Ehh after a while it seemed to fit a little better. I guess it was really warm and soft from sitting in the mail box. The case doesn't come up as high on the sides as the other tpu cases do so the phone isn't as secured. It does stay in the case though.

I decided to keep it. Its hard to explain but it feels better in the hand the longer you have the case on.

Judging from the pictures posted. This looks like my main case. Now if only USPS transfer to Canada Post wasn't so god damn slow. For people that want a case that completely covers the bezel check out the Capdase Xpose ultra slim soft jacket. Very nice case. The Diztronic is also good with a nice tight fit.

The Capdase is slightly loose but it's all good. I have a feeling SGP will win out like they always did for my previous phones.

I was going to make a new thread but I didn't want to add to the clutter.

I finally got my SPG Modello Case today. First impressions are positive...if you're into these thin cases. Unlike other TPU cases, this one does not interfere with the wet application full screen protectors (SGP Flex HD installed). Everything aligns perfectly and adds little bulk. It slides on perfectly and though some may not like that it lacks a tight fit, I found it to not be an issue. The lip of the case barely goes over the front of the device and is the reason why it doesn't interfere with full screen protectors. The case does lack some grip and there isn't much separation between a surface and the device's screen if placed down on its face. Overall, if you're looking into a thin TPU case that will go well with all screen protectors I would definitely recommend this one. This will offer little to no drop protection but if you're already interested in such a case, chances are you know this.

If anyone ordered this, can someone do a review please?? The case looks pretty slim but I wonder if it provides at least a bit of protection.. I don't usually drop my phone and pretty careful with it but still want some protection against accidents.

I thought I mentioned this above

If you want drop protection then this may not be the case for you. Sure it will absorb some impact and will prevent scratches but this case was not designed for high drops. I rarely drop my phone so I wanted a minimal case mostly for scratch protection while preserving the beauty of the device.

DONATE TO ME
I also bought this case as I'm into the thin cases. My previous standby (for Evo 4G) was Case Mate Barely There. Others have pretty much hit it on the money with their reviews. I like it a lot more than I did with my first impression. It initially seemed that the fit was slightly loose, but not anymore. It doesn't have a ton of grip, but I hate sticky cases so that's good for me. It's very low profile, yet covers most of the non-screen phone elements. If all that sounds good to you, then it's a great case and Spigen is great quality. If you want excellent drop protection, great grip, or prefer a hard plastic case (a la Barely There), then this is no the case for you.

Give a little and at least attempt to read the thread, LOL. I love this case! But I hate cases because of my wee bitty hands. As stated above, great everyday case. I'll snap on my Acase or casemate pop if I'm going to be out and about and active. Compared to the bare phone, I don't think the case is slippery but it's definitely not grippy. Compared to other slim cases, at least this one covers all the edges.
As far as the fit goes, it just fits. If you mess with it, it feels loose. If you don't mess with it, it's tight. It's magical! Seriously, I don't notice the case at all unless I try and take it off. And it will come off easily if you try but I've never felt like it was loose unless trying to take it off. If I dropped it, I'm confident it wouldn't pop off.

Currently not being productive.

I just got mine yesterday. It is a really nice case. My main issue with it is that you can see the top and bottom bezels. Now, I like it when cases show of parts of the phone like the Ringke or Barely there, this is a little different. It shows off so little of the bezel that it almost looks like they meant to cover the entire bezel but just made it a little too small. Sort of like an adult male wearing a kids t shirt that is too short that you can see their belt.

Now this might be a style, I prefer they cover the entire bezel like the 4s version. Other than that, this is a nice case.

I am deciding between this or the Capdase Xpose Slim. I would pick the Capdase though if it had cut outs for the buttons or the modello if it covered the entire bezel. If they ever make the neo hybrid or ultra hybrid in black I will probably end up with that but otherwise I would have to say the three best cases so far are the casemate barely there, sgp modello, and the capdase Xpose slim soft jacket.

I have the sgp ultra thin and not only thought it was too thin, but way too slippery. So much I put back on my cheap carbon fiber case from ebay because it offered some nice grip, albeit crappy cutouts.

I was interested in this case, but if its the same material/grippy-ness as my ultra-thin, im going to have to pass :/ just felt like it would slip out my hands any second (which it did several times)

After doing quite a bit of research on cases I bit the bullet and ordered the gray Modello case from the SGP website. It looks like it should feel/fit very similar to the SGP Ultra Hybrid case fit on my Galaxy Nexus. In my opinion that was the best fitting case available for that phone.

I am curious though, is anyone using the Modello case with the Zagg Invisible Shild HD screen protector? I'd like to switch to that protector so I was looking to replace my current TPU case with one that would work with the Zagg. It looks like the Modello should fit with it but it's hard to tell if the sides will push the protector up.

If you are running this combo please chime in.

Thanks!
