spigen already shipping case. Release soon?

After years of every phone being "just 1-2mm" bigger it really adds up. :/

and this is the price of progress.

the price of progress may cause a deficit in customers.

no that's the beauty of Android and the free market. choice. and it's the free market dictates screen sizes.

Ha! Spigen is taking advantage of this, and probably sold a tons of cases. Most people want a case the day they receive their device...I'd hate to drop the phone on day 1 w/o a case...:'(

So according to your comparison photos either all of you got a case for something bigger than the Nexus 5, or the dimensions all over the internet are bull.

Companies like Spigen are given CAD files of the device or an actual display device to use for building their accessories.

I remember when the Iphone 4S was rumored to be bigger. I bought a case from a company before it was released. When it was revealed that the phone wasn't any different the case manufacturer apologized and refunded my money. I'm hoping the case fits but, Amazon has a 30 day return window. If it gets close and the phone still isn't released I'll return the case.

Spigen is a pretty big case manufacturer. I don't think they would sell cases that prematurely. It would look bad for them to sell wrongly sized cases. It would look like they are unreliable and like they have such a poor relationship with OEMs that they can't even get their hands on the specs before the phone is officially released. On the bright side, even if there was some huge screw up, Spigen is a big and reputable enough company they would surely offer free exchanges.

I got my neo hybrid case in the mail today, by the way.

This is indeed all crazy. I just got a pack of 4 spigen screen protectors from Amazon. It fits almost just right on my G2. The only difference is the placement of the camera hole. I hope this is correct, because I will like it if it's this size, although I heard the dimensions were closer to the Nexus 4. I guess i'll finnd out.

I have not found the Ultra Crystal screen protectors in your picture anywhere. Do you have a link to the Amazon listing where you got them?
Thanks

I have one sitting right on top of the phone, the LG G2. Are you trying to view it on your phone? It should be pretty clear when viewed from a computer screen. The package is also sitting right next to the phone, which is all you will see in the link I'm providing.

I just noticed the tso holes at the bottom of the case on each side of the micro usb port. Does this mean the Nexus will have stereo speakers?

Sorry. I meant that I could not find them for sale on Amazon. The listing you gave to Amazon appears to be different from the package shown in the picture. The pic shows a 4 pack of Steinheil Ultra Crystal and the Amazon link is just a three pack listed as Crystal Base PET. I am looking for the Steinheil type.
Thanks

Sorry, they must have changed it or sent me the wrong ones. I copied the link from my orders page and that's what it shows. I'm glad I got the Ultra Crystal instead, I hadn't even paid attention to that until you pointed it out.
