Fake SGP Neo Hybrid Color Series Case for only $14.39

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

My responses asking whether they were authorised resellers and if the case was genuine:

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 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.

Yeaaah I would not trust anything a "Samsung rep" would say at a Best Buy. I'm pretty sure they are just like a Best Buy employee but with a Samsung shirt on. The one by my house hardly knew anything about the Note 2014. And it's his job to know.

Ditto, I asked for a 32 gb model and he gave me a 16 gb one fortunately I figured it out as I was being rung up. I haven't been in a best buy in ages now I know why. Guy came up to me and said I looked confused while I was looking at the tablet I came in the store to buy, way to really pi$$ off my type A personality. ?.

Am I being an idiot but if you look at the Smart Cover it looks as though if you want to use it as a stand you have to have the tablet upside down?

By George I think you're right.... Something sure doesn't look right about that. At this point I have a $5 MOKO case that I'm pretty happy with and a $3 Poetic case due in any day now that I think will be just fine. I like the look of the smart cover but can't rationalize $60 for it.

Yeah it does. Although I rarely use the camera I would rather it be this way than the other. Opening the other way (like last years version) occludes the view of the camera. If it weren't for the stupid home button it wouldn't make a difference as far as being upside down.

I would think it would work like the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 book cover, so the tablet would not be upside down.

Ah right...so it doesnt fold into a triangle like the smart covers on apple...Thats dissapointing but i guess it wouldnt work as it would be upside down lol. This looks like it will be difficult to get it to stay standing on the sofa or other non-flat surfaces.

I just picked up one of these today. And yes, it does work like the one on the Tab 3. Overall I'd say it's pretty nice. Very compact and seems stable enough on a range of surfaces.

with the amount of bulk they added, you'd think they'd include some extra battery.

Got this case in a few days ago. The charging works rather well, but there is definitely added bulk...

Midnight Fabric Case for Pixel 2 XL in the UK?

This is a long shot, but does anyone know anywhere that is selling this fabric case in the UK at normal retail prices? I've scoured the net looking to no avail, nothing on eBay, Amazon, and loads of other places!
It's not even that I can't find it at its RRP, I can't find anywhere selling it at all!
I'm putting this question everywhere I can think of, I'm just not having any luck at all.
I'd even take a second hand one if it's in good condition!

Did you found one?
I bought the last one from our local telecom shop and never really used it because of my Dbrand skin.
I'm from Germany but i would send it over to you.

Had the cement case delivered from amazon UK just today. They have the other colours in stock also. Undecided if I like it though compared to my pitaka case.

Hello guys,
I’ll buy a midnight fabric case, like... right now. If one of you have one or if you know someone who’s selling one, please let me know

I saw one of the midnight fabric cases sold on eBay for $200+. Not worth it. Got the carbon and cement cases on Amazon for less than $30 each.
