I have the hybrid crystal as well. its a nice feeling tpu thats flexible and adds very little bulk. the inside of the case has this small dot texture which feels nice.

the button feedback is good on both of these
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] ramk13:
Does anyone have a tempered glass screen protector recommendation to go along with the Neo Hybrid? One that won't interfere with the case fit over the edge of the face of the phone.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] mocsab:
I bought the Neo Hybrid on Amazon on Tuesday - It arrived today and looks awesome! Very tight fitting - it requires you install by puting the bottom in first followed up upper corners, one at a time - but it looks awesome and keeps the phone very thin while offering decent protection
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Congo123:
I can't decide between:

Neo Hybrid CC

http://www.spigen.com/brands/samsung/galaxy/galaxy-s6/galaxy-s6-case-neo-hybrid-cc.html

Ultrahybrid

http://www.spigen.com/brands/samsung/galaxy/galaxy-s6/galaxy-s6-case-ultra-hybrid.html
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Poetique:
Literally exactly the two cases I've been trying to make a decision on for a week now.

I would have had both being shipped in if Spigen had gotten their **** together when they were supposed to be on sale yesterday.

I did get the Neo Hybrid CC for $6.00 (just in a color I don't care for unfortunately) though just to see how the additional "lip" it had compared to the Ultra Hybrid will look, so from there I'll be able to make my decision next week after I have the device in hand but I'll at least have the temporary Neo Hybrid CC to protect it until I make my final decision.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] neotekz:
Just bougth the Neo Hybrid EX. i had this case for the nexus 4 and loved it. By far the best case i've ever used. Barely adds any bulk to the phone and protects the phone where it needs it most.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] NoFanboy:
Strongly recommend you all check out the metal neo hybrid case. Feels amazing in the hand with aluminum edges
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] numel007:
There have been reports of the Neo Hybrid outside frame cracking on devices like the Notes and the iPhone 6, which is making me weary about getting one for my S6. Granted not all devices seem to be experiencing this issue, but I don't want to have to keep sending in cases for replacements. Can anyone that has a Neo Hybrid confirm how tight the frame is, and if it looks like it would be in danger of cracking?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] tft:
someone already asked that and i've said this before and i'll say it again, i have one on my phone 2 years and still no chipping, cracking or anything like that. i think these reports are just from careless people, or maybe if they drop the phone it will do some damage to the case (which is the point, case takes impact). look at the reviews at amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QU4Q31A/

they are all positive from verified buyers and the only one negative review seems to be from some disgruntled person who claim bad quality, yet when they left the review the case was not out..
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Droid_Evo_8:
:good::good::good:
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] numel007:
This puts me a little more at ease. I see that your case has lasted you for a long time, and I hear you about other users' clumsiness. But what worries me is that there are large reports of structural failure after light usage across the board for some phones like the iPhone 6 and one of the Notes. And when the structural failure did occur, it was after a few months of use.

The reviews for the S6 thus far have been great, but there's no way to determine whether they will fail after some usage over time like the iPhone 6 cases did. Call me paranoid.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] tft:
you have to ask yourself, if the case last you a few months and then breaks because you dropped it on cement, was it the case fault? the case has a thin otter frame, so if you drop the phone and the case gets hit (say on a corner), yes it can possibly crack. just like if you drop the phone, screen can crack.. that's typically the outcome when two hard objects make impact.. the weaker object breaks..

if you want a case that can constantly be dropped then maybe this case isn't for you and you should be looking at a soft TPU/Silicon case instead.

