It's been a long time since i've done my quick little reviews. But since I got the Nexus 6 I figured I would make one.
Here is my quick video review of the Spigen Neo Hybrid Case for our phone! (Voice over by my GF, cause someone is bound to ask me)
--BTW I can never embed videos right so i'll just put the link here.

I sent mine back a week or so ago.. I didn't really like the moto logo exposed and thought it could allow dirt/dust to get in between the case and the phone .. I went with a case that covers the whole back..

Interested in how you fixed the buttons. That's the only thing I don't like with this case
Nice pictures. But...
I absolutely hated this case personally. Makes the phone feel huge and bulky, just cheap overall. The sides don't fit very well (bow out) -- flimsy plastic, buttons are a loose plastic mess, it's bulky and feels cheap. Just not worth the price tag when compared to other cases.
@Ellingsoc .. I'll have that video posted in a few days. You will love how much nicer the buttons become.
@Andromjb.. Was the bowing because of the way the bumper was seated on the tpu case? It took me a while before I got the fitment to be perfect because I didn't realize the two pieces weren't in place correctly
Can you explain it haha these buttons are driving me nuts
I really want people to go to the video for that info. But I'll PM you.

Could have just been my particular case as I applied it multiple ways, but it never fit 100% correctly no matter how hard I tried.
Bottom would always bulge leaving the plastic rough to touch while handling (on the upper backside area by microphone). Top was a tedious task of maneuvering the soft rubber backing to fit correctly without getting stuck underneath the outer plastic shell. Plastic sides were flimsy. Unappealing loose cheap plastic buttons which were always in the way.
I was always accidentally hitting/pressing the volume rockers or turning the screen off while just trying to hold the phone.
Just bad design, imho.
Try out a Ringke MAX. You'll see a major difference in quality and features for the same (actually cheaper) price point.
the way i put the case on was to first align the bumper and tpu perfectly. Then I would hold the left and right sides firmly and put the phone in bottom side first. Snap the top corners in while pressing the phone downwards to the bottom of the case. Works perfect every time so far!
@Ellingsoc .. I pm'ed you bout the buttons btw. Nothing shows in my sent box though. If you didnt get it send me a pm and ill respond to that one

I have a clear back protector on my phone, then this case. Any dust or dirt that gets in will just mess up the plastic film

I would appreciate the info via PM also. Don't see the secondary video posted yet. Doesn't my seniority here afford me that?
Even in the pictures you have taken with your case, it is showing a minor glimpse of what I was experiencing. I think you may have gotten a better quality case from manufacturing or perhaps they have made stealth revisions since as mine was a lot worse even with proper applications.
See attachment below -- which was the rough touch edge I referred to from previous comments.
that really just looks like it wasnt clipped in fully. but i could be wrong.
And i shot a quick video of the button fix. will be posting it in maybe 20 minutes

It's just the way the case is designed. It goes on a bit too snug, so it leaves some parts a bit uneven which returns poor results and rough edges.
I'm not trying to say the case is terrible. I just want people to be informed of the certain flaws and quality before they end up spending $19+ while they have other options available for less.

I loved this case for my S4. I thought it actually made the buttons feel better! But for this phone...well let's just say I use a Rinke slim now.

Okay this is my first review so bare with me on this one. I purchased the HTC case specifically designed for the Rezound. Overall makes the Rezound a bit beefier feeling, but still forms the Rezound curvature. I would guess it expands the width about 1/8" and same with bottom. But none added to the height, this is where the case starts failing. The case was very easy to install by just simply snap it on. Fits very snug and hugs the contours of the phone around the headphone jack and buttons. It is composed plastic and a synthetic fiber material. The plastic case on the exterior has a smooth rubbery texture around the perimeter of the device. Inside on the rear of the cover is a stitched applied "grip" from said fiber. I'm not good with material but seems to be like some form of a polyester. Overall, a fair case until we start talking about protection. Included is pictures with brief description. Now for the bad, it is definitely not an Otterbox. With the case attached, all four corners are unprotected and susceptible to damage. The case itself stops short right at the top and bottom giving you minor protection on these two sides. The other two sides (left and right) are covered, but still have issues. The case does not come up even or higher than the elevation of the screen. The screen/bezel sticks up just a tad, but still not good. If the phone were to be dropped perfectly parallel with the ground screen side down, this phone wouldn't have a fighting chance with this case on. If no screen protector was applied, just sliding it around face down could cause unnecessary scratches. Now back to the back part of the case. The stitched "grip" has a couple flaws in itself. I barely took my fingernail over this material, and I could see the material ripping apart. Think about his sliding in and out of your pocket. Also, the stitched part is held down with some epoxy that doesn't seem to hold very well. Around the camera cover, the material was coming up just rubbing my finger over it. Not even trying to dig into it, just merely rubbing my finger over it. Overall this phone fails in a great portion of protection, and construction. The good is it still maintains the original feel of the Rezound.

