I bought these on ebay for about $10 each. Sorry if the pics aren't the best. There's not a lot to say about them, they fit very well and I don't feel any give or looseness. The plastic quality is pretty good, and look much better in good light. For the money, I'd say they're definitely worth it, no doubt.

I got the red one and like you I was quite impressed. Very nice looking out of the box.
However the feel of the case is very slippery and difficult to hold. Not sure if the original is the same but I just could not get used to it. Went back to a cheap e-bay TPU case again after a few days.
Can you...
....Give me a link to this store. I'll definitely buy one of these. :highfive:
EDIT: to ebay.co.uk
Any experience with the peeling issue? I'm asking everywhere, i would buy this one instantly, but the peeling issue keeps me from that
Thank you for the review
Can you please add a pic with the bumper mounted? I've ordered the yellow one from Hong Kong and I'm waiting for its arrival.

Yeah, it's red-ish. I have a red nexus, so it doesn't bother me.

I completely agree. It's pretty slippery, but good looking. I'm just going to use it once in a while when I go out and want a different look. But for most days I'm going to stick to my Ringke Fusion Crystal View case. It has very tacky sides and I never feel likes it's going to slip out of my hands. But like I said, the replica bumper cases do look good. For what I paid, it's adequate.

I also got the grey one but was able to use it only for a few weeks before there was quite bad dis-colouration on the sides/edges and back. Makes it look very dingy.
That along with how slippery it was makes it something I would not recommend.
I'm no expert but these replica cases somehow feel like they are missing some kind of coating or finishing or something.

I'll let you know when it actually arrives
From the looks of the pics it looks like the battery cover is slightly thicker than the stock cover, so it should protect the camera lens from scratching.
thanks ! have been looking for these for a while !
I'm actually after a spare stock rear battery cover. Anyone seen them being sold online or at a shop?
Thanks! I'll buy the black one, because I don't want to scratch the original one.

I dont think you could scratch the original one even if you tried. Its made of perforated plastic and is rough to touch anyway.
I think these might be cool for parties etc
Depending on the price I'd love to get a yellow and green one!
Well I actually bought the white one, will post pictures/comments when I have it. If people are interested
Here you can buy an original one:

Yes please. Im interested in the White one and would love to see how it looks in real life.
Ordered a black one just because it has the Galaxy S II logo on the back
Should look nice with my translucent black TPU case.

Nice link, shame the only colour they seem not to do is the one I want (red)
I'd like to se e metal ones. Maybe somthing the same colour as the metal on the outer rim of the phone would look good.
I would be very interested in one if these if they played nice with the Zagg invisibleShield FULL BODY maximum coverage or easy install. The stock back has the texture which makes the invisible shields look like junk and peel.
Anyone want to be my guinea pig?? =D
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
If the price was right, it would be cool to be able to switch the back cover to suit the colour of your wallpaper. $13 seems a little steep though. If it had been $6 I might have gone for a couple.
Interested to see what they look like in reality though.

Exactly
After hearing feedback that the Barely There Case was found not an exact fit I thought I'd try out an alternative. I decided on the Hard Hybrid Back Case which can be found on ebay for less than £3. I also bought the even cheaper (99p) S-line for comparison.
The S-line I found easy to fit and remove, it had more protection on the top and bottom but it felt and looked cheap. The buttons were also covered with plastic which I didn't like.
The Hybrid case is very much styled like the CaseMate Barely There case but fits better, it's very snug and snaps over the Nexus. Getting it off can take a couple attempts. It has cut outs for both buttons which I prefer and has a nice grippy feel. Here are a couple pics:

Item No. 290637352773 on eBay.
Will this fit the extended battery?
Don't like how the bottom isn't covered.

Agreed. What's the point of having a case if it doesn't cover all the edges?
On a side note, OP - would you mind sharing the settings widget you are using? I like that the background is transparent.
AH i ordered a bunch of the hybrid cases off ebay. they are feel really nice! the only thing i dislike is how incredibly frustrating it is to take it off >:| (yes i swap cases often to keep the look fresh) but I have a white one and a dark purple one. as well as a S-line case. the S-line case feels nice but kinda bulky ><
each of my cases are like $2-$3
i'll post pictures of the white one once it arrives >> (two week shipping from HK)

Could be SwitchPro.
Case looks pretty nice. Currently using Otterbox Defender or whatever and it's comically huge.
Looks like a nice case, was going to ask if it would fit the LTE nexus but it looks like the seller doesn't ship to the states :/

u have to look around. all of the sellers based in Hong Kong would be willing to sell to the states. however, alot of the EU based sellers wont. it took me a good 20 minutes to find a white hybrid case that could be shipped to the US
Look no further if you want a slim fitting case with good grip and some style.
I just got the light grey off Amazon and the fit is perfect grip is great, bulk Is very min. The case has a different feel to it, it's weird in a good way, soft but grippy and there is a bit of a sandpaper type texture to it.
Only thing is you can't see the great looking back cover of the phones battery door.
Please give us a link!
Thanks

Yeah, I've been using mine for a while too. Best case I have seen/felt in a long time.

