Different. Can't say I think those would provide much protection and I wonder if they have any kind of cushioning on the inside to prevent the metal of the bumper from scratching on the metal of the phone itself...

There are a lot of reports being made about regular cases creating scratches on the Note 4 frame. I can only imagine what would happen with a metal on metal situation.

No scratches on mine. Using Neo-Hybrid Gun Metal Color. As long as you put it in the TPU first before putting the bumper on.

Good to know. I am using the Neo on my Note 3 and it is still in mint condition.

I used it on my Gnote3 also. I loved it. Will use going forward. I do not like Otterbox anymore. Had Otterbox Defender on my Galaxy Nexus. Had a lot of issues with it. Belt Clip broke around 3 times and the rubber stretched all the time. No complaints about Neo-Hybrid case. I love it. When we had problems with the Verizon Neo-Hybrid cases the sent a Universal TPU out immediately. I will always be a customer of Spigen.

I'm using their glass screen protector as well. It was super easy to install with the Neo case on the phone. It made the protector line up perfectly.

How is signal, last time I bought an aluminum case and bumper for my note 2 the signal drop was too much for me to justify keeping it.

Ruby along with scratches, that's my main concern.

Also, the one with the back piece in the video makes it look like a big old iPhone. Not a fan.

Just received my lovemei bumper case for the Note 4 "not for the Verizon version, but I modified it, drilled a bigger hole for the left microphone hole". It keeps the Note 4 protected when dropped on any corner, and when placing on a table face down, not on the camera side, for $8 not too bad, adds no weight to the already big Note 4. They have 12 different colors available, Love Mei Aluminum Curved Metal Frame Bumper Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 eBay

I have been using this for jewelry for years now and it has worked wonders, it looks like it also works wonders for the sensitive to markings bezel on the Note 4, just dab a little on the provided sponge, then use some elbow grease and buff away the scuffs "not deep dings", then use some soft toilet paper or tissue to clean off the excess, job well done. The 2 ounce will last you a long long time.
