The Spigen Slim Armor cases for the Google Nexus 5 fall inline with Spigen’s quality design, slim, stylish and protective cases you expect from them. Most protective cases are bulky and less than attractive but Spigen never fails to meet our expectations. While we are partial to Spigen Slim Armor cases since they are what we generally have on our daily use phones see below for our full review of this one for the Google Nexus 5.
Spigen Slim Armor Nexus 5 Case Design
The Slim Armor case for the Nexus 5 as expected has a dual layer design as do most protective cases. The layers consist of a TPU case and polycarbonate hard case as a two toned design. We have reviewed the white version which has the inner black matte layer showing at the top, bottom, volume, power and around the camera as well as bevel. The white outer shell for this one is white although it also comes in black and Champagne gold. The case is thin with perfect cutouts for all areas of the device including the camera, microphone, volume, power buttons and speaker. When you hold your device within the case you will notice that it really does’t add much to the device keeping its form as close to true form as possible with any protective case.
Spigen Slim Armor Nexus 5 Case Protection
While the Spigen Slim Armor case is the thinnest case with its level of protection the dual layer design creates a well designed protective case. The inner polycarbonate layer adds superior impact protection as well as grip to reduce drops. The outer TPS shell gives it the hard outer protection thats required to protect the Nexus 5 from drops on rigid surfaces. You will also notice that the Slim Armor case has a raised bevel around the touchscreen to allow it to be placed face down without worry about scratches on the screen or scuffing up a screen protector.
Conclusion
We again are partial to the Spigen Slim Armor series of cases although its hard to fight us on this as you can see the design and protection benefits. As far as Nexus 5 cases go its one worth checking out. See the video review to get a better idea of how it looks and feels on the device as well as its incredible slim design. As a bonus the Nexus 5 Slim Armor case only costs around $25-$30 making it one of the less expensive options for protection.
