Ok so i see several posts involving the Neo Hybrid but none with pictures with the phone in it, at least that i found. So i figured i would post with my thoughts and a few photos.
I personally love the Neo Hybrid case and have been a fan of the design since the first one i bought for my Note II. Its slim, doesn't add much bulk, and gives a bit of protection, though not a lot. It's easy to install and fits the phone perfectly, all the holes seem to line up nice and neat. I am using it with a MIME glass screen protector and it still fits over the edges without issue. Im unsure whether they will release just the frames or not, but if they do it makes changing the look of your case easy and inexpensive.
The only issues i have with the case are that it does make it even harder to get the USB cover open, the protection it adds isn't enough to protect from a decent fall, and the plastic buttons feel loose and rattle a bit.
A couple other things to note are that the case does add a small lip to protect the camera and Spigen did also put a taper in the rubber below the heart rate sensor to allow clearance so you could still use it. That being said, i have larger hands and still have a hard time getting a reading without fussing with the sensor quite a bit.
Thank you for the actual pic and content. The side view makes it look like a iPhone lol.
I just got my case today.
It does add a little bit of bulk to the phone.
Also, for the life of me, I can not get the charging cover off with the case on the phone.
The case looks great though, but I think the above points are going to be a deal killer for me. It's too bad, as I really like how the case looks (I got the red border).
I should be getting a cheap ebay TPU case tomorrow to try out. Hopefully will be slimmer and allow the charging cover to be opened easier.
I've had a few cases so far. Ringke Flex and the Spigen Neo Hybrid.
I had the Spigen the longest, for maybe a month. It looks great, but the square design gets to be very uncomfortable and hard to reach areas of the phone while in use. The buttons are incredibly responsive. Which is a plus for casual use, not a plus when you don't want them to be as responsive, either in pocket or using as a camera. The Ringke Flex I had for a week. The case is a very nice fit, but the buttons are almost rock hard to push, the back is slippery due to an odd design, and the case still adds an extended bulk which is kind of strange.
My prior phone was a Galaxy Nexus, and had a Diztronic case after following up on great Amazon reviews. For whatever reason, I thought I would get something more visually appealing and fancy for this device.

In the end, I just went back to where I started. Unless you are one of those people who enjoy having a very bulky case (Lifeproof/Otter) for max protection, the Diztronic TPU case is a very nice slim fit, has the best matte finish I've seen for people with sweaty hands or just enjoy a better grip, and the phone physically still looks very appealing. The buttons are also the most tactile and responsive I've seen on the cases to date. Anyone looking for something minimalistic, but has some protection which is not over the top, you can do far worse then spending $10 on this case. Cannot recommend enough.
*Unfortunately tried to take photos, but my best camera is the one on the S5!
you think it would fit the OEM wireless back cover?

Technically, it does not fit the OEM wireless cover. However, I used a heat gun to stretch mine out, and the fit is OK, though not perfect. You can still see a little bit of the silver on the sides of the phone. The volume and power buttons work fine. I've been using the case now for over a week and there are no functionality issues.
Not familiar with the other backing myself. Like the other poster mentioned, it's a nice tight fit, so some finagling may be required to get it to work.

I agree. I had the Diztronic on my Nexus and the S5 case is even nicer. If you want something that will give a measure of protection without putting your phone in a hermetically sealed pickle jar, Diztronic is the answer.
Thanks guys! I don't come on XDA as often as I used to, but I was browsing the accessory thread this morning to do some research as to the demand of a case that will work with the wireless charging door. Nice start to my morning to find this thread!
It sounds like quite a few people want a case that will work with the official samsung charging door and their S5. I didn't make it before as my thinking was can't they just put a Qi receiver pad under their stock door and use any case they want? I guess the problem with that is it won't seal tight enough to keep water out. So a case that fits the wireless door is needed.
I'll think it over today. But I think there is a good chance well make a new case specifically for the wireless charging door. I'll post an update on our website if we do.
I would buy one. Already own diztronic case for s5 and s2. I think many of us would prefer a matte front (same finish as the back). The shiny black plastic all consumer electronic manufacturers are using looks cheap with reflections, scratches, and fingerprints.
Samsung should have included wireless charging in the s5 along with a magnetic charging port like the Nexus 10 pogo, and front speakers. Instead we have a worthless heart rate sensor.
We could try a matte front, I just don't think it looks as nice against the glossy screen. In my opinion the glossy lip blends better next to the display, almost like you don't even have a case on. Unlike our competitors that have recently started offering similar style cases as ours, only our front lip is glossy. Their cases the entire top half is glossy, similar to our old S2 case.
The S5 wireless charging door case could be a good model to test full matte on though.

