Spigen Neo Hybrid Case Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus - Gunmetal

This is a great case. I previously had the neo hybrid case for my s7 edge, and decided to go with it again for my new s9 plus purchase. The case is slightly different to the one I had previously for my s7 edge, with a less aggressive texture on the back and a different, more grippy material for the frame.The case itself looks very clean, with good colour options available. I went with the gunmetal and black version. The branding isn't too aggressive, with a relatively small spigen logo on the bottom right of the back (when the back is facing you) and a small neo hybrid logo on the bottom of the left edge of the phone (when the phone screen is facing you).The phone fits perfectly into the case, snapping in easily and firmly. There doesn't seem to be any chance of the phone accidentally popping out of the case at all. The case is made from two different materials, a soft rubber that covers the entire back and sides of the phone, along with a plastic frame running around the edge of the phone and with a small strip along the bottom of the back of the case. This is said to offer increased protection, and I could believe it, with the rubber offering some impact absorption and the harder plastic distributing the impact over a larger area. The hard plastic is easy to grip and feels nice in the hand, if a little large. However this will be the case with any case offering the same level of protection. The phone remains easy enough to use with two hands, but use with only one hand may be a struggle.The buttons are easy to find and press through the case, although a little bit stiff at first. There is a small groove between the up and down volume buttons, making them easy to distinguish. There are cutouts for the bottom speaker, headphone jack and usb c port, which are perfectly located and will work for all but the very largest of usb c cables. There are also cutouts for the microphones, and using the case doesn't seem to affect call quality in the slightest.The case works perfectly with my fast wireless charger, with no apparent loss in speed and no added difficulty in getting the phone to charge.I haven't drop tested the case or anything like that, but if I were to guess if say the case would have no issue with most drops from hip or head height onto a flat surface. My previous spigen neo hybrid case (for my s7 edge) survived several drops onto hard surfaces with no trouble. There is a lip at the top and bottom of the case to provide protection for the screen. This lip seems to be very slightly smaller than on other cases, and so this case may struggle a little more with screen first drops onto more uneven surfaces. I would say that the durability of the case is higher than my old case. Overall I am very happy with this case and would recommend it for all except those who are looking for an extremely tough and rugged case. (Possibly look at the spigen tough armor case for that, although i havent tried that case yet.)In summary:Pros.Fits perfectly.Provides a good level of protection.Looks good.Is grippy - much easier to hold that a naked phone.Works perfectly with wireless fast chargingCons.Buttons are a little stiff at first.The lip to protect the screen is smaller than some other cases.Makes the phone a little harder to use one handed (as expected of any case of the same size)As always, remember to remove the phone to clean both it and the case from time to time, as dust and grit can make their way into the case and scratch your phone!

I am writing this review after using this case for nearly a year and it is simply brilliant.Firstly, it is not too bulky and doesn't add too much thickness to it. All the buttons are perfectly positioned and the openings for charge port as well as the headphone port are wide enough so that a wider than standard plug can be used.Now for durability: I do use the phone extensively for work and leisure and it has suffered many drops from various heights onto various surfaces without any damage to the phone. The rubber part of the case isn't showing any signs of wear while there is some signs of wear on the plastic part were some of the paint is scratched due to extensive wear/dropping. The plastic surround part on my case has cracked on one of the corners after it was dropped on the concrete however I suspect that this prevented a nasty crack on the phone so happy days indeed.Overall, very pleased with this purchase, probably saved me replacing my screen at least 4 times.

Really great case.... I spent a disproportionate amount of time looking into cases for my Samsung s9+ and I cannot recommend this case highly enough! It is a well fitting one piece case. It has a slightly raised lip around the edge that will help protect the screen from cracking.The case is lightweight but strong, and also is kot very thick at all. When researching cases i didn't want a case that would give my phone a bulky feel.... and I am so glad that I opted for this case! Even with the case on my phone still feels slim and sleek, not bulky at all!It does not come with a screen protector but I bought a spider screen protector that works with this case like a dream.Cannot recommend this case highly enough!

I have used spigen cases when possible and yet again another great case for the S9+.It's a kind of in the middle case as in its not too bulky which means it may not offer same level of protection as a bulky case would. Saying that I feel reassured that my phone is protected for the level I need and believe it would keep it safe if it fell on the floor.It had a nice pattern on the back, the buttons are still easy to press.A great case and would recommend it to anyone who wants good protection without adding too much bulk.

I've had Spigen products protect all my devices and have never let me down. They almost always suit the phone, can tie in with the selection of colours of the phone available and in someway make it look as if it was born to be with the phone... A partnership...My only criticism is that the case itself is quite slippy when holding it, there is no real sense of grip or security when holding the phone. This was surprising as my last few cases were brilliant for the S6 and S7.It certainly feels as if it would easily slip out of your hand.As for protection, it covers all the areas needed and has worked well with the glass shield I purchase to protect the screen.

I purchased this for my husband back in April as a replacement for his wallet phone case.For £12.99 it is certainly value for money and it doesn’t compromise the quality of the product. It’s sleek and stylish and fits perfectly on the S9! There is easy access to charging point and aux socket. Cut to precision around the buttons which doesn’t affect them at all unlike what I’ve experienced in the past with some cases. The phones been dropped several times (aren’t they all?!) and has survived to tell the tale! 7 months on and it’s still going strong! Durability is a strong point of this case!
