I just received my NEO and it's great (especially NDEF and possibility to authenticate ssh sessions with it)!
However it looks like it's made of some softer plastic and I'm a bit concerned about it durability.
This picture shows dents that appeared just after one day of using (bottom one is due to attaching soft key ring):

I really hope it will last

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes - the NEO is made with a different type of plastic in an overall effort to improve the look and feel (not for cost reasons - the material is more expensive). Final decisions on this are not made, but we do believe the new plastic has some clear benefits compared with the one used in the standard Yubikey, although it is not quite as hard.

The plastic is still very tough compared with most commercial products - it will take a fair amount of violence to break it through the key chain hole.

But for sure - if you see any signs of wear-and-tear that is disturbing, please let us know.

Best regards,
