please do :)

how does it feel in your hand? Is it easy to take it in and out of your pocket? Does it add noticeable thickness and weight to the device?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] theking_13:
Updated with pics!

And it feels great, best of any case I've owned thus far. Very easy, the TPU material is top notch and doesn't snag or attract lint.

And almost no weight, feels amazing to hold. My Speck Candyshell more weight and thickness than this, but the Neo Hybrid feels higher quality, doesn't get all scratched up, and the multiple bumper choices make it cool if you like to have different ones on hand.

Personally, the only other color I like is the "Reventon" yellow, as my school colors are blue and gold. Lmk if you have more questions. :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] denny_1986:
thanks dude for the update! Looks sweet on your white phone. I might get the same one. Couple more questions: Do you think it provides sufficient protection around the edges? In other words, is the material cushy enough to absorb a waist 4-5 feet drop? Second qs: is the lip around the screen cushy or hard?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddurandSGS3:
no lint?

for reals?

Its really the only thing thats kept me from buying this case. I thoguht it would be.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rams99:
Just got my white/black neo Hybrid. Wow what a case. Really thin case that's a 2 layer protection. The volume buttons and power button are good on my case. From what I read they revised the case. But overall I love the feel and grip of this case. Well made.

Just got mine off eBay. This thing is such a fake. . . . I paid 17 Bucks. Should of known it was bogus. Looks about the same, but fits very loosely and has slight differences from the OP's pics.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dkreventon:
Hello,

I am looking to order this case from ebay but I have﻿ a few questions.

I have read some reviews from users and found out that they complain about the very sesnsitive buttons. What do you think about this? You can read users' review here -> tiny.cc/sgp-neo

I have also found some on ebay for just about half price. tiny.cc/sgp-ebay I see that the seller has a lot of positive transaction ratings for that case so I don't think it may be fake.

Also, will the white part get dirty over time? like turn grey or something... Is the micro﻿ fiber cloth good for wiping the screen or is it just a cloth?﻿

One little problem I have with my current bumper is that the camera lenses is touching the surface I put my phone on, hope this won't happen with sgp case.

I've seen in a youtube video that is looks quite girlish (purple). Is the color fine for matching my blue galaxy s3? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_EL9A4Tz4o

Last but not least, is the case thin enough so﻿ it won't﻿ make the phone bulky? I had a galaxy nexus + sgp neo hybrid and it was great. The only problem was that the sillicone material expanded after a month and it was quite annoying, but it was very thin.

I wish that you can answer all my questions.

Thankyou for﻿ your time and nice review :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] theking_13:
I know!

I got compliments on it all day.

The material is TPU, so it doesn't feel "cushiony" like a silicone case would. However, it would survive a 4-5 foot drop. Hell, probably several. And its a hard lip. TOU cases are better in every way than silicone BTW. :)

Yup, no lint! The TPU, which is the blue part, doesn't attract lint like silicone does. Literally perfect. :)

You mean the gray and white one? SGP doesn't make it in black.

Sexy
[Galaxy S III Accessories] theking_13:
Yeah, that's the one I was gonna buy, but when I asked the seller if it was authentic TWICE, he never responded. Return it asap and get the official one. The screen protector is very high quality as well. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bruno Rodrigues:
Original one in e-bay?

Hello guys,

Nice case! Anyone has a tip about a serious seller on e-bay to where I can buy from? I don't want a fake one.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] theking_13:
@dkreventon

The buttons are sensitive, if you mean you don't have to jam your finger in to actually press it. I haven't had any issues with the phone waking up or anything similar.

Don't buy an SGP case from eBay, as they made a new batch that fixed the sensitive buttons issue from before, and you run the risk of getting a fake. That seller never replied to my question if the item is authentic, so I assume its not and would stay away.

Definitely won't get dirty. The TPU is dark blue so you can just wipe any smudge or mark away. Same with the white bumper part, as its polycarbonate. The microfiber cloth was pretty decent at wiping the screen, better than alot I've received but nothing special.

You won't have to worry about the camera lens, its safely inside the protection of the case. And I don't know what's wrong with the oversaturation of the colors in that guy's video, but the color perfectly matches the blue of the blue S3.

And yes, this case is a thin case, doesn't add much bulk to the phone, and is very light, so it doesn't add any weight either. This is TPU, so you won't have any problem with sagging and whatnot.