Edit: Spigen Neo Hybrid for S5, rating: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I3UWGVA/

nearly 5 stars from 2,000+ reviews.. maybe iphone users are just picky whiners because the case isn't up to Steve Jobs standards? the S4 has 4 stars with well over 6,000+ reviews. you also have to factor in the people who post reviews.. many people are more inclined to leave negative review when something happens.. which can skew results, say a million cases were sold and only 1-2% of those users left a negative review while the people who were satisfied didn't bother leaving a positive review..
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] numel007:
I'm aware of that. But the reviews I read almost seemed like the cases were breaking by themselves, because the outer frame fit was too tight and constant pressure over time caused it to fail eventually. As with your thought about who leaves reviews, that also crossed my mind. Either way, I'll be getting the case. I just want to be ready to go through some replacements should the case have fitting problems like on some other select devices. Again, my paranoia is probably ungrounded here.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] tft:
it's possible those that broke by itself could be just defective, i am skeptical of just breaking "by itself".. on my S4 i don't even put the otter frame on like you're suppose to, probably have stressed the crap out of it putting it on/off a few times (when i take the case out to clean the phone,etc). and i've yet to break after 2 year having it, even though i put it on the wrong way it not instructed to (just find it easier to put it on my way).

a dozen negative reviews out of thousands (speaking of Galaxy S4/S5 Spigen cases - not iSheep reviews) is hardly anything to really worry about. even if the case lasted you a year, i'd say it served well for 20 bucks..
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] neotekz:
im using the neo hybrid on my nexus 5 for almost one and a half years now. It held up really well during this time but it is a very tight fit. i can see how someone can easily break the plastic bumper when taking the it off or putting it back on.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Jr6278:
I just received the neo very cheap material already returning. I own alot of cases but this is not worth even 5 bucks
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] tft:
oh look, one those disgruntled reviewers i was speaking about. :laugh:

there's always an oddball..

let me guess, you expected a real aluminum frame?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] moot1:
I got the neo hybrid mostly for the non slip back. I'm liking it so far, but may decide to take the case off down the road, since it's a little bulky. The quality of the case is great, and the buttons are very responsive. The case still works with wireless charging.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] DextarRogue:
As I said, my wife has the Neo Hybrid (hers has the plastic frame with metal buttons) and the color is starting to chip away from it. It looks bad but doesn't change anything else. Her volume buttons did end up falling out though, which worries me about buying a case from Spigen again. They were very quick to respond and ship out new ones so that's a bonus.

I'm on the fence between the two of these.

http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Verus-Aluminum-Samsung-Titanium/dp/B00UAYPEGG/

and

http://www.amazon.com/Spigen®-ALUMINUM-Protective-Capsule-Gunmetal/dp/B00QU4N5LG/

I had ordered the Verus case but after hearing they had a 50% off deal I cancelled my order. I've been waiting on a Spigen deal too but nothing as of yet.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] tft:
they sent you a replacement, more of a reason to continue buying from them. very few companies actually stand by what they sell, you might find a more expensive (or cheaper) case, but if something happens you'll likely be SOL (once outside the Amazon return period). Spigen was born in South Korea, but their main company headquaters are now in the US.. which is another plus.

there was a Spigen S6 case recently (iirc Exact/Slim-Fit) that had a manufacturing defect., Spigen sent out emails to all those buyers and informed them they will be sending them new cases. stuff like this is why i continue buying their cases.

cheers.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lockeskidney:
Using Spigen Slim right now and i like it but im leaning more to the Obliq case due to top and bottom coverage
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] KevinNuhWin:
I've never had a Spigen case before, I was looking into getting the Neo Hybrid Metal. Will it make my phone really bulky?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] ramk13:
Can anyone comment on whether the Neo Hybrid protects the S6 camera bump from touching a surface when you place it on its back? It's hard to tell from the pictures.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] tft:
there is protection as i mentioned in the OP, maybe this might help clarity from another reviewer http://www.amazon.com/gp/review/R3O...iewpnt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00QU4Q31A#R3OH19QWAE71TI
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] DextarRogue:
They seem to have fixed the button issue with a little bit of tape or so it seems from some pictures so that's a bonus. I ended up going with the Verus case due to the obnoxious writing on the metal neo hybrid. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't a bright white. I wish they would have kept all writing off of the case. (Why PWR, + and -, and the Neo Hybrid in bright white?!)
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] ramk13:
Also read an amazon review that said that the metal neo hybrid caused signal loss, which is an absolute deal breaker for me:

http://www.amazon.com/review/R1QB7NSIW7M6VI/ref=cm_cr_dp_cmt
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Jr6278:
I returned the neo hybrid for a verus which is better quality try both iron shield or space cushion
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] elbos2k:
I got the Neo Hybrid and the Galaxy S View Flip Cover. Loving the Neo Hybrid, look nice and well built. I'll be getting the S View cover today along with my phone. Hope it's good...

case dimensions

can anyone who has the cases provide the dimensions of the cases?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Candiria:
The Spigen Ultra-thin is perfect

Received it a couple days ago, if you want minimalist protection that provides a nice rubber grip feel, very little bulk and fits nice and tight, I recommend it.

I'm waiting for this screen protector to arrive, I've never used a matte/anti-glare screen protector so I'll let you know how it goes.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UZ8V7D6

5 star review (albeit only 25 reviews) and several of the reviewers did receive the product as promotion in exchange for a review.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] gpvecchi:
As I'm waiting for my topaz blue S6, I ordered both a Liquid Crystal and a Neo Hybrid. I got the Neo in blue, I hope it'll match the blue of the phone...
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Comando156:
Im rocking neo hybrid... i like it allot. Wish the trim was metal though...
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] nflwideout86:
I have that one as well, unfortunately

im gonna end up returning it to get either the neo ex or neo metal because it seems like after a while dust could begin to collect under the left/right sides of the case.

Im leaning towards buying the metal, but the reviews about signal loss are concerning, have you experienced any signal loss on yours? And if so how much? Thanks

Spigen Slim Armour Gun-Metal.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] anindrew:
I had a Slim Armor on my GS4 for 2 years. After numerous drops (including screen down drops), the phone had zero damage. Now that I have an S6, I want at least that level of protection.

msavic6, those are great pictures as they answer a question I had on the Slim Armor vs Tough Armor. The Tough Armor has a slightly thicker case (possible better protection), but the recessed camera area is open down to the phone, which bothers me a bit. The Slim Armor has recessed TPU around the camera and flash, leaving no area open to the phone surface. I couldn't tell until now how recessed it was. It looks like there's enough material on the hard plastic back to prevent the camera/flash from touching a surface when placed with the screen facing up. Could you please confirm that for everyone? Also, how is the kickstand? Sturdy enough? Thanks again for the helpful pics!
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] cswann1:
pretty darn happy

I got my Spigen Neo-Hybrid case yesterday and I have to say I am very happy with it.

