Hey fellas,
Got my hands on the new Rearth Ringke Fusion case, as the name states, it is a Fusion (hybrid) case consisting of a hard, clear plastic back with a TPU bumper. This combination provides very good protection from scratches and drops. The main selling feature of this case is the clear back, which allows you to see the etched glass pattern on your Nexus 4 (which we all love!). It does pick up scratches and fingerprints, as hard plastic does. The ports and cutouts are precise but the power/volume rockers are a bit stiff for my preference.

At the discounted price right now, I give it a 4*/5*
PRO:
-large enough lip around the edge to allow for perfect face protection.
-all ports are cut away perfectly with enough room for a moderately sized 3.5mm jack
-home button is still accessible
-entire screen is still usable! (shocking that some cases don't allow the entire screen to be used...like my skyrocket's TPU case_
CON:
-side buttons are covered with TPU, which makes the buttons hard to press.
I had to remove a single star for the TPU covered power and volume buttons. The phone looks amazing with the clear case, almost like glass. The case is said to prevent slippage, though I find the case to be moderately slick. It does however have textured side grips to allow better grip. Overall the case is worth the $7 that it is listed at right now. It fits perfectly and it shipped before the device was released, so it was literally the only case I could purchase that fit my order list. Clear, TPU, thick enough to protect against moderate falls, right thickness lip to protect the face, no hard plastic, good looking, and cheap price. This fit my needs perfectly and I'm glad I purchased it. Over all, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great TPU case.

Thanks for reading!
I'll also be reviewing two other cases as soon as they arrive. Caseology TPU cases in white (gloss) and white (Matte) as well as Jkase premium TPU matte black.

Found this great little case. It has a soft silicon inlay and a hard carbon fiber like outer case. The outer layer feels really soft and smooth texture that feels amazing. It's the same texture as the Rearth ultra slim line cases if you have had one. It offers great protection but doesn't sacrifice too much aesthetics. It's one of the best looking cases I have tried. It's a great marriage between Otterbox's protection and Spigen's beauty.
I have a MIME Ghost Glass protector on it's not an issue at all. The inner silicon layer sits just on the outer edge of the MIME. All ports are cut out perfect.
This case is unusual because of the way it features dual protection. Most cases with soft silicone or TPU have a separate case that then snaps into the hard case. Sometimes (like the Otterbox Defender), the soft case is outside the hard case. The Speck has a soft case inside a hard case, but they are a single piece. I expected it to be hard to get the M9 into the case, but in fact it was easy. Removal is a bit more difficult, because rigid back makes it a bit hard to bend - but you won't want to remove it!
The case fits like a glove - probably better than just about any other case I've seen. The hard shell combined with the soft rubber provides great drop protection, and the rubber wraps around the screen to protect it when face down. There is a cutout for the IR sensor on top and the power / earplug jack on the bottom, plus a place for the microphone and camera in back. The volume and power keys are integrated into the case with rubber extensions. Everything works great.
The case holds very well with a single hand because of the rubber grips on the back, and it looks simply outstanding - I have the gunmetal gray M9, but because the design covers the entire phone, it will look the same with the dual tone color model.

I was thinking about getting the candyshell as well but I was torn between the UAG case and the Candyshell. They both work the same way but I went with UAG instead because I was scared the rubber grips at the back would pick up lint in my pockets. Does it pick up lint in your pocket as well?

Sorry, I just saw your post. I never carry mine in the pocket, but the rubber is not the same as the "lint magnets" I have used in the past. I think it will be OK.
For one thing, the rubber is in small strips - less area to pick up lint, but when combined it is great for gripping.
I will be reviewing two white cases that I bought for my aluminum Nexus 6P.
Ultra-thin Protective Shock-proof Soft Case Cover (First 5 photos)
Link: http://r.ebay.com/sNSxZC
Quality: This is a matte TPU. The cutouts for the headphone jack, camera, flash and laser autofocus are spot on. The volume and power buttons are covered but work well. It adds some thickness (1.5-2 mm) that I wasn't a fan of considering how large this phone is already. While this case should provide some drop protection, the bottom is mostly uncovered and therefore unprotected. The case overall very flimsy, has noticeable wiggle room, and actually comes off a little too easily.
Color/design: The camera bar is colored black on all the different color options. It also has a smoother texture than the rest of the case. There is a nice leather-like design down the middle, which really enticed me originally. The white looks great on the aluminum phone.
Feel: The case definitely adds grip (the white area has a rough Saffiano leather-like feel) but also bulkiness of a TPU case. Since it's so flimsy and not a snug fit, it doesn't give off a premium feel. I also don't like that the camera area is black personally.
Overall, I do not recommend this case.
Slim Frosted Matte Hard PC Case Cover (Last 4 photos)
Link: http://r.ebay.com/EDVjsi
Quality: This is essentially identical to the snap-on hard cases from Spigen and Ringke. The fit is very snug with perfect cutouts for all areas. The plastic used here is stiffer than the Kugi slim hard case, so you'll need a credit card to remove the case. The bottom of the case was chipped slightly--barely noticeable. Don't expect much drop protection, only scratch protection.
Color/design: I love snap-on cases so I am being biased here. However, the unique aspect of this case is that it doesn't have the sandpaper coating that some hard cases have, which is good since the white versions of those love to pick up stains. This case has a soft-touch rubber feel, which so far has failed to attract stains.
Feel: Wonderful to hold. Adds the much needed grip to the Nexus 6P. Note this case adds more grip than what Ringke and Spigen have offered in the past. It barely feels like you have a case on the phone since it adds barely any bulk. Also love that it has no silly branding anywhere.
Overall, I recommend this case for what you pay for is considerably lower than the branded versions.
Overall, this case has a nice fit to finish, the lines are clean and flaps protect the headphones and USB ports -- The lip on the power bottom is not even, the top (screen portion) protrudes out more than the one facing the backside, where it is more tapered, however this is a nice little boon to them paying attention to detail as this allows you to access the fingerprint reader easier when you grip the phone, and allows for easier fingerprint recognization compared to my Spigen case, where it sometimes causes unrecognized fingerprint. It has TPU sides to protect from drops, the back is clear plastic, which gives a nice clear view of the back of the Z5. The only gripe is that the plastic 'protectors' that come stuck to the clear plastic back (both sides), it's fairly hard to remove. Other than that, pretty nice case.
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Looking good. Actually I was going to buy the smoke version, but I heard an issue about Ringke Fusion that the material does not really safe for phone bezels. My friend throws me a review that pointing out on his old scratched Z2 bottom bezel as a result of experiencing Ringke Fusion.
i got this case after using the spigen for a few weeks and while the spigen is great i actually like the ringke more
power button is easier to press and i like the port covers
I got the Ringke Fusion case but with the Smoke Black. It fits perfectly and looks great. One of the best cases i have had on a mobile phone.
I chose the Smoke Black color just so that the corners do not show discoloration.
Overall I highly recommend this item!
Nice, I just placed an order for this one!
