Rating: 4 out of 10
Pros: Looks really good, includes 2 Stienheil screen shields, anti-fingerprint as well as a new optical enhancement. Can buy separate frames for $4.99 to add some variety. Good scratch protection and the frame does cover the chrome bezel.
Cons: Design to secure the case on the phone is very flimsy and when dropped on carpet from 3 feet it started to come apart so I would hate to see what would happen if I dropped it on concrete or other hard surfaces.
Overall: The Neo Hybrid has some very good looks and I was excited to try this case out. After using it for a week I found that the design and execution was suspect and really not designed for drop protection. On the other hand if you are simply looking for a case to protect against abrasion and scratches this case does the job. I did like the fact that 2 Steinheil Screen Shields were included (a $11.99 value). When it comes down to it I just can’t recommend this case and I hope that SGP looks at redesigning it because I really think it has some potential. Just a side note, I have been very happy with the other products from SGP so this case is by no means a poor reflection on their other products.
