I am torn between these 2 cases from Spigen
From what i have read the Slim Armour offers more protection and a bit more bulk however the Neo Hybrid is obviously slimmer and looks better, although i suppose the looks go on personal preference
Just wondering if anyone has any of these and would you recommend them?
I would recommend both cases. I prefer the slim armor though since I've dropped every phone I've ever owned multiple times. It is more protective, buttons aren't loose and the overall fit is tighter. Like a perfect glove. I still use my Neo though. I love the look and use it on quick trips to store etc.
I had a new hybrid before. And it's a nice case however, the plastic ring around the outside was pretty flexible and it eventually broke. So I ordered a UAG case for my note 3.
I also recommend both cases. I have the white slim armor and I have 2 neo hybrids. A satin silver and a champagne gold. Both are great cases but I'd trust my Slim Armor more to take a fall. The white Slim Armor is $12.99 in the US if I'm not mistaken

Wonder if slim armor is smaller than the bounce...
I bought and received the Slim Armor case from Spigen in Slate color and man, this is a quality case. It fits snugly and perfectly. Everything is flawless. This is probably the nicest case I've ever had.
It does add some bulk to the phone but it's not a whole lot.

I measured mine and it was 13mm. This case definitely adds some bulk to the phone. Holding just the phone naked is ok, but it is not as comfortable with the case on for me.
Just a question : do you have some signal loss with the case put on the phone (either wifi or gsm) : how many DB (decibel) do you lose on the signal while putting it ?
My neo hybrid came in last night and boy is this case slippery.
Don't think I'm going to use this case for over a week.

Slim armour
I would suggest the slim armour one as this is the case I have been using from last 6 months and believe me it has never showed me any signs of worries at all..It is very finely gripped on the phone...and creates no issue of the signals and works really very fine....I dont have any hard experiences with Neo hybrid...so cant say some wrong about it..but slim armour is one of my favorites and I would highly recommend this one...!!!!
From my personal experience of playing around with both cases on a friend's note 3 I'd say the slim amour is your best bet for everyday protection with no worries. ....The neo looks better but doesn't fit as snug and imo it's more of a eye candy case yea it looks great but is slippery and almost has zero lip around the screen..If you get both I'd only use the neo when at home or maybe a night out to eat ..something along those lines...Both are great but slim Armour for protection with some added bulk or neo for good looks slim feel but you sacrifice that extra piece of mind.

I like my neo hybrid.
I took a look at the slim armour and I dont really like how it looks.
The neo hybrid is enough protection for me. It doesn't add bulk. Most importantly to me it looks like there is no case at all (in slate at least)
There is probably a 1mm lip on the screen. That might be a problem for you but I like the fact that the lip isn't too high. Just gets in the way of using the phone.
I don't find it any more slippery than no case. And my case fits pretty dam snug.
I would recommend both cases. Neo Hybrid looks better and doesn't add bulky. Slim Armor fits much better with the phone and the quality/price is better than Neo Hybrid

I have the Spigen Slim Armor in Slate and the Neo Hybrid in Champagne. I love both the slim armor more. However I'll keep both the slim armor for best protection while looking premium and the neo for when going to office conference or something formal and extravagant because it adds more pinaché. The Neo is way slimmer than Slim. Neo barely adds and bulk to back and slight mm to side. So if you're wanting slimmer profile go neo. However beware the back holds on to your oily finger prints.

I ordered both of them and I would recommend the slim armor over the neo hybrid. They both are pleasing to the eye, granted the neo hybrid looks a bit nicer but the build quality was suspect imo. The plastic frame and super cheap buttons were a recipe for failure on a "legitimate" drop. But the slim armor has more protection a little more weight but between that and the EXCELLENT tactility of the buttons make it the ultimate case for the Note 3 imo and looks just as nice

Hi, I feel like I've searched all over the internet to no avail, for hours now.
Does anybody know if there are or is a case for the SONY XPERIA ULTRA like the otterbox defenders?
I dont want a flip case, but I want the case to protect the front too, go over the screen just like a otterbox defender does, it encloses the whole phone and snaps together.
Can anyone help?
thank you

Check out Incipio dualpro,not the toughest case but the toughest you can find for xperia z ultra.

