Thinking about getting a bumper for my iphone and was looking at the SGP Linear EX. I can get just the bumper from the website now with the new mix and match option. I don't need the screen protectors because I have Power Support Crystals on my iphone so doing the mix and match is nice because its cheaper. Is there any other bumpers out there I should consider that are like the SGP Linear EX? I don't want the neo because I don't want the two layer set up with the silicone. I like that the Linear EX is a hard plastic.
Got a tip for us?

Better bumper than SGP Linear EX?

Yeah I have the neo snow and after a while the plastic band starts to get lose and goes out of place when you take the phone out from pocket.
Not just a little bit, but a lot. Nice case, looks very good, but you will drop it!
Definitely! I returned mine because of this. Way too slippery and I felt is moreso than if it were naked. Loved how it looked though
I just got the satin silver one for my 4s, real happy with it. It's not slippery at all for me.
I had the SGP Neo Hybrid snow one but like I said, I didn't like the 2 piece design cuz that outer band will get lose over time. Which will result in the bumper getting out of its place when you pull the phone from pocket.

I ordered from cretouch earlier in the week, my linear ex is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I went with the mix and match option but got both pieces in black. I didn't need the screen protectors so this was a cheaper option. Cant wait to get it!
I have the linear EX and i really like the looks of it (white on white). However if it was a tad slimmer and less slippery, it would be a perfect bumper.
Picked one of these out for Wife in White. Yes it is slick when COMPARED to other cases that have a rubbery texture.
When reviewing on its own I think it's great!! Feels great in hand, and she has adapted too the slickness just fine. No drops so far;-).
If you keep phone in pocket, it is very easy and smooth too slip in and out.
The fit is 8 / 10. The sleep button does have a slight rattle, but only if you shake it looking for a rattle!!
Overall love it, just wish it was priced $10-15 less.
I think it comes down too peoples past experiences with stickier cases, and just understanding that this case is not like that.

I've had one on for a few months now and take it off about once a week to clean.
Haven't got one mark on the aluminium, so don't worry about that.
I do keep the phone in a Hard Graft wallet though.
It's hard to work out how to remove at first, but I discovered that you just lift up top right and bottom left at the short ends & it unclips easy.
Best bumper I've bought and I've had a few, lol.

I just bought the mix'n'match pieces in white and red and I absolutely love this case (I have a black iPhone)! It is exactly hat I was wanting. I love the slick hard feel and the slimness of it. This is by far the best case I have had. Like another poster I head the neo hybrid and was not at alls satisfied with the fit and how the outer band tended to slip around on the rubber part.
I just received my case and I absolutely love it. I tried to put the case on with my luckylabs spectra wrap, but it just would not click. I even used force, but did not want to break it so I just took the wrap off. I love how it comes with plastic buttons unlike the rubber ones they use for their other cases.
Overall, a great cheap bumper. Highly recommended!
