I am starting to see slight discoloration on the back of the bumper. I baby my phone so i can't tell why it is turning. It is basically getting dirty but it isn't washing off. You can't tell unless you are really looking but I am really anal about this stuff. I will keep and eye on it and if it get's worse i will let you guys know.:mad:

It's silicone but it is coated with a hard glossy coating. I thought this coating would keep it from getting dirty like the silicone bumpers but it's not working to well.

What is the material on this case? Rubber?

I ordered a Linear and the material on that is plastic.

The polycarbonate frame was made to be stronger that the original. Also i think the vibrate switch cutout was cut to fit the 4S a little better.

would the NeoHybrid Snow appear bulkier/thicker than the Linear Crystal Series? since it has 2 layers and such, it appears it will add alot more bulk to the phone..?

It honestly doesn't any much bulk at all. It looks like there isn't even a case ot it at all and I forget it's on there sometimes. The linear looks to actually be thicker and more bulky in the hands from the reviews on Youtube.

Can you clean it with Magic Eraser? Or as someone posted in another thread, jewellery cleaner.

Nice Pics
Did you order it off their site or off ebay??
Their website.
really nice fotoz, i ve ordered the same for my white i4 , now i hope it comes soon from the post!
How does it feel generally? are u satisfied?:)

A bit slippery at first but it's fine now. Maybe because I'm still new to the bumper-style case and I'm not use to it. I'm very satisfied overall :D

Does anyone know if these have the same problem with jeans as the white bumpers? I got a white bumper the other day and it got all blue because of my jeans. I swapped it out and the new one was blue again after just a few days of use.

Magic eraser will make things worse. It will take the stain out but it will also roughen up the surface of the bumper making it more susceptible to staining and grabbing dirt. I contact SGP on Facebook and they told me to contact their customer service because it shouldn't be doing this. I may have gotten a faulty one or something.

I haven't tried the jewelry cleaner though.

i have tried on my Snow Satin Silver for a few days and i'm pretty satisfied, here are my opinions:

+ very good drop protection with the silicon all-round
+ silicon has a slight 'sticky' feel, so phone does not slide-off tables, good grip too
+ sleek and smooth look all round the edges of the phone (no lines/ connections, unlike the linear series)
+ buttons (power and volume) are very accessible
+ colour is awesome match to the white iphone

- white silicon is not seamless and perfect (mine has some imperfections like minor dents and dirt specks)
- offer no protection to back of phone/camera lens (probability of scratching camera lens on uneven/curved surfaces is high, unlike the linear backplates) (anyone has a solution to this?)

i do have the white leather skinguard, however when i put it on the back it somehow doesnt look as nice, and its so thin it does not solve the protection issue for camera lens.. anyone has managed to solved this issue?

this is just my experience and opinions, subjected to personal preferences and dislikes, just sharing. :)
