not really sure how you define rubber feel. it doesn't feel that smooth when compared to dry application, but not to the extend of rubber texture.

that means got that tacky feeling? like surf edmw sometimes the thread very long and need to scroll down, left & right. Tacky means will stick ur fingers abit.

anyone uses those wet application screen protectors like xtremeguard? do they feel rubbery after application?

Using 1 on Nexus 7, yes will experience that rubbery friction feeling, not as smooth as other SP.

Yeah, it does have that tacky feeling. Place your phone faced down on a surface, tilt the platform at an angle yet the phone wont slide down at all.

Here are my observations of the ringke fusion case...

1. There's is a very slight give at sides. You can feel it move when you squeeze it and squeaks at times which I think is usual for tpus. But the tpu used is hard and rigid so it does not flop.
2. The lip at the sides are not so prominent but there's a slight raise at the top and bottom similar to the ringke slim which give it more protection when placing the phone face down.
3. The buttons are not that tactile to the touch but I think it will be over time as ive notice it is starting to be now.
4. It feels great in the hand. Feels like a poetic bumper with a plastic back.
5. I can slightly see the chrome bezel at the top and bottom but not as obvious as the original bumper which I dont like. The poetic bumper does a better job on hiding it uniformly.
6. The craftsmanship is top notch and really is a premium case.

Overall, its one of the best case IMO. Very sturdy and i think it will give good protection bcoz the tpu is hard plus the "polycarbonate?" back.

My top case for now is the poetic borderline bumper. Very snug fit and the buttons are tactile. The updated version hasnt peeled on me yet. This is my alternative case for more protection.

Using my phone totally naked. Hopefully when it spoils n5 would be out. It's just a god damn phone with no lte. Don't think it's worth the hassle and money to protect it.

Bro. U r missing the point. It is a Nexus. It is suppose to lack something major so mainstream Android vendors can improve on

Nexus is all about the software. The pure android experience.

I was using s2. Got sick of touchwiz and Samsung's tardy OS updates. Now a happy N4 user