you could always get this it wirelessly charges through the case just fine using it on my S5 with the neo hybrid case just fine. as for keeping the water protection it seems to work just fine put my phone in the fishtank for 25 mins with no issues to test it.

That's not a TPU case. It contains TPU on the inside, buts it's a dual layer two piece case with a polycarbonate shell. it's basically exactly the same as our Reactor case for the GS5. It's a fine case, but personally I don't like dual layer cases on my phone. Too bulky. According to that page you linked it weighs 5 ounces! That's a tank compared to a 21g TPU case. It's a totally different class of product then a traditional single layer TPU case. It also does appear to "borrow" heavily from UAGs design. I really hate it when companies do that, but it is what it is, happens in every industry.

I prefer to think of it as the screen protectors not being compatible with cases I think it's far more common for someone to only have a case than to only have a screen protector. The vast majority of people using screen protectors will also use a case. However many use a case but no screen protector. Given that, companies that make screen protectors should do a better job making sure their products can be used with a case.
To answer your question (somewhat) , I used a tempered glass SP on my old S4 and one of our cases. It was a bit of a stretch, but after a day or two it fit well enough. I haven't tested it on an S5 however. We are going to start adding a small amount of depth to our cases in the future, likely 0.25mm to better accommodate thick screen protectors. We have to be careful that the case still fits well for those that don't use screen protectors. The new OnePlus One is the first case well be testing this on.
Ive had this case for my S3. Wonderful case and great price.
Unfortunately, they dont ship to the Netherlands. I really want this one
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Poetic offered me to review their case, and they sent me one completely free. I want to thank them first for this kind offer.
To begin with design;
Quality of material is really good.
It looks great :good:. Compared to the other armor cases i saw, Revolution has a cool and better looking design for sure. It does not make your phone like old army satellite phones like others.
Cuts are precisely aligned. It has cuts for both mics on top and bottom.
The stand on the back offers great functionality , also adds a good-looking detail to back side.
It offers a better grip on the phone.
Field of profession: Protection
Nothing much to say really. For sure one of the best. Case feels really solid.
Also has dust protection caps on usb and headphone ports. It really gives you confidence about drop protection. I feel like a dont need do worry about dust or dropping my phone anymore.
Cons:
As a natural downside of this high protection, phone feels a little bit bigger and thicker.
I think it is hard to put the phone to the case and back off(Maybe there is an easier way than I did). But if you need this kind of protection I guess you dont need to do it often.
To conclude:
It is one of the best cases offering that much protection also with an elegant design. Feels solid and durable, no worries about dropping. If you need that much protection, I would definately recommend that.
As a results I give this product 9/10.

I'm pretty sure this is the ugliest design possible. Wouldn't put it on my phone if they paid me.
It seems too big to be good for daily use

