I'm thinking about getting the Spigen Neo Hybrid (SGP11120) and wondered if anyone could answer these questions.

1. People seem to be complaining about the difficulty in using the HRM with this case.
Would simply cutting away the material between the HRM and camera fix this issue? (yes I know it would void warranty etc).

2. If I were to buy the Choetech wireless charger kit http://www.amazon.com/CHOETECH-Wirel...dp/B00PUA06TA/
Would it work and charge with the case? And will the receiver fit into the case, it's 1.3mm thick. Or should I get a thinner receiver?

3. Car mounts: I'm thinking of buying this type of car mount clamping mechanism http://www.amazon.com/Aduro-Universa...dp/B008ALV0V4/ and using the phone in portrait orientation.
Not the actual mount displayed, but one that fits into a CD tray.
Would the sides of the case frame offer no grip and cause the phone to just slip down or would the grip of the clamp by sufficient?
Or should I be looking at mounts which have "feet" for the phone to rest on, instead of relying on just grip?
i.e. this type, even though it look big and ugly http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroov...dp/B004G1L52Q/

4. Does the frame of the case (the none metal version) cause any reception problems (cell and GPS)?

5. Is the back of the case "grippy". I've heard the "Verus Iron Shield" is more grippy, doesn't have the HRM problems, but the people say the frame looses reception.


Thank you for any help.

Just received my Spigen Neo Hybrid case for the HTC One M9 and I honestly think this is one of the best phone case investments I've made. The metallic colored buttons for the power and volume buttons, is slightly offset from the case for easy pressing. It also looks GORGEOUS.

After using it for only a few days I've really come to love this case, I've used plain silicone cases before (it didn't add weight, just added grip), Otterbox's, and just a plain plastic cover. This case is great to show off and has perfect cutouts for the camera, flash, and even a hole for the noise-cancelling microphone.

I've noticed that the textured back plate provides a great amount of grip. It also shows reflects the antenna bands that the HTC One likes to boast. It has this cool looking top side cover design for the IR Blaster. In addition, it has a slight lip for the front of the screen in case of accidental drops on the screen itself. I myself had a few to drink and dropped it on its face, I picked it up and not a single scratch or scuff on the case.

All in all, I've thoroughly enjoyed and will continue to enjoy this case, uploaded some pictures in case anybody is in the M9 case market...