I like the feather one from incipio but...no magnetic charger cut-out? O_O
Just wanted to make a poll for case and what kind or no case at all. Do you want to eXPERIAnce it in all its glory or are you going to protect it with a tank-like shell or something in between. If possible, post your case/the one you're going to get here.
Currently I use a thin gel case and a polycarbonate back cover from Terrapin that I switch between depending on what I feel like carrying outside. But when I'm at home I use the phone naked, the feel of it without a case is simply fantastic. However I do use tempered glass on the front and some generic plastic on the back
Naked. The phone is too beautiful to hide.
Nillikin Tempered Glass on the front and normal plastic screen protector on the back.
That and some good phone insurance is enough for me :laugh:
Naked as well

I'm personally going naked but I'm buying a case for when I travel. I trust myself not to drop my phone since I'll have a lanyard but when I travel, there's no guarantee that something might happen so I'm getting a case for times like that.
I have purchased a Casemate barely there case and a Nillkin tempered glass screen protector. Delivery is this afternoon and I'll chuck them on this evening.
The phone is beautiful but it's a slippery bugger. I've never used a screen protector on any of my other phones but I'd like to keep this pristine for as long as I can despite a case taken some of its premium feel away.
I prefer naked myself when using a premium quality phone. I don't really see the point of putting plastic to cover up a phone like this.
I think the best of both worlds is to buy a leather pouch type case to put it in when your not using it and take it out when you are.
Had the same idea as many; naked all the way, until I dropped it.
Now it's gel case, chipped corners and a whole lot of crying in the fetal position.
I have the official SCR10 and it is so beautiful. It's like looking at a hot girl, way hotter when they wear bikini/underwear.
Naked with front and back screen protector.

Does the white one really stain?
There has been a lot of talk here on the Internet.

Is it the Clear or the Black case?.
I have the Black personally and find it okay. Better than it naked but I'd much prefer no case in an ideal world.
It is the white one. I wanted the white phone but EE only had the black and I thought that the white case would make up for it. Sadly it doesn't!
It is a nice case with a snug fit, but very slippery. My daughter even advised me to remove the case before I went to the pub as it was too slippery!.
I've ordered a 'rubberised' one from Amazon that should be here soon - I'lll report back when I've tried it
Nuddddde
It's either go with a TPU transparent back cover or use a leather sleeve pouch cover to enjoy a little bit of freedom. If you're not using at all you will really regret it if something happens to it!!!
I use a nillkin tempered glass with the Aixuan ultrathin case from ebay. Has the magnetic port open and fits in the sony charging dock.
I ordered the white, changed it last minute from the black.
Let's hope there is no staining issues.

How do you guys keep the Ultra?
Do you use a screen protector? Do you have it in a case or naked?

Protected, because it's so thin and i carry it in my Pockets. It needs a little bit more stability. Whithout you can see what's happening whith your device, when you put a little bit weight in the middle of the screen while having nothing at the back.
Thin device + big size, not a very clever combination, some people broken the Display because of that.

I'm not a fan of cases myself.
For the guys who keep it nude, you are okay with the scratches? The anti shatter film is a magnet
Protected with a tempered glass screen protector by Glass-M. I also swap between the Sony SPA-ACX3 camera attachment case for my Sony QX100 and the Sony CP12 battery folio case for when I'm traveling.

The god awful ASF was the reason why I applied a tempered glass screen protector. It's a bigger hassle to try and remove the ASF as it's glued/laminated onto the glass of the phone. Glass screen protectors (like the ones from Glass-M) also have the added benefit of having an oleophobic coating that's less resistant to wear, as the glass underneath the ASF doesn't have a coasting.

Naked. I can't stand using cases. It's like buying a Porsche and mount some massive plastic bumpers in case I crash. That's not the way to enjoy it! (but I totally understand why people use them)
I have my Z Ultra in my pocket without any protection which I don't normally do with phones but I find due to the size of the phone I need as much as space as I can get and using a case reduces that. I figured that although the phone might look a bit worse for wear it was the only way I'd be able to really use it however so far aside from some cosmetic scratches on the back it looks fine, there's no sign of any damage to the screen.

Front and back screen protectors and the device stays in the CP12 charging case 99% of the time. This isn't my primary device though so it's used more as a small tablet at home. Rarely do I actually use it as a phone.

It feels so thin and premium like this.

Exactly. It's being used like it was meant to [emoji5] But please don't break it. It would make me so sad, lol.

Hi, Does anyone have this case? How is it?

The clear one? I think it's the one I have, and it does the trick nicely.
It's very nice. Solid and durable. The ribber banding around the phone is low profile and will not impinge on daily usage.
Highly recommended.

I just came here to praise the case I bought a week ago: Case Mate Barely there - clear
The case is slim and fits into the original DK36 magnetic charger, it has all ports accessible. It is plastic and might break if it falls on the floor with the phone, but should protect the phone anyway.
It is not slippery, very handy and does not add too much thickness to the phone. Most of all, it is clear and the shapes and curves and color of the phone is visible.
I would recommend.
