Just got it in today. Fits perfect. I also have the Neo-Hybrid, and comparing the two the Slim Armor fits better all around. It's more comfortable to me. The holes cut out are better centered, and the SPen cut out is perfect. No rubbing when removing or inserting it. Even though the back is hard plastic it's not really slippery in the hand as I thought it would be. The buttons are very easy to push and use. Overall I'm really happy with it. The color is Dodger Blue.
More pics.
I order the infinity white. Should be here Monday or Tuesday.
How's the camera lens? Is it recessed?

Yes. Very nicely tucked in there. There is also ridges at all four corners to protect the shine of the plastic when you put it down. That's a really nice touch. When you set it down on a surface those actually keep the phone up a bit. You can actually see under/through the phone if you look at it at table's height. Great quality case.
Great I'm excited to get it. I'm ready to return this cheap tpu case to Verizon. I wish with the white version's silicon wasn't black. Instead gray would keep the whiter scheme better.

Me too. I couldn't find any cases I like that had white instead of grey or black. I have an Incipio DualPro coming in on Monday. I'll give a review of that too when I get it.

I was wanting the White Otterbox Commuter but still not out. So went with this case and it is good and great price on amazon.

Pretty nice, definitely a plus those back guards to keep from marring the finish on the case back. Guessing you got it on Amazon since they charge more on their own site, I'm thinking about their ultra slim case. Spigen seems to be very good quality from all the reviews on the site I've seen so far.

Yep from their Amazon store. Paid $20 total since it was with free shipping. They're out of stock as of now. Says back in stock Oct 31st.

Can't wait to hear how you like the dualpro...I had a incipio on both the droid x and note 2 and thought they were great. Still looking for THE case but the simple Diztronic I'm using now is doing a pretty darn good job so far...It'll be interesting to see your comparison between the spigen and incipio. Thanks
Thanks for the review!
Yeah I got my slim Armor yesterday, I got the slate colored one. Absolutely perfect fit. Couldn't be happier. Now just waiting for my tempered glass to get here and I'll be all set.

Literally the same setup I'm having. Waiting on the protector. Got the case yesterday as well. Fits very well. Tight, but easily comes off when you want it to.
I too, thought the hard plastic would be more slippery, but it has 'relatively' decent grip IMO.
Those little nubs on the back are definitely a nice touch.
The only issue I had was on the bottom where the speaker cut out is, there was a tiny flap/tag that wasn't cleanly cut when, probably separating from the mold when being made.
Simply took a little razor blade and sliced it off... Looks like it was never there.
Slate metal color.
A solid $20 investment. Would recommend.

does it fit the L-shaped earphone jack?
Hello,
Thanks for the pics. I ordered yesterday the colour Metal slate, but the blue is fantastic!
I wait till the Case com and then I ordered the blue one...

The only thing on Spigen cases so far that I don't like is the hole for the headphones. Most headphones I have (and also extenders for my auxiliary port in my car) are all thicker, and don't fit in the small cutout. That said the headphones that come with the phone fit perfect, and a bought a $2 adapter for the car, it's all good. If you have an L shaped one you may need an adapter too, but not sure since I've seen many different lengths.
A note for anyone who watched that video review a couple posts back. You don't need to separate the two pieces. Mine slid on easy enough as one piece. Looking at the buttons I think if you pull it apart you're going to mess up the buttons somehow.

I recently bought this case in smoke black. I've attached a few pics for those that want to know what the metalic g3 looks like with it on.
Another shot
Thanks for sharing.
They made the best case for the Nexus 4. The only case I bought for it actually. I was so satisfied.
I will check this case out. Thanks for sharing!
Bought the same thing, high quality case.
Mine got thousand scratches within 3 days of usage. I thought this case not easily scratchable.
I had one too. Unfortunately it ruined all my pictures that taken with flash on.
I've heard about the RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper Cases. Apparently, they can withstand 11ft drops on concrete. Has anyone had any experience with them in the past? Do they hold up? I am deathly afraid of cracking my S8 Plus but also find the idea of covering up my GORGEOUS phone with a case to be stupid. Thoughts?

I had this for my S6 and my Pixel. It is a great bumper case. I liked it more, as das as comfort on my s6 than the Pixel.