@Bruno Rodrigues

I recommend staying away from eBay for this product, as there are too many fakes, and usually you won't know the difference unless you have a real and a fake. I recommend Amazon if you want to go through an online retailer, but my personal preference would be to go to the actual SGP website.

Hope this helps you guys out, keep the questions coming!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rams99:
I got mine from ebay. The seller was spgstore1. And yes, it is authentic. I paid $26 for mine. Fit great, the buttons are a little sensitive but you can take a blade and cut some of the buttons to how you want them to feel on press. It's on another thread in here.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] theking_13:
That's SGP's company, but on eBay. Basically like buying from SGP themseleves. Thanks man, forgot about that. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Miyagi555:
just got the same case today guys. the material and the look is very nice. I have a problem with the power button though, it feels like im just pressing hard tpu. i actually bought two cases one neo hybrid and other neo hybrid lumi . The lumi feels alright but the regular hybrid power button is not good . I bought it straight from SGP so i thought it was the revised one but ill have to wait for a email reply. Other then that, this is the best looking case hands down. BTW: anyone whos thinking about this case and the UAG case, i love the UAG look and feel. UAG definitely protects more but isnt as refined looking. But the cutouts are PERFECT and all the buttons feel amazing!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rams99:
There's a thread in the accessories thread that someone posted. All you have to do is shave some of the inner button to your liking. The person said it works. I am going to try it out and let you know.

Can I have a link to sgpstore1 on ebay?

The case is currently out of stock on SGP Website and I can't find that username on ebay or google.

If I buy from ebay from sgp's store, do I have the option to ask for another one if it has issues with buttons, like I could be able to do with SGP website?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kevindd992002:
So what is the real verdict? Is the sensitive buttons problem already fixed or not?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Nihil_Morari:
I think I'm going to buy this case from amazon.it, hope I won't have any issue with the volume and power buttons.

Uhm its definitely in stock...

Fixed, I bought directly from SGP website and haven't had any issues.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
The new ones are updated. If you get a bad one they will replace it. Waiting on mine.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] -Maverick-:
I ordered mine from Amazon, I should have it Monday. Amazon is an official reseller so it will be genuine, hopefully by now they've replaced all old stock with button issues with the new revised ones.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mpetruzz:
I just got one from amazon on wend and it wasn't a new one. I had the issue of the buttons not fitting properly.

sent from my blue police box flying through time!!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] theking_13:
Another reason to buy straight from the manufacturer sometimes. :)

Contact SGP and ask them to replace it for you, their customer service is very good from what I've heard.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rams99:
I to had issues with the power button. I didn't want to send it back and have my phone exposed. So I just took a blade and trimmed some of the inside power button off and it works like a charm.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] theking_13:
When did you buy it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] otariq:
I did that too but it just messed up even more. No I have no feedback whatsoever when I press the power button and I have to press it really hard. Did u just shave that small rectangle down a bit or completely cut it off
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddurandSGS3:
put a pebble, small piece of plastic inside the button if you messed it up. it might make it work.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] otariq:
Ya I'm trying to find something that is as small as the piece I cut off lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kevindd992002:
How would one know if he's buying the one with the power button fixed or not?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] djalecazam:
How is the screen protector? I have 2 deep scratches on the front of my phone and am wondering how well you think the provided screen protector might handle hiding the scratches? Thanks

BTW the case looks dope.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rams99:
I trimmed just a tiny bit off of it not much. I knew if I trimmed more it would be hard to press. Now it's good.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mrpotato00:
Could be an awesome case only if they would fix the damn sensitive power button and the volume buttons being constantly pressed down by case. Still been waiting for my replacement for 2 weeks. :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] -Maverick-:
I'll take my chances, if it's the old one, I'll just shave the buttons down.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dkreventon:
It says in stock on SGP website, but when I try to add the white one to cart, it says out of stock. Only the other ones are in stock.

Oh, man. They also ask for 8$ for non US shipping. I really have to find sgp store on ebay.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elimenohpee:
Looks nice!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] theking_13:
Its very nice, its the Ultra and has a hardness of 4H so it doesn't get ruined by everything like the Nano. Which has a hardness of 2H.

It should cover everything up very nicely, and after the first hour of use, it gets smooth like the glass screen.

I don't have that issue, tell them you want to move to an Otterbox instead and see if that speeds up the process lol

Even if you have to shave a little, the case is still so nice. I get compliments on it everyday lol

Damn, I guess they only offer free shipping to the US. :?

