Has anyone bought Sweet Armor gNote bumper ?

I was thinking of buying Sweet Armor gNote,
So, i want to know if anyone has one ??
Any comments are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Im kinda wondering the same.. thinking bout getting one. but want to see what others thought bout it first. outside of the high price, lol

Me too. It's hard to see exactly what they look like from the poorly focussed images on their web site. Also, I hear that there's a corner missing or a cuttout in the casing as if they were expecting the Galaxy Note to have an external antenna sticking out which would be off putting. I also heard someone saying there was a problem with the access to the head phones socket that needed fixing. Vwery tempted to buy but hesitant without a clearer picture.

Search function is great.

Fake SGP Neo Hybrid Color Series Case for only $14.39

I came across these fake SGP Neo Hybrid cases on eBay and purchased one for only $14.39 free shipping, I should be getting one in couple of days and post some pictures and maybe do a review. I contacted one of the buyers who already received the case about the quality, he replied back with the following.
(I did not realize it was fake, until i saw on the side "designed by spigen california". I had never heard of Sigen before, so i didn't know what to expect. Overall i'm impressed by the quality, only the white part is on top en bottom a little lose.. The case is definitely worth the money).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SGP-Neo-Hyb...392273?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e71bf7791
I received the case today and as promised I took some pictures, first two pictures were taken outside so you can see the actual color of the case, let me know if you have any question.

I was looking at these too. I was going to buy one but I go for the Ballistic instead.

My responses asking whether they were authorised resellers and if the case was genuine:
Dear:

Thanks

and
OK
I'll cancel it
Thanks

Seems like they're not even pretending they're real?

Yeah, definitely fakes. Also messaged one of the sellers who was honest and stated it was not genuine. However, will be interesting to see what the quality is like. Cheers.

So you ordered it? Please let us know how it is when you get it. I want a cheap one but will probably end up ordering from SGP directly

Should be delivered by Thursday, I will check it out and report on the volume rocker and power buttons.

I could get them for less than USD 5, the quality looks good, you probably can tell them aprt if next to each other.

There are similar ones being sold with a black back as well. You can see them here:

Sorry but I don't think those are very similar at all. SPG is TPU with PC border....That case is silicone, PC back, and ugly.

Lifeproof Case on eBay?

I've seen a bunch of threads regarding that the Lifeproof cases aren't out yet... But on eBay there are a few cases for sale. I'm guessing these are fake but the pictures look pretty legit. Any experience with these? I'm still new so I can't post links but if you type in "S3 Lifeproof" on eBay it should pop up.

Their fake.

Yeah I searched last night too. They showed up, but totally fake..

I was about to start a thread and remembered there already was one. So since this thread I've noticed a large increase in the number of fake lifeproof's, I'm assuming some company in china got the specs and started making replicas. Looks like the prices are in the $40 to $50 range, so who's going to be the guinea pig and buy one? Part of me wants to try it since the real lifeproof cases cost $80, but another part of me thinks that its stupid to spend $50 on something that could be complete crap. Especially if it ships from china or hong kong, if I don't like it I'd have to pay the shipping all the way back. Plus I'd have to wait 3 weeks just to get it and possibly another 3 weeks to get the refund........
Anybody want to sponsor me? I'll put a big pictorial and detailed review?:laugh:

LifeProof
I'll be ordering one from a US Seller for a slightly higher markup. I can post a video review on Youtube, and here as well. I'll get it some time next week, as I'll probably order it with my birthday money or when my paycheck comes in. And hey, if you want to push $5 towards the cause, I wouldn't be opposed They look exactly like the iPhone version, even down to the packaging and colors available. one seller even mentioned that they aren't LifeProof branded, but had a 1 month return/refund/warrenty. In addition, Paypal and my bank offer a certain amount of time to make sure a product actually works (3 or 6 months, I think). I'm game for giving it a shot!
I imagine that the install would be the same as for an iPhone... and I'd want to check the seals BEFORE installing my phone... that'd be really sad.

Found it but it's not on lifeproof website.

Right, that's the whole point of this entire thread. These are FAKE or replicas or whatever you want to call them, that's why this thread got started. That's why they only cost $40 to $50 dollars. That's why some of them are from CHINA. I think I'll probably end up buying one of these once I find a white one that's being sold here in the US. I know they all are probably being made in the same place in Hong Kong or somewhere but I don't see any reason to order something and wait for a month for it to get here.

Being that lifeproof has yet to release the case, what's the alternative? If you need protection a fake case is better than nothing.

I didn't even know this one existed. I'll have to look into it. I take it you're happy with the case? Is touch sensitivity okay? I had the OBEX for a week and hated it. I like to five and would like to have something I can take on the boat with me that I don't have to worry about getting banned around or splashed. I have no intentions of actually taking it into the water.

Fake Element Eclipse case

Has anyone bought from aliexpress this (Fake) case? I just saw it from their website, and I think Im not allowed to post links so go ahead guys search @ aliexpress.

Isn't it the one being discussed here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43033741

I bought one and it's very nice. Users in the original thread with the original said the fake one is just as good as the original or better.

There is another site, not ali-express selling now those fake cases. a friend of mine got one from there and looks exactly as the original. since advertising is not allowed, PM me if you want me to send you the address (i hope it's ok, i don't work for it or something).

I have the fake case. It is great. The only gripe i have is when I hold it and rest my pinky on the bottom, the metal part is sharp, and it hurts.

Seriously weird case for the S3

I offer this with no comments except that someone actually had to come up with it.