Do you recommend it for a balance of protection and minimalism?
I do. When I had it in my s6 I put a slick wrap skin on the back and a tempered glass on th the front.

I had one on my Note 5 with a Dbrand skin, they didn't make one for the S7 Edge or a Note 7. I pre-ordered and it's supposed to ship next week. Only downside I had is it takes a while for the buttons to break in because they are a little stiff.
I had/have on my s7. I also have the back and front protection. My s7 is still in perfect condition. it's taken a few normal drops and handled them with ease. I pre-ordered for my s8. I totally trust it and love the minimalist look with awesome protection. I even put one on my daughter's iphone 7. Flawless performance. I do change up cases occasionally, but always come back to my Rhinoshield band.
Am more interested in the screen protector from Rhino, and wondering if any tried it.. They were the only company that made full adhesive screen protector (glass) for pixel xl.. So wondering how will this end up to be.. No mention in the website if the screen protector is full adhesive or not.. I guess i will have to wait and see when i receive it..
My only issue with the rhinoshield bumpers in the past is that it adds too much extra width (it has to I guess to provide the protection it does).
Too much extra width? It's like a a mm or 2. I loved it on my s7. Survived some nasty drops. I don't know about this one with the more curved edges though. I got a spigen neo hybrid.
Really liked it on my Nexus 6! Was bummed they didn't make it for my Nexus 6P...
I ordered mine last week, it has been shipped today.
I also ordered a back black mate skin from dBrand.
I will post some pictures once everything arrive.
after reading this thread i went looking for vids... found one for the S6... amusing and durable...so i ordered for the s8.

Ordered. This bumper has been saving my gfs ip7+ on many occasions

Ordered one as well. Have the UAG Pathfinder and love it but super impressed by all the demo videos for the RhinoShield.

Alright so I ordered this clear flexicase ages ago and it has arrived (finally). I wanted to do an unboxing and review. Let every (potential) buyer know my experience so I made this little video, my results and experiences may not be yours but overall the case feels good in the hand, any way. Here is the video:

Quick update on Spigen cases
So Spigen tweeted this pic, and said later on in July. I mean, we're already half way through but.. ok. But I can't even preorder this so there's that. I'll keep updating

I wish Spigen would release a hybrid case for OP5 like they did for the Nexus 6. A clear hard plastic back with solid color TPU edges. It was great because the case never discolored like these stupid clear TPU cases we get today.

I mean it's still early in the OnePlus 5 lifespan, that's why it's like tryna pull teeth to find a good case. Hopefully tho we see some good cases. I actually have that one you're talking about for the N6 it's a two part case, with the solid colored tpu and plastic that slides over it I accidentally snapped a piece of the plastic tryna take it off and now it doesn't fit properly

Oh yeah? That surprises me. I kept that case on my N6 for two years and it was solid. I guess you got unlucky.
But yeah I don't have much confidence in that case making its way to OP5 because it never was released for OP3. They only released a version with clear TPU edges which will still discolor.

SInce I was tagged, just wanted to say I had a great experience with my clear flexicase . All ports lined up, alert slider slot is great, bottom ports are perfect.., as you can see in my thread here! Also received my matte black flexicase today and man, it has a soft touch feeling that is just so nice, a nice little rim around the back and a great rim around the camera!

Yo could you take a photo of the two side by side, cuz I can't find that black one and I wanna see how that clear flexicase is supposed to look
I've got the Clear flexi case and my brother has one of the solid colour flexi cases. They are really solid case and can't go that wrong with it. Just got my Orzly wallet case and it seems like they are just using the flexi case as the holder in the wallet which is a great thing!

Hey man,
Yeah sure will do when I have both of them in hand again in a few days
I prefer the coloured flexicases atm, they feel great, have great camera protection and a really nice screen lip
If anyone wants an awesome case for their 6t, the Tudia is great. I bought the protective case from OnePlus and wasn't happy with it at all.
This case is half the price and really protects well.
Amazon has them for around 12 bucks. Definitely worth it. Also it's screen protector friendly.
Would you mind posting some pictures if possible. Still looking myself for a case
It's a bit bulky compared to the OnePlus carbon protective case I have, but I feel a lot better now having something that will actually save the phone if I happen to drop it. Sorry for bad pics used my old phone for them.
