Comparing neo hybrid with ultra hybrid:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Here are some points for those who are deciding between both:
- Both feels about the same size, a bit bulky but not seriously bulky. Without the casing I can use the phone with 1 hand without a problem but with the casing (either neo or hybrid) its kinda hard for me to use with 1 hand.
- Neo hybrid has a dedicated buttons that comes in direct contact to the nexus buttons. This gives a better tactile feedback compare to ultra hybrid.
- Ultra hybrid is cheaper + free screen protector compare to neo hybrid which cost more without a free screen protector.
- Although ultra hybrid has a transparent back, it gets dirty with fingerprints fast so beware if you hate fingerprints.
- Ultra hybrid material feels much thicker thus looking like its offering better protection but neo hybrid isnt that bad either. The TPU material might be a bit thinner but the plastic bezel goes around it so its isnt that bad.
- Neo hybrid feels sexier imo, but that depends on individual.
Reason why I bought neo hybrid rather than keep using my ultra hybrid is because I wanted to get a better tactile feedback on the phone buttons & also the ultra hybrid is kinda slippery to my hands. I was hoping neo hybrid would give me a better grip but thats not the case either, its back is made of a very smooth TPU material & it slides off my hand as easily as ultra hybrid.
Thanks for the review. I feel like getting ultra hybrid too. What do you say? ur using neo now... will u get back to ultra? or just keep on using neo. For me if I like them both equally is when I will use them both... so thinking whether to get ultra or will it be a waste of money for me. hmm.
