A video review done by AppReviewa.
I just don't like bulky cases but I have an issue with the thin snap-on cases that leave the top and bottom of my phone exposed. I mean I still wish to have a full coverage if I'm throwing on a case or I will just leave my phone naked.
Ultra Hybrid is the ONLY thin case that fulfills all my requirements and I have no complaints at all. I got the blue one but ya, I do wish there were more colors available too.
I also have the lte extended battery, I notice the pull back at the top, but buttons work well for me. I do notice a little pull back on the sides and a bit of "creaking" occasionally. I'm hoping they go away over time. The ultra hybrid looks like it's more like a one piece which I would like, but doesn't look like it would work with the lte version.

did you remove your back cover? If you take the hard shell apart from the silicon then apply the silicon first getting it perfect THEN apply the hard shell. you should be able to get it to look perfect.
I recently received the Soul Black case for the Verizon LTE version with an extended battery. It doesn't fit as everyone else explained. The volume buttons are always activated if the case is stretched to fit.
I have found that the case fits perfectly when the back door is removed, however I'm a little worried that dust will get into the casing near the camera (since it is completely exposed) if you take off the back cover.

There is only ONE way to fix the volume problem on the LTE devices. The volume rocker is about 3mm lower on the LTE vs the GSM version. The only solution to this problem is to take sand paper or a dremel and make it a little longer by shaving the bottom end of the volume rocker opening.
yes you must remove the back cover in order for this to fit. the other solution is to cut the silicon as seen in a different thread
I am guessing this case works better with GSM 2000 Extended battery and not the Verizon LTE extended battery, owner should make them for those phones as well
The sgp neo hybrid does have the same problem like in galaxy s2? I mean after one or two mothes getting suggy cause of the temprature? I had the neo hybrid in my s2 and after one and a half month the case lost the strech and became suggy. Now i have the nexus and i'm thinking if it's going to be the same. Do you think the ultra hybrid maybe is better?

i have the neo hybrid and after one month usage,there's a gap in the silicon case because of the heat.
now i have to use double tape to repair the gap
$27 and in 1 month it's already made me upset

Yeap exactly the same problem pal. After one and a half month my neo hybrid because of the hot temprature became so ugly and suggy at the back place where the camera is in my s2. Now i bought the case mate tough for my nexus and i can say that i'm very satisfied with the protection it gives me but its little thick so i'm thinking to buy the ultra hubrid but how is gonna be the protection with that case?

What's your experience with this screen protector? Peeling? How about the coverage?
Thanks for your support

saggy too
Ditto for the sagging for me.
Big shame as it's a lovely looking case - and not cheap!

No sagging or button problems here yet. But the misfitting on the top still bothers me. I tried taking off the back cover but it didn't help at all.
We need to petition them for a lte compatible ultra hybrid.

Count me in for the sagging too. Like others have said, the area around the camera has become less snug and now pops up a bit to show a gap between the rubber material and the phone. I've been trying to apply and reapply the case but to no avail. I've tried using double sided tape as well but it just seems to pop back up over time.
It's fairly frustrating considering the cost of the case and the fact that it looks so good. Not sure if this issue is a deal breaker but I'm definitely disappointed. This will be the last Neo Hybrid case I ever get for my phones unless they use a different material in the future.
Now I'm looking at the Ultra Hybrid and not too thrilled about how it looks. Also hopes that it doesn't mess up the edge of my screen protector.

3Looks like the SGP Neo Hybrids are out soon, color choice Red, Yellow, Silver, Black and White.
I think I will get the black like my previous iPhone 4, and Galaxy S2. I LOVE the Neo Hybrids!
Might get a Ultra Capsule in Black too for that shiny metallic finish!
Just hope I can find it on eBay soon. Come on Korean sellers!!2
I ordered mine from shimshop on eBay on the 18th and it arrived today. Postage was very quick. I'm usually very (very) particular when it comes to cases, but I'm definitely happy with this one. It looks fantastic and every cut-out is perfectly aligned.
The main thing I was worried about before getting the case was whether or not my headphones would plug into the jack unobstructed. I've tested this out and it's a tight fit, but it does plug in fully. So for anyone else with that same concern there isn't anything to worry about.
EDIT: I've just tried a 1/4"->3.5mm adaptor and it does not fit. At all. If you plan on using 1/4" headphones with the 3.5mm adaptor you will need to take this case off first. I suspect this is the same for all cases though.

I'm not sure if anybody has answered this yet, but the rubber from the case sits slightly higher than the camera, so when you lay it on a table the camera won't be touching the surface. The same applies for the front of the case - there's a slightly raised edge around the glass that stops the screen from touching a flat surface when placed face-down.2Neo Hybrid=No for cdma
Ok so i just recieved my yellow neo-hybrid case in the mail. I'm gonna start off with it absolutly does not fit with an extended battery. With the standard battery it is a really tight fit. at the top the cover doesn't come up over the plastic at all, unless you pull on it and try to stretch it out a bit, but then when you put the plastic cover on the volume button gets pushed on and when u try to hit the power button it doesnt do anythin but lower your volume. I'm very dissapointed about the fit, the case looks VERY nice and feels great, but it doesn't fit good. I think it would fit better on the gsm model and not the verizon one. I really like this case, but looks like im gonna be returning it
heres a few pics......
