I meant a bit loose, ie nothing serious. I guess there´s nothing we can do about it because it was made for the korean version of the galaxy s2 which is a bit thicker.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MamomaN:
anyone else having any problem of any kind in Neo hybird ??

i ordered it already and waiting for it

i don't know why those problem appears after i ordered it :o

i am having already Case-mate tough .. and i don't know if it's wise action to order Neo Hybrid or not !
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dan80210:
Why would the silicon part develop a sticky type of texture? that doesn't make sense.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tietherope:
There is a thin layer of matte/non sticky coating on the case. It rubs off very easily on the corners from putting it in pockets and such and underneath that there is a sticky/darker black silicone material.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] superleeds27:
Anyone using the silke one?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] scarmona:
I am. Soft thin silicone, adds little thickness and has a good fit. When you want to wipe the screen, the edges shift a little, but it's not a big deal.

Easy to install and to remove (which I do a lot since I dock it in my car and nightstand)

Hope this helps.

Worth the £18 it costs?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] scarmona:
Well, it depends on how much you care for protecting your phone adequately. I am a gadget geek and I am quite obsessed in shielding my investment from falls and scratches (I own an Ultra Silke AND Ultra Capsule)

It's a very well made case, fits like a glove and you can tell the material is high quality.

So, in my opinion... YES :)

[Galaxy S II Accessories] superleeds27:
Opted for the Silke one. The inclusion of a screen protector kind of swung it for me ;)

£16.99 delivered off ebay (Case-Addicts)

See how it goes! :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] KennyLegend:
None. Got mine today in soul black. I'm very happy. It fits very well Andrew steinhell screen protector that comes with it works very we'll.

Been using my SGP Neo Hybrid for almost a month now. It heats up sometimes, but I've no problems with the silicone become saggy so far.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] superleeds27:
Silke came today. Not a bad case tbh. Not sure about the lips over the edge of the screen though. Maybe just ned to get use to it.

Was thinking about the Neo Hybrid, basically gives it that original case look with the plastic outing.

Anyone here gone from Silke to Neo Hybrid? or whatever?

I've had my Neo Hybrid case for 2 months now. And the silicone around the camera has started to sag alot. It's annoying me a fair bit actually. I'm prob gonna buy a new one soon.

I'll post photos of it soon
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tyrol:
Woah, seriously? Hmm I'll continue monitoring mine and update at the 2 month mark or when it sags, whichever is earlier. If you don't mind me asking, do you remove your case often? 'Cause I don't, so that could be what's causing the sag (somehow...)?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] demoguy:
I'm about to order the Neo Hybrid case (in white), but the comments about the silicone sagging & other issues you guys are having bothers me.. is it worth dropping $30 on this case? I'm gonna be using it long term.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Disfected:
I have the white neo hybrid and mine did start sagging after awhile, around the camera. I ordered the white Ultra Capsule afterwards and was more impressed by it than my neo hybrid ever did lol.

SGP Case

I was wondering is there a name call ice cream case for SGP? there are so many, i cannot figure out the difference...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] keyzjh:
I have my Hybrid for about a month now, didn't notice much sagging, if there's any at all.

However, this may be due to the underclocking of the device. I've capped max freq at 800MHz, when I use 1200MHz I do realize the phone gets heat up by quite a big difference compared to 800.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] lifeshoutslive:
I've had a SGP Glass and a Neo Hybrid for about a month now. Where I'm completely in love with the glass, I'm no fan of the Neo Hybrid.

The silicone-part which covers the front always moves under the sides of the glass, so there's no constant flawless-look (I have to push it back all the time), while the back doesn't fit perfectly anymore, especially around the camera.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] demoguy:
Alright, thanks guys, I'll probably stay away from the Neo Hybryd then. What a shame it's not higher quality, it looks great. :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tyrol:
Personally, I've had no issues with my Neo Hybrid. Love the colours (I got Dante Red and Soul Black) and the protection that the case offers. Also a fan of the fact that it doesn't pick up lint at all! I threw both my Otterbox and Neo Hybrid (iTouch 4 & SGS2 respectively) in the same pocket of my bag and my Otterbox came out covered with stuff but my Neo Hybrid was pretty much clean. Only gripe I have is the hole at the upper right corner but other than that, I'm satisfied with the quality of the case.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eranyanay:
Thats good to hear.

