes a couple of cases that reduce the Wireless charging to outweigh the cost of having got the $49.99 Google case to start with.

      Google told me the chargers don’t work with cases. However, Ive read where Spigen said its cases do work with the charger so you might want to contact them. Thats one of my hesitations as I don’t want to waste $50 on a charger that will make me take a phone in and out of a case multiple time a day. I have read reviews were people state they had better success with other wireless chargers

    The Spigen cases are a lot cheaper on Amazon. For example, the Spigen clear case is under $10 on Amazon. Im planning on getting the White phone and don’t want to cover that with a black case. Ive never had any case but this phone seems more fragile. Which clear case do you guys recommend? I don’t want something bulky though. Its weird as reviewers will call the same case bulky and not bulky. Is Spigen or Ringke a better company/case? Want maximum protection, least bulk while still showing off the white back since Ive never had a white phone
