SPG Ultra Capsule vs Ultra Thin Air

Hey guys,
I am planning to get a case for my S4. I personally prefer slim case that doesn't make my phone look too bulky. I am considering the Ultra Capsule and the ultra think air. Has anyone used any of these two cases? I can't find any picture of the ultra capsule.
Thanks,

while i can't comment about the ultra capsule, i have two of the ultra thin air (well, one is the ultra fit, but it's technically just a matte version of the ultra thin air). i think it's a great case because it doesn't add hardly any bulk or weight. i can take a picture of it if you'd like. i have the tango orange and the white. let me me know.
the negatives (not for me, but for others) are that the top and bottom are uncovered (the corners are though); the side buttons are a little hard to press at first; and some screen protectors will get lifted on the sides (this is same with the ultra capsule i believe) because of the lip.
here are videos of the thin air:

The "original" Samsung cover also doesn't add a lot of bulk and feels quite nice. It does scratch rather easily though...
You can see some images here: front & back. Some more (also showing the Mime Glass protector) here

The Spigen Ultra Fit looks pretty identical to the cheaper Ringke Slim that I'm using.

I have this Elago Slim Fit. Almost feels like its part of the phone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHySRZkjJE0&feature=youtube_gdata_player

yup and i love this one! i was using a neo hybrid and i didnt like the fact that my phone looked like a piece of brick, after putting on this ringke it felt perfect in the hands is exactly what i was looking for

Hi High Kick.
What color of phone are you using? I would appreciate if you can post the picture of the white color case. Thanks a lot!

i have the white S4. i've had black smartphones this whole time, so i thought i'd get a white one instead. however, i'm finding that white phones are harder to buy cases for.
one thing to note about the ultra fit is that it's A LOT more slippery than the ultra thin air. i was expecting the matte to be kind of softly rubbery and grippy, like what i'm used to matte being, but it feels like i'm holding a bar of wet soap. the ultra fit is $9.99, but i would recommend paying more for the ultra thin air.

i have the ringke slim also, and normally i would recommend the ringke slim over spigen based on price (and the fact that it's practically the same case). but i've found that the ringke slim cases are almost impossible to remove (at least for me).
p.s. the paper underneath my phone in the pictures is the return label for the spigen neo hybrid. i just couldn't stand how wide it made my phone.

Thank you very much for your suggestion and picture. I am also using a white S4 and I really like the phone. I think I will either go with ultra thin air or just don't use a case at all to keep the original beauty.

The ultra capsule is one of the worst designed cases I have ever purchased.
The fit its loose and the material feels like a China cheap case.
On the other hand everything I purchased from poetic has me totally won over with their quality and price.
I have 3 palette cases one atmosphere and I just ordered the revolution for when I am at the building site of my home.
On a side note the neo hybrid oozes quality.
And yes I am a case junkie.

although i said the ultra fit is very, very slippery, one might wonder why i'm not returning/exchanging it for the ultra thin air (which i said had a better grip). well, the ultra thin air, with its matte finish, just LOOKS SO much better than the glossy finish of the ultra thin air. i've been staring at the matte and the glossy side-by-side for a few minutes, and the matte is so much better looking. so, basically i'm going for looks over security. i just wanted to add that in my "review" as it might help you decide which one to purchase. also, keep in mind that the ultra thin air comes with more stuff; the ultra thin air is just the case. i hope that helps some more.

Thanks for the info. I guess the picture that you took is the matte. How's the feel of the grid compare to the original phone (without case)? The only reason that I want the case is to protect the edge of the phone as well as the camera lens since the lens stick out a little bit.

Does the white colour of the ultra slim look close to the phone? Or does it give you a rubber white feeling? I am thinking whether the white colour of ultra thin air will look closer to the phone since they are both glossy.

I bought Ultra Fit last month and could only used it for 2 days. I was squatting and the phone slipped out from my pocket to the concrete floor. A corner of the case is broken. The front screen frame is sunken. Checked with Samsung, they said that frame must be replaced along with the screen.
The case looks gods and is very light. But you have to give up the safety of your phone. Your choice

I bought the ultra thin air and it sucks. You can barely press the power and volume buttons. Not worth $25. I never use cases but thought this one would be minimal. I was wrong.

the ultra fit is only $9.99. it's more slippery, but it looks better in my opinion. i don't have any problems getting to any of the side buttons, but i think i'm used to it since i've been using cases like this (ringke slim) since my last phone.

I think neo hybrid is slimmer than my ultra thin air crystal clear.

