Today we’re going to review the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Tech. This is a slim Spigen case that is the brightest iPhone case that we’ve ever reviewed.
The Ultra Hybrid Tech is a clear iPhone case that offers great access to your iPhone. It’s also drop rated though the clear back on the case will show wear and tear a little quicker than other cases.
For our Spigen Ultra Hybrid Tech review, we’ve given this case a score of 4.6 Eh’s out of 5 which makes this case one of the top reviewed cases to date. In our opinion, this is the best Spigen case for your iPhone. Based on our reviews, this case is followed by the Neo Hybrid Carbon, Neo Hybrid Metal and Slim and Tough Armors.

For design, the Ultra Hybrid Tech case is slim and light. The case comes with multiple pieces that clip into the clear shell. These pieces form the basis of Spigen’s “Synergy Technology”.
The clear shell is what makes the iPhone special, but we’ll cover why in the functionality part of the review. For build quality, the only thing worth noting is how easy it is to scratch the back though it’s a littler harder to scratch than Tech 21’s scratch resistants backs on the Evo Elite.

Spigen claims that the Ultra Hybrid Tech is drop-rated without giving any specifics to drop heights. From our experience, being drop-rated for a slim iPhone case means that you can drop the iPhone safely from 4ft. On average, that’s texting height.
The edges on the case are a little too shallow for in our opinion but at least Spigen is consistent for the lip across all their iPhone products. There are no extra cutouts on the case and from our month of usage, the case retains its shape well.

When it comes to the functionality of your iPhone inside the case, we can’t say anything bad about it. The buttons are nice to use; the cutouts are large enough for 3rd party accessories and screen access is great due to the low edges.
The most unique part of the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Tech is the ability to turn your iPhone into a party light show. When the flashlight is on, the light reflects along the back of the case and exits out the sides. If you decide to activate your flash to go off when a phone call comes in, you’re going to get a free light show, and if you pair it up with an upbeat ring tone, you get a perfect setup for a mini-rave.
On a more serious note, if you are hearing impaired, this case will definitely let you know that you are reviewing a call if you decide to turn on the call notifications on your iPhone.

Hey any chance you drop tested or are planning to drop test this case? I've been wanting a clear thin case that still provides some good drop protection. We're always wanting more and more right?
Probably not. I did drop it in the review video.
Do pictures get effected from the flash since the case lights up ?
Thanks
Generally not.
Love your stuff. Have a look at the X-Dora Lux cases. Also please, please, please mention if your using a screen protector and what it is while reviewing cases when test dropping them. Did you have one when testing the Play Proof cases?
Thank you
Sure Mike. For the Playproof, I had a Rhinoshield screen protector.
Please try the Spigen thin fit hybrid. Caseology cases also. Love your stuff.
I'll check them out.
Hearing Impaired? Beg to correct you there. Deaf AND/OR Hard of Hearing please. :) I'm Deaf. Hearing Impaired is incorrect term for us. :) Our hearings aren't "broken". :)
Love your site!
Does the case fit well with a Cinder Screen Protector attached? Thanks!
It should work.
Hey! great review, would this case fit an iPhone 6s plus with a brand skin on it?
Look here for case info always. From amazon reviews, it says that dust gets in the case, which scratches the back. Is there a clear case out there that offers drop protection and dust protection?
I see someone asked about fitment with the Cinder and you stated it should fit. I agree. However their site says it has issues but that the non tech hybrid fits with their product. Aren't they essentially identical cases? Anyway I guess I was just wondering if you had a chance to use the hybrid tech and cinder together, and if you had a recommendation for a screen protector for this case. Thanks!
will this case fit well with the coolreall tempered glass screen protector full cover. You should really review this screen protector. I think its really good and you'll like it too! Your videos are the most helpful out of anyone else's and please review the coolreall tempered glass screen protector full cover.
Thanks!
I will check it out.