This is the full rear shot the back. Just shows kinda the make up and construction of the case.
Just a quick picture of the HTC logo on the back of the case in closer detail.
Rear showing of the case around the speaker.
The camera area where I found the "grip" to seem loose from attachment.
This is the bottom side of the device, as show the whole bottom is exposed to potential damage.
A shot of the device and case from side. Kind of hard to tell, but the screen bezel sticks up higher than the actual case.
And this is a shot of the corner, and the exposure it has.
Pictures taken by my trusty Droid Incredible.
Great in depth review! Keep an eye out; ill be doing a tpu case review of cruzerlite cases soon!

Nice review. May I suggest a few paragraph breaks? Incredibly hard to read lol. I'll be getting a TPU case in a few days.

Yeah I just got mine just now. Man I really don't like it LOL....it fits the device really well tho. May be time to get the otterbox. Thanks for the review
Edit. If anyone would like this case. You can make a $10 payment via PayPal and ill ship it to you for free..it just not for me. Such a pain shipping back to Amazon so I figured I'd offer it to one of you first. I paid 10 bucks Plus shipping. PM of you would like it, if I get no response by the end of the day I will send it back to Amazon then. Thanks guys

yeah thats why im returning it. I saw that happen to my Original EVO...not pretty. But no where on the web that carrys that case show the inside of the case. Not that most to LOL, But.......ahh well
Just got two of these after seeing that the guy that makes (designs them) them actually is on XDA a lot and was very helpful while NOT hocking his product everywhere.
*UPDATED*
Originally the case covered part of the upper mic. I just removed the upper portion of the case and realigned it so the mic was centered when I re-attached that case. To easy. That was really the only draw back I had.
Pro's
1- Delivery was fast
2- Case was cheap (9$)
3- Shipping was (5$ for both)
4- Case is VERY low profile
5- Mat Black is oh so smooth and the front rim is a nice glossy black with more grip to it. This is nice as it makes it easy to hang on to.
6- Back design icon is cool looking
7- Kick stand still easy to access
8- Nice port access
9- Doesn't pull my Zagg Invishield HD screen cover off
10- Easy to get on and off
11- Doesn't scratch my phones finish
12- VERY light weight
13- Mat black with red highlights of the phone looks very sexy and pro
14- phone still fits in my pocket easily and doesn't collect dust etc.
15- Snug fit on the phone
16- Bezel is high enough on the front that my phone screen doesn't touch anything when laid on its face.
17- Camera is protected by slight bezel around it.
18- No "case buttons"...you still access the phones buttons which are nice
Con's
1- Power button is a little hard to depress initially but this is because the button is so high on the phones profile. Case flexes to alleviate this after a few uses though. I don't think this is the cases fault
2- Not many styles - My wife liked the Green Cruizer Lite better but not that much better. The android pattern on those cases looked cool but I don't know...after a while I do like the professional and sleek design of the Diztronic better. Plus the Cruizer Lite *looked* a little more bulky
mind attaching a pic?
shipping is only 2.50 on his ebay page.
good review
wish it came with a screen protector (thought it did bc it did with other phones, but it didnt).
note: you can readjust the case starting from the top of the phone to align the mic you said was covered. i noticed it blocked mine after reading your review so i took it off and readjusted the case and it doesnt cover it anymore
Mine doesn't block the upper microphone at all?
Neither does mine. Every port lines up perfect, just like on my RAZR Maxx and EpTouch cases.

