Has anyone seen one of these for other devices in person? I am just curious as to the quality and how well the different viewing angles work when touching the screen. I saw a video for the new iPad smart cover and when someone tapped the screen, the thing nearly flipped over.

I 'fourth' that! It just needs to come now...ugh!

I have 2 of them on iPads. They work great and the quality is great. They're not as nice looking as some cases but I can live with that because the functionality is so good. I preordered one for my Xoom and am anxiously waiting!

I was feelin' antsy yesterday and shot them an email asking if they had any specifies dates, this is what I received back:
"Thank you for your email. Unfortunately we are not specific on a time frame for the arrival of the cases, but we are expecting them by the end of the month. We have to take into consideration shipping and customs clearance times which can vary. For those who pre-ordered, their case will ship the same day we receive the delivery of the cases. Please let me know if you need anything further."
Hope that helps

I sent them an email yesterday as well and got the same exact response. I was really hoping they would ship out sometime this week.

Xo skins holiday discount (code included)

Hey all. I got emailed a 50% discount from xo skins followed by another email saying that some had problems with the code and provided a new one, this leads me to believe its generic and should work for everyone.

Nice, the code I found was just on Facebook for 40% I just used the code and got a Aqua Dry Bag and a few micro fiber cloths

Thanks for the heads up. I picked up a pair (for me and the gf) since people seem pretty happy with these..

How it costs $2.80 to mail an envelope I'll never know.
Guess they are padding profits by charging a ton for a stamp.

It's not an envelope, they also send solution, and list the package weight at 0.5 pounds. $2.80 seems about right if you tried to mail it yourself.

Ah, didn't realize that. Guess I'm spoiled by mostly free shipping online.
Bought one anyway. $9 shipped. Hard to complain about that.

What's the difference between the regular screen protector and the case fit one?

I have an Active Combo and it's pretty decent. However, Seidio is coming out with an Active Extended Combo to go with their Innocell 3500 mAh battery. Battery, new back plate, Active Extended Combo is a lot of money though.

Just received my active combo. Best 9.99 I've spent. It's real!

Hello,
I am so sorry for the delay. I just checked on your order and it looks like there was a discrepancy with our inventory system. We've been experiencing some technical difficulties recently, where items that aren't available were being re-listed. I do apologize and feel terrible about this. I went ahead and cancelled the order for you. I did not want you to wait any longer. The item did not have an estimated date of arrival. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I will be more than happy to help Thanks and have a wonderful day!

that's bull crap, they're still listed as in-stock, except the price has gone up.. sounds to me like they don't want to honor the price. i'd probably leave them negative feedback.

Buy.com is listing it as available at a higher price but that is from a different seller on Buy.com. This seller has not shown it as in stock (at any price) since shortly after the OP.
Edit: that was the case the other day. Now I see that Cellbatt is listing this case as being available... for $43.95.

Anyone else get this. I ordered one and received it already. I guess they had price mistake and it took a while to catch it.

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.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

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.

LG Hardshell

I'm seeing a few references to what looks like an official LG hardshell case for Nexus 5. Same design on the back as the phone and possibly the same material.
http://ca.shopandroid.com/lg-hardshell-black/4A123A16462.htm
http://www.amazon.ca/LG-AAA75187801-Hardshell-Nexus-Black/dp/B00GGL4XNC

Could be nice, always prefer slim shell cases over bulky ones (although I've just ordered the LG Bumper Case to come with my Nexus 5)

Actually looks the exact same as the "LG Shield " case that Bell has in stock for $20. http://www.bell.ca/Mobility/Accessories
Available in matte white or matte black.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Awesome, looking forward to the review. I was thinking of jumping on the white as well. I'm just concerned with it being a matte finish.
Anything that isn't black with a matte finish tends to stain easily which is probably one of the reasons why the white Nexus 5 uses a different material. I'm hoping that isn't the case with yours, so I can pick one up!

Looks just like the quick cover, but without the cover.
Honestly, the recessed button would annoy me if it weren't for the cover waking the screen. Its not all that easy to press. Other than that it seems like a great case.

I interpreted it as "we don't have them in stock yet". It was pure luck that I happened to be browsing the Bell site for N5 accessories.
I'll post here when I get an update.

Hope these come out in the UK, would be nice to have something slimmer than the bumper case (which is nice btw)

Yeah I couldn't wait for your review! I ordered a white case from the bell mobility site.
We'll see if it's just pre-order or if I get it in a week.
