I have a few questions regarding this.
The hybrid's front screen lip (that covers the silver rim on the front), does it get loose over time since its made of silicone?
Is the polycarbonate (coloured hard part) easily scratchable?
Does the ultra capsule have a perfect fit on the international version of the SGS2?
The Hybrid has a polycarbonate outer casing that tightens the silicone part so no worries there.
Same question as above about the lips of the capsule too.
Thanks a bunch!
Go for Neo Hybrid bro. The lips is ok for me. No sign of loose.
I only used Neo Hybrid for a week, I guess I can't really speak the durability but after a week of usage (I change battery everyday which means I need to take off and take on the case at least 2 times a day).
the silicon lips are still intact, no any sign of wear off or changing shape, I guess the material is great.
go for it : )
only complaint on the Neo Hybrid is the outer rim only a thin flimsy plastic, I guess it gonna crack or break overtime if you change battery everyday like me.
otherwise, you would be safe.

its made from silicone and its fine..i use the case for over a month and its fine..
the lips of the capsule are smaller..and a bit loose yes..
I'm using the Neo Hybrid for 13 days now.
The silicone haven't got a sign of loose, it does attract some dust but can easily be cleaned off by a wiping it with your hands. However the inner part of the silicone, which have contact with your phone, collect dust and very difficult to clear them off.
If you remove your battery often it is not recommended to use Neo Hybrid, I find it quite hard to take off because of the outer plastic frame. Overall it is quite good.
For thos of you who got the Neo Hybrid, do you think it will fit a Nexus GSM with a Ghost Armor skin?
i dont know which one to get the Neo Hybrid or the Ultra Hybrid, can someone help me need to order fast...
I use a neo hybrid too, for two months something, and so far, no sign of bagging on the silicone part.
If you don't remove it often, the plastic seems durable enough.
It all fits tightly and even accomodate the samsung extended battery. There is some slight bagging under the camera optics though (with the extended battery). But, really, it's minor.
I was in doubt about the bulk it and the battery adds compared to a naked vanilla phone but I got used to it pretty fast.
All in all, very nice case.

id like to know this as well... would the ultra capsule series fit the i9100M? with or without the 2000mah battery
Just a question to those of you, I'm assuming most, who put a screen protector on your phone. I've been having troubles with the Nexus 5 screen protectors, specifically a matted protector from Ghost Armor, in which my common TPU case pushes up the corners of the protector rather severely.
I've put screen protectors on all my many phones and have never had such a problem, I'm assuming it has something to do with the Nexus 5's small bezel and how close both the case and the screen protector come out to the edges.
I'm just wondering if this is a common problem with any brand of screen protector and any case in general. Has anyone else had this happen?
I ordered a Spigen Neo Hybrid a couple days ago and plan to get my Ghost Armor reapplied, but now I'm wondering if there is a point to doing so if this will just happen again.
I don't have the ghost armor, but I have had both Spigen PET and glass screen protectors on the phone, and the Neo Hybrid case did not cause listing on either. The Spigen Slim Armor, and the Ringke Fusion also did not cause lifting of either screen protector. The Ballistic SG Maxx does not cause lifting of my glass screen protector, have not tried it with PET.

Thanks for the reply, I'm glad to hear that the Neo Hybrid didn't cause any lifting hopefully the same is with Ghost Armor. Side note, you mention having a glass screen protector is there any trouble fitting that with the Neo Hybrid? Not with the lifting, but like with how tight it is or something.

I find glass screen protectors much easier to get applied than traditional plastic ones. They go on easier (apply themselves) and have less air bubbles. I only ended up with one, and it was too late to re-apply the screen, so I just left it
prshosting.org
When the case "hugs" the lip of the phone some what and the screen protector goes right to the edge this can happen. Ringke Fusion doesn't seem to "hug" much at all and I haven't read anyone having these issues with it.
I was using one of the $.99 eBay cases and dropped my phone a couple of weeks ago face down and of course the screen shattered. I just got it repaired and don't want this to happen again. Are there any cases that people can recommend that would protect the screen if I were to drop it facedown again?
Something with a raised lip?

I honestly don't know how anybody can stand using the zagg, feels like you're running your finger across rubber to me. I have a spigen glaS TR, works great with the slim armor case. The others that would maybe work for you would be the trident aegis and the seidio active.

yeah, i love how it feels. lol. been using it also on my old device.
for the op, i been using the ultra-hybrid btw. really nice and not bulky feel.
I swear by my Diztronic TPU cases, been using them since I shattered my One S screen.
One of the main reasons is the amount of edge lip around the screen to protect it.
Having a lip on the case doesn't really stop the glass from shattering in any way. It's more to protect from scratching the screen when placed face down.
For drop protection, you need a cushion or buffer zone where some of the impact can be absorbed by the case and not the phone itself.
I hope going back to the Spigen case will save me now, same thing happened to me when I changed to a cover case which conveniently when I dropped my phone the cover opened up leaving my phone unprotected to fall on it's own screen and completely shattering, guess I should have stuck with the Spigen ultra hybrid.
My Spigen slim armor case is both slim and good looking. The armor part is my question. Can any member report a dropped phone with this case. What was the result?

