what is the difference between the old survivor case and the new hybrid case

I don't know. This is the only Griffin case I bought, and it's just okay to me. I like Otterbox much better. I suppose it's probably just user preference.

There are two main differences, the camera cover is easier to use, which is good, but the slot at the bottom of the phone does not allow accessory plugins any larger than the standard apple power supply. Apple sells a Belkin fm transmitter that connect via the power slot, I was not able to use it with the newer model case.

Here's an official response from Ubiquiti: "There was a redesign to the case, the original stock was plastic and newer stock is metal. That was the only design change, there is no difference in the internal hardware or the performance. The vendor might be willing to do a return for you, but we don't even have the metal units in RMA so I wouldn't be able to swap it for you. Moving forward, newer ERLs will have the metal case at the same price point. Hope that helps! Cheers, Austin" Source: http://community.ubnt.com/t5/Upcoming-Products/ERL-in-Metal-Casing/m-p/747558

The key ring loop is on the end of the capsule with the drive, not the case. The older Survivor has loops on both ends. This survivor is silver aluminum and not black. If you use the loop on the drive end, there is less of a chance you will loose the drive or leave it in the UBS. It cannot be changed or altered.I suffered a broken cap and Corsair will not replace it.

No, almost the same size. The benefit in longer life out weighs the small differences in size. The case has a mate finish with no texture.

I like the Survivor case better. The Otterbox stretched out every time you took it out of the case or even just through time. The flexible skin just wore too easily and stretched out through everyday use. The Survivor case's skin isn't made of the same material. This skin seems much more durable and I've taken it out of the case several times to use in an armband and it has shown no signs of stretching. I loved the Otterbox, but I tend to like my Survivor case MUCH better. I would say the only drawback for most people would be the flap that covers the camera lens. It's kind of a pain, but it will keep it clean and free of dirt and debris. I like the Survivor case better.

I don't know about the old version. The new one I Purchased broke In two days. The removeable base latches broke and plastic cracked.

Dear CEG23: Sure thing, new version of this case will be better than the old version from various aspects. And be assured we'll definitely send you the new version one once it's available. Thank you for your patience. Best regards Customer service Laptopmate

I do not know what the hybrid means. Mine came in a genuine Otterbox case and was identical to my first otterbox except my first one was all black and this one is pink and purple. I cannot tell any difference in the two and I ordered my first one directly from Otterbox and my recent one through Amazon.

The new one seems to have a bunch of different backing options, this is just white. Frankly if you are like 99% of folks you have a cover so doesn't matter. From what I recall the gen 2 has higher chip speeds, functionality... but we don't have one. I can say my 15 year old loves the gen 1 - developer edition. Has not noticed nor complained about this being slow in any way - so this one is totally good. And much cheaper as I recall. And unlocked / no bloatware (which means it can be faster even with a slower chip). Not having the Gen 2 its hard to say its worse than this - its probably better but this is great, particularly for the price.

The Slim Armour S is a newer version, a better-fitting case than the Slim Armour. I have had both and the older version had a couple of small gaps that the newer S does not have. The S fits great and looks even better!

Yup. I've had both and prefer this one - way smaller/sleeker. You pay more for the minimalism and the fact it's a newer product. However, consider my opinion in that I stick with a single case that I really like & don't change them, so the extra $$$ is worth it to me for my one & only.

I do not have direct experience with the protector, but looking at the respective stat sheets on the two cases, it looks as if the Survivor is held o a more rigorous standard. On the survivor they quote more detail on dust and water resistance as well as a specific military grade drop standard. I hope that helps.

Full size. You can get the survivor case for the mini, but it must say specifically for the mini.

The camera is the same as the Hero3 so if you use the old case your camera can go just as deep as the original. the new case is smaller and not as strong as the original..

It's more like a hybrid of the two. It's made of rubber but feels hard like plastic. It doesn't snap in like a plastic case, or flimsy like the gel ones I've tried.

Because this case is discontinued. Also in my opinion, this case is better quality.
