@Super-spy The Neo Hybrid is easily the better case between the two:

a) It's a matter of taste but IMO the Neo Hybrid case looks much better
b) The case has more of a lip at the front so the device can be placed face down whereas the Slim armour case has practically no lip and the phone sits almost flush with the case.
c) The Neo Hybrid adds little bulk and retains the slimness of the S4 and is more grippy than the Slim armour which is ever so slightly bulky and feels like you're holding a bar of soap in your hand.
d) The Neo Hybrid is very tight around the camera and other areas which means that there's very little chance of dust and lint getting trapped between the case and the device itself.

The Neo Hybrid is definitely recommended over the Slim Armour case.

@skidmarks See above for the answer to your question :D

Thanks Stoosh - excellent write up.

I don't want a bulkier, slippier case so I will stick to the Neo.

The Neo does look and feel nice. It's just the extra bulk that annoys me but not the end of the world

Got it and I love it. Feels like it's added an extra dimension to the phone, and the fact that it's slimline is great. The back of the cover is really nice to hold and feels like touching the back of the iPhone5.

Here's some close up pics I've taken:

Great pictures there El1te :)

Shows off the case very nicely. IMO it's easily the best case out there for the S4 it protects the phone really well without adding any extra bulk to the phone. It's extremely grippy as well, although it does make the S4 look like a iphone5! :eek:

No worries Mate, am glad that I could help :)

It's the best case out there and I have a few already for the S4 with another one to come very shortly.
 
Yellow?!?! :eek: :confused:

Thanks mate! I agree, it's quite amazing at how much it protects the phone yet looks and feels so slim!

I got the Slate blue the same one as El1te, I thought I posted some pics but obviously I didn't :o

So here's my S4 in the case.

I really like the yellow version, I had yellow version for my S3 and it looked offset against the Pebble Blue :cool:

Cheers stoosh! It's an understated colour, but for some reason I felt I wanted something more shouty :D

What lock screen and/or notifications you using there? Stock rom?
 
stoosh said:
That's just the stock ROM when you wave your hand over the sensor to see if there's any missed calls etc, the screen shows up for a few seconds and then fades away.

Ah right cool, I've got all that disabled lol, wish the normal lock screen looks like that!
 
This case turned up this morning and next to the SGP Slim Armour case it's my worst buy (Verus Oneye Case - Lime)

Why?

a) Case is very rigid and it's a mission to take the S4 out. It took my approx 10-15 mins worth of struggling and sore nails to get the S4 out of the case once it was in.

Supposedly there's room for your credit / debit card in the case but how on earth are you going to use it when it's so hard to get the case off?

b) It's quite a thick case adds approx 5-6mm thickness to the phone and the back isn't very grippy and I can see the back getting scratched pretty easily and quickly because it's glossy.

c) The buttons are quite hard to press and take a number of goes to get the phone to respond unlike the Neo Hybrid case.

d) There's a slight gap at the top and bottom where you can see the bezel of the S4 otherwise it's pretty much flush around the phone.

e) Pointless cutout on the top right maybe to put a lanyard through? Who knows.

f) The case is curved at the back and placing the phone on a flat surface and using the phone is a no no because it rocks from side to side. So if you're used to using your S4 whilst it's on a desk I wouldn't recommend using this case, as it mimics a rocking chair very well :confused:

It comes with two screen protectors I don't know what they're like in quality because I already have a sp fitted to the phone.

I paid $15 for it from ebay, which equates to around £11 which is money wasted but if you don't try then you won't know :p
