The Neo Hybrid case for the Galaxy S6 Edge focuses on style that protects. Peripheral protection is reinforced with a colored polycarbonate frame that embraces the TPU layer, creating a duality in protection and style that fully adheres to the design of the Edge’s screen without interfering with functionality.

Classy, Slim, High Quality!
Finally, I got the phone!I Love this case! It's slim, yet it fit the phone perfectly. The 1.2mm raised lip is awesome as it is giving me a peace of mind in case of drop on both the sides and the face.This case also cover raised enough in the back that it protect the camera.For those who want to use the wireless charging, this case worked with my wireless charger (I have the itian 3-coils).It took me a while to find the perfect case for this phone. Now that I found it I added some pictures for you if you are curious how it looks.

Stylish and protective
(Updated with photos 4/25/15)If you don't want to hear my story and just want to get the hard facts skip to the Pro's and ConsThis is an absolutely fantastic case! I purchased my Samsung Galaxy S6 edge (128GB) on the 27th at T-Mobile, the next day I looked for cases and screen protectors for it and couldn't find many options, the options I could find I either hatted the look or they covered the edge screen. Then I came across Spigen, have never purchased from them before or even heard of them. I liked what I saw and after checking out all the cases decided on the Spigen Neo Hybrid (Gun Metal). I also needed a screen protector and decided to give the Spigen Flex screen protector a try, it's fantastic as long as you get the one that has full screen coverage and not the partial one (reason for 2 star rating). I'd also recommend watching YouTube videos on installing it first. I wrote a review for it so check that out. So back to the Neo Hybrid. I ordered it (along with the screen protector) on the 28th and got 2 day shipping not knowing when my new GS6 would arrive (T-Mobile shipped them early), I got my GS6 on the 3rd of April and started by installing my Spigen Flex screen protector (check out my review) then afterwards installed the Neo Hybrid. It was pretty easy to install the case just be sure to put the rubber part on before doing the plastic bumper piece. It fits perfectly and looks amazing! I love the textured design on the back it really helps with grip and feels good. I honestly love everything about the case! It just looks perfect! My only complaint might be that the frame is plastic and not metal (might be harder to install if it was), otherwise I can't find any complaints. So if you like the look of it, it fits perfectly and has great protection. Just the other day I was at the gym and I accidentally flung it up in the air (don't ask how, it happened to fast to recall). and it landed onto the tile floor and was perfectly fine. So drop test passed! It's also insanely thin! Hardly adds any bulk! I came from a Galaxy S4 with a Otterbox Defender and this new case is half (or less) the thickness, looks way better, cheaper, weights less and has a lot less bulk to it. Also my Otterbox Defender has deformed a lot around the edges, seems like a common issue I've seen it on all my family's Otterbox cases. This case unlike my Defender slips in and out of my pockets no problem and I don't even notice it's there. Honestly I could go on for quite a while! I love everything about this case, so all I'll do it keep praising every last thing. I'll sum it up to make it easier.Pro'sLooks fantasticPerfect tight fitGreat Protection (definitely passed the drop test!)Extremely slim (also thanks to the new GS6 design)Good gripButtons are very responsive and work perfectVery comfortable to holdDoesn't interfere with using the edge screenDoesn't interfere with any functions (so far) (Wireless charging works)Easy to install and stays on secure (hard to take off)Best case on the market so far (in my opinion)ConsNone except maybe that I wish the frame was metal. If you revise the frame Spigen please send me a new one! :)Other ThoughtsOne reviewer I noticed said the Gun Metal looks bronze/brown, after seeing that I looked at mine and if you look at it looking for that kind of color it looks slightly bronzish (it's not as grey as the Amazon photo) but I never thought that at all until he mentioned that, to me it looks dark silver.Another reviewer mentioned that the case didn't quite cover the edges around the buttons, that is true but it's barely noticeable. Unless your looking for it you won't ever notice.I own a pair of Beats Tour 2.0 ear buds (saving up for the Shure SE846!) and I wasn't sure if they'd fit in the headphone jack with the case, since they have a 90 degree angle and don't stick out far. Though after installing the case I tried them and they work perfect! Only problem you might run into is with cables that have fat/thick audio jacks.Having gone from the Otterbox defender to the Spigen Neo Hybrid I'd definitely recommend using a slimmer case like the Neo Hybrid and not getting a fat and bulky case like the Defender unless like maybe your a construction worker and need the extreme protection, otherwise the Neo Hybrid is the perfect case for the GS6 edge!That's all that comes to mind for now. I'll update if I think of anything else. I'll also try to post an update after I use the case more.My Spigen Flex screen protector review.http://www.amazon.com/review/RSYZ3UC9RE6B1/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00UI8FXP6&nodeID=2335752011&store=wirelessUpdate 4/25/15 (Photos Added)Having the case for over 3 weeks and I'd still absolutely recommend it! An amazing case! So much better for day to day use than my Otterbox on my GS4. The Neo Hybrid is very stylish, protective, slim and easy to use. It enhances the phones usability, without the case the phone is slick and harder to grip, with the case it's easy to handle and provides a firm grip when using. The camera sticks out and with this case that's no longer a problem. The case in no way hurts the experience using the phone, it only enhances it! Absolutely phenomenal case! 5/5!The photos were shot with a regular GS6, which has the same camera as the edge.