Protection vs Convenience!
I got one too for the review! Here's my list of pros & cons:-
Pros:-
- Protection
When they say protective case, I didn't realize they literally meant every letter of it! This shell is so damn hard, I can beat the **** out of a mugger if it ever comes to that. I'm pretty sure even if I drop the phone on the ground from the first floor, nothing will happen to the phone unless the screen hits directly on some elevated object. So I'll give it a thumbs up on protection category. The case is damn solid! The brand also claims that the case is shock resistant, although I didn't get a chance to test it out myself (or may be I don't want to find that out). The case also covers the volume rocker and the power button with its own tactile buttons.
- Dust Resistant
Putting the case on is quite a challenge, however once done, it doesn't leave much space in-between the case and the phone itself. The USB Port and the 3.5mm Audio Jack has a dedicated pull-up flaps which are easy to open and close. So, overall, it has some dust protection too.
- Excellent Grip
The case is built with some reinforced TPU (or similar material) with texture on the sides which provides excellent gripping to the holding hand. Even if you drop it, doesn't look like it's gonna make any difference anyway!
- Built-in Kickstand
Not just the case, even the built in kickstand is made of metal and it definitely feels solid unlike some lousy kickstands which come with many other cheap cases. So you have the power kick it out and enjoy movies/videos (or games if you use a gamepad) anywhere you want.
Cons:-
- Size
Huge! That's what it is. Edge+ is already hard for some to handle it with one hand but putting this cover on, it becomes almost impossible for them to operate with one hand. It widens the phone by atleast 1.5-2 cms.
- Weight
With power comes responsibility. Similarly, with protection comes additional bulkiness! At 90 grams (3.2 ounce) this is the heaviest case I've ever used. At 153 grams ( 5.4 ounce), Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ is one of the slimmest and lightest phablets in the market and this case would put that to complete shame!
- Case On/Off
With my Gear VR, I need to take off my phone's case every now and then! With this case, that's not happening. It took me almost 15 minutes (first time and the only time) to put this case on. Trust me, it's damn hard to pull out the frame ( the plastic bumper) from inside the case and putting the phone inside is even harder! Though once done, it's definitely protected! Now, taking off the case is another challenge!
- Buttons
Due to this reinforced TPU material, the buttons on the case are a bit harder than usual. So you might have to use some extra strength when you want to access the power button or volume key, you still get the tactile feedback though!
The Final Verdict
If you work in a harsh environment and your sole purpose of a case is protection of the phone, this case is definitely for you. But if you hands are short or you like keeping your phone in your jeans pocket or you want to show off how cool is that edge display of your phone, this case isn't for you! Check out the HD images for a better view!
First I would like to thank Poetic for sending me a free sample to do a review of it.
I received Poetic Revolution case one week ago and I decided to test it for a while before I write a review.
At the first sight I was astonished by a quality of a case, I have never seen case with more details before. I really like its millitary look. I love how all holes are precisely cut out. They are covered with a dust protectors which is really nice. When you hold your phone in this case you are completely sure iz will not slip out of your hands.
I found metal stand really useful especially when I watch movies, have video conversation with my girlfriend or when I cook lunch and cannot hold my phone.
When It comes to protection I am sure it will prevent my phone of taking damage. My son dropped phone on the floor two times and phone survived just very well without cracking.
Cons:
- It is a little bit too bulky (but it is ok as protection is its main role)
- There should be screen protector intergrated in this case
- Every time I insert charger I am afraid to scratch bottom of my phone.
Overall I am keen on this case because it gives best protection to my phone. I love how nice it looks on my phone.
If you want highest level of protection for you smartphone you shoud definitely give it a try:
http://www.amazon.com/Revolution-Protective-Landscape-Absorption-Resistant/dp/B013A1JEI4
I received the Poetic Revolution case as well about a week ago. I wanted to give it a weeks worth of use before giving a review.
Pros
(1) Very well built. This thing is rock solid and the tolerances are super tight. This keeps out the dust and offers great protection from falls.
(2) Great Design... The overall aesthetics of this case are great. You can tell a lot of detail went into designing this case. It's funny to mention but I found the integrated backplate (blue plate) on the inside of the case to be impressive how it's molded into the rest of the case.
(3) It's awesome that they included a kickstand. I miss the days of old when phones had kickstands built into them, but this is a great alternative option since the newer phones don't have the kickstands anymore.
As far as CONS go.... there really aren't any that I could find. I did have a couple annoyances that I'll list below but these are subjective of my own opinion and shouldn't be viewed as a flaw in the design or a need to change it in any way, just a couple suggestions that would make "myself" like the case even more...
(1) Not a fan of the caribeaner loop... I get why it's there, and could be useful to some, but I feel like I'd just want to get some snips and cut it off... I wear baggy pants and can still fit this big case/phone in my pocket, however that caribeaner loop would catch on my jeans and just constantly annoy me. A minor hindrance, but I'd prefer it without the loop.
(2) I noticed the kickstand would "tap" against the backside of the case. This would be a little annoying were there any vibrations going on. For instance when my phone is in my car dock stand, the vibrations from the car/road would make this rattle ever so slightly. My suggestion, integrate some sort of rubber/silicon surface just under where the kickstand meets the backside of the case.
Final thoughts....
This is a great case that would definitely protect your phone had you dropped it, or are in a harsh environment. The design is eye-catching and worthy of the newer era of smartphone cases. The kickstand feature is a definite plus, and even though I am not a fan of it, I could see how the caribeaner loop would be useful for the outdoorsman or a construction worker.
I received my Revolution case from Poetic over the holidays (thank you guys).
The first thing that I noticed was the build quality!! It's amazing guys. You won't be banging up your phone with this case protecting it!!
All of the cut outs are very precise. The case has dust flaps to cover the charger and ear phones sockets. The case is a two part case that you take the rubber inner out and after fitting the phone into it then you put the outer tougher part on. It does add a little size to the phone but it's going to protect it from and mishaps. After all...protecting a phone that costs more than most gadgets out there is the main thing. I have used it now for a couple of weeks and I must say that when you buy a Poetic Case you're buying the best.
I am a proud owner of two different cases from Poetic and I promise you that one you try you will always buy from them.
I only found one slight hindrance and that's the kickstand. After a day or two it seems have become a little loose and taps and rattles. I just placed a tiny piece of blue tac under it to keep it closed.
Please try these cases from Poetic guys...I really speak highly enough!!!

