So it had only been a week since I had got myself a shiny new iPhone 5, and to my horror, I accidentally dropped it. The result – I managed to crack 3 corners of my new phone. It’s the worst feeling when you damage a new gadget. The first thing to do after purchasing a new gizmo should be to get a protective casing/cover. Though I got a lil late in getting one, I finally treated my iPhone 5 to the Spigen SGP Neo Hybrid EX case.
The Spigen SGP Neo Hybrid EX for the iPhone 5 is basically a bumper case. What this means is that even with this case on, you’re still able to view the gorgeous back of the iPhone 5. The Spigen Neo offers good protection and has an anti-shock layer as well. The case snugs to the phone nicely and doesn’t put on too much weight. Though it does add some width, holding the phone doesn’t seem uncomfortable.
The case is well built for the iPhone 5. You’ll experience no problem pressing the power or the volume buttons. The only issue is that though you’re able to plug-in the headphone jack easily, the same is not possible for an aux cable. The hole in the casing is too small to plug-in an aux cable. That being said, there’s no other design problem as such.
This Spigen iPhone 5 case comes in 2 colours – White and Yellow/Black. I got the white one for my white iPhone 5. It’s a simple white bumper case, nothing flashy or trendy, just something decent and sober. On the other hand, the yellow/black one looks a little trendier, but will suit the black version of the phone.
Also included in the bundle is an ultra clear screen protector and a 3 piece back protective film. There are also three different home button protectors: white, black and orange, to allow for customization. So it’s a complete protection package.
Available for $30.99, this bumper case is a little pricey for sure, but if you’re someone who doesn’t mind spending a few extra bucks, or if you want the Spigen quality and brand name and the bundled protectors, this is the thing for you.