Almost the perfect case.
This case handles the unorthodox shape of the S6 quite well. It is composed of two parts, a rubber shell and a more rigid plastic band that secures the shell. It has no trouble staying on the phone (unlike some other cases made for the edge), and protects the corners adequately, with the plastic thickened on the corners and top/bottom of the device. In addition, the case does not complicate any of the edge-related functions of the phone. The case is quite thin, but simultaneously has enough depth to protect the screen if the phone is laid face-down, and the protruding camera is protected if laid face-up.The power and volume buttons preserve the tactile response of the built-in buttons very well. The headphone opening on the bottom is spacious enough to accommodate even the largest 3.5mm audio cable I could find, and the cutout for the USB port is also well-sized. The backing is thin enough to allow for inductive wireless charging (I am using the recommended Samsung charger) without a problem. Finally, the textured backing really does help prevent an otherwise slippery device from escaping one's grasp, and adds confidence when adjusting grip with one hand (the texture does, unfortunately, help dirt stick to the back of the phone).I only have two complaints about this case: First, the indentation for the pulse oximetry sensor next to the camera is asymmetrical and makes the sensor somewhat harder to use than if the case is off (not completely unusable, though). Second, the edges where the case meets the sides of the phone aren't quite straight, and so the silver chassis of the phone shows through intermittently.

One of the better cases I have come across 👍👍👍
In fact, so good that when my cracked 2 year old Neo Hybrid case needed replacing, I replaced liked for like, particularly as my original requirements were still valid - I simply want a good looking, hopefully looks stylish, protects my phone and is good value for money. I also seek one that does not impact on the curves or style or looks of the phone.Lots of pictures to see what the phone looks like in the case.My thoughts regarding this case are as follows :Features appreciated- Professional packaging- No ports are obscured- Buttons easily accessible- Buttons are protected- Light but not thin and neither is it flimsy- Solid- Easy to fit and remove- Snug fitting- Offers good impact protection- Good grip- Unobtrusive brandingFeatures less appreciated- Absolutely nothingIn summary, I really like how this case protects my phone and doesn't hide its looks and curves. It's a simple case, but an effective one. Nothing to criticise.An extremely good case and as I originally said, had no hesitation in replacing like for like.

Good price, great looks, good feel.
This is a great case. It fits the phone very well (the best of any phone case I've owned yet), and from looking at the design and materials used I'm quite confident it will protect the phone very nicely from damage.It's also my favourite case for the Galaxy S6 Edge in terms of looks; it really looks quite nice, very premium. The only improvement in this regard would be if the frame around the edge of the device was built out of metal - but this would of course raise the price of the case, so it's entirely understandable that it uses a metallic-looking plastic instead.The only issues I have with this case are fairly minor. The rubberised texture on the back is nice, but the edges of the edges where it meets the plastic frame are rather sharp and not flush. Whilst not a major inconvenience or discomfort, it doesn't feel very nice when you brush against it or happen to apply enough pressure to that area when holding your phone.Secondly, the hole in the case for the camera's LED flash and heartbeat monitor doesn't seem to have been designed with the heartbeat monitor's presence in mind - in order for it to function properly, the user must place their finger securely against the sensor. Unfortunately, the opening in the case does not easily allow for this - it's a little too small, too narrow, and the bottom is angled too steeply. Consequently, it's very difficult for me to get a secure contact with the sensor which has caused the readings I get from it to be very susceptible to interference and notices from the S Health app that I must place my finger properly upon the sensor.But those two niggles aside, it's a very good case. It feels solid, it looks great and it's a very good price.

Looks great but very fragile and damages easily
I've had 2 of these cases. I got the first on 19 October 2015 and had to replace it with a second on 24 July 2016 because the gold rim had cracked. It's now 24th May 2017 and the latest one is useless. It's cracked in two places. Initially it cracked just by the charging port hole from being dropped onto a carpeted floor at home, exactly the same as the first case. I stuck with it this time, but now it's cracked down the side such that the rim comes away and flops all over the place. This happened while the phone was in my pocket. It's a shame, because I really love the look of this case, but the plastic rim is far too brittle. At £16 a throw and with a lifetime of less than a year I cannot recommend this to anyone.

You will not be disappointed
Galaxy s6 edge Perfect fit.Very Easy to fit.I can still use my wireless charger with it on my phone.Does not even feel like the case is on, its that good.It definitely does the job and looks the bees knees.You don't get a free screen protector with it, I knew that but I know people ask that question.Comes in a very posh box with the genuine makers card so you know it's not a fake.Buy it will not be disappointed.

Like a Glove
Fits the S6 Edge like a glove, best fitting phone cover I have ever had.Yes the plastic surround that fits over the rubber cover is a little fragile, but follow the instructions on how to put your phone in and don't be heavy handed and it works perfectly.Really pleased with my purchase and would buy this brand of cover again