I have been using the Poetic Revolution case on my gold Galaxy S6 Edge+ for about a week and a half
now. Here are my thoughts.
When looking for a rugged case, the Poetic Revolution marks off every box, and then some. This is one
of the best, and toughest cases I have ever seen. When not at work, I need a case like this for my phone.
Hiking, camping, car shows, at the lake, my kids and I are always outside. I have 2 young sons, with this
case on, I am not concerned if they grab my phone and throw it around. I have an 85 pound puppy that likes to chew. Thankfully he has never gotten a hold of my phone, but I feel confident this case would protect it.
When receiving this case, I thought it was going to be all black, but it was not. It is black with very dark
brown accents. I personally liked this as it makes the case stand out more, but in a subtle way. I also
think it makes the case look really good with my gold phone. I also really like having the port covers.
While out on the sand rails and quads out in the desert, they keep the dirt out. When you are at home
with your phone on the counter, they can keep them covered long enough for you to save your phone
should something get spilled.
I have seen where some people have said that this case is very difficult to take on and off, however, I
do not feel that way. Is it more difficult than just a thin snap on case? Of course, but I have no concern
that this case is coming off my phone if it gets dropped. I have used cases that go on and off in the same
way in the past, and I prefer them. The way it’s made, it is thinner than an Otterbox type case, but in my
opinion stronger because you don’t have 2 plastic pieces snapping together.
The kickstand on this case is also among the best I've seen. In my experience, most kick stands are
made from a cheap material, or even if they aren’t, they pop out of the case so easily the little nubs that
are used to snap it into place break. Not here, where it is very tactile in extending it to use it, but it will not pop out of the case on you. One other benefit is that I have been able use it both horizontally and vertically.
When it comes to the loop at the top, I could go either way. I would be happy with a case that did not have it, but I think it could also be more useful with some minor improvements. If I am just hiking, I feel confident when hooking it to my backpack. However, when out riding in the desert, I do not feel that it is strong enough to hook on to my keys or someplace similar. If it kept the loop, I would use it more if it were reinforced with a harder material. Either way, I think this was a good idea to separate their case from others.
Though I was pretty sure they would not work, I did test both wireless charging and Android Pay (NFC) with this case on, and neither worked. This was not a big deal for me as I do not use Android Pay much, and I only wirelessly charge at work, where I can just take the phone out of the case if need be.
This case was provided to me by Poetic for my honest opinions. For the price of this case (currently $19.95 on Amazon), it is superior to cases costing twice as much. Though this is my first Poetic case, it will not be my last. I was so impressed with this case that I recently purchased a Poetic case for my Galaxy Tab A after the old case was chewed by above mentioned puppy.
Looking great will definitely try it soon.