I have just received the Ultra Thin Air case yesterday. The case fits very well and tight to the phone. I really like the case overall except the is a bit to press the power button.

Spigen Tough Armor

I got my Spigen Tough Armor for the s5 on Tuesday, and it's by far my favorite case I've owned for any of my devices. Definitely prefer this to Lifeproof and Otterbox overall. You can find it on Amazon here.
It's slim, the buttons click easily, and the heart rate monitor and fingerprint reader work like a charm. Only issue is until you get used to it it is a bit difficult to get the charging cover open, but after a day or two of doing it it's pretty easy.
Says it's compatible with Spigen's glass screen protectors as well, I'll be getting one soon.

Thanks for the quick review and pictures!
Do you feel this case adds a lot of bulk to the phone?

According to the product page, the case adds approximately half a centimeter to every dimension. In the hand, it doesn't feel like your phone is any thicker due to the beveled edges.
I just received my Gunmetal Tough Armor case today & there's a good chance I'm going to like it more than the Otterbox I had on my previous phone.

I hate the fact that you can see the plastic bezel on most of the new cases for the S5. That's what I'm trying to cover up with the case!

How secure do you feel holding it? I was very surprised that the case felt very slippery with the hard plastic shell. Debating returning it or trying to spray plastidip to give it some grip.

Also ordered this case can't wait for it to arrive

just ordered an Electric blue one since thats the color phone i wanted but couldn't get. I originally bought a case from best buy which I'll keep till this one comes but I don't like the fact that it slides on from the top and bottom, those cases always F' up screen protectors...

how are you using the fingerprint sensor? which finger and position?

I wonder if it'll work with the wireless charging back cover....
For the ones who have the case, does the bottom plastic part (right below the home button) move around when using the fingerprint features? I have the spigen tpu case and the bottom part below the home button is too flexible.

I have a tough armour and yes it is. It's TPU and a bit thin so does "flex" when you use the finger print reader.

Just got this case today. LOVE the case. I feels comfortable. and im sure if i dropped it, it'd protect it just fine. Only problem, if you have slight bigger fingers, the heart monitor can be a bit difficult to use. But i'd still recommend this case to anyone. A must have

I got the Slim Tough in electric blue, love it. I thought the Tough looked slippery on the back, so I got the Slim Tough. I do like the Slim Tough look more though.
It was tough trying the Spigen case as I have used the Case-Mate tough case for my last three phones and loved it, but no regrets now.
Also works well with the Spigen Glas.tr screen protector.

SO i thought the heart monitor was hard to reach, turns out i was doing it wrong. As long as you just place your finder the spot, it works just fine. So this case is a 5 out of 5

I was looking at this case and the Luvvitt Ultra Armor. Bought the ultra armor. Very happy with it for $13. Either looks like an awesome choice.

anyone have a comparison of the tough armor vs. slim armor?? I like both and not sure which one to get.

I have both of them and much prefer the tough armor.
Forgive me, but my slim armor is at home, so i can't offer pictures until later. I disliked the way the slim armor gripped the front of the phone around the edges of the screen. The left and right sides encroached on the face of the phone about a mm more than the top/bottom. This meant that the bit of metal around the edge only showed at the top/bottom. It drove me batty. I like the feel of the tough armor more as well.

I bought this case before the release haven't got it yet, Looks nice. I got the incipio tough armor case in store on release day, kept the order for the spigen case in case its any better, but it sure does look nicer.

Got mine yesterday.
It's kind of nice yet I thing the power and sound button are now very hard to press.
Also it become complicated to open the usb cover (doable with a pen though)

[Q] Sony Xperia Z3 cases

Hi,
just bought a xperia z3. After my experiences with previous phones, I know how clumsy I am and how easily I damage my phones. This time I want to look after it.
I am after a very protective case but nothing too bulky. I once has a TPU gel case for my previous phone (Galaxy S5) and when I dropped it, despite being in the gel case the phone still suffered a dent. SO after such an experience, this time I definitely want something that can absorb shocks.
I have seen the TECH21 case for the Z3 and was wondering whether anyone can offer any feedback or reviews on it. I know about TECH21 and their brilliant D30 material which is best in industry at protecting phones. My main concern with it atm is I don't think it is the nicest looking case and I would have liked to get a case which preserves the look and shape of the sexy Z3.
XDA wont let me post a link of the case but if you type in "tech21 xperia z3" on Google and click on the 3rd link then you will see it.
If anyone can offer any feedback or alternative cases that fulfill my criteria.
Thanks!

