Look at this case from Spigen:
http://www.amazon.com/Spigen®-Perfe...sim_cps_6?ie=UTF8&refRID=0EA6W7FV5GQNXKJA69DC
It's super thin, perfect fit and more importantly CRYSTAL CLEAR.
Too bad, it's not yet available.
I found other crystal clear case, but not as thin as this one.
But, I don't have any experience with SPIGEN crystal clear thin-fit case, so I cannot comment much.
They do have for Nexus 5:

Mods, I know there's a ringke thread and a spigen thread but this is comparing them side by side. If you think this shouldn't be here fine, let me know.
I have been using a spigen ultra hybrid, ok but not great. It looks and feels cheap, the back is very slick and slippery, and overall it is only just ok. I had bought a slim armor as well and disliked that so much I sent it back immediately.
I just got the ringke fusion today and love it, much better than the spigens. First of all, it's much nicer to hold, it feels better and isn't nearly as slick. Secondly, it has dust covers but if you don't like them it's easy to cut them off and not even know they were there. Third thing is imo it just looks better than the spigen, it gives off a higher quality look.
If you haven't ordered a case yet I'd go with the fusion over any spigen at all. I'm definitely going together the max when it's available.
A thread already exists with this same exact title, http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/accessories/ringke-vs-spigen-t2953095
I'm glad that you feel that way about the case though, I made a order of the Ringke Fusion and Ringke SLIM for a total of $15. I currently am using the spigen ultra hybrid as a placeholder. My biggest grip with the Ultra Hybrid was that the volume rocker and power button was so close apart that sometimes, I'd misclick the wrong button.
For the Fusion, it separates the two but for the Spigen, I like how they offered more colors. I personally love the color of the Metal Slate. It looks and blends in nicely with Midnight Blue.
Also you forgot to mention that Ringke includes a free screen protector. Not that its tempered glass but the extra bonuses without any additional cost is always nice to have.
Just got my fusion too and I love the way the buttons feel. Best case to me so far.
I made some short video reviews of my current cases. I have some more cases on the way that I will add to the reviews below.

This case isn't for everyone but I enjoy the nice look of a "bumper style case". The case isn't what I would normally call a bumper case but its still nice for $7. The buttons have an alright feel (they can get a little spongey) and the protection is what you would expect from a bumper. The bumper makes my phone larger than the Spigen Ultra Hybrid which is surprising considering that its just a bumper and the Spigen is a full case. The design could have been better by making it smaller. The charging port is a fair size and will fit the stock cable just fine with a very minimal bulge. The headphone cut out is also on the smaller side but it should fit most headphones. Overall its a decent case for the money, and if you want a bumper I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Thanks I'll fix the videos when I get home today. I'm waiting in a class to start currently so I can't change them until its over.
OP Updated Nillkin bumper added
Hi everyone, just switched from my Nexus 5 to an LG G3 today. First priority is to pick up a decent case and screen protector combo.
Been reading on the forums but haven't really found many definitive answers.
I've been looking at 2 cases:
-Tudia Ultra Slim Lite
-Diztronic Matte Black TPU
If anybody can shed some light on which will offer a better fit and grip/feel in the hand, and which is more compatible with a wide variety of screen protectors,
it would be greatly appreciated.
Lastly, I've noticed a ton of screen protectors seem to have one large rectangular cutout for the earpiece and sensors which I do not like.
Which companies offer the most screen coverage? (Doesn't have to be glass)
I've noticed these Spigen Crystal Clear protectors show precision cuts but who knows how accurate that is
http://www.amazon.ca/Protector-Spig...373279&sr=8-5&keywords=lg+g3+screen+protector
I would like to put in orders this weekend so I can start using this badboy to its full potential!
Thank you in advance, hopefully I'll be able to shed light on other questions in return sometime soon.

Diztronics makes great quality cases. Was not a fan of the feel of tudia case for my g2. Cruzerlite cases are legit as well.
I don't have any pictures, but I have the Diztronic and love it. It has a nice feel and doesn't smudge like a gloss tpu would.
It's paired with a Zagg glass screen protector and fits well. For a glass that has precise cutouts the PThink brand that can be found on Amazon has just the earpiece cutout. I would have gotten that one if I found it before buying the Zagg.

Thanks for the replies guys, I ended up ordering the Diztronic + Spigen Crystal clear protectors
Just thought I'd give an update here, possibly for anyone looking for a good case for their phone.
Got my diztronic in the mail today, and it makes me wonder why I never bothered to order one of their cases in the past.
For the price you pay, you're getting a great fitting case which looks good and feels good in the hand. Doesn't seem to add much extra bulk to the phone either.

Did you get the regular TPU case or the ultra version of it? Both are nice! I'd also recommend the Tactical Impact by Tech21. It is similar to the Diztronic but the TPU is more rugged and interior is lined with D3O material. Awesome case for $20

I opted for just the regular diztronic TPU as I didn't want to add any significant bulk to the phone but still have some sort of scratch protection
One thing that worries me about it though is if the matte coating were to start rubbing off.
This happened to a rearth ringke case I purchased for my Galaxy S2 way back when. That was quite disappointing
You shouldn't need to worry about wear on the diztronic case. I've had one on my Galaxy S3 for a couple years without any visible wear and it goes everywhere with me.
Hey guys, I just recieved several cases for the Samsung S7 from Caseology. They are leather and tpu material in construction. They feel great in the hand and are slim on the phone
Check them out.

I got a caseology TPU with the hard plastic boarder on the outside for the edge. I love the buttons compared to my Spigen tough armor case, They really nailed that button design. I like it. Also all the cutouts are super easy on the hands. By that i mean all edges are very soft. THe spigen case cutouts were cutting into my pinky and was super sharp. especially the headphone cutout.

How does the leather back feel? I really love the look of that one, and if I could get that one cheaper I would buy it in an instant.
does anyone know how does Parallax case works with edge to edge screen protectors?

What's the difference?
spigen marked armor vs rugged armor
Thanks in advance,
The rugged armor is well, more rugged and bulkier. Thus a little more protection. Marked armor is a nice case but offers little protection of the screen and camera. They pretty much sit flush ( i.e. no lip ) with the edge.

The images on Amazon looks like the complete opposite but I will take your word for it.

Ah man, no no no, I'm sorry! I got the rugged armor confused with the spigen slim armor case. Sorry about that man. Can't comment on the rugged armor, but the Marked armor provides little screen and camera protection.
Here is a link to a Rugged armor review.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...s/spigen-rugged-armor-huawei-p20-pro-t3777178
Sorry again.
Been following this as well and personally always regarded the rugged armor as nice but something that has grown into a generic Spigen design that gets scaled/cut to fit the receiving phone.
The marked armor for the P20 series looks like its a redesign or extension of the old rugged style for vertical running camera setups and also has a bit of a raised lip to protect the raised camera bump. Actually I'm on the spigen website now and it appears like they are reverting back to the 'Rugged' name for the upcoming series (see P30 renders) instead of running with both 'Marked' and 'Rugged' labels. Raised lip and wider hatch patterns looks to be present for the rugged case design for vertical running multi camera setups
Anyhow, I've taken a gamble and ordered one to see if the marketing holds true. haha
