I received mine as well. I really love it and love that it comes with front and back protector. I've had no issues using the charger.
Took a picture of the back protector, just in case anyone was interested. It comes in 3 different parts. The 2 smaller ones are the glass part, and the bigger part is the middle aluminum part. I really like how they maintain the feel of the back by making the 2 smaller ones glossy and the middle part kinda matte.

I actually purchased mine from amazon but the link's not there anymore. I guess they sold out.

I'm not sure I like the silicone part being black on a white iPhone.
I would think they would make a white one as well too keep it more balanced.
Seems like too many diff colors. On a black phone it sure looks nice but white?
I was planning on getting the lime green one when it comes out but now I am wondering how that would look...white iPhone, black rim, green bumper.
See what I mean?

You can wait for the snow series then. Those come with the white silicon piece.

Thanks for the information. I can't wait for the gunmetal one to come out! I had an iPhone 4s with a black and then red apple bumper. I just got a new iPhone 5 and bought a gray/silver metallic incase slider to protect it for now.
But, man this two piece sgp bumper looks like an awesome bumper and it looks like it won't scratch the iPhone's band like it did on my 4s. Which is also awesome.
The only thing is that the apple bumper had metal buttons that felt exactly like it was the real button (no mushyness).
I have two questions. How is the feel of the phone in your hand with this bumper on? Is it tight ... it doesn't move around does it?
The other questions is how do the buttons feel compared to no case and compared to how the apple bumper case felt?

No problem! I would have gotten the snow series for my 5 (had it for the 4s) but the white silicon would stain from my raw denim. So at least for me I'd get the vivid series in gunmetal. I had a similar set up with my 4s; white 4s, black silicon, silver bumper and I liked it.
I got it because I wanted a back protector and this seemed like the only case that offered that, plus I get a front protector and bumper. Perhaps I'll purchase it in different colors once it becomes available
I really like the look of this case, and also now see that it's available here on eBay UK. I just can't warm to the Yellow though!!?
If this was all black/gun metal, I would've ordered this already.......

Carfull with that yellow edge it will get dirty and it will staind so bad from a ballpointer pen
Well, it looks like I waited too long, sold out on Amazon and Spigen sites. Will have to wait a few more days, but maybe I can get the color I really wanted.
So now rocking the iP5 naked, and man, it FEELS SO GOOD!!!!!...

I have been wanting this as well. I finally decided today, since it is a two piece design, to go ahead and get the yellow one.
SOLD OUT! Dang.
Since it is a two piece case, I wonder if in the future they will sell the pieces separately.
Id like to have yellow but maybe a black outside piece as well.
That would be cool if they will sell the pieces separate.
Looks to be a very nice case.

Is the black silicone bumper a tacky/soft material? I'm curious if dust sticks to it and if it makes it difficult to take in/out of the pocket.
I believe they will sell separately in the near future, at least they do it currently for the iPhone 4... http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...aps&field-keywords=spigen+neo+hybrid+iphone+4

Well, I checked back on Amazon, and showed that stock was replenished, they showed 13 in stock, but it ships from Spigen? So Spigen got 13 more somehow. Amyway, I ordered it along with an iOttie dash mount.
Yeah, amazon search normally sucks, in this case even more so because it just doesn't come up for some reason. But maybe that's a good thing for you...because nobody else seems to be able to find it either. I said 13 available yesterday, but it was actually 16. I bought 1, and so 15 still available right now...unless amazon screwed up and we really have to wait till October?
Here is the link : sorry not working so removed it
If that doesn't work, then use their search using this text:
SPIGEN SGP iPhone 5 Case Bumper Protection Cover [Neo Hybrid EX] [Reventon Yellow] / Front (1) Back (1) Free Steinheil Protector Films for AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, International Unlocked
Edit: link was not working but copy & paste above text into google search and it should be the first item. That should come up as a link into Amazon.

In for 1. Thanks for your help.
I actually ordered their Ultra Thin Case in matte black through Amazon but got an email notice that the case is being recalled due to "some problems during manufacturing" and a new case will be sent out Oct 9. But I've requested a cancellation for that order after seeing this case. Hopefully they'll come out with the other outer band colors soon, and that they sell them separately like they do with the 4/4S.
