BTW - my mistake with the pics above.
They are of the Neo Hybrid.
This thread is about the Neo Hybrid EX - which is the bumper only.

Which back is that on the right, the silver one? I couldn't find that on SGP's site.
They both come with the same colored back - it's just the light throwing things off.
Gotcha. Thanks. It looks really nice and I almost went with one of those last night but at the last minute I ordered an Ultra Thin matte instead.
I (finally) received my Neo Hybrids in Satin Silver and Reventon Yellow today, Oct 18th. The order was placed Oct 1st and I never received any status update or shipment notification. They just showed up in a USPS pouch this afternoon.
Anyway, I like the case. It's slightly less bulky than the Apple bumper and the rubber lip isn't nearly as grippy nor as tall. So, it's more prone to slipping out of your hand and doesn't offer as much drop protection. But, it does come with front and back screen protectors so it beats the Apple bumper overall for protection. The buttons have a nice feel and work easily. And the Neo doesn't seem as prone to slipping or shifting on the phone as Apple's bumper.
With the Satin Silver case on, the iPhone 4 looks about as "naked" as anything I've seen except a clear skin. The yellow case gives the phone a "sporty" look like a piece of dive gear or a running watch.
I've put both cases on and taken them off with no problem. The Neo Hybrid EX doesn't seem as delicate or difficult to remove as some people have reported. With a little care, I don't see this case being a problem to swap out once in a while.
I think this is my new favorite case for daily wear at work. I'll still keep my Incipio NGP around for those times when a little more protection is in order.

That looks really awesome! If they had one with a hot pink "shell" and black rubber part I'd be all over it! The pastel pink one they have is just hideous.
How is the fit compared to an Apple bumper (assuming you used one at some point or another) Any likes/dislikes about it? Still waiting for my red one to come.
The red looks quite nice. I'd consider picking one up were it not for the fact that I already don't use the Yellow and Silver EX's I already have.
Wow, that's the best looking iPhone i have seen for a while!
What's the back you are using and how come the apple logo is red?
Looks like an SGP or Lucky Labs carbon fiber back and the colored logo is a sticker that comes with Lucky Labs Spectra Wraps
You're saying that the EX is the same as the shell that comes with the Neo Hybrid Matte? They look different to me. I actually emailed SGP to see if there's a way to just buy another outer shell for my Hybrid Matte but of course they said no. It would be nice to be able to switch up the look without spending another $27 for a whole new case, but of course SGP doesn't allow that.
thanks!
thats the black carbon fiber, as for the red apple logo, i previously bought a red wrap so i just used the apple logo that comes with it.
sorry, sold my apple bumper away the moment i got it, didnt have a chance to compare it with the neo hybrid ex.
I would tend to think so. Remember, the only difference between the EX and the Matte is the back. Of course, I will know for sure when the EX gets here.
I think you're right about that. I was thinking that the EX was just one piece (the plastic ring basically) but now that I look at it, it does look just like the Matte minus the back. It's kind of odd that it's more expensive though, even though it does come with a back screen protector as well. It's also way too expensive for me to buy an EX or another Matte in a different color just to be able to change up the look of my phone every now and then. I like the Satin Silver anyway.
The frames for the EX and the Matte are the same so they are interchangeable. Around a month ago I received the Matte Satin Silver in error and compared it to the EX I had before sending it back.