Disclaimer: I received this product for free in exchange for an unbiased review.
I received a Diztronic Voyeur Series case for the Nexus 6P and after using it for approximately two weeks, I wanted to share my thoughts.
PACKAGING:
The voyeur case arrived in a brown Diztronic box. Not too much to be impressed with, but the box held the product nicely. Inside the box, Diztronic bubble wrapped their case for extra protection during shipping. Once I opened the box and unwrapped the bubble wrap, there were a total of 3 protective films over my case. One film coated the clear plastic on the inside and was a bit of a hassle to get off. At first, I thought there was just one film on the outside which removed very easily. I used the case for a week, but I received several scratches all over the back of the clear backing. I reached out to support and they immediately responded to my photos of the scratches with a simple solution: I still had another clear film on the outside of the clear backing. I felt like a complete idiot, and once I removed this THIRD protective film, all scratches disappeared. The case felt better after all protective films were removed. In all, packaging was great, but could have been better with instructions since there were so many protective films on the case that others like myself may not expect.
FIT:
My 6P slid right inside the case. The case fits perfectly. Not too tight and not loose at all. The case feels solid on the phone and great in hand. All cut outs are awesome. The headphone and USB-C cutouts are both square, and I have not had an issue with either. The volume buttons are covered together and marked with a plus and minus sign. The power button is also covered but has the standard power symbol on the button. I have had ZERO issues with the buttons. The buttons are great and clicky and after using other brands of cases, I prefer this Diztronic design. Down from the side buttons, there is a Diztronic brand imprint. It is not overly visible nor does it interfere with the nice design of the case. The front of the case does have a lip which is a necessity for me. On the back, the camera cutout is open for the lens, flash, autofocus, etc. Nothing crazy in terms of design here, just the usual oval cutout design. The fingerprint scanner cutout is perfect in my opinion and not too large like other companies. In my experience using the case, I did not have an issue finding the fingerprint cutout. The clear back is not as slippery as the phone naked and the case remains ultra slim. On the bottom of the back of the case, there are little legs which really makes this case stand out. These little legs on the back of the case help to keep your phone level when laying on its back. I am sure this also helps prevent scratching, but after using this case now, I still have no scratches or marks whatsoever which is amazing for a clear backed case. I have used other brands where the clear became foggy/scratched/or had other imperfections, but this is not the case with the new Voyeur series.
PROS:
- INCREDIBLE design for the price
- Completely scratch-free after using case for 2 weeks
- tiny legs on back of case keep phone flat
- extra slim case that offers great protection
- clicky and tactile button covers
- all cutouts aligned correctly
- BEAUTIFUL product!
CONS:
- You might have several protective films over the clear plastic back. If you have any scratches or marks, reach out to Diztronic support and they can help you!
FINAL THOUGHTS:
So should you spend your hard earned $11.95 on this case? ABSOLUTELY. On a scale of 1-10, I award this case with a SOLID 10. After I used a RhinoShield bumper for 2 weeks, and then a Poetic Affinity case for a month, this case is everything! The plastic will not scratch, and I feel like my phone is protected. I do not have to worry about any marks to my device and while protecting the device, I can show off my favorite 6P color: gold! If you prefer slim but protective cases, please give the Diztronic Voyeur Series a try. They have amazing customer support and their products focus on consumer feedback. :good:

Horrible back design.
It is a great case. I have it too. But the only issue is the device has play inside the case. Look at the fingerprint sensor and the hole cut out for the fingerprint sensor. It is always off,....never center like the spigen or the other distronic case.

My 6P does not have any play inside of the case at all. It fits like a glove. On the Poetic Affinity, my phone constantly shifted inside the case... I am not sure if you just got a lemon or if I got lucky lol. As far as the fingerprint cutout, its exactly centered as it should be. I just received Diztronic's latest revision though last month so I am not sure if that has anything to do with the fingerprint sensor cutout being more precise. I seriously cannot find anything off with my case.
I have both versions of the Affinity case and neither had any give inside. I do agree w/ joooe that this case's design isn't my cup of tea but I do love Diztronic cases. Used them for other devices. I've always loved the material Diztronic uses on their TPU cases. One thing I do not like about this case is the "legs" on the bottom. I've never liked those things on any smart device case. I guess you can consider that the Affinity cases have "legs" on them as well but the design makes it less obtrusive and part of the overall design instead of just jutting out on the corners.