I really liked the yellow version of neohybrid, and couldnt find anything cooler than that...

So I decided to get over the hole for the antenna and order it.

Other options such as the incipio NGP are just too...regular.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] koreanstyle:
simly like it ! i like the liner one the best. anyone who know where get the best deal?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sabrateur:
I have been using the yellow hybrid for about a week now. Absolutely loving it. My colleagues have been commenting on how it made the SGS2 look like a 'Transformers' phone. I guess they meant the black and yellow combination made it look like Bumblebee.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] blossom:
My neo hybrid yellow just save my sgs2 twice today.

First, when my son threw it from bed to the floor.

Second, i drop it myself when i opened a drawer.

Glad everything is still in 100% condition, and the nice appearance of this neo hybrid is just a bonus.

Has anyone used Gariz leather case for S2 .?

Hwz it .?? :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cez10:
damn I cant decide which case to get dont wanna spend like 30 quid for the case mate one, this one for the 18quid seems very nice but if after few weeks/months the sillicone will be sagy or something then no point buying a new case every few weeks/months :/
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sl8125:
Can the Neo hybrid used as a bumper? Does the back pop out? I have just ordered the 2000ma battery and wondering if it will fit. Thx in advance.

Thank you for this funny review. :D

Where you bought the case and droids?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LuffyPSP:
hehe thanks! thought no one would like it. its a review for my own actually but i decided to upload it anyway.

I bought from a seller in my country, Malaysia. He imported them as here its difficult to buy from the official site or from sites like Amazon, etc. all from the same seller.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] abhi021:
I received mine SGP Glass shield couple of days back along with Neo hybrid case white. Installed it Just fine. Glass is fitted just about half or one mm towards the right but alignment is fine. After installing the glass I waited about 10 mins or so and than played around with Asphalt 6 game in order the warm the device a bit so that the adhesive on glass dries up and stick nicely to the screen. Found no issue with sensitivity even with Chainfire Kh3 kernal. Tried Ragemod u1.1b and no issues at all. Back button working fine so far.

Shifted to Ninphetamine 2.1.3 kernal and it definitely works much smoother than the rest. Also like to mentioned the fit of the rubber around the glass wasn't so good found it bit loose. So double folded the plastic wrap than came on the SGP Glass shield and placed it behind the back cover, put the cover on and the fit got better, nice and tight.

Looks Gorgeous.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] snitchy:
Nah i don't take my case off that much. I play a lot of games so the battery would heat up a fair bit, so I'm guessing the heat warped the silicone.

So recommend, if u're gonna play any games that heat the battery, remove the case first.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cez10:
Just received an email from sgp about this issue, heres what they said

So i guess guys if you have a saggy Neo Hybrid, send it off for a replacement :) perhaps after xxxxx replacements they will change the material to a better one :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] snitchy:
I got mine off ebay, doubt i'll be able to get a replacement without a receipt.

I'm hunting for a different case atm. Neo Hybrid has failed imo.

Here are some pics of the silicone sagging. Kinda hard to see, but you can just make out the edge of the camera and the height of the silicone. The height peaks at 3mm.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ugamshah:
hey nice video... can u please tell me which is the matt screen proctector u have been using.. thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] superleeds27:
Anyone tried the Neo Hybrid EX.

Think the main difference is it doesnt have the silicone covering the back battry cover.

Does this meaning, it doesnt have that extra protection around the camera?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bimmerboii:
It will fit but not perfect. The rubber at the back will sag at the camera area. Just order the Neo Hybrid EX

[Galaxy S II Accessories] ecejmpe:
Can you please provide some more details about the "trick" of the folded plastic wrap?

I am planning to do it as you did, but I am not sure how to fold the plastic and what part of the cover shall I put in.

Any help or pictures would be highly appreciated ;-)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] superleeds27:
Yeah, i would also like to her about this.

Anyone else using the Neo Hybrid who has a squeaking noise when you touch the bottom of the phone at the back?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ogxku5h:
Got the neo hybrid and I love it :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] m0rtiis:
Yes. If you have the phone in your pocket for an hour or two there is a definite squeak if you push the back of the phone while thumbing it. However, I've experienced this with all cases except ones with screws, so..

