A pretty impressive bumper.

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2014

Verified Purchase

I actually love this bumper. It's dual layer, so there's a piece of rubberized material that wraps around the edges of your phone, then the rigid outer frame lays on top of it. I wasn't exactly sure how it worked until I put it on. That said, I can notice that if you squeeze the phone on the sides, you can see how much give there is to the inner layer. It keeps my phone neat, keeps that pesky camera lens off any surfaces, and is minimal in design.

My biggest problem with the bumper I bought for my iPhone 5 was that it was a single layer (had some rubber on the inside, but not fully) and the plastic wound up scratching off the paint job on the edges of my phone.

I didn't really have much problem pressing the buttons, but I put the stabilizers on anyway that Spigen sent me. For anyone who needs to put them on, they go on the INSIDE of the bumper, not the outside (I'll admit, I put them on the outside at first, looked at it and thought, "What the hell is this going to do?" - then I looked at the instructions again [which are just images] and it made sense after I looked carefully at the cut out and the image itself).

I think if I had to complain about any parts of it, it would be that a) dust tends to collect in the crevice between frame and front glass and b) the mute switch is a little too far recessed - I have to use the tip of my finger to get in there and toggle the mute switch.

I received this case today, and I simply can not stop looking at it, touching it, and holding the phone. It looks stunning with the chamfered aluminum edges, which give it a classy yet subtle look, somewhat reminiscent of the iPhone 5 and 5S. It is technically a one piece design, but it does have a rubber (?) insert to cushion the iPhone. The outside edge of the case has a very comfortable feel to it; similar to the rear of the iPhone. Time will tell about drop protection and durability, but considering that it is made of aluminum, I would expect it to dent and scuff rather easily. Note to Spigen: Your product line is somewhat confusing, and your product titles extremely long and full of special characters. Please fix this!

The Hardy Boys and the Case of the Spigen iPhone 6 Neohybrid EX Case

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

I was in the market for an iPhone 6 bumper case that would:

1. not cover the rear of the iPhone, meaning a true bumper that would only cover the sides. I came across many bumper cases that also covered the rear of the iPhone, usually with clear plastic and a cutout for the camera area.

2. not be too bulky. Part of the beauty of the iPhone is its slimness. A case detracts from that, but because I am a klutz, having one is mandatory.

I ended up purchasing the metal version of the Spigen Neo Hybrid EX. The plastic version has more color choices, but as mentioned, I am a klutz, and scuffed up plastic just doesn't look as good as scuffed up metal.

There are two components to this case, the outer metal bumper, and an inner rubber ring that gives the metal bumper a snug fit as well as drop shock protection for the phone. The inner rubber ring also has lips that the phone rests on when placed face up or face down, with lip height being just enough for the rear camera to not get touched when placed down on surfaces.

I've seen some bumpers that use a latching mechanism to allow the case to be slipped on the phone, but the Spigen Neo Hybrid EX is a solid metal piece. You first slip the rubber ring onto the phone and then press the metal bumper over that. It takes a wee bit of force to get the metal piece around the rubber. The metal gets perilously thin around the Do Not Disturb switch, and some people have complained about breakage happening there in both the plastic and metal versions. I could see this happening depending on how often you remove and reinstall the bumper and how much flex your case experiences in daily use.

Overall, I am happy with this case. I have the red one, and it looks very beautiful. The fit and finish are excellent. There are metal overlays for the power and volume buttons, and they have a very good tactile feel and response.

A few things do bother me though. First, the case has an opening for the headphone jack that is very small. I've tried numerous different sets of headphones and earbuds, and the general pattern seems to be that older models will not fit. Apple earbuds will work.

Secondly, you need skinny fingers to access the Do Not Disturb switch. The thickness of the rubber ring and the metal case now mean you have to dig in a bit to reach the exposed switch. Both of the above mentioned issues are pretty much due to the physical limitations of what any case can do. A bigger opening for the headphone jack would have required a bigger case as there isn't a whole lot of material in that area to begin with. Easier access to the Do Not Disturb Switch would have required a thinner case, meaning the metal or plastic in that area would have been weaker and even more likely to break.

Lastly, I believe this bumper does cause a small amount of wi-fi interference. I don't have any hard numbers to prove this, but it seems that places where I used to get a solid three curves of wi-fi now flicker between two and three. I haven't been as vigilant to monitor cell reception to see if there is a similar pattern for that.

I had mentioned I wanted a bumper that would not be too bulky. This bumper definitely adds some size to the phone. I had looked into finding the most minimalistic case possible, but the tradeoff would have been aesthetics and the amount of protection provided. The Spigen Neo Hybrid EX metal is in my opinion the best intersection of those three attributes.

Update 10/27/15 - I have now had the case for some 9 months. I can definitely confirm that the case causes reduced wi-fi reception. When I am at work, I will typically take the metal band off and just leave the rubber ring on, giving me much better reception.

Also, the machining of the metal leaves some sharp edges. particularly at the opening where the charge cable would be inserted. When holding the phone with one hand, I typically place my pinky on said opening to provide additional support. With some of the weight of the phone resting on my pinky, I feel the sharp edges pressing into my skin in an uncomfortable way.

Lastly, there are two clear pre-cut plastic sheets provided to protect the screen and back of the phone. Properly placing them on the phone was nearly impossible, but I imagine that is a problem with many such sheets.

Overall this phone has done a great job of protection. I dropped the phone from about four feet up onto a concrete floor and other than some scuffing on the case, nothing was damaged. However, if I were to buy another case, I would probably buy the plastic version of this same case.

The case is slick and the fact that it comes with both screen and back protectors are great... loved the case, until I dropped my phone. It didn't fall from some absurd height, just 2ft from my hardwood floor at home and hit the corner of the case/phone. I picked it up, figured ahh it's fine... the aluminum bumper is completely out of whack, warped and has a gap on the side now. Great, it protected my phone and took the impact, but.... am I supposed to get a new case or try to reform it every time I accidentally drop my phone?? Like I said, slick design and I love Spigen cases... if this bumper is meant to do this then someone's gotta tell us how to unwarp it.

This is a beautiful case, with a very well made design and thought out button and port placement. With that being said, the outer plastic bumper is just garbage. It is flimsy and delicate. After just 2 weeks of use, the entire bottom of the case cracked. It is just useless now. I love Spigen and expected better from them.

UPDATE: 12/24/2014,
They promptly shipped me a replacement case after I emailed them about the bumper. The trick to the bumper is to not remove it from the TPU because when you go to put it on, the plastic itself cannot take the strain of the stretching it has to do to fit over the TPU when on the phone. Great case, excellent service. Spigen redeemed themselves.

This is a screen protector for the front and back of the phone with a rubber bumper that fits around the edge. It actually works well to protect the phone and I'm very happy with it - saved me from buying a separate screen protector.