IDIOT! (Napoleon Dynamite voice)
Yeah I didn't even have to take the whole thing off...fix and looking perfectly.
*Updated Review*
Got mine in today and it fits nicely and looks good, I just have one main complaint about it....should of covered the buttons...after holding it in hand those holes in the case on the sides get annoying to me, and the thin strip where the volume rocker is, is so flimsy im almost scared it might stretch too much over time, or break...havent had a TPU case with buttons covered that the function was more difficult than the phone without the case on, so dont really see the reasoning why to leave them open now...
to each their own though i guess...
I received my cases as well today. Originally I liked the high gloss translucent one best because it just looks really sharp. After just a couple of hours though, it was covered in smudges and fingerprints(like anything glossy).
The fit on both of the cases I received are spot on. Snug fit, all my buttons/openings line up perfectly, and doesn't add much bulk. Simply great cases for the cost.
I will be sticking with the matte black one for the foreseeable future based on just the smudge factor.
Got to tell you - after listening to so many recommendations from the group here I decided to get the case and boy, I am so glad I did.
The case is snug with minimal footprint, all cut outs match perfectly (prefer this from covered) and the flat black matte just compliments the Evo. The kickstand is also easily accessible and it got here ahead of schedule..
Two thumbs up!
Got my case today as well. Now only if I had the phone to put it in....

Yeah case looks good overall, though I wish they had a version that covered the buttons and port so that the phone would be more water resistant (read: not waterproof, but at least ports/button holes would be protected from drippy hands at the least). Also, as people mentioned, it would be easier to precisely hit the various buttons if they weren't beneath the lip of the case.

Yes the case is thick enough at the usb port to stand it upright.
Last pic is beside my 2012 Nexus 7 in a seidio active case. HUGEMONGOUS!!
Brief first impressions which is likely all there will be cause I cant ever see myself using this beast. Shame too but it is what it is...
Long story short... I would trust my phone in this thing if you threw it in a wood chipper. It would probably break the chipper. Matte black metal outside most of it. Thick thick thick black rubber interior to provide shock absorption and 'some' waterproofing. Cant say that I would trust this to be mostly waterproof cause the camera, fingerprint sensor (really?) and top speaker are open to the air. *Maybe it can be waterproof with those parts open but I cant say I would trust it. Mostly everything else is covered above and beyond. Heavy. Huge. Heavy.
Cant really see in the pics but had 2 bars of verizon 4G when out of the case and in the case it had...... 2 bars. Wifi had all bars in and out of case. So it surprisingly doesn't appear to block any signal.
I have a tempered glass protector on this One Max and it seemed to accept most of my touchscreen input without problem. I wont say it wasnt missing a bit of touch input here and there but overall a good experience.
Let me know in thread if tou have any more questions. Pics were taken with one of my new Verizon G3's so you know where my time will be spent.
I'd love to hear from someone that ha one of these. Maybe some pictures?
Sure thing. When it gets here Im going to test it out pretty well before I trust my phone in it.
That is if it gets here before I make the decision to move to the G3...

I saw the same case on eBay aswell. Was debating whether to get it. But it's a full metal case I'm just worried about it blocking signal on network and GPS? And the g3 does look sooo nice I really want 1 do but cant haha
Yeah just ordered one myself can't never have too many cases,the only thing I don't like about it just from the pic is the "Love Mei" writing on it other then that it looks pretty bad ass!!!
Yeah the writing is abit off putting by looks of it I will get one ordered pay day.
Any one received the case can you let me know what it is like before I buy 1 thanks
Right ok time to order my case/s what do people suggest then either the love mei in white or a skin (not sure on colour yet) with a gold aluminum bumper.