Just received my SGP NeoHybrid today

ok it looks good , but wait , where is the protection ?!

the plastic is very fuc** weak , really WTF

is that very weak plastic supposed to protect my +810$ device ?

are you kidding me ? :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MrDerrickC:
My Neo Hybrid broke last night :(

Snapped where the power button is. However I like the case and bought another one today from the local store. Now that I have a new one I plan to cut the back of the rubber from the old one and see what it is like. I have the 2000mah battery and this could end up being the Neo Hybrid EX after I'm done with it :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] zainqaiser:
I was so confused between neo hybrid ex's yellow and red color....then i pulled the trigger on red...lets hope red and black makes a good combination....anybody using neo hybrid ex??? Any comments....how is the case overall???
[Galaxy S II Accessories] abhi021:
Well it's no rocket science. I heard most of them put some paper between the silicon and the battery cover. I tried the paper but was not much of help. I first installed the glass the tried the cover on it. It worked fine however around the edges of the glass, found it not so tight. I though why not make use of the plastic film cover that came on the back of the glass as protection. Basically the new glass comes with plastic wrap on top which is a thin one and one at the back which is slightly thicker compared to the one on the top. I took the one that cam on the bottom, cut it in the size of the battery cover ( slightly smaller cut ) basically cutting the plastic wrap in 2 half horizontally and placed both pieces behind the battery and put the silicon on with the bumper.

The fit improved little better than what it was and am quite happy with it.

Will post the pic with detail soon.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] enzoscotch:
are the only one having difficulty removing the linear case? I already broke one of the tabs
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
I have both an Otterbox Commuter and recently received my Neo Hybrid. They both have their place, and each does things differently, and offer different degrees of protection. Here's a quick synopsis, I can add side by side photos later on for those who are interested in seeing how they compare to each other physically.

Otterbox Cost $35 CDN (~35 USD)

Pros:

-nearly complete protection

-big, but not HUGE so it feels like you're holding an HTC Sensation, et al

-feels secure in your hand, i.e. it doesn't constantly feel like the phone is ready to jump out of your hand when you're not paying attention

-covers for the head phone jack, and charging ports

-stays on securly

-thick, high quality silicone that's raised well above screen level

-quality is excellent

-plastic on sides of phone is textured, better grip, no scratching

Middle Ground:

-Looks like a cold war era tank (pro and/or con)

-button action is heavier (pro and/or con)

Cons:

-it's not the easiest case to install and remove (see Pro: stays on securely!)

-the silicone is a super magnet for whatever macroscopic particulate matter that lives in your pocket

-you lose that amazing slimness the SGSII is noted for

-because the silicone covers the ear piece, with cutouts for the ear piece, optical sensor, and camera, it's much easier to fool the optical sensor into dimming the screen because of a misplaced thumb if you're viewing in landscape mode

-without fail when removing it from my pocket a port cover would open, not the end of the world, just means I have to close it again, the silicone just tends to get hung up on your pocket

-back of case scratches easily (smooth plastic)

Neo Hybrid $27 USD (+ shipping, + extra screen protectors):

Pros:

-Slim and lightweight

-Feels good in the hand and the pocket

-easy install/uninstall

-light button action

-looks good

-quality seems good to very good

-doesn't attract every piece of dust/dirt/fluff/scum that lives in your pocket

-back of phone won't scuff/scratch as easily as the back of the Otterbox, rubber of Neo vs. plastic of Otter

Middle Ground:

-here's the trade off, because of its size it can't possibly offer the same degree of protection as the Otterbox

Cons:

-price, expensive for what you get when you compare it to the Otterbox

-no port covers

-the plastic is smoother than the textured plastic on the sides of the Otterbox; your grip doesn't feel as absolutely secure

-feels looser over time (finite # of heat and removal cycles)

MY conclusion: I'm keeping both cases, each does it differently. The Otterbox offers ultimate protection (aside from the corners of the phone) but it's a trade off for size and bulk. The Neo Hybrid is much less bulky, but doesn't offer the same degree of protection. For me the Neo is a better "daily carry" type case, I'll install the Otterbox when I'm working in the middle of nowhere Africa, or wherever else they send me.

Sorry for the novella.

Also, consider ordering the SGP Ultra Optics screen protectors, easy to apply and look and feel good.