Pocket level drop. Phone all fine, spigen glass has a crack going through the whole screen.
Phone drop from my ear while sitting. The phone fell on the bottom right corner of the case and the screen broke.. I have replaced the screen a week ago and ordered the otterbox defender. Hope it will be better im not ready for another screen replacment ?

Sorry about your broken screen. Was it in a Spigen case?
CliffordS
Yep, spigen slim armor (which I'm still using until ill get the defender)

I will do the same. I'm ordering a Otter Defender case.
Thanks for relating you experience.

Mine fell out of my shirt pocket from about 2 feet above the tile floor. Landed on the bottom right corner and put one long crack diagonal up the screen. First and only time to drop the phone. I let Spigen know of my disappointment. FYI, this phone's screen becomes unresponsive to touch when broken (well one half of mine did). $156 screen replacement through LG.

It's sad to hear that.
But is there any one who had his g3 dropped and survived in spigen case? I have it as well but now thinking about changing it for something else. Although I don't drop my phone often. [emoji12]

I started this thread because I read a few reports on screen breakage. I have the Spigen case on the phone now but because of the possibility of screen damage I decided to go with the Otter Defender. Between the 2 LG G3's in the family we have 4 Spigen cases. While waiting for the Otter case my G3 slipped out of my hand while retrieving it off my dresser. It landed face down. Luckily for me there was no damage. I also have a Tempered Glass screen protector on the G3. So the Spigen plus the screen protector did its job. The drop distance was about 3 feet. Now that I see how easy it is to drop a phone. Thankfully the Spigen and the tempered glass protector did its job. I now choose to have a little more protection so I'm glad that I ordered the Otter Defender.
I have the slim armor case and I dropped my G3 from ear height (I'm 6'3") and it landed on the top right corner onto a concrete driveway.
No damage to the phone at all
Unfortunately it seems to be a hit or miss situation. Insurance is costly so we are all looking for a compromise solution. To the best of my knowledge a good quality case is that compromise. Without the Spigen I believe my G3 screen would have a cracked screen when is slipped out of my hands and landed screen side down. Perhaps my tempered glass screen protector helped. The fall was slight in height; I'm sure that also helped. The Spigen Slim Armor case has saved myself and others. Others have had unfortunate results. The Otter Defender also has had reports of damaged phones. I know of no bullet proof solution but I'm going to move to the Otter Defender.
I don't have a drop experience but I have had both a Spigen slim armor and a Rinke max, and I can tell you that the tpu corner lip of the Spigen is way easier to be removed than the Rinke max case, even a Distronic full tpu case sits better than the slim armor

I had a Spigen Ultra Crystal screen protector on, but have since changed that to a Zagg tempered glass protector.

I was curious cause spigen glass saved my g3 screen when it said hi to the floor.
I received the Otter Defender for the lg g3. The case has three parts, a synthetic rubber outer-shell, a two part phone enclosure that snaps together securing the phone. There is a plastic screen protector (I might eventually remove). My tempered glass protector fits well and doesn't in peed the phones fit inside the case. It feels well in my hands. It looks and feels very secure, especially the fact that the front and back snap together.
My wife dislikes the case says "It looks masculine." and dislikes all the colors the case comes in. See prefers the Spigen Slim Armor.
EDIT: The plastic screen saver hampers the touch function. Since I already have a temper glass protector on the phones screen, I removed the Otter Defender's protectors screen. Everything fits perfectly.
Hello. Last week I received my tempered glass and my case from Godsmith. Luckly, or not, in 3 days I broked the glass protector. But this was not the problem. After 2 days after I used the case, The top corners broked, even if I dropped the phone only 2-3 times, but nothing seruously. One morning, the plastic around the camera was broken too, and the $10 I've spent for it were gone. That's why I am asking you guys. I need a new case which is very resistant, but not from silicone. I want ine just like the one from Godsmith, but with a better build quality. Thanks.
I'm currently running the Ringke FUSION case.
Looks not so pretty, but it's very resistant, especially on corners. A few weeks ago my One fell hitting the floor with absolutely no damage to case and/or phone.
It seems to be pretty thick.
they're not to thick, so far it's my favorite one I bought 2 the clear one and the one with the tint. I like showing off my bamboo back cover so rocking the clear one the most. I'm using with the tempered glass screen protector from OPO fit it's great no issues. The distronic cases might be a good choice for you they're thin decent protection and fit is good

Thank you for your answers guys. I just found out that the case I am looking for is a hard one, like these ones: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/One-...-one-Oneplus-Screen-Protector/2014021845.html, http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Qual...Cover-For-OnePlus-A0001-Phone/1975081836.html.
Like I said before, i used for a couple of days this one, http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6553333285.html?orderId=66333886303327, and it felt awesome, very thin, like I didn't have it on. But after a couple of days of usage, the corners and the plastic near the camera broke, poor quality I guess. If anyone used/have a hard case like this, please review it for me. Thanks.
