I still have no scratches with the Neo Hybrid case. Changed to my backup battery this morning.

Hi all,
I know this has been brought up here and on other forums lately and I kinda thought that those effected maybe in some way were careless with their Note 4, now I can officially side with those claiming their Spigen cases scratched the beveled edges of their Note 4.
I just took my Capsule case off to change SD cards and was shocked by the damage to the edge of my VERY pampered Note 4, it is lightly and heavily scratched around the entire phone, both sides and the top and bottom.
Never again will I buy Spigen
I've yet to even receive my note yet, but logic is telling me that any case could potentially do this, and that the blame lies in the phone's design. I hope I'm wrong. I do plan to use my phone naked some of the time, but I like using a generic tpu case when I'm busy at work and needed to put my phone down in random places while I'm doing my tech support runs. I'll probably stick to naked with extra TLC until I hear more anecdotal evidence either way.

Nope, it depends on the type of case. I use to buy and sell phones and it never failed that almost any type of hard case is gonna damage your phine, especially if it has metal edges like the old iPhones s. I never ever buy hard cases to put on my phone. I don't even know about the case in question but can guess it's a hard case.

Been rocking the Spigen Neo Hybrid since day one. Multiple (2-3) battery swaps per day.. No scratching on my N4. I in fact highly recommend this case. Especially if bought from Amazon. It was $17.99 there and $30.00 on eBay.. Great case.. Looks good and adds little the the devices footprint..
Carved in place by my Note 4.
I own the capsule case for my note 4 and have just taken it off to find light scratches all the way down both sides of the metal frame on my phone. I bought this case because I owned the spigen bounce case for my note 3 and thought it was great. I was however already looking for a new case because the capsule case picks up marks far too easily but after noticing this its now going straight in the bin. Seems hard to believe but it has to be the sharp lip on the inside edge of he case causing the problem. I was tempted to get the metal neo hybrid but i've read in a few places that the frame weakens phone signal and after this problem im now questioning whether to ever touch another spigen case again
just get a uag case. its kinda of bulky and it scratches it (very minimal) but i beleve that when i drop this phone with the uag case on it it will have no damage
Strangely enough I spent a long time with a UAG case on my note 3, I only went to the spigen bounce not long before I moved to note 4. chances are ill end up back with them now spigen have taken a shotgun to their chances of retaining my custom. I contacted spigens ebay store here in the UK and they said the metal neo hybrids can cause signal drop 'in rural town area'. To me its a case of either it does or doesn't, so all they've done there is politely said 'Yeah we didn't design the case very well and it does cause a drop in signal, but we're selling it anyway'. My only positive is that i'm confident taking phones to pieces so in 6-8 months ill end up just ordering a new metal bezel and swapping the old one
When I use to have an iPhone or my GS4 and now my Note 4. I have always used Otterbox Defender case. Why people bash Otterbox is beyond me. Its the best!I've used nothing but Otterbox commuter cases since picking up my Note 4 in November. Pristine shape still!

maybe its me but i just dont see why people care about scratches on the sides or back of a phone. especially when its gonna be in a case any way. its just a phone, use it !