My Neo Hybrid in yellow just started getting the dreaded sag from the processor heat. I put in an order for the Neo Hybrid EX in black now and using my outer plastic piece from my original Neo Hybrid I will be able to switch between yellow and black as I wish.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] alstrike:
My SGP Neo Hybrid in yellow has started to come loose on the left side of the screen and below the camera.

I´m thinking about buying something else. Does anybody know the name of the Samsung brand that makes phone cases and such? I can´t remember it now...

EDIT: I got it now, it´s PLEOMAX.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
Bummer, I like my Neo Hybrid thus far, but NOT if I have to replace it often. I gave it a "good to very good" quality rating in my review because I was unsure of the quality of the rubber material.

How long do I have doc? :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] alstrike:
Mine´s lasted a month :eek:.

Received it on September 5th and today is October 8th.

You may start saying your goodbyes :D

EDIT: I´m getting this
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
That case looks great, but I dont like the absence of a shock absorbing material, alu doesn't excel at this. I do notice they refer to a "tape" of some sort; any idea what that's about?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] alstrike:
It´s a foamy tape

The embed feature doesn´t seem to work or I don´t have a clue how to do it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tyrol:
I 'fixed' the sag with some double-sided tape on the battery case, one strip down the middle of the back and some around the camera area. Looks and feels fine now, the tape comes off easily too. Despite the flaws, I have to say that the Neo Hybrid on Dante Red is still my favourite case.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] miketwn:
I bought the Neo Hybrid Ex (Silver) last night and Im loving it. It fits like a glove and looks nice.....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LollieLaurie:
I ordered the Neo Hybrid in Yellow and White from the International Store on Monday.

I'm in love with the case and I hope I can keep the heat down on my phone.

Now I live in Belgium and I urgently need the cases so I choose for Fedex priority international shipping which wasn't cheap and I didn't get an email yet that my order has shipped. I'm not very pleased with that!

I should have bought it on Amazon.co.uk they are way faster.

hi guys...anyone of you try to swap the frame of Neo Hybrid Ex with the one from Neo Hybrid? I just got myself a new Neo Hybrid Ex (silver) and tested it with my old Neo Hybrid (white). Turns out that the old frame doesn't fits as firm as the new frame on the new silicon. :( They have redesigned the frame as well? :confused:

SGP Anne Rossi series (Twilit)

Hi,

I really want to buy the SGP Anne Rossi cover (images attached) but I think it lacks access to the mini-usb on the phone for charging, can anyone confirm and/or suggest and alternative way to charge with the cover on? (other than opening the front flap :D)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stark_br:
The Neo Hybrid is just a bumper and the EX has a backpart protection too.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cold_reading:
The opposite ;) The Neo Hybrid EX is just a bumper, the normal Neo Hybrid has a back part protection.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] lost guy:
I've had a good read of this thread and noting the problems with the various cases and my own experience of the Neo Hybrid on the iPhone 4 (cracked, plus couldn't access headphone jack properly which is poor design for such an expensive item) I've gone with the Zenus Air Skin Monochrome (pic below, I can't link as I'm new!).

It adds a premium look to the phone and looks sleek with minimal bulk. The camera lens is protected. It is marginally above the bezel but I don't think it's high enough

protect the screen-- I've got a screen protector, so no problems there.

I can also confirm there is no echo nor do I sound distant on the phone as I've found with another case. Unfortunately this seems to be a common problem with some cases on this phone.

Very happy overall with an awesome looking case.

I've tested all of the screen protectors from SGP, Ultra Crystal is the best.

Oleophobic also good, but the touch isn't smooth as Ultra Crystal's.

Anti-Fingerprint is a complete joke, maybe the smoothest touch, but the screen quality is BAD - grainy as hell, not suitable for AMOLED screens.

I'm interested in SGP's Capsule case, any1 tried?

the most important thing for me is the look - the aluminum ones maybe protect the phone, but they're ugly as hell.

I want a thin case, but with all-around protection, not like the Case-mate Barely-there, any recommendations ?

p.s. sorry for my english.

First of all i think it's one of the case weaknesses because overtime the rubber do sag.. and it happens to the rest of the sgp hybrid series..

I've tried putting some layers of paper but it only makes it worst.. ill report tomorrow, if this cold water doesn't fix the sag, double tape should do the trick :D

Update: it's been on my refrigerator for a day and it doesn't seems to make it harder.. instead i got some weird fungi-like spots after i dry it :D easily cleaned though..
