The microUSB connector is simply too thick for the Spiegen Neo Hybrid Case for Nexus. 5
My solution:
on either side cut (top and bottom) with a sharp knife, a 1 to 2 mm layer. The cable itself is not damaged or impaired in its function. My only mistake was only the most I have worn away too much in length (up to the logo of Amazon). Here half of the stretch between the logo and the plug would be enough. Otherwise slowly grope. Then simply use a permanent marker to paint over the vacancy and ready. Pictures are online