I'm waiting for Spigen slim armor. It is sexy and provides double layered protection but maybe slightly bulky. I have it on my N5, it looks slick and I dropped my phone enough times over a year to cause dents and scratches all over the case but never cracked or shattered the screen. Also had a ZAGG Invisibleshield screen protector which still looks awesome.

Whatever you do, do NOT buy Spigen ultra hybrid for Z3.
The buttons are so tight that just slightly tapping anywhere on the right edge results in both power and volume buttons being pressed down. In addition to that nightmare and consequently, you cannot power on or off the screen since the volume buttons are being pushed in as well. The ultra hybrid for Z3 is no good.

I wouldn't anyways. I'd rather have my USB port closed out than not being able to dock the phone without removing the case at night.

^ Pretty lucky I didn't get the spigen then.
I just got my z3 (from an s3) and was looking at spigen as I had spigen accessories for the s3 and had a relatively good run with it.
I ended up buying a Nilkin for the accessories. z3 stuff below:

Got the 9H tempered glass and the super frosted hard back cover case.
The tempered glass came with a back glass sheeting protector, but I found the hard cover case to be quite adequte. Slim enough to not be bulky, but has enough of an edge to give some level of protection if it were to fall on a flat surface. I was also considering getting the armor border cases but it seems like it'd add some bulk, plus the if it's too big it'll be hard to access the ports/plugs. Just waiting for my magnetic chargers to come in now...

I had a Tech21 case on my original Z. It was great.
Can't find one in the UK for my Z3 though. I'm using a Ringke Fusion clear case, which is good too.
I'd normally use a Casemate Tough, but I like showing off my copper Z3
Oh, and get a good 9h glass front. It's so much nicer than the one that comes on the phone. Less fingerprints too.

Form where did you get the case, I havent been able to find it aside from the chinnese copys. thx

^ I think he meant that he's waiting for slim armor to be out for the z3.

I don't think Spigen will make a Slim Armour case. All the big manufacturers such as UAG, Trident and others seem to have skipped the Z3. I'm using the Incipio case which seems to be one of the best.

Thoughts on Spigen cases

I just placed an order for Spigen Neo Hybrid case for my HTC One m9. I was wondering if anyone has experiences with these cases on previous HTC One devices. Also any good recommendations for a tempered glass screen protector would be awesome.

I have the Spigen crystal clear Hybrid on my silver M9 and I love it , But I will be purchasing a more protective case .

It fits perfectly and looks awesome on the phone.
it protects the whole back and the sides. In addition it is a bit thicker on the top side (display), so it protects the display too, if you lay down the phone upside down.

Got mine through Amazon Prime for $21.00. It's a nice case, but it's temporary until I can get a SEIDO OBEX once they are available.

Could any owners of the neo hybrid chime in on the button stiffness of the case? I find that I'm accidentally hitting the power button pretty frequently without a case.

I have the Neo Hybrid and love the hell out of it. I have the gunmetal M9 with the gunmetal case
The buttons are a bit stiffer but I still find that I hit it anyways. The location will take some time getting used to as I'm coming from the M7. BY FAR, THE BEST CASE I'VE SEEN AND FELT ON A PHONE!
Any other questions, feel free....

I got Spigen Thin Fit off ebay uk for £6.99 + delivery. It fits well and helps stop you hitting the power button by accident when you pick it up.
I have the silver M8 but got the Gunmetal one. It looks pretty good. Small lip on the left and the right. Only good for small drops directly on the back, front and sides, but very minimal.

this case is awesome its bulky and not bulky at the sametime - in fact, this case is just slightly larger than their crystal clear series, and because of the fact that this phone is still only 5", with the slight bulkiness, it actually makes the phone larger in presentation; a very good thing, the metalized buttons has very very good feedback, its easy to press (once applied on correctly) - everything fits just right! even better than their crystal clear series. - i got the black n gold. looks amazing.
@METALLICAM - the reason why you're saying the outer metalized buttons are hard to press is probably because you do not have the outer ring and the rubber case fitted correctly (this took me a few mins to figure out) because when you slap on the ring around it, it feels and looks like its "tight on" but its actually not, simply hard press/pull from the top of the phone, you'll see that the ring starts to slide-in more into the rubber mounts, and do that with the bottom speaker aswell.

I got both the Spigen Neo Hybrid and Strong-Flex cases and love them both. The strong flex is pretty thin and durable and the neo hybrid is good looking and durable also.