Is fits very snugly (it took a bit of effort to install) looks and feels great. Highly recommended.:good:
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] CatKitKat:
I have the Slim Armor for the Edge but hopefully my feedback helps you. The case is just thick enough the camera protrusion is protected. The kickstand feels flimsy out of the box but once on the phone it's pretty study and clips solidly into the case when not used. I also like having the option of two different phone angles. Overall the case fits snugly on the phone and you have to pry it off (I see that as a good thing). There are only two cons to this case: 1. the buttons don't protrude and have almost no texture difference from the rest of the case so I'm constantly hitting the wrong volume button or mixing up the phone orientation entirely) 2. The case edges and cutouts are quite sharp and irritate the hands.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] daewond3r:
I got my Neo Hybrid CC case in today and I'm (mostly) in love. It's a very slim, sleek case and yet it still feels plenty protective. The case was a little slippery at first but after a wipe with a wet paper towel it's much better. The "(mostly)" part is because the "metalized" power button is really loose compared to the volume buttons. So loose that when I shake my phone I can hear the power button rattling around. It's not a deal-breaker but it does put a dent (ha) in an otherwise perfect case. I've emailed Spigen about it and will update this post if/when I hear back from them.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] flu13:
We just got two Spigen cases yesterday. My wife got the Slim Armor. She likes the kickstand. I got the Ultra Hybrid and I love its "barely there" look and feel.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] jaysoze:
Got my spigen slim armour today. Nice sleek fit. Minimal weight + size addition. Good overall protection
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] nadalzeal:
Anyone tried Spigen Galaxy S6 Case Ultra Hybrid FX? Since no screen protector / tempered glass that protects the whole front glass (screen). Im planning to get this one since it covers the whole phone. My only concern will be the touch sensitivity. Pls reply because I will order it overseas, thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] nadalzeal:
anyone using spigen Galaxy S6 Case Neo Hybrid does it scratch the sides of your galaxy s6? does it affect the wireless charging using the official samsung wireless charger? Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] ramk13:
With the exception of the buttons the phone only touches the TPU, so it shouldn't scratch. I've been using mine with the official Samsung Wireless charger and it works fine.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] muzicman82:
I bought two cases for the S6 because I couldn't decide based on just stock photos from their website. I got the Neo Hybrid and the Neo Hybrid CC. I have the Neo Hybrid on my phone now and absolutely love it. It actually feels thinner than my Neo Hybrid on the S4, despite the phone being larger. Compared to the Neo Hybrid CC, this one is actually thinner just slightly. I think the frames are identical (and I ordered in different colors, so I could swap), but the clear TPU on the CC is actually thicker. I didn't put the phone in it to see how it looks yet, but I'm guessing it will definitely give the phone a crystalish look. The back is very smooth, so I imagine it will scratch to some degree or even get dirty. I'm not sure how well it "showcases" the back of the actual phone.

That said, I don't need to hang on to the CC (Metal Slate) just for kicks, so if anyone wants to take it off my hands, PM me.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] nadalzeal:
Thanks! I'm now thinking if I will be getting neo hybrid or ultra hybrid FX
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] kinghu:
Just got my Neo Hybrid Metal in Gun metal and am impressed. I've had Spigens before on my iPhone and iPad so new they were good. The metal band on this makes a difference in feel (more premium) and followed the design of the S6's band.

Good protection all round including the camera and lip over the front screen. Well worth the £17.99 price direct from Spigen.

[Galaxy S6 Accessories] flu13:
Does that say "Dia-Cut Aluminum?" I think they meant "Die-Cut."
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] nadalzeal:
How does the Samsung Wireless Charger work with this case? Does this case scratch your phone when removed?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] kinghu:
Don't have a world charger but given only the band is metal, or should still work through the rubber/plastic back.

You'd have to be a clutz to scratch the phone taking it off. The black piece of the cases is a good fit but not overly tight, and it's very flexible. The inner edges that touch the phone also has padding/tape where it contacts the buttons.

Despite the snug fit and outer band being metal, it's not difficult to remove or put on.

Hah, probably.

-- from my S6
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] jmwils3:
Given the imaging used in the marketing pics, I suspect it's called dia-cut because the aluminum is cut by industrial grade diamonds to give it a particular shine around the edges. Waiting for my red one to come in, so we shall see, I guess.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] flu13:
Oh, snap! Dropping some logic on us! I actually can't refute that because it might make sense. I can't say that I've ever seen anyone abbreviate diamond as dia, but with things made overseas, you never know.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] ipaq_101:
I just ordered this and am waiting for it to arrive. I read a lot of negative reviews about no gps lock and signal loss, what have you experienced?

I think that's the best looking case for this phone right now, with that being said, if it impacts the gps and signal, what's the point?

I hope the negative reviews were exaggerated.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] kinghu:
Used it non stop since i got it and get full signal in the same places as before. GPS in driving mode with HERE maps has been fine.

I'll be watching though.

[Galaxy S6 Accessories] zhangmaster12:
I have the CC, and i love it, but how the hell do you take this thing off?

