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.

just got a email says that my item has been shipped
i guess it would take a week at least

How much protection do these actually give?
Are they just a skin to change the outer look of the phone?
And as for the screen protector........"squeeze out excess miosture"......no chance of damaging the phone?...guaranteed?

skinomi protector all really good ?

Is this better than the ZAGG Invisishield?

Your welcome,
Past experiences for USA > UK have been delivered between 2-3 days up to 2 weeks. :/
Regarding skinomi, I've no idea what type of delivery tarrif they use, - I'm hoping for no more than a week.
Just gotta wait, nothing to do but do so....

Just the screen protector, I was thinking about the full body coverage - but as I have the official hard case, & pouch aswell (choice ) - I just want the screen protection.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2

What's the texture of the skin skinomi like? Is it anything like the tacky feeling of the invisibleshield by Zagg? If so I'm most likely going to stay away from this because the screen will lose its glass like touch and swiping won't feel/operate as smoothly

The pics on the site look real. They also did a video review of the case with drop test....there was a pic of what looked to be genuine otterbox packaging. Hoping it's the real deal....they see to be a legit site. When I ordered mine today they had no stock of the blue, purple or green....only a crapload of black and 13 (make that 12 after my order lol) of the glacier.

Anyone bought from them before? Or found some useful reviews of the site? Only found a bunch of youtube videos by them.
I've ordered a case from Noreve already, but had an Otterbox on my HD2 and the protection was great... especially when you're drunk and likely to drop your phone :laugh:

Ok I bought myself one. Looks like it will be a cool case especially since you can use the holster as a kick stand.

That was a selling point for me as well. I love my ballistic sg maxx, particularly due to the less bulky holster....so it will probably be my go 2 when leaving the house. When hanging at the house I will make good use of the kickstand feature on the otter holster. My only wish would be that it could be used in portrait mode. I had an otter on my last phone and NEVER knew it had a kickstand until a few days ago. :banghead:
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

Does this have a belt clip (deal breaker for me)? Also, how is the screen protector? Do you have to use it? Thanks.

Yes, it comes with a belt clip. It's a separate holster that stays on your belt and the phone clips into it. It can also be used as a kickstand if you take it off your belt and 'lock' the clip open.
If it's anything like the HD2 Otterbox the screen protector is good, but mine didn't hold up well to repeatedly removing the phone from the case, it developed blotchy parts where it was sticking right to the screen and other parts weren't. Eventually I removed the screen protector (it's not designed to be removable, so you can't put it back in if you do remove it).

dang. That is a good deal. I bought a Glacier one from Amazon yesterday for $35 I think. Im kind of nervous if the case is legit though...
This is the one I bought, anyone buy from "ITX Wireless" before?
NEVERMIND: I cant post links yet, but seller is ITX Wireless on Amazon, hopefully its real.

Thanks OP for the link! Just bought myself the Glacier to go along with my white SGS3.

Bought! Thanks, nice deal. I just happened to break my case today unfortunately...so this worked out well. Went with Glacier.

Thanks for posting this excellent deal. I've used Smartphonepedia.com recently. I ordered my Galaxy S3 Body Glover tpu case from them. It arrived extremely fast and if the case is knockoff, I honestly couldn't tell. It came in retail packaging and the product shows no signs of being 'cheap' or 'knockoff'.
I definitely did not hesitate on taking advantage of this deal. I ordered the glacier colored case and even though it's on back order, i'm perfectly fine with waiting considering the cost savings and besides my Body Glove case from this company is holding me over just fine. Thanks for this find again!

Says available August 9th. Not bad for $5 as a temp case, but by then I'd expect to have a real case.
I've used Poetic brand and they aren't bad, but this version is the bottom feeder. Even at $5 it is a waste of money. IMO.

Not too familiar with amazon. It says it ships August 23, what's the chances of getting screwed, after that time are you still able to dispute purchases?

not to **** on the thread, but that looks like really poorly constructed leather.
instead of spending money on a case, this time i just spent $60 on a squaretrade accident warranty policy. I think the new nexus 7 is gorgeous and I couldn't bear to keep it behind a case.

Opinions! A few bucks for a cheap case will suffice for many until quality cases appear......at least for me.

I like the look and function of the poetic slim case, but can't wait until the 23rd for it to come in stock.
I'm thinking of just ponying up the extra for the Asus sleeve. I like the thought of having it protected in transport but using it bare. Using it at a stand is nice too.

I'd make sure that fits before you buy it. The Description doesn't list the new n7 which is Taller than the original. That is just a generic 7" tablet case made by Asus.

Replica official Nexus 4 Bumper for Nexus 5

I found this on Amazon, it's a Nexus 5 bumper, that's a replica of the official Nexus 4 bumper:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JBU27WO
Has anyone here tried this case yet?

If it wasn't $23 I would go for it. That's too expensive for a bumper.

Looks awesome. I would certainly buy it, but since its a replica, its not worth the $20 to produce hence it wont last as long as I would like it to.

Overprice. Another month and it gonna be around $10

Its all over aliexpress for much cheaper. Like $3.50 to $15 depending on the seller and how many you buy. There do seem to be different kinds of bumpers on there for the nexus 5, and the nexus 4 clone is the more expensive one.

Looks like the price has gone down to $12.99 before shipping now. Was going to order one from Aliexpress, but maybe I'll get this one now.

The $3.50 one is a different style bumper. The Nexus 4 lookalike bumper is around $11-13.

I don't think replicas are worth being over $10 before shipping. With it being a bumper and not a case, even more so.
For me, $8 - $9 with shipping included is probably the highest I'd go.

I got this in the mail from the amazon seller today. I'm very impressed with it. The buttons feel great and the texture on the rubbery parts is very grippy.