A little over rated. No doubt they are built to look really cool, but as far as protection goes it's not the best. Also touch wood it doesn't happen to you, but if you have any problems with it, getting through to their returns department is terrible.
Other than the after sales care, their cases are okay, but would recommend trying other brands, there's plenty available at decent prices

Best clear case?

Anyone with the variety of clear cases care to chime in on what they recommend? I'm leaning towards the spigen ultra hybrid. Mainly due to the name brand but curious of some others out there. I ordered a frost and want to show off the styling! I know clear cases can be iffy so wanted some opinions.

I think there are a lot of threads on cases but I also appreciate the idea that it's sometimes hard to sift through them all.
I'll sum one up for you - The Nillkin Nature TPU case seems to be very popular. You have to order it from Hong Kong on eBay. I got mine and it is GREAT with one serious flaw in my opinion. It has a plastic flap over the USB power port. It is 100% TPU and very thin, adds almost nothing to the phone. That in turn means it doesn't afford a lot of protection. It does come in a clear version. I got the grey version for my Graphite 6P and cut off the USB power port flap. This makes it slightly imperfect which bugs me a bit. USB flap aside, it's a great case.

Thanks for the info. Yeah I was hesitant start a new convo for it cause I know there are a lot of general case posts, but I thought since clear cases are a thing of their own, itd be nice to have a go to post for those of us interested in them.
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA Free mobile app

I have the Spigen ultra hybrid. Solid case - doesn't feel flimsy like other clear TPU cases. The lip is slightly raised on the front so that the screen wouldn't touch the surface when face down. This case had an issue in the beginning where it looked like there was a small crack near the fingerprint sensor opening (not a crack but it looks like one). They may have fixed it since then. The only complaint i have is that the entire camera black bar is exposed with this case instead of just the area where the lens and laser focus are.

I've tried Spigen ultra hybrid and the neo hybrid ex. Case-mate is the best one. There is a convo about it in the Spigen Neo hybrid ex post.

Yeah the whole opening of the black bar I didn't like as well as the like square outline on the back. Otherwise it looked pretty nice. I ended up going with this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0168DHS1Q/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_CFuGwbXHQ21PE. Looks minimal, easy to take on and off, and slim. We'll see. I wanted to have a case here ready for my phone so needed a prime option. I'll post back on my opinion when I get on the phone.

Just got an Orzly Fusion Bumper case (or something like that). Very nice clear case, boutons are not covered which is very nice, and there is a black color on the sides which mean when you look at screen, edges are also black
Don't know if sides are transparent on other black-sided cases (like Ringke smoke black) but here, it's not.

Any clear case with a logo on it is an instant no-buy for me.
I'm happy with my redSHIELD clear case (Amazon Link)
It's one of the few I found that doesn't have a logo *anywhere* on it. It's a good clear TPU case for the money (likely the same case Orzly uses for its Flexicase). The only minus point is that the power and volume buttons are a bit squishy and harder to press than the actual buttons, but I rarely need to press them.

I am quite happy with the Ringke fusion clear case, it doesn't have the best compatibility with skins like Dbrand or Slickwraps because it has a snug fit but it lets you cut layouts to put between the phone and the case much like the old Nokia 3100

This is slightly unrelated, but how do you guys carry around your nexus 6p with these clear cases? I mean in the pocket? I have the spigen clear case and the case is fine, but every time I slide the phone in my pocket it gets a lot of lint on the front exposed side of the phone. Maybe a wallet style case ?

Maybe wash your pants better? Sorry. Seriously, I use the Spigen Ultra Hybrid with my phone, and have never had a problem with lint. Out of curiousity, do you use a screen protector? That may help as well.

I haven't gotten around to buying a screen protector just yet. You think that would help? Do i need a screen protector for this phone?

I don't know if it will help against the lint, but the screen protector is always a good idea. My phone screen is lint free with a SP on it. Lint does accumulate in the gap between SP and case. Some ppl get lint in camera holes, but I haven't.

I'm sure they released this one in a clear version of the black one that you have

Yup but when you look at the screen, edges are not black... Don't really like it

I love my Spigen Ultra Hybrid.

Nillkin Nature for me! Good for protection in your pockets against debris, not for drops though!

Supcase is nice. A little stiff but it looks nice and is more protective than most of the clears I believe. And the ringke fusion is really nice and softer. It looks great but a bit thinner than the supcase. I have them both.

Famous brand always have high quality but designers won't pay much attention to customers,if they can hear our voices,it will be great!

I've got a Ringke smoke black one. No problems.
