Great video! And I loved the fun panning shots you took of the various case models, especially the clear cases. On the Spigen (dot) com website, if you go to their About page, it says, "The word “Spigen” is a combination of two words: “spiegel,” which means mirror, and “gen,” which means genes." That doesn't tell me much, but another method to check the correct pronunciation is to find an official promo video or commercial that Spigen has produced for their products. Keep up the great work!
If u want a real tough case you go otter box defender or uag plasma series is what I had on my LG and it's a very good case... But the v40 is slim n light so why tf wld u add a bulky case to itake that away... I was really skeptical at first of how well the Spigen rugged armor could handle drops but my mind has been he's since I've dropped it many times without a incident
I'm at work right now and needing to just make a quick decision which Spigen case to get. I appreciate the TL;DR at the beginning. Just for that, I'm subscribing and turning on the notification bell. Awesome work, dude.
@@wavyalan4197 Except spider is English word and Spigen has origins in German. So... From wikipedia: The word Spigen is a combination of two words: spiegel (which means mirror in German), and gen (which means gene). Thus Spigen is pronounced Speegehn not Spyjen (yuck).
I also say Speegen although I can see why some folk would say Spygen, after all, it is an 'I'. lol. You need to ask Spigen how to pronounce it. Another great video and having watched till the end (poor Monty does not like bad language), thank you for the time you put into these videos. They certainly have helped me over the years :D
I LOVE the glasTr screen protector. I have it on my old X and Xs Max, the new Xs Max version is way better. It’s super close fit, like impossible to detect unless you look close at the speaker. There’s zero gap with a case and thin enough to not bother you without as case. So happy with it. I also have the neo hybrid case and love the feel or it. Plus the blue/silver color looks great with the gold iPhone.
Thank you for the reviews! I bought the Spigen Thin Fit 360 based off it! I was wondering what is the difference between the screen protector included in this box, and the other ones that Spigen sells? Asking because the screen protectors included with the Spigen Thin Fit 360 case say that it must only be used with this specific case.
Great video! Got my XS a few days ago and I roll with the Ultra Hybrid. Question: Does the Glass.tR EZ fit work with covers? Or will it lift off? The EZ fit isn’t available here in Denmark, so before I go and purchase one abroad, I’d like to know if it works with the cases.
I think your saying the brand name correctly, I’ve never heard it pronounced the other way. Personally I’ve never owned or used one of these cases, recently ordered the rhino nx due to your video. My favorite case however is the UAG Monarch.
First of all thank you for the review, It is helpful, but I wanted to add a few points that could help. I would appreciate to see a type of each case showed within the video, so be able to understand clearly which one is being reviewed at which point. Also, as I want to make decision which case to buy, It would greatly help me to see some kind of table at the end which would summarize the pros/cons of each case and place them on the list in terms of handling/protection/weight ration... That way it could be more easily understood, as there are many types and its hard to remember which was what. Many thanks.
8 Plus if you want to hold onto the Touch ID longer. FaceID isn't too bad once you get use to it...I personally prefer it over TouchID. My fingerprints last for a few days during the winter which means I have to constantly add new prints which got annoying. Doesn't happen with my face.
Just Picked up the Reventon for my Galaxy S9+, Strange how Spiegen charges so much more on their website then on amazon? Also how the more premium cases are not on amazon?
I really really liked the thin fit 360 for the iPhone Xs. But after a few months of use the places where the front binds with the back start breaking. On three points they have broken. Also the plastic around my on/off button broke.
If you have one on one contact with spigen tell them to put a dust plug on the tough armor! What’s the point of a tough case if you have to worry about tough atmospheres
I have the Slim Armor CS on my S10e. It's one of the best cases I have ever had. I always had spigen cases on my phones I had before. But having a little secret compartment on the back of your phone is just too good... My phone literally survived falling of my motorcycle at 30mph. If it wasn't for Spigen my phone would be dead as hell...
I own the Thin Fit and Thin Fit 360 for my Note 8. I personally like the Thin Fit for the Note 8 better then the one for iPhone xs, xs Max. It covers all the sides on the Note. Don't know why Spigen didn't do that with iPhones version. Thin Fit 360 looks good on both but I think it looks better on the Note 8. Love Spigen products as well. I sport their kickstand on both my cases too.
Do you know if the neo hybrid crystal has the soft coating on the bumper. I presume the gun metal does and the satin silver does not. But who knows what Spigen is doing now. The gun metal colours always had a soft coating to them and the satin silvers had an awful slippery feeling to them. I’m thinking about getting the neo hybrid crystal but I want one with the soft coating and feed back would be appreciated thanks
If I were to purchase the Spigen Tough Armor Designed for Apple iPhone Xs Case (2018) / Designed for Apple iPhone X Case (2017) - Matte Black, how do I select for the Xs case and not the X case?
Something you didn't discussed is the fact that these XS cases from Spigen are the X cases with a new box labeled as "XS". The camera bump in the XS is different and that part of the case doesn't fit right. I bought their XS version of the Ultra Hybrid and doesn't fit correctly and I returned it. Now if you try to buy that same case it says that ships in 1-2 months. Apparently the backlash and comments got to them. So instead of calling people "dumbass" in your video you should do your work better.
They are not. All my cases came in boxes labelled XS that fit with the iPhone XS. They didn't fit the X well. Did you know that beyond the fancy editing, I actually do my homework on my cases?
Spigen thin fit is not very nice at all the quality has gone down but I haven’t tried the 360 I may give that a try when my tempered glass screen protector needs to be replaced
Alicia Walmsley I like my defender pro. Love the protection it offers and the grip it offers. I try the OtterBox synergy but it wasn’t for me! Scratched way to easy. If the I phone wasn’t so slippery I would of loved to try case free!
A friendly tip: Don’t tell us you put in a lot of effort into these reviews in every video... let the effort speak for its self. I’m sure no one will disagree with you.
Do beware with the Tough Armor as its iPhone X case will NOT fit the XS. The tight camera cutout on the side of the Apple logo will be pushed outwards due to the slightly larger camera bump. Strange enough, Spigen uses the same product code for both the X and XS (black) versions; 057CS22160 / 8809565300578
"Don't be a dumbass and buy the 10 version for the 10s. It won't fit." The thing about this comment about the Thin Fit 360 is that on Amazon it says it does and doesn't offer a 10s only version. The following is from the product description on Amazon, "Designed for Apple iPhone XS Case (2018) / Designed for Apple iPhone X Case (2017)"