Thanks man! Definitely sticking to SGP for a while. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kevindd992002:
How is the hard plastic that comes woth it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] theking_13:
Rigid enough to keep the case nicely together, but not so tight that you feel you'll snap it when taking the case on/off. Its pretty flexible.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kevindd992002:
Hmmm ok. I'm still undecided in choosing between the neo hybrid, dualpro, dualpro shinr or faxion :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] otariq:
The back of faxion scratches easily I'd stay away from it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kevindd992002:
Yup I'm also considering that as it is similar to the speck candyshell.

How about the dualpro shine? Is the back surface of that scrstch-prone as well?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Nihil_Morari:
Just got my blue-white cover. It's really a great cover, don't have any issue with the buttons (they're a bit too hard for now :rolleyes:) and the protection is super.

The only things I don't like is that it leaves visible the frame of the screen (while belkin covers it all), and it's not so good for me since it's a little ruined, but it doesn't matter ;)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] kevindd992002:
Can you rephrase this please? I'm sorry, I'm confused.

In other words: the cover is great, the buttons are a little hard to press for me. Forget the other things I've said.

I'm very concerned about the audio jack being too recessed for headphones, aux cables, etc. Have you had this problem? I've read in other threads and forums that this is a deal breaker...

Yeah maybe it's a little recessed but it still works perfectly.

Anyone know if it's possible to only order a replacement for the bumper/plastic part of the case? I dropped my phone today and the orange part snapped :(

I had a fat aux cable and it didn't fit all the way so now I'm using a slim one which works perfectly
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xraytedjim:
That sucks. At least it was the case and not your phone that broke! It did it's job! I would contact SGP and see what they can do for you:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] javelar:
I sent them an email but to ask when we'll be able to buy just the polycarbonate frame.. it's ridiculous that they don't sell it separately.

^That's true. Of course for the iPhone, its possible. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Captpt:
Anyone having any issues with the inner lining sagging after a while?? I have the same case for my Galaxy S2 and my inner liner started to sag just below the camera opening.. I have determined this was due to heat, when flashing and/or heavy use the back heats up right below the camera (I imagine its where the processor is) which caused the inner liner to expand and start to sag.. I did write Spigen about this issue and they were nice enough to send a replacement liner... Just wondering if this is a issue with the new case, also does the Galaxy S3 get as hot as the Galaxy S2 when working hard???

Either way I should receive my new Galaxy S3 on Monday and ordering the Neo Hybrid for it today, absolutely the nicest case out there plus I love how it adds VERY little bulk to the phone, just not sure if I'm going to go Yellow again or try another color which might go better with the Pebble Blue GS3..

Did you get the Sparkling Blue case? I want to order it but can't tell how deep the blue it's, different photos give different looks.. In some photos & vids I've checked out on youtube it looks like a nice deep blue and others makes it look like a light pastel blue?

Might sound like I'm nitpicking but there's nothing worse then receiving something that is not the color you thought/hoped it was...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Imatoasta:
OP in the last picture second from the right: is that a tpu case or a hard pc-type case? The lighter gray one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] javelar:
Had the same doubt.. so ordered the yellow :laugh: when SGP decide to sell just the frame will be looking to buy green grass and sparkling blue.. but apparently they don't want to make money..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ricktat:
Hmm... when will the white be back in stock. I would just order an Orange or Yellow if I knew we could get additional bumpers in the future.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twe69:
Anyone got a dock with this case as the one I ordered is not flexible enough to charge it with the case on, thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Captpt:
I know, I actually wrote them asking the same thing, decided on the white since I really can't tell what the blue looks like in hand...

I should note I want to get mine from Amazon(I have a credit/gift card there) and they have been Unavailable for a few days now, the silver lining in this is when they are back in stock it will be the corrected version(oversensitive power/volume buttons).

If I hear anything from them I'll post back
[Galaxy S III Accessories] otariq:
Their customer service blows they know the defect exists but still want me to send a video to prove it? I just ended up filing it down a bit
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ricktat:
long as they didn't say liar liar pants on fire you should be OK:cyclops:

I have one of these too but need to confirm something.

The soft part is it kind of purple? Mine has a soft tone of purple and i am trying to check if its a fake one or not...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ricktat:
I saw that Cretouch.com showed Infinity White as "in stock" They are listed as an authorized 3rd party reseller on Spigen's site. I placed the order and they sent me an email saying the product had been discontinued. I called to try and get clarification and they said Spigen told them it was discontinued.

