So I saw this case on eBay
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251365474715
Does anybody have insight on it's quality?
Worth it?

Wow. Seriously?
There are like 4 forums for this case...
Simple question. No harm done. Please find something more worthwhile to be annoyed about.
Thanks for the direction...:good:
I own this case. it's ok. the buttons are very flush and it's hard to distinguish if the phone is upside or not. and there is space on the headphone jack and USB cut out letting a lot of crap come in which sucks with a clear case. buy the slim armor it's a lot better I have the white one and love it

I have the ultra hybrid and the gaps at the bottom especially pissed me off letting in all that dust/dirt... Are the openings on the slim armor any better?

Thanks. That was something I was concerned with. The protective film on the inside, is it noticeable if you don't take it off?

So I just ordered this case of Ebay and I just got it a couple of days ago and here is a small video review and fitment guide of the case.
I think it seems to fit my phone well and the buttons are so easy to push.
Let me know what you think.

Nice review. I like dual layer cases. Does it attract lint?

Let me know how bulky that ends up being. Or if it adds a decent lip to the front of the phone. I was looking at some of the other Tridea models as well, but I want something that will keep the face of the phone off of the desk if I have it upside down.

My reasoning for staying away from either of the 2 tridea bumper cases is that the back is so exposed it looks like the camera lens would touch the surface of whatever you lay it on and get scratched

Is there any metal cases for the s4? Not aluminum but real metal
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
well...
first off aluminum is a real metal, so not sure what you mean by that. what metal would you like to see? I haven't seen one that is solid metal. http://www.droid-life.com/2013/04/29/buy-this-metal-back-cover-for-your-galaxy-s4-if-youre-tired-of-the-plastic/
there is one back cover.
the other one I know of is the spigen slim armor, But it is not all metal either. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BW6GIP2
If you have great signal where you're at... awesome, but if you struggle with signal, getting a metal case isn't a good idea from my experience. You may lose a bar or two. I have had more cases than I can count, ordering them like a kid in a candy store, except this time around with the S4. Having had issues before, if you do get one, I'd be interested in how it works for you because I wouldn't mind having a metal case myself.

The spigen has no metal whatsoever. It's polycarbonate and tpu.

My mistake then, I know previous spigen cases have had metal versions in the past. with a quick amazon search I saw it and just assumed.
Hey I actually found one.. It took me a while but they do have a metal case here's the link... http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung-...kommandant-samsung-galaxy-s4-metal-case-case/

Can't believe how nifty this case is. It has a hard back , flip cover and wake lock !! Yet it doesn't add much bulk, just how I like it. The ports are nice and easy to access. The case hugs the device nicely and its sleek looking. Unlike those leather crap around the bezel .
Overall I was planning to get a premium case but for this price I might just skip the premium case. Unless its reasonably priced.

Nice, I am still waiting for mine. Does the magnetic lock cover stay closed if you hold the tablet upside down?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yes! It's magnetic . The magnet also snap into the wake lock magnet as you fold in a stand as well so it doesn't unfold itself. Kinda smart...

Looks nice, I ordered the same one as well as the Poetic slimline.
When did you order yours? I was under the impression that they weren't being shipped until the 16th.
Now it says the 20th for shipping.
Look good. I ordered a white one. Yea I thought they were shipping out the 20th.
Oddly enough my portenzo hasn't arrived and said it was supposed to be done by the 9th. This thing really needs a case cause I'm so paranoid with it right now.

If you were worried you could always apply some clear packing tape over the metal part. That stuff sticks like...packing tape!
How sturdy is it when in stand form (both high and low). It it really stable?

I like this one better as it looks a bit more uniform and covers the side buttons and the bottom better. Poetic makes some nice cases

I can confirm it's sturdy enough because the magnets keep the cover in place so it doesn't unfold itself. It also folds both ways meaning you can have the inside of the cover showing or the black side showing.

From the nexus 10 review the moko is generally better build quality than poetic... Plus covering the side and bottom just makes it more difficult to use them... Disclaimer I have the moko for nexus 10... Its great for the price

I got mine for the same price but in red, doesn't ship until the 15th..
I haven't had any luck finding a case yet in the mall and the cases at the store were ugly. I hate shopping amazon bc the pics never show the real quality and protection. Just curious as to what people are using as far as brands thus far. I love the feel but I need to protect this $708 investment!

Diztronic high gloss clear TPU, probably the same one as rick. Works great.
I am using Tech21 smoke/grey one. Though it was my only choice, it fits just right and buttons aren't that hard to press. (Hint: press home button to wake the phone)

no it does not have all the functions nor does it use the back plate thing
It is just a filler till I get a better one
I just received my Spigen case - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCICXMU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Fitment is good, it adds minimal thickness to the device, and seems like it will add just enough protection to make me happy. I had a similar case on my Note II and was very happy.

Make sure to update us when you get it. I'm really thinking about that case, but $25 seems steep.
Hate buying these thin devices and bulking them up. Had a similar snap on polycarbonate on my last phone.

under 4 bucks, hopefully it'll last
decided to go with a cheap TPU for just under $2 shipped from ebay, I prefer TPU over the minimalist cases because it protects the top and bottom of the phone.

A little off topic, but care to share your lockscreen app/theme?
And I actually purchased that same Diztronic case thanks to your post in the other thread. I figured it was pretty simplistic enough to get me through as I wait for my neo hybrid.
