I bought a clear you case on eBay. In the add it said it had a white trim but it doesn't. Its all clear. I want to try to paint it but don't know what kinda of paint to use.

You should contact the seller first & point out their mistake. Sometimes they may even say keep the old case & a new one will be sent out, if they request you return it ask them if they'll pay for the return postage. If they are unwilling to work with you then give them the appropriate feedback & rating.
If you decide to paint it then you want to use a paint that flexes, something like Krylon Fusion For Plastic.
I got some rustoleum 2x In orange. Like fusion supposed to be better
Tried it on my zerolemon case for my note 3 (so sick of black)
Did not do any prep or clean just tried it will see if it works. If it appears to hokd up will order a fresh clean one and put some effort into it.
Of note the zl tpu is a matte finish not glossy. I would think this woumd help with adhesion
Also note full strength plastic adhesion takes 5 to 7 days!
It is still wet I. This picture will report back later
So if this appears to work I will do a fresh one perfext and let it sit for 2 weeks.
How did it dry?

Just wondering how well it dried and how long it took.
Can anyone upload some pics of it on please.
Does it fit perfect?
How's quality, does it scuff easily?
Does it fold back on itself so you can use the phone like this?
Does it stay shut ok, is there anything to keep it closed? Im a bit worried it might end up getting folded the wrong way so doesn't stay closed properly? Would be great to have an iPad like smart cover...
I'm about to order a white S3, but am going to get the blue flip case as I like the contrast between the two, anyone have this combo?
I have the official white flip case and it looks really good. You remove the original back off the galaxy siii and clip in the flip case instead. A perfect fit too. Very professional looks good to me. The top flip part does fold behind back of phone easily! seems designed to fold that way too!
When flip cover is closed over screen it doesnt fasten in place but it does stay in place well. Only bought phone and flip case yesterday..

I ordered a flip case with my vzw preorder, but I'm going to get the wireless charger when it releases and that requires a unique back cover that I suppose will then make the flip cover useless to me....
There's a review here:

Also be aware that, according to reviews on Amazon.de, you cannot see the LED through the flip cover.

NO. WAY!!!
/sarcasm
I got mines for free from P4U they gave me a 32gb card and an original case i was shocked i thought it would be a cheap case lol..
It fits perfect the interior for the front is a soft cloth like the ones you get when you buy a screen protector..
The outside is hard plastic feels awesome to the touch.. It does cover the LED so you will miss your notifications if you do happen to miss it. But at in the dark you can see it..
Oh and the back bit adds a bit of weight to it so your phone feels alot more heavier not too heavy though makes it feel perfect.. Back plate isn't flexible either it's solid..
I've not had any scuffs at all in the last 4 days i have been using it so no it doesn't get ruined easily I guess..
Other then that it's a brilliant case..
Has anyone purchased the blue version of the flip case? How does the shade of "chrome blue" compare to the "pebble blue" of the original back?

My idea is to get the white S3 and buy the blue flip cover, I think they look good together
The problem with the official flip case is that it actual replacing the original back cover and it is made from the same material just like the original back cover.
The display is protected but the back side...well...unprotected...you can still scratch the back.
After several weeks or months the back cover will still be damaged and it will look ugly with all that scratches...and then what? buy another flip cover?
Has anyone tried to combined the official flip case with another case or bumper or whatsoever to protect the back cover?
With this for example:
http://www.incipio.com/Samsung-Gala...-S-III-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp
I would like to see a drop test with the flip cover vs no flip cover and see if it actually protects the screen, otherwise it doesn't worth anything.

Beside the fact that it does not protect the back cover.
I have also some doubts regarding this issue.
The thing is, there is lock or snap on mechanism on the flip case.
Meaning, the flip can be opened very easily...I dunno if this is still reliable if it falls like...not opening during fall and leave the screen unprotected.
Note:
Providing some degree of protection during fall, it is impossible to protect it to 100%.
Hantec just emailed me they have stock of the white flip in the UK, £22.79

No offense guys, but this is simply one of the worst ideas I have ever seen for a phone accessory. Why in the hell would anyone want to add more steps to accessing their phones? I can understand it with a tablet, where you're never in huge hurry to start working on something; but on a phone?!?! Flip-phones are extinct for a reason guys.