Edit: answered my own question: with a terrifying amount of force.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] muzicman82:
I have the Neo Hybrid on my S6. It is so snug to the TPU that you wouldn't know it is two peices if you didn't install it. It is more snug than the Neo Hybrid on my S4. The frame on my S4 did crack at the USB port because it was so thin there, and ANY flex in the frame with USB cables wasn't good for it. They did replace it, but said they were making a "1 time exception". That wasn't cool on my book. They should replace it no questions asked.

The frame on the S6 version is much more solid. The frames aren't intended for dropping.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] moot1:
Hows your reception and grip with this case? I wanted to get the metal, but I ended up getting the neo hybrid, because it seemed grippier and no one really complained about the reception.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] numel007:
I actually bought the case. At first I was extremely careful with taking the outer ring on and off, but after a while I've gotten better at removing it with minimal flexing. The case is beautiful, and feels extremely good in the hand. The "metal" keys are a nice bonus too. Highly recommended this case to anyone that's on the fence.

I'm trying to decide between these:

Spigen Neo Hybrid CC

[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Divine_Madcat:
I see everyone mentioning other cases, but ill chime in for the tough armor case. Excellent look, excellent feel. I had the slim armor on my S4, but i like this one even more; the streamlined buttons are great, with the case giving good protection all around
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] DevonSloan:
Oh no. This is bad news. I just got two different Verus aluminum covers. I haven't noticed a signal loss - it seems to be the same as when I picked up the phone yesterday and had no cover on it. I'll have to do some testing.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] inffy:
Got my new hybrid just now.

Anyone elses power button looks wonky. Mine is pretty loose on the bumper and it moves a lot when pressed.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] vannel:
I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid in metal slate. It's a good fit but the buttons are not obvious, so you'll need to get used to instinctively knowing where they are. Also, as much as I like that the rear panel is transparent, it does invite fingerprints after use. Additionally, it also means the rear screen protector provided in the box is quite visible. Not sure if it was an application issue, but the rear screen protector has minor bubbling on the edges and doesn't sit nicely.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] vannel:
Pictures

As mentioned above..

I've attached a few pictures of my S6 and the ultra hybrid. Not very impressed by the cutting but the build quality seems to be fairly decent and should last. Also, one of the pictures shows the gap provided specifically to lift the camera module off the surface that the phone is placed on, in case anyone was worried about the amount of clearance.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Wallaby8:
Texture

Can anyone with the Neo Hybrid tell me what the texture on the back feels like? Is TPU hard with extra grip from the little plus signs? Or is it a soft plastic that will pick up pocket lint all the time?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] ramk13:
It's hard with better grip than a smooth surface. It isn't as much grip as some rubbery cases I've seen, but it's better than plain TPU, glass, plastic or any other hard smooth surface. I've been using it for a week or so and I have no lint issue.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] inffy:
Confirm that. The texture adds nice little grip. Much better than Samsung own clear cover etc.

Anyone tested any glass screen protectors with Neo hybrid? Will the sides of the case interfere with glass protectors?

[Galaxy S6 Accessories] inffy:
Yup works fine with my Orzly glass protector which I got today.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] muzicman82:
Mine is like this too. Doesn't bother me. I wonder if it is by design. Curious that the volume ones aren't like that. Maybe it is because the volume keys are the same plastic piece and can pivot on the point between them and the power has to sort of float?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] inffy:
Dunno but I have asked spigenin about this.

My volume buttons are little more sturdier but the move too but not so much
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Tikerz:
I have the Neo Hybrid Aluminium and it degrades signal strength about 10-15 dBm.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] DevonSloan:
Wow. I have the Verus aluminum bumper and case (almost identical to neo hybrid), and just tested - I went from -106dBm and only 1 bar to -75dBm and full 5 bars by taking it off. :/

It's such a gorgeous bumper, though. Not good.
