Sgp neo hybrid

I keep seeing these cases popping up online. Anyone try these out? Should I order this one or the surface case by seidio? I'm worried this phone will shatter if I drop it!

I havn't tried the neo hybrid case yet but i currently own the Ultra Capsule case in green by SGP (search "ultra capsule skyrocket" on amazon)
This is not a hard case, but more of a rubber type. I really like it so far with the exception of the slight glitter look it has (but I don't even notice is unless the light is right). I've dropped my phone a few times and not a single mark was made.
According to amazon people are having issues with the Neo Hybrid loosening up a bit with use, so I'm not sure if it will be worth the price or not. Sorry I cant help more!
If you do end up looking into the Ultra Capsule case note that the speaker cutout on the back does not match perfectly( however i did not notice a muffled sound with the case on)
I have the Neo hybrid its not a bad case it has a thin profile I used it before I was able to get the otter commuter.

I'm really thinking of just saying the hell with it and getting the Otterbox Defender. I really need some good protection on this device lol.

I have a Neo Hybrid on my Skyrocket. It's a nice case but as others have said, the rubber silicone part is starting to get a little loose on mine.
My wife has an SGP Linear series on her original GSII and I really like it. SGP doesn't make it for the Skyrocket however. They said if there is enough interest it's possible they may in the future.
The linear series is like the Hybrid but with a plastic back instead of the silicone rubber.

Spigen Neo Hybrid vs Tough Armor?

Has anybody tried both the Spigen Neo Hybrid and the Spigen Tough Armor cases?
I bought the Spigen Neo Hybrid from amazon for my S5 and I feel like it adds a bit more bulk compared to how the Spigen Neo Hybrid is on the S4 or the Nexus 5.
Has anybody tried them both and what's better in your opinion?
(I prefer slimness opposed to protection)
I have the neo hybrid and I absolutely love it. the quality s through the roof and the way it feels in your hand is amazing. the metalized buttons are very responsive and function perfectly. I have dropped my phone twice and it has done its job. I ordered mine off amazon and received it in about 5 days paid around 25
I don't know if I got a fake or what, but I got a Neo Hybrid from Amazon for $15 and absolutely hate it. The fit isn't the best but not terrible, but it just feels awful and makes the phone feel much, much bigger.
I prefer the Ringke slim or even the Spigen Slim to the Neo Hybrid by far. Protection without the bulk.
I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid and absolutely love it.
Great grip, snaps into place perfectly, and the metallic colored buttons feel good.
I have both versions of the the Neo Hybrid. I loved the S4 version but the S5 one is just too bulky in order to completely flat out the camera hump underneath. I'm currently waiting to buy one of the slimmer cases in a trip to the US.
Any new user to the S5 Neo Hybrid would love the build quality and toughness but the S4 version is miles better. IMHO this is not SGP's fault as their design goal for the NH is to have a flat back and S5's camera hump is a lot more prominent.
Cheers.

I also got one from Amazon, and it seems worse quality than what I had before on the s4... the rubber came scratched, the power button feels loose, and the volume rocker is actually slightly bent so it pops out quite easily.
I also ordered the tough armor case, and I like the feel and minimal bulk of the case. The only gripe I have with it is the fact that the power and volume buttons don't protrude, but I'll get used to it.
There are a lot of fake Spigen cases out there. each one comes with a code you can type in on Spigens website to let you know if it's genuine or not. I bought mine (Neo Hybrid) direct from Spigen for £19 and whilst it's good I think it adds a little too much bulk to the phone. It also makes accessing the USB port difficult if you keep your nails short.

[Q] S4 black edition + Samsung case

Hello,
so i just bought me a brand new awesome phone a week ago, which is the galaxy s4 black edition :victory:
my former phone was an S3 mini which i used with the original samsung protective cover and i thought they fit perfectly together.
so i ordered the same for my s4 black edition, the samsung blue navy protective cover and it arrived today.
to my surprise i doesn`t fit so well i mean the lip of the case doesn`t even cover completely the silver edge of the phone
is this edition slightly thicker? have any of you guys had this same problem? any other similar case you could recommend?
i`ll just answer my own question: the protective cover+ does NOT fit the black edition
also tested the cover+ with an old black mist battery cover and they match alright
keep this in mind if you bought an s4 black edition too
I bought lately black edition back for my i9505, and what was my biggest surprise my phone doesn't fit anymore to my Sleeve/ Pouch. ( to be exact PURO Essential View )
And it's not even matter of size, but back structure on black edition is imitating leather and in a contrast to genuine leather it's a little bit sticky.
So when I want to put it into my pouch fraction is to big, so I cannot easily put it in and out.
So if you will be wandering about this solution I cannot recommend it either.

Hell, that case barely goes with my Black Mist version. The front is still too black for the navy blue back and deep purple/blue border. But, it's the sleekest case that offers this much protection. If you want a case that matches your blacker 'Black Edition' phone, I would get the black version of the Spigen Slim Armor. Not quite as grippy or thin as the Cover+ but it's blacker for sure.
As for fitment, the Cover+ fits excellently, but sometimes, the top part shows a sliver of silver. I'll just push it back on the phone and it's good again.
I`m interested to buy Spigen Neo Hybrid case for my I9506 black edition but i`m not sure if it fits as the case was designed for original S4.
Are there anyone using this combination?
Thanks!

You can use the Spigen Neo Hybrid case with your black edition i9506, I am using it right now on my phone.

Great! I heard about usb port cutout is a bit narrow, can you confirm it?
I`m gonna use mostly kingston micro stick duo flash drive and just want to be sure in compatibility.
Thanks!

Most propably you will have problem to use this stick and you will have to take out the phone from the case.

I bought the black edition and i want to buy exactly this case puro essential view, with pull up ability. It is useless?? or it just goes in and out more difficult than the black mist?
Sorry for so late repply. In my case I've resigned from back edition back, cause I was afraid to no to damage pure case and back at the same time.
I have S4 mini Black edition

[Q] Slim Cases Not As Slim as Iphone 6 Cases

Why are all the cases for the S6/Edge not as slim as the Iphone 6 cases? There are cases
which are down to .3mm thin for the Iphone 6 but most are > 1 mm for these phones.
my 2 cents
Galaxy S6 ist not even officially out yet. Wait till end of april and there will me many new cases.
yeah especially my favorite case the spigen capsule, its super thick on the gs6 but the ip6 version was perfect come on spigen...

Thinnest case with FULL port / S-Pen flap/covers??

Im looking for the thinnest case that includes covered buttons as well as the aux/usbc/spen covered but cant seem to find anything.
If there is one, its usually 12 feet wide -_-
It doesnt have to be crazy thin, but I would like something considerably less than those heavy duty thick defender/otterbox cases.
I recently dropped and cracked my Note 7, but am getting my fixed battery replacement soon (thank god i dropped this one), so now im scared to drop the new one lol.
i use slickwraps' real leather skin. At minimum it protects the back glass and adds no bulk, plus it adds some grip.

Galaxy Note 7 Case, CHOETECH Slim & Soft TPU Phone Case Crystal Clear Transparent Anti Slip Back Cover with Dust Caps for Samsung Galaxy Note 7
I've been using this one and it's super thin, covers the ports. My favorite case since I'm not to worried about damage since I have to exchange my note 7 still
my biggest worry is skin wraps don't cover the camera bump that protrudes
