As somebody who has usually stuck with bigger cases, or flip cases for the ability to stand the phone up, I am really coming to like this case. It may be my favorite of the group. My gold Note 5 looks stunning in it, and I truly believe it looks better than without it. It allows you to see the Note 5 and not the fingerprints. This case achieves exactly what it is supposed to. I can’t recommend this highly enough
The best compliment I can give to this case is you don’t notice its appearance. The Spigen Ultra Thin Semi-Transparent Exact Fit case does exactly what you want it to. The phone pops in and out very easy and hugs it tight, adding very little bulk to the phone. This is the closest I have gotten to having a “naked” phone and if your phone looks good, then this case will look good. – 10
Excellent. The grip on the Note 5 is like an iPhone, which I consider slippery. The rubber feel on this case is a nice soft bendable rubber. Some clear cases have hard plastic that can crack, but this is more like the rubber on a door stop. It has two very small raised ridges that are practically undetectable to the human eye that go around the sides to improve the grip. Easily in the top 3 in grip. – 10
It will save you from standard drops, but this isn’t the armor you might be seeking. Good enough for me, but some of you really want a 100% safe phone. I don’t believe a case this light can do that. It is thick enough on the back to make sure your camera lens isn’t sitting against the counter and the front lip just barely protrudes a little further than the Note’s lip giving you a tiny bit more protection. Overall this is a case for looks, but I think the protection is better than expected and would protect the Note 5 from most moderate falls. – 7.5
Everything lines up absolutely perfect and being as thin as it is leaves no issues with accessing any of the plugs, buttons or S-Pen. One caveat, the Sim card slot is covered over with this case. If you are somebody who swaps Sim cards constantly this case probably isn’t for you, although the case can be pulled off very easily, but for anybody else I can’t see this case being a problem with accessibility. – 10