oohh the legs are one of my favorite features of this Diztronic case. I think the design of this case is minimal and I really like the overall design. The tpu material feels great in hand.
On the subject of the Poetic case, I was completely disappointed. I even reached out to their support and they refused to even acknowledge that my case was no good. The case did not fit my 6P snug at all. I had probably 1-2 mm of extra space inside the case from the top of my 6p to the inside of the Affinity case. I could literally rock my phone back and forth inside the case. It was ridiculous. That was the last straw for me with Poetic. The first issue I had with the Affinity was that they mailed me the old design with all the logos all over it. I had to ask them to send me the revised model without the logos. Of course they did that, but would not replace the faulty case that now sits in my closet since I received this Voyeur case.
Yeah, I had the original design and when I learned of the new one, just emailed them and they sent me new one for free. I was very happy with the revised version and currently using it now. All of us just get lemons sometimes.

I am not try to start anything. But look at the fingerprint sensor and cut out in your first pic. The look at you second pic. It has moved to another position. It does move inside the case. I have this case.
And it moves inside the case. The grey and the blue you are dead on.

Maybe I a bad case. But, if you tap you phone to the side while case is on it, will it move? Mine does.

My fingerprint cutout looks off in this pic, but I can assure anyone wondering... It's perfectly centered.

I ditched Spigen's Ultra Hybrid for this, haven't been disappointed yet. I even removed my dbrand (carbon) skin and went naked, but I'm thinking to slap a leather/matte skin, loving the case.
i don't know why, but my back came scratched out of the box. I haven't scratched it myself, but the scratch it came with has bugged me a bit since i got it. aside from that, i didn't like the plastic back at first as it feels slippery if your hands ever sweat. but i got used to it, and i love this case. and i own a lot of cases LOL.

verus
all google cases
and many more amazon cases, until i got this one. the diztronic case was my last, and favorite case of all.
Someone mentioned that there's multiple protectors on the clear area so see if you need to peel those layers off
What's up everyone! Here for another case review, and this time it's the Vivid Arkansas & the Lazer by Artech21. I typically do not review two cases in the same thread, but these are from the same manufacturer and aren't too terribly different. I'm gonna throw up 2 links at the bottom for the photos because there are quite a few of them. So let's get right into it, shall we?
-Packaging & First Impressions-
The packaging for both cases is the same. Quite minimal with a couple thin cardboard inserts that you'd typically get with a phone case. Nothing too fancy here. The cases themselves are nearly identical except for the pattern imprint on the rubber inner layer. The case trim for both is identical and are interchangeable with these two cases specifically. Over all pretty good looking cases. However there wasn't much care with the cutouts. They are extremely precise and line up perfectly with the phone, but unfortunately still have some edge shavings attached. You can see what I mean in the photos by looking at the cutouts around the power button. To me this was a little careless and really could have been fixed in the factory pretty easily.
-Fit-
These cases go on and off pretty easily. Personally, I like that. It makes swapping them out fairly quick and you don't feel like you'll do harm to the phone while doing so. This for me is pretty huge. I reviewed a case by Poetic and absolutely love everything about the case, except when it's time to take it off or put it back on. With both of the cases from Artech21, they fit quite nice, except for the screen side of the phone. On the Vivid Arkansas, the right edge had gold from the phone showing through, and on the Lazer it was on both sides. So the 1st layer/rubber shell just doesn't have that uniform snug fit that you'd want with this device. I have to point out though that this is not true for all of their cases. A friend of mine has these same cases for his S7 Edge, and they fit quite perfectly on his phone.
-Feel-
Both of these cases feel great in the hand. There is enough grip on the device to prevent it from slipping. The cutout that was used for the power button is pretty nice too. It has a sloped cut on the edge so your finger almost feels like it belongs there when pushing the power button or using the fingerprint scanner. I can't stress enough how much I like that cutout and how it was done. Great job on that one Artech21! The buttons on the case look like they would stick out, but they really don't all that much. You can still find them blindly pretty easy, so it's not terrible. Over all, not bad.
-Final Thoughts-
Personally, I'd give both cases a 7/10. They still need some fine tuning on some basic cosmetics, but all around are still a good case option to keep your phone safe. They come in many different accent colors, and I think Artech21 did pretty well despite a few minor cosmetics. The case does not interfere with the wide angle lens at all and I think these cases should be given your consideration when looking for an inexpensive case. - Until next time...
