Hey guys, been mulling over cases for the past few days. Already have the CrazyonDigital case and Elago SlimFit case but wanted something that is a little rugged and something that had a holster. I found the following on Ebay that had both for a good price:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170882937468
Anyone tried this case? It is only $15 so it is a good bit below the Seido and Otterbox which offer a rugged case with a holster. Hopefully it will do the trick.
I got this recently. Well worth the money in my opinion. Make the jump and buy it. No regrets for me.

Good deal. How long did it take yours to ship to you? Also, does it feel sturdy?
Thanks for responding!
I'm in Asia. Took about 2 weeks to reach from the states. It's really sturdy in my opinion.

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).

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.
Spigen IS SGP just another name

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.

I know a lot of us has been looking for a waterproof shockproof dustproof snow proof case for our s3. Lifeproof has failed to deliver same goes for with otterbox, they are taking for ever. I found one that is available in a few hours. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/enflux/agilis-series-premium-galaxy-s3-case check it out. And it is cheaper than otterbox.
100k in 52 hours yea i highly doubt it'll reach its goal. Best of luck though.

this looks like an excellent case... I would buy 2 units (for me and the wife) if they made it.... they should also consider the back to be thin to be compatible with wireless charging....

In my situation cautious yes. I work in a really dusty enviroment and I use the case only in the workplace. And I got my earlier Sony's screen broken because of no case in the workplace....
I don't use this case in my freetime. It's just too bulky to have in your pocket and phone is a little more difficult to use.
There's couple disadvantages in the case:
- you can't press the powerbutton on the rightside. It's blocked because the hinges of the case are on the right side.
- I have had problems with the voice. I need to take the phone out of the case when talking with someone because they can't hear almost at all for some reason. I have not researched do anyone else have this problem and can I do something for it
I have also a bike clip for the case. I have not tested it yet (I have some plans to use the phone as a cycling computer in the summer time).
I'm little struct between this or Griffin Survivor (I have them both). Griffin Survivor is much better in almost every way (belt clip in Griffin case is really good) if you don't need water proofness but it's much harder to put the phone to the case and take if off.
Got this case to use on my bike: http://www.topeak.com/products/bags/smartphone_drybag_5_bk
Edit: don't mind my sig, got a S3 now.

Would an s3 with extended battery fit in this case, im already looking for quite a while for something like this but never realy wanted to order one because i am worried that it would not fit for extended batteries
Do these waterproof cases float? If no, what kind of depths can they handle? (I assume 1m)
I'm waiting for the otter armor.

I hate you.
Nah, not really. I ordered from Amazon on Friday for $99, found it in my local Best Buy for the same price, and picked it up locally for around $104. But hey, it's a good case. Unless you need a kickstand, it's probably a better deal than the iBLASON case-- especially after the price drop.
The I-Blason case is a better deal.

You know, I really should have remembered that. Thanks for reminding me; I'll give it a shot when I go into work tomorrow. I checked the program details online, but is there anything in particular you've found helpful when doing price matches?

Just make sure the price hasn't changed before you go, Amazon changes prices daily based on how much they sell the product.

Theres a whole other thread here about it. Theres also a few professional reviews I think, www.google.com
I ordered one today, but sadly the discounted one through MobileCityOnline was out of stock so I paid the regular price from Amazon.com, although I didn't get hit with sales tax and will have it tomorrow via Amazon Prime so its a trade off.

Got it. They'll only price match against competitors at time of purchase, but I pointed out that if that were the case then I'd just return it and repurchase, and the rep gave me the discount.

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.