F*** that looks huge. Only problem I've ever had with a full metal case before has been the GPS drops signal etc. Did you try that? And check you out lucky bugger I would love to have the g3 let alone g3 and HTC max lol
Holy shizz that is 3 x as big as the Otterbox defender I got now
Got mine today will post pictures. first thing I noticed is can't put headphone plug into the hole which is very annoying as I use it every day
@Jiggity Janx did you say you had a tempered glass protector on your screen already as I do aswell and trying to put the front case over it makes like glass scrape each other and you can hear it....
God sake took the tampered screen protector off and put a standard protective film on it. It's making pressed smear marks where fitted screen protector is pushing up against protective film and phone screen did you get this? Thanks
In my search for a good N6 case, I finally decided to pick this one up from the AT&T store (LINK). It has a nice, premium feel to it, and has magnets to turn the screen on/off when opening. At first glance, it's identical to what's shown on the Play Store (LINK), but there are a few differences in the card openings and stitching. I really like the speaker cut-outs, allowing you to talk on the phone while it's closed. So far, I'm quite impressed.
UPDATE 1: If you want to use it as a wallet and place credit cards or ID inside, be mindful that the flap doesn't close flat. I'm personally not using the case for that purpose, but this is the only issue I've discovered.
UPDATE 2: Wireless charging still works with the case on.
UPDATE 3: After a few weeks of use, there have been several frayed threads coming loose in between the the outer and inner surface of the flaps. I've cut them with scissors, but more are showing up. For a $40 case, this shouldn't be an issue. The edges should've been bonded together so these threads weren't prone to exposure. I like the functionality of this case, but this is disappointing.

That looks like a good, less expensive alternative. There seems to be no cut-out for the bottom speaker, so I'm wondering if that would affect calls while closed.
How easy is it to fold the cover 180°? Or is it possible at all?

It folds 180° just fine. Doesn't stay flat due to the phone's curved back, but still usable.
Happy to hear about the wireless charging. Which charger do you use?

I'm using the LG WCP-300.
Does anyone know if this case has a sleep sensor? That would be a killer case if it does, does the Nexus 6 even have the sleep sensor functionality? I remember the Nexus 5 did and wallet cases made full use of it. Wonder if the Nexus 6 will be the same

This is capable of "sleeping" and "waking" the phone when the flap opens or closes, just like pressing the power button.
Thanks for the information on the charger. One more question---are there cutouts for the volume and power buttons, or are they covered by the case frame? Also are there magnets to keep it closed (I noticed that reviews of this same case for other phones stated that there were no magnets, despite the description saying that there were.)

The buttons are covered by the case frame. The case has it's own raised buttons that mimic the phone's. You can see them in one of the photos I posted at the top.

There aren't any magnets to keep it shut, only small ones for the sleep/wake functionality.
Picked this case up a few day's ago.... No complaints from me!! Love the added protection for the entire phone when I'm taking it in and out of my pockets, or laying it face down on my desk at work... :good:
Are the volume and power controls fairly stable (not loose), and are they responsive? Thanks for answering my questions. I'm starting to feel like I'm interrogating you---hope you don't feel that way. Your answers are very helpful.

Not a problem! The buttons have a tiny amount of play side-to-side, but are very responsive and stay raised. They are very similar to what's on the actual phone.
I hope casemate makes a gelli case like the one for the new moto x
Not for me
Let me prefix by saying this phone needs a case. It's too unwieldy to go alone without some kind of screen & fall protection.
I went to the local T-Mobile store, since I was nearby, just to check if they had the case. I was surprised to see this case in-store as it's still not on sale on the google play store. This is the one I was waiting on, and I was ready to purchase! I removed this case from the box, the construction feels like junk. Complete and utter junk. Then, to my surprise, I found broken pieces floating around in the case. There's no way I was going with that one.
Then I grab the clear case (same one on google play store), which is not what I want, but I need a temporary solution (other than my rag) so I don't mess up my $700 device. I open the box to that, and I just couldn't do it. The case for that is so bad and it has one of those cheap, crappy kick stands. I was kinda hoping for something like my SO got off Moto's site, which is similar to this one), but for her Moto X (2013).
I've got some D-Brand skins on the way, and I hope to wrap a good Amazon folio case around soon all that soon. Something I can remove at the end of the day and enjoy my nude phone. :good:
What case did you look at bro? this case is nice and sturdy and build pretty well..
i just got it and love it..especially love the fact that it turns my screen off and on when opening flip cover..
I'm planning to use this case on my mountek magnetic carmount, by inserting a metal plate in the back of the case for extra grip. Seeing that the back of your case sort of folds, would you say there's room for the metal plate? Can't tell from your photo's how exactly it is constructed. See below pic to see what I mean

It should work. There's a hard shell case under the folding material that you can attach the plate, similar to your photo.
Thought I'd share. I fell in love with these bumpers for my iPhone 6 / Nexus 6P, and am glad to see the OP5 will be getting one as well.

