Can't say for sure, but most likely will. The Neo Hybrid is a pretty slim case, and most likely won't cause problems.

I ordered the Ultra Slim Whatcha-ma-Call-It and it should be here this week. Assuming I don't drop my phone, again, I'll get a pic of it up when it comes in.
That's great to hear because this is one of the cars that I purchased and am looking forward to it. Also ordered the Supcase and the Poetic bumper.

I have Slim Armor case which I think is great case but I am interested in slimmer neo hybrid case. The reason I went with slim armor is I believed I need the extra protection. I also thought tpu neo hybrid would be flimsy and not very durable though the tpu in slim armor is very well made and rigid.
Those that have neo hybrid case is back case where can you feel tpu very solid and is there give in you where you actually feel the back N5?
With the slim armor the tpu is weakest in middle where the plastic mid section covers the tpu.

Man, I have been using this case ALL DAY and never knew that there was a film on both the inside AND outside! Thanks for that info.
I do have to say though, I prefer the feel of the phone naked vs in the hybrid bumper case (the case feels too angular) ...But I can't imagine dropping and damaging my shiny new Nexus, so I guess I will deal with this case until I find something that feels better.

My case came with inserts for the back. Did you get those too? Are you going to use them?

Just got my slim armor (white) and neo hybrid (silver) in the mail since I couldn't decide based on pics alone which one I wanted so I ordered both. No problems with fitment or buttons with either one. I can take comparison pics if anyone wants them. There are tons of pics out there already but figured I'd offer. Despite the tiny bit of added thickness over the neo I think I like the slim armor better, but it's a tough call. I may just keep both ans swap back and forth now and again to change things up.

Since there are a bunch of typical phone in case type pics all over the place now I figured I'd shoot the ones I didn't see that show the thickness difference between the Nexus 5 itself, Neo Hybrid and Slim Armor. Despite it being the thickest I still like the Slim Armor best.

How thick is tpu case on neo hybrid compared to the slim armor tpu?
The parts of the tpu that are exposed on slim armor are beef up compared the neo hybrid case's tpu back.
The slim armor exposed tpu is thick and solid with not much give.
How much give is there to back of the neo hybrid?
Can you feel the back the nexus 5 if you were press finger down back firmly of neo hybrid case?
Also is Neo Hybrid notable slimmer in hand compared to slim armor?
I have slim armor but feel I would like to go with slimmer neo hybrid as long as gives the same level of protection for back case. I am not worried so much as drops but scuffs to back my Nexus 5. I am mechanic so I will have tools in pocket that will rub,press and bang up against my Nexus 5.

The TPU on the Neo is 1/16" thick on the whole back, just measured it for you. I don't notice any give since the phone is touching the TPU all across the back. The Neo is actually wider than the Slim by around 1/16", which is half the thickness of the plastic band around the edge.
I think the recessed camera would be a benefit of the Slim for you if you toss a tool in your pocket that hits or slides across the case. Since the Neo leaves the lens flush with the case the tool could crack or scratch the camera lens but won't touch the recessed lens when using the Slim.

I've already posted my thoughts about the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case on the Ultra Hybrid case thread so head over there if you like. Basically I said that the case will protect the phone pretty well. Worth $10 for me but if you want a more premium build, get the Neo Hybrid.

I've got it working right now with a Qi Charger. I'm using this one I got off of Amazon for about 20 bucks: Amazon.com: Lerway Wireless Qi Power Charger Pad for Nexus 4 Lumia920 HTC 8X S4 S3 Note II (White): Cell Phones & Accessories
Works like a charm with the NeoHybrid on.
Hi, I'm having difficult time to choose between Neo Hybrid and Slim Armor. Most of my question was answered, but one. Does these two cases had issue to fit headset , specifically right angled headset jack ?