Could you post a pic of the front of your phone with this case on it?
Sounds nice
Ordered a dark grey yesterday
Skickat från min GT-I9300 via Tapatalk 2
It looks very nice, im going to order a black one.
How does this fit in your pocket? Does it stick in your pocket when you try to pull it out?
Autocorrected by my EVO 4G LTE.
It feels great. Very grippy in the hands, easy to hold. Slides in and out of the pocket very nice.
If I can get hold of another camera, I'll take a picture of the front of it.

Agreed - excellent case for the money, good fit, good grip, good look.
Best way to describe how the case feels is this
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I have the same case as the OP, I love it. It's feels and looks great.
I bought both black and grey but from a seller on ebay that is shipping from china. I only did this because at the time they did not have them on amazon. I got them for way cheaper though. I spent about 10 bucks a case.
I bought one as well. Very good but I like my rubberised more. Anyone wanting one Let me know
sent with SGS3
I got my Rock case, and while it's nice. I don't like that it doesn't cover the top or bottom.
i just received my rock quicksand from a chinese vendor. how do i know if it is legit. it does have a nice packaging and a rock with a registered mark. but the markings on the case say "Designed by ROCK in Shenzhen"....can anyone confirm?
edit: noticed it does have chinese website rockphone.cn so looks legit
Yep got mine from a similar ebay vendor - shipped from Hong Kong to Australia in 10 days or so, and works great. I even managed to do a decent screen protector setup with no bubbles...
if only this case came in white I would be on it.
I'd love to see a drop test with these cases. They look fantastic and I'm sure will protect the phone from scratches, but how much protection will it offer if dropped?

The most closer you can get is choose the Rock Nakedshell. But is glossy instead of sandpaper texture.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/rock-shi...dshell-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-white-p35548.htm
Got the ROCK Quicksand today from UK seller on ebay. took 2 days delivery. and honestly im surprised by the build quality for £10. i think it's pretty good!
half tempted to cover the back in carbon fibre vinyl like another post ive seen here. but the Rock gets thumbs up from me!
After deliberating for a little while on what case to get I decided on the Krusell Kiruna one.
I wanted a case that had access to all the ports and the magnetic charging point but also had magnetic closing as well. This case has all of that with only the sim slot blocked off.
The case is made of a high quality leather and feels pretty good certainly makes it less slippy!
Overall pretty impressed with it.
I got it from Amazon for a bit over £20 and had free prime shipping so all good

Hi!
I have this Krusell Kiruna case, and it's a great case!
No doubt about it! But I have an issue that I wonder if anyone else have the same.
Every now and then the screen stops responding correctly. It presses wrong letters when writing sms, and difficult to access the things I want. The screen starts flickering and switch screens and stuffs. When I slide the phone out of the case, the problem is gone. Anyone else recognizing this issue? Is the screen somehow disturbed by the case? And is there a way to solve it??
Best regards
a bumper would be nice why buy a premium built quality phone then hide it in ugly case ! man thats too ugly am sorry to say that !

Heavy Duty case (unboxing and life-tested (simply don't know how to break my device with it :silly:
Tempered glass protector to fully protect the device
i'll soon try to find another case for a XT1039 -but lighter than the one for my XT1032-, and post a review asap.

I have a xt1032 (forgot to mention) the case looks nice. I don't mind if its a bit chunky unless its really chunky, overall I think the case looks nice . I don't know whether or not I need screen protector because I thought moto g screen is scratch proof. My current case is a big thick leather flip case which is a bit annoying when I play games.

For me the best case is the moto grip shell. It's colorful, it protects both the screen (because the silicon part comes a little bit over it) and the phone itself. You can find it on different websites around 10$...
A few days ago I ordered the case @matmutant suggested. It comes with screen protector,stylus and case and all for just 8€ so I'm pretty happy
