Spigen Neo Hybrid Aluminum Case Questions

I am considering getting the metal blue Aluminum Spigen Neo Hybrid case for my Note 4.
Has anyone experienced signal degradation due to the metal frame? Also anyone have this case and can provide pics on the phone? Looking for something slim, but also protective. I had the Neo Hybrid on my GS4 and was ok with it.

Just don't drop it. The aluminum will bend and look like hell thereafter.

I normally dont make a habit out of dropping my phone. With the Neo Hybrid on the GS4, you could buy replacement trim rings.

Well if you are just in it for looks and don't care about protection get it bro.

No signal loss on my end.... Loving the case so far!

Im in it for both. I dont want something thick and clunky like an otterbox, but want something that does offer protection.
From the looks of it the Spigen Neo Hybrid has the same cushion pockets in the corners that most of their cases have. The only real issue, like you stated, is that if you drop it 1 time on a hard surface the aluminum will bend and look janky from there on out.

Can someone post up some "Real" pictures of this case?

Wow, I didn't even know they made one for Note 4.

I didnt know this case was made out of aluminum.

Yes, but the quality of your picture leaves much to be desired. :silly: Is that the satin silver version?

I have been looking at this case and it would be cool to see some real world pictures and not the advertising ones.

Hopefully these pics work.

Nice, thanks.

Neo hybrid aluminum in the titanium color. Also own the verus iron shield while a good case not as quality built as the spigen case. It feels better in the hand thanks to the tapered edges. Its exactly the same size bulk wise as the plastic neo hybrid which i own as well. Buttons on this case feel AMAZING!! Feels like pressing the bare buttons. Very tactile. It has slightly more lay on the table lip on the front than the plastic neo hybrid. The same as the iron shield i would say. Loved my iron shiled but this one is even better fit and finish. Overall this case a win for sure. Only downside i think is installing it is a really tight fit. Harder to install than the plastic neo hybrid or iron shield.

Thanks for posting the pictures. This case is nice because it doesn't make the phone too thick. I'll definitely keep this in consideration!

Really like the Spigen but I'm guessing it will make it pretty wide for my tiny hands. But if I had to choose, I'd take Spigen over the Verus. Verus like 99% of the other case makers just cuts out one big hole for the camera and flash. I like how Spigen has 2 spererate cutouts. It's the little details...

So the case has microphone holes that align with the Verizon Note 4?

I had these cases, but recently switched to a non-aluminum case because if effected my GPS a lot. It was extremely difficult to get a lock. Not sure if it effected the signal because I never did a comparison, but the GPS comparison was night and day.

Ultra Thin Hard Case

Has anyone found something minimal like the Incipio Feather, the Spigen Exact-Fit Slim Case or the Case-Mate Barely There?

Yeah! There are a metric crapton listed on the first page here (including the Spigen): http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/accessories/available-nexus-6p-list-t3225377 =)

98% of those are TPU/silicone cases. I think the only hard shell case is a clear one that has the laser auto focus covered (not sure how that affects performance). Spigen only has TPU cases for it so far.

Unfortunately, neither of these seems as thin as the ones I referenced . . .I'll keep looking. Thanks.

I've ordered the Ringke Fusion case, Thanks for the recommendation ! it looks fantastic, and slim enough to not make the phone bulky

the Ringke fusion case says in the description, "Ultra-slim design with a perfect fit for all-around protection with minimal bulk. " looks like the ultra thin hard case the O.P. was looking for, not sure why OP didnt go with that one.

Don those cases really give much protection versus something like:

Because neither it nor any of the others are as minimal as I'm looking for. What I want is just a shell that protects the surface and has a raised lip to keep the screen from touching a surface. Not looking for something to protect more than minimally from a drop. The ones I listed are are like that.

Wish Ringke would make the Slim case for the 6P. Have it on my Nexus 5 since I bought it.

Hoping that Spigen releases their Thin Fit case or Ringke their Slim Fit. Both in Soft Feel/Matte black.
I prefer the Ringke as it covers all four sides while the Spigen leaves the top and bottom open.

Spigen came out with an Ultra Fit case (in clear) which I continue to use with my Nexus 5. Perhaps they'll come out with a 6P version in the next month or so. I may hedge my bets and get the Fusion or Ultra Clear to hold over for now.

I can't vouch for any of these and I'm not sure if they're exactly what you're after, but here are a few options I came across that might be worth looking into (difficult to tell materials on some, ship dates may suck, etc):
*Also not sure whether cutouts are up to date for laser AF or whether old renders are being used.