Per their site - "The current estimated release date is Mid of August (subject to change)." Kind of a bummer, but well worth the wait imo.
I really think about buying one of these, but how does it feel in the hand? Will the curve of the back be completely gone?
I like these cases, but the one for the 3T was terrible. Hopefully they fixed the problems that they had with The 3t

just because it survived didnt make it not terrible. it was hard to put on, and once you got it on, it bulged out around the slider and kept it from working properly. nice, but flawed.
agree that it would be nice if they fix those issues on the next version.

It does protect the phone. However it was so tight that you had to put so much force on the phone to take it off. The volume and home button were so hard to press, you had press really hard and maybe it would register.
dont forget the last one pulled off tempered glass screen protectors (Pulled off my curved official one which i'll remind people is £17) I was so pissed off, complained then they said there was nothing they could do and then added the disclaimer on the page saying the bumper didn't work with the glass.....never again

On my 6P, The sides of the bumper extend far enough to make it lay flat and solid on a table, which is part of the protection. Since the back is completely open beyond that, any curve will be apparent.

yeah, but on the OP5, the sides are curved, not the back, so you won't feels those anymore, right?

Agree, I had it for the 3T, the buttons and slider were really stiff and not very impressive at all, the fit was fine but that's not difficult as it only has to go round the edges, it raised the phone off the bottom nicely though and there was a sufficient lip to protect the screen, will be interested to see this new one.
Thanks for sharing! Loved the one I had for my Nexus 6, the one I used for the 3 was awful so got rid of it pretty quickly. I'll most likely be trying this one out!
Wonder how much width it adds to the phone. From the picture, it looks slim. But looking at the op3 version, it's a little too much width.
Pre-ordered today. Coupon code ready4school worked for 15%. Helps with shipping.
Took a while to finally decide on it but I really don't like any cases out so far. The phone looks great naked and I think I'd rather go that route with this bumper. Might get a dbrand skin too..

I had this on the 6p and although it was a good case, the back of the phone was exposed, when you dragged it along the edge of a desk, the back of the phone did make contact towards the upper part of the middle of the phone, not sure i'd buy the Rhino again.
I've ordered mine too, still hasn't shipped though.
I had it on my 6P too.
Loved it then.
So one more is enroute for my OP5.
Hope it arrives soon to India....

They addressed that issue as far as being extremely difficult to put on and take off the phone:
Our OnePlus 5 bumpers are made out of RhinoShield's newest material!
We are excited to share that the OnePlus 5 bumper is our second product to be made out of a recently reformulated polymer blend. With this material, the CrashGuard will:
Protect your phone for longer. Wear and tear will be significantly reduced because of a general improvement in durability.
Be easier to install and remove. The new material stretches under continuous pressure and returns to its original position afterwards.
Be lighter and thinner. We can reduce thickness while maintaining our standard of protection.
Lastly, just in case you were wondering, our OnePlus 5 bumper is compatible with the official OnePlus screen protector.

this is my worry. The render show a one piece small volume rocker. Since I like the feature ''long press to skip track'', I doubt that case will give a easy touch feel.
I'll wait for the reviews.
For now, the cheap ebay bumper case with the acrylic clear back cover, is slim , nice and give a nice button feel.
Hi all! I'm pretty excited for this one, I had a CrashGuard on my Nexus 6P, OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T and always really liked them. The buttons were really stiff though and they were hard to take off again, but I think they improved both with this one. Like you already mentioned, this one will be made of their new material, which will be easier to take off. Also: There's a photo showing that the buttons are not made like before, covering the the whole phone. (See photo in the middle) They have small cutouts, like the Spigen cases, which should make them really easy to press while maintaining the clicky feel. I just don't really know how to order this one, I'm in New Zealand right now with no permanent residence. No idea how long shipping takes or how much it really costs. They have a calculator on their website, but who knows how accurate this is...

I have pre-ordered the bumper. It will be shipped after the Labor Day, so this weekend I will be able to give you my review on the bumper. As a comparison I will use my current case - spigen armor.