To all of the ppl that wrote it's spigen it doesn't help so ...
I LOVE the fact that he was like "buy this one" in the first 15 sec.
Jacob Hughes I loved that too!
When I saw the video is 13min long I knew it will be a long boring waste of time but that dude just blew my mind when he said that
Your videos are really informative and have helped me choose a case in the past, I will always come back to this channel to help with my case choices
:)
If u want a real tough case you go otter box defender or uag plasma series is what I had on my LG and it's a very good case... But the v40 is slim n light so why tf wld u add a bulky case to itake that away... I was really skeptical at first of how well the Spigen rugged armor could handle drops but my mind has been he's since I've dropped it many times without a incident
We need bezels for holding on to.. My v40 has a perfect screen to body ratio... 83.6
You’re the best case reviewer on the history of youtube ever!! Keep it up man!!
I'm at work right now and needing to just make a quick decision which Spigen case to get. I appreciate the TL;DR at the beginning. Just for that, I'm subscribing and turning on the notification bell. Awesome work, dude.
You, my friend, are Always my favorite for learning about cases! So much fun to learn! Thanks for all your time and hard work.
Your video are getting better and better. Love your video and keep up the good work!!
:)
Wow I’m the first!! Waiting for the upload. Good I was looking forward to this.
Been waiting for this video. Yayyy keep it up man
Great video-- thank you. And your dog, Just adorable!!!!
:)
That BTS DNA intro is lolololol. A for effort man 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 . I do enjoy your reviews
I say speegehn. Spyjen is just.. no.
Heh, never occured to me to spell it out.
Zerondaes do u say spider or speeder? Exactly
@@wavyalan4197 Except spider is English word and Spigen has origins in German. So...

Loving the new intro dude
:)
Thanks for the video. Very helpful!
New intro is great, nice job! Review is just Awsome and thorough just as always 😃👍
Loving the intro!
Great arms bud! 💪🏽😎
Good review!
I'm loving the thumb nails! :3
I have the Liquid Armor currently but I am hoping to get the Rugged Armor soon for my phone
Love spigen cases!! Have it on my iPhone 7 iPad mini and Apple Watch all tough armor! Have been using spigen since my iPhone 5S days
love your dog! 💓

Love the new intro but I will miss the old one.
I will miss the old one as well but I'll throw it in ever once in a while.
I LOVE the glasTr screen protector. I have it on my old X and Xs Max, the new Xs Max version is way better. It’s super close fit, like impossible to detect unless you look close at the speaker. There’s zero gap with a case and thin enough to not bother you without as case. So happy with it. I also have the neo hybrid case and love the feel or it.