I don't know if that meant the discontinued /old version we know about or what? either way they didn't want to take my money
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Captpt:
That's very strange.. I wonder if they are reworking these cases and releasing it as new/different version sometime in the future.. I guess I have to go up to my local AT&T Store and grab a decent case in the meantime.. I hate the ballistic case that came with it and hate not having a case on it even more :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] andy_d0:
Thanks for the review. I ended up ordering the yellow
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ricktat:
I went ahead and order the Yellow/Grey version. I want White/Grey that they don't make. So I will make my own later.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mediaeffects:
Mine is also a purplish tint, but still looks blue. I have a problem with it. I have the Neo White/Blue, but buttons for power and volume are very hard to press. Not easy at all. Does anyone else have this issue. Cutouts for camera are a little off. Has anyone done anything to their case to correct the button issues?

As of right now, I prefer my Diztronic matte blue. It is excellent and cutouts are exactly where they should be.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] beaver2233:
are you sure you bought a genuine sgp product? I bought a counterfeit/fake product (knowingly) and buttons are very hard to press.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mediaeffects:
Not so sure. The company I bought it from is out of San Diego, CA. All the packaging is correct. Looks very good for a fake, but could be. They offered a refund. I got it for $12.99. They claim it is authenic. Since you said yours was And had same issue, I'm gonna go with fake. NewEgg.com has it for $40. No way will I pay $40.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] beaver2233:
Yeah, only way you can tell - did you receive a sgp screen protector and an authentication code? if not its definitely a fake And yeah I'm in the same dilemma, getting a bit too expensive for $30+, definitely when the product has issues with button responsiveness.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mediaeffects:
Im looking at the packaging and it has a Spigen label with barcode and info like sales@spigen.com and an spg halogram seal as well. Plastic packaging is a think plastic. Came with 2 screen protectors. Not in the packaging. Gosh darn if this is a fake, they did an excellent job duplicating it. For $12.99, i ma be able to soften the rubber maybe or just get a refund

Sent you a PM with a link of some photos
[Galaxy S III Accessories] beaver2233:
if it didn't come with a separate little square card with an authentication code it is fake :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mediaeffects:
I guess it is a fake. No card or authentication code
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ricktat:
Can someone post pics of the fake and the packaging?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mediaeffects:
I believe ebay has a page that shows the fake packaging. Found it last night. One thing I've learned was to look for the 3D label on packaging. The fake will also have it , but it should have a gray bar on bottom of sticker that says something like authentic.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ricktat:
You can change them you just have to buy more than one.:cowboy:

Its like Otterbox doesn't advertise to mix and match. But you can Mix and match.

But it does say interchangeable from Lumi to Color series implying you need to buy both series.:eek:

still i've ordered one anyway just hope it's real

You don't need to read if you don't want to, no need to be a .. about it. Nowhere in this thread is a post confirming from SPG that they don't intend to (in a near future at least) sell the polycarbonate part separately, and actual was a user asking about an official answer since he wrote them an email and got no answer.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ricktat:
My Yellow gray came in and I was very disappointed. I order through Amazon SGP and the product was real but I thought it was fake. I put it on the phone and the power button was stuck like others had said.I put it on 5 different times with no help. The cut outs for the camera weren't perfect. The TPU is paper thin and looks like it would only provide scratch protection. The poly plastic piece is a little toy. It looked like something from the dollar store.

I printed my Amazon return label and sent it promptly back. It has the SGP code inside and the proper screen protector. I wish it was fake but it wasn't.

I wasn't expecting an Otterbox type case but I wasn't expecting a ebay $8 case either.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kaboosey:
Just got mine after reading reviews about this case. All I can say is that it is an awesome case!

Recommended for anyone who wanted a case with nice and sleek design. It also offers a little bit of protection.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Captpt:
I never did get a reply to my email I sent asking when they'd be in stock again at Amazon(White&Sparkling Blue) but their Facebook moderator answered me there stating they couldn't say when they will be restocking,, not much help there huh?? BUT I did see a lot of people *****ing about the buttons not working correctly even with the newest production cases,,

Giving up on this case until they correct the issues, picked up a very nice CaseMate POP in white and grey locally, works perfect and I like it even better then the POP case I had for my old GS2.. Definitely more protective then the NeoHybrid (Had both for my GS2).

VERY disappointed in Spigen AGAIN :crying:
