I'm so confused by exactly which of the 4 N5 spigen cases to choose from- they are all in the same price range and sort of look the same (except the ultra thin air one which is solely transparent)

If I'm looking for something thin that protects the screen- can anyone point me to which of those I'm looking for? And if it protects the screen- is it an inbuilt screen protector or a separate screen protector comes with it?

Also- chose spigen over ballistic because it doesn't appear they are selling N5 cases any more?? Why pull out so soon?

Thanks!

The only protection you're getting for the screen is the lip that raises the device when you set it facedown. Theres another product called the Rhinoshield which is a glass screen protector which will shatter instead of your phone screen if dropped. If I were you I wouldn't get the neo hybrid because of its square form making it awkward to hold and extremely uncomfortable. Rounded back da best. Other than that most cases have a lip and you should be fine based on personal preference.

I got the ultra fit off eBay for 8 bucks. It included a good quality hard screen protector. I like the minimalist design and the feel of it. Obviously it won't really protect your screen from a drop, but its good scratch protection which is all I require.

The ultra fit is good but it can damage your phone's corners - especially if you have the black N5. It requires a specific install method. I had this problem and Spigen hasn't responded in over a week. Just FYI if something happens to your device.

Thanks for the suggestions guys- I definitely like the idea of the rhinoshield as well.
@ctscloud What difference is there between the black and white N5 that would make it more susceptible to damage?