I always feel that names like that fall into the “read or read” type of category.
So is the Neo hybrid a good protective case ?
Yes
Thank you for the reviews! I bought the Spigen Thin Fit 360 based off it!
I was wondering what is the difference between the screen protector included in this box, and the other ones that Spigen sells?
Asking because the screen protectors included with the Spigen Thin Fit 360 case say that it must only be used with this specific case.
I hope I’m not the only one who started to say the intro and realized it’s different
Nominated for the greatest comment today!
aye that new into is nice
:)

In my experience, one of the best I had is the Spigen Rugged Armor without the stand. I tried UAG (breaks easily), Otterbox Commuter (too bulky), etc.
They got rid of the Commuter for the Xs's and made the Symmetry slimmer. The Defenders are still giant.
Is it HunDay... or Hyyyyendie??
I think your saying the brand name correctly, I’ve never heard it pronounced the other way. Personally I’ve never owned or used one of these cases, recently ordered the rhino nx due to your video. My favorite case however is the UAG Monarch.

Awesome video
Can’t decide what to upgrade to from a 6? A 8 or 8 plus......what ya guys think? Maybe a X.....hate Face ID though. Love the home button
Jeff R love my x max currently. Face ID scared me but I actually like it
8 Plus if you want to hold onto the Touch ID longer. FaceID isn't too bad once you get use to it...I personally prefer it over TouchID. My fingerprints last for a few days during the winter which means I have to constantly add new prints which got annoying. Doesn't happen with my face.
Thanks for review! Does the thin fit silver case have the same rubber texture as the black version?
Just Picked up the Reventon for my Galaxy S9+, Strange how Spiegen charges so much more on their website then on amazon? Also how the more premium cases are not on amazon?
Why are there cutouts for the Apple logo? Not like iPhones are fashion accessories, right?
Help with the handling.
@@MobileReviewsEh what
Thin fit 360 looks really good! Except I think I need more drop protection 🙃
Does the glastr whatever it’s crazy name is edge to edge fit with cases?
Will depend on the case. I think it will work with most.
I think your pronunciation is correct. Most of my friends who use Spigen cases including myself all don’t pronounce it as Spy Gen
:)
Love that into!
What's wrong with the liquid air? Nice minimalist design, good balance of protection and slimness, no pointless apple logo cutout..
I agree
I really really liked the thin fit 360 for the iPhone Xs. But after a few months of use the places where the front binds with the back start breaking. On three points they have broken. Also the plastic around my on/off button broke.
my favourite phone case company! love the ultra hybrid
I saw the way you say it. Also I have the liquid air. I love it.
Dont the clear cases get yellow with time?
Is the tough armor in black is the only one in soft touch ? I got one and hate that.
Lmao at the bts reference. Just grabbed a hybrid for myself and a tough armor for my father. 😂 As always, thank you for the epic reviews.
Hey aaron, which case is thicker? The otterbox defender, defender pro, or the spigen pro guard?
And more grippier?
If you have one on one contact with spigen tell them to put a dust plug on the tough armor! What’s the point of a tough case if you have to worry about tough atmospheres
They had a Tough Armor Tech years ago with a dust plug...they discontinued it.
Which one would you prefer for iPhone , the thin fit 360 or the ultra hybrid 360?
Hey , what can you say about Spigen Slim armor crystal , it also called Spigen Hybrid crystal. Can’t find any info or review about it
I’m thinking about picking up neo hybrid crystal or this one, can’t decide
Do you have an idea when the a waterproof case will be available for the XS Max?
No clue. Working on getting some.
So which ones the best case ?
I drop my phone at an above average rate but I want a clear case. Which spigen would you recommend?
Does this apply to each iPhone? Or is this specifically for iPhone XS? (Asking for my iPhone 6s)
I have the Slim Armor CS on my S10e. It's one of the best cases I have ever had.
I always had spigen cases on my phones I had before. But having a little secret compartment on the back of your phone is just too good...
My phone literally survived falling of my motorcycle at 30mph. If it wasn't for Spigen my phone would be dead as hell...
Slim Armor is ok. I like the TOugh Armor more but it has no wallet version.
Like the Neo Hybrid case but any case with the cut out for the Apple logo doesn’t get a look at.Not sure why but seems to cheapen it for me.
Thanks for the comment.
I own the Thin Fit and Thin Fit 360 for my Note 8. I personally like the Thin Fit for the Note 8 better then the one for iPhone xs, xs Max. It covers all the sides on the Note. Don't know why Spigen didn't do that with iPhones version. Thin Fit 360 looks good on both but I think it looks better on the Note 8. Love Spigen products as well. I sport their kickstand on both my cases too.
Thanks for the comment.
Can you please review the new Otterbox Defender Pro?
This week.
Are they going to make a belt clip for the tough armor for the iPhone xs max?
I have no idea.
calgary library card? do you leave in calgary?
Yep.
Cool! We are neighbors! Maybe I’ll meet you someday!
I have a Neo Hybrid for my XS Max. Must be the most slippery case I ever bought. I had to put some grip tape on the sides.
Was there no soft rubber coating?
Hard plastic frame with rubber tray part.
Spigen calls their product Spee-Gehn
Watch their videos on Amazon where they present their phone cases. They pronounce it that way
Sweet.
This video was way more entertaining then it should of been lol ...👍🏾👍🏾
How about the camera cut out of spigen ip x to spigen ip xs? Are they the same?
Do you know if the neo hybrid crystal has the soft coating on the bumper. I presume the gun metal does and the satin silver does not. But who knows what Spigen is doing now. The gun metal colours always had a soft coating to them and the satin silvers had an awful slippery feeling to them. I’m thinking about getting the neo hybrid crystal but I want one with the soft coating and feed back would be appreciated thanks
My gun metal did, the silver did not.
Hi there!
Could you please let me know if the the neo hybrid offers military grade drop protection for iphone xs max.
If I were to purchase the Spigen Tough Armor Designed for Apple iPhone Xs Case (2018) / Designed for Apple iPhone X Case (2017) - Matte Black, how do I select for the Xs case and not the X case?
The spigen X cases don’t fit my XS properly. The bigger camera causes fitment issues.
Can you review a good glass screen protector for the Apple Watch series 4 plz. Thx
Working on it.
You should check out Caseology, they were the brands that converted me from Spigen.
I'll check them out. I have used a few cases from them for the 8.
That bts moment 😂😍
That BTS intro slayed 😂
:)
Can you review zizo cases for iphone xs they look good
Maybeo.
You’re saying it right.
Something you didn't discussed is the fact that these XS cases from Spigen are the X cases with a new box labeled as "XS".