I ordered this one and am waiting for it to arrive along with the phone.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0168B7RIM/

Looks like the case is blocking the auto focus laser to the right of the flash

The first pics they had on Amazon didn't even match the back of the 6P.
Now they have updated pics that match, but like you said, looks like it blocks the laser focus. We'll see once it arrives.
I ordered black was supposed to arrive today, but they updated the shipping. Now it's scheduled to arrive Tue next week.
I went back to Amazon and they don't even list black anymore, just blue, red and gold.
If it blocks the laser focus, back it goes...on Amazon's dime of course.

I have the ringke slim for my lg g3 and I'm hoping they come out with one for the 6P. I really like how thin that case is.

I just received the Monoy one, and it feels nice and thin but it does block the AF... contacted customer service to see if they plan on fixing it.

Sitting back and waiting for a Bear Motion case. Adds so much grip and slim enough. I've never dropped a phone with a Bear Motion case on it.

How do you like the case? Does it fit well? Do you use tempered glass? What make you choose Ringke over Spigen?
I am deciding between these two cases as well. Spigen has the black strip on the back fully exposed while Ringke has cut out for the camera and flesh only. I might choose Ringke just because I can use a lanyard. Spigen looks nicer though.

+1 I hope they do soon. It's the only case I've been using since the N4, then N5, iPhone 6s. I noticed that on the latest ones there's an edge above the screen that I don't like, supposedly so you can put your phone face down and not scratch the screen. I never do, so I'd rather not feel that raised edge when I swipe.

Review- Poetic Affinity clear case came in..

Got my Poetic Affinity clear case a few days ago and so far I am loving it. The material is durable and the design looks sweet, finally a strong clear case. The volume and power buttons are easy to access and feel good to press. My favorite thing about this case is the rubber material around the front lip make it easy to grab. The power slot and head phone jack are all easy to get to as well and lined up well. I am coming from a diztronic case to this which I loved but the Poetic Affinity clear case is a tad bit bulkier but better protects your phone. I plan to keep this as a daily I just hope it does not turn yellow like most clear cases after a while of use.
GREAT job to the creators......

Tony,
I have the affinity case as well and I love it with my bamboo backing. Do you have a car mount that you use for this case that you recommend? Has anyone used a pro-clip universal mount with this case?

Good Review. The Poetic ppl are very nice. And they make a great case. Can't beat a clear case, built in bumper, not too bulky AT ALL. If I had to pick one negative, its the scratches on the plastic. It's not super visible but somewhat noticeable. All in all, its my favorite case rn

My only concern with certain clear cases is the discoloration that they get over time from dirt and dark clothing. Are the ridges down the back and the edges a silicone-rubber material?

hi
may i ask where you found it ? it s not even on poetic site!!!
thx

My Incipio case has turned yellow/brownish after about a month and a half of use, do you know of a method to clean them?
I'm also considering switching over to this one, as the back is clear and has ridges for better grip.

How does this case compare to the ice uag case wish they made it for this phone and which one looks better in person the clear and black or all clear?

Got mine few days ago and can tell that this is the best case i have ever used in any of my devices.

Totally agree with you, it does indeed scratches easily, but the way the case looks and the protection its totally worth it

Best pixel XL case - exactly like nexus 6p supcase beetle

I just received this case today from an Amazon order. This case is a replica of the supcase Beetle from the Nexus 6p. It is an awesome case that has a mostly clear back with thick bumpers on the top and bottom portion of the phone. It is thin along the left and right edges of the phone. My search for a case has ended.

Suggest me a cool back cover/bumper

Hey guys
It's been quite a long time I'm having honor 8. All this i have used the same silicon case, which is weird and dirty now. I really hate it now. In Saudi it's quite hard to get any honor accessories. And on the internet we just see small reviews from the buyers(useless).
So, I'm asking you to suggest me a cool case/bumper and if you already have one of yours, then please upload a picture of it.(full screen covering tempred glass too, if you have). I would really love to see.
??

I bought this a few months ago for $0.99, and it really doesn't get better than this. Simple and classy, black matte finish so it doesn't turn yellow or collect lint from your pocket.

Yeah, it's classic. Would you mind to uploading a picture of your phone with it?

I had a slim dark blue matte gel cover to go with the phone, but then I found this, which is the best I've found.

i bought myself a front-and-back foil for the honor 8 and to protect it i got this metal-frame: http://amzn.to/2wBipeh
imo i dont lose any design and a dont waste free space in my pocket.

Browse Ruilean cases. They always serve good ones.

I just got this - I had a slim blue tpu get one, and I had the leather effect one i posted previously, but this is slim, very good fit, very nice feel.
