Spigen Neo Hybrid EX Designed for Slim iPhone 5S Case (2013) - Champagne Gold

I've had this for almost a month now, and it works perfect! It fits great and looks awesome with the gold color!When I was looking for a case for my new iPhone I was looking for days. I wanted it to protect as good as possible without disturbing the looks of the phone, and perhaps even improve it! After reading and watching a lot reviews like you guys here on Amazon and other sites, I finally decided to go with this one. Here are the reasons why:*I can see the whole phone, and the gold on the sides are just replaced with the gold on the case - which almost is a perfect match!*The soft part has a rim that protects the phone all the way around! It also absorbs shocks and gives you a much better grip!*The hard plastic makes it stay in place and not move like most of the other bumper cases do.These requisites i had were all fulfilled, and that's why I give it a 5 out of 5!But before I bought it I was hesitating a bit because a lot of people was saying that it fell off all the time, but I haven't had that problem myself at least. But I guess that if you take it on and off all the time it maybe can get a bit sloppy. And that leads me to why i'm saying that it's not a "strong 5".When I plug it in the speakers at home i have to take it of, and even thou it's easy to take off and on it gets kinda lose for a while, until it gets in the perfect position. For me I have no problem with that at all, but others might.Finally I would like to add that it actually fits so well with the phone that several of my friends haven't even understand that there is a case on it! If you want your phone to look great and give it good protection at the same time, this is the perfect compromise as I see it.

Bought this for the same reason as many; to protect my gold 5s without hindering its beautiful appearance. The protection is what one would expect from a bumper case, however, the solid outer "frame" does indeed add a second level of protection from drops...Pros:~Color matches spot-on with Apple's "Champagne Gold"~Comfortable in-hand and in-pocket, does not add excessive bulk to the unit.~Does not hinder access to Lightning Charger port.CONS:~Does NOT hug the phone as snug as one would anticipate, on the longer sides especially. Could be improved in strengthening the "frame" band.~Does NOT fit any BOSE headphone jacks without modification. The only thing keeping me from returning this case were my steady hands and a small, sharp blade to increase the diameter of the hole. Even still, the headphone plug needs some twisting encouragement to make it fit in as it should.~3 piece rear-protector included is frustrating to line up. After several months of use dirt/dust/etc will eventually find its way into the small nooks and crannies between the pieces of the protectors, subsequently forcing them apart.All-in-all this case is just okay, and I feel that I may be using this as a placeholder until I find something more suitable. Many case manufacturers omit what headphones are compatible with their units, an omission ultimately causing for their shortcomings. As an audiophile as well, I use quality headphones to listen to music as well as the included microphone features to receive incoming calls and the like. Hopefully moving into the future Spigen will either allow their cases to be more widely accepted with many headphone types or will clarify the aforementioned compatibility issues. Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed with the quality of this product.

I have the gold iPhone and it's so pretty I didn't want the whole thing covered. I thought this case looked perfect and it does, the color is an exact match, clean and sleek. The problem is my car charger and some headphones don't fit the plug in. Or I should say the case plug in hole doesn't allow those items to plug in. So I have to keep removing case and it stretched out. It now falls off , I will be returning this.

Not a fan. The quality of materials actually seems really good and the look is great.But the plastic ring does not fit tight enough on the silicone bumper, and thus slips off constantly. The concept is good, just needs a little tweaking to be functional for everyday use. Either a tight plastic ring, or deeper channel in the silicone, or both? Not recommended as is.

My case came in the mail pretty quickly. Was not sure what I was going to get. Have been hearing that Amazon has been buying nock-off versions that look the same but are of poor quality. Take a look on you tube, there are Spigen reviews. I did get the official version though and it has been holding up well. The case tends to slip off when pulling out of my front jeans pocket. A minor inconvenience. Looks great. Just like not having a case at all. Gives you a better, non-slip grip and edge to edge protection. Have had this case for over a month and pretty satisfied. Would recommend to my friends. Not sure if it was my fault or a quality issue but the Teflon that holds the bumper tore. Can barely see it but I know it is there. Hope this review helps.