They are not. All my cases came in boxes labelled XS that fit with the iPhone XS. They didn't fit the X well.
Did you know that beyond the fancy editing, I actually do my homework on my cases?
Does iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max have crystal shell???
They should.
The point of wireless charging is that it doesn’t need to be fast if it’s convenient
Fast charging > Wired charging.
✨Are you able to review that LifeProof Next case for the XS Max or is it too expensive at $80?
I will eventually.
Ugh, don’t bother. Your former review of it holds true. It’s not worth $80. It’s trash.
Spigen thin fit is not very nice at all the quality has gone down but I haven’t tried the 360 I may give that a try when my tempered glass screen protector needs to be replaced
If I use an edge to edge screen protector with the tough armor on an iphone xs max, would it fit? Or would i need a smaller protector?
I like the new Defender series Pro from OtterBox.
It's a tank of a case.
Hands-down the greatest case the catalyst.
It's pretty good.
I have no clue how to pronounce Spigen 🤷♀️😂 thanks for the review of these cases and also the screen protectors 👍
Ive been subbed since either 13 or 30k nice work with the vids
Love the new intro but the dial up modem hurt my ears
Thanks. I'll bump the sound on that down a level.
I use the Reventon (blue with silver lining) for my iPhone X. I like it very much. 🙂
Such a nice case.
Very nice case indeed! 👍🏽
I appreciate the improvement in production value, but I don't like that a lot of your editing choices seem way to similar to EXCESSORIZE ME.
I've been getting my inspiration from old Peter Mackinnon videos. I know of the other channel but don't really pay attention to it.
Hello can you fit IPhone XS to spigen IPhone X case? Will it fit
what about LG?
I bought the slim Armor cs and it was crap. And way too thick and not soft coating hello spigen what are you doing
Using the OtterBox defender right now. Honestly I love it, it’s tough, grippy, and it’s an OtterBox!
Have you looked at the Defender pro series?
Otterbox roundup is planned for this week.
It’s as thick as a brick talk about taking the beautiful design of the iPhone right out of the equation
Alicia Walmsley I like my defender pro.
Love the protection it offers and the grip it offers.
I try the OtterBox synergy but it wasn’t for me! Scratched way to easy.
If the I phone wasn’t so slippery I would of loved to try case free!
Spigen cases are mostly too slippery, the tough armors are so easy to fall out of your hand, their Neo Hybrid is just even worse!
Thanks for the comment.
A friendly tip: Don’t tell us you put in a lot of effort into these reviews in every video... let the effort speak for its self. I’m sure no one will disagree with you.
I definitely notice his effort. His case transitions from hand to phone and drop test clips etc. make it clear.
I love the new intro...or is it just new to me?!? What day is it!? Who is this? How did you get my number??😨 Don't call me here again.
It's new!
Do beware with the Tough Armor as its iPhone X case will NOT fit the XS. The tight camera cutout on the side of the Apple logo will be pushed outwards due to the slightly larger camera bump.

You're pronouncing it correctly! Just check out their youtube videos if you're not sure lol :D
I did a few years ago, watched a bunch and they never actually pronounced their brand so I gave up.
You're fine, I checked for you!
"Don't be a dumbass and buy the 10 version for the 10s. It won't fit." The thing about this comment about the Thin Fit 360 is that on Amazon it says it does and doesn't offer a 10s only version.