This. I have a flip-cover for my OG Galaxy Tab, but I've never been able to understand why you'd want one on a phone either.
Flip covers provide very little protection against drops; make it more inconvenient to instantly access your phone, and have an annoying floppy flap on the back when open during calls.
The only pros I can see is that it looks "adult", and that some flip covers fold to act as a landscape stand.

So you are also against leather pouches/sleeves?
It provides screen protection for when the phone is in a pocket.
No, the flip cover doesn't protect the back - it's not meant to since it is a replacement back. I.e. the mere fact that you can easily replace the back with a new one means that rather than put an additional cover on there you could just treat the back as a cover and replace it if it gets scratched.

Exactly.
I don't like cases in general. The back cover is a replacement as you say, the front flap is to protect the screen in pocket. This is exactly what I want. I don't want a bumper, back case that adds bulk to the phone. It's slim and light for a reason.
My other option is a pouch, so I can again protect in pocket, but use the phone naked

I have another solution (works for me): Put your keys and your change in your *other* pocket, then you don't need any pocket screen protection. As an added bonus, the screen emerges from your pocket with all the fingerprints mostly wiped off.
Just got my nexus 5 and the SGP Neo Hybrid in on the same day and I must say this case duo is amazing! It covers the phone perfectly and protects the screen and camera when placing it down on a flat surface.
One happy customer

Looks good. Have the same one coming. Wish the buttons were black, but that's just a minor nitpick.

how do the buttons feel? do the metallic buttons have any play? When you press them, can you feel the actual click of the button?
I bought a neo hybrid case for a different phone about a year ago and while it did make the phone look great, it didn't last very long. The case was two pieces... A tpu case and a plastic frame that went over that to secure the tpu to the device. I'm not sure if this case for the N5 works in the same way so I'm hesitant to buy it. What ended up happening to my old case is the plastic frame eventually broke and I'm hoping that won't be the case for this one. Can you tell me if this may be a problem with this one too?

my guess is that as long as you don't constantly take it off and on and put any unnecessary stress on the plastic frame, it should be fine and last at least a year.

They did fix it for the Galaxy S4 with a revision (the area around the port charger) since the plastic is thinnest there. This one... doesn't look like they attempted on preventing the same issue.

Again I want this case too. I love how it looks. But I already own 2 for the 2 Galaxy S4, one which had the area snapped around the port charger, and both had their paint finish starting to bubble and peel.
Looks great! I've got my Neo Hybrid case sitting on the counter in the packaging, waiting for my Nexus 5 to arrive Thursday. It's gonna be a long 3 days of waiting.

I find the case uncomfortable to hold. Edges dig into the hands a little. I received the fix from I case also and it fit perfect and follows the phone contours better. Just my opinion though.

Buttons feel good, it has that 'tick' to it. A bit sensitive on the power button side, but it doesn't accidently get pressed on. Just doesn't require a lot of effort to push it in.

I wasn't sure what to say because this phone is bigger but yeah it doesn't offer much grip.
In terms of it holding up, I sure hope that it does, I saw that they had a 90-day warranty on the case so we'll see what happens. The back doesn't leave any fingerprints. I will say this for sure, the phone feels REALLY REALLY REALLY good without a case on.

If you had a Nexus 4 and the official LG bumper, the buttons on the case is pretty much very similar to that.
Made a short preview of the Neo Hybrid if you guys are interested:

Yeah, this is why I'm so excited about the Neo Hybrid with the silver edging. I love the look and feel of the official LG bumper on my nexus 4 and was hoping to replicate it with the Nexus 5. The Neo Hybrid is EXACTLY what I've been looking for.

Its exactly what it is and has more protection with the extra piece inside. From what I can tell (im charging the phone right now) it doesnt touch the outer piece or cause any pressure to it. Theres a gap between them (very minor but enough that it doesnt pressure it).

I'm not sure I am following. The back of the phone doesn't touch the inside backing of the case? Or are you saying the case button covers don't pressue the phone's buttons?
I can't decide, the black slate looks gun metal blue-ish thesilver looks very good too.
I have this phone and I just recently bought dbrand skin, but would like a bumper case with no back on it. Meaning just the outside edges only. Anyone know of where there could be one?
I'm also looking for one... subscribing. I had one on my HTC 10 that I really liked (RhinoShield CrashGuard) - but they don't seem to make them for LG phones. Looking for something similar to that. Please update if you find one!
Im trying to find one too if not i might order a really flexible cristal clear case and put it on or maybe order one of the "bumper" cases that have a tranparent back and just cut the back
looking for it as well, no result till now
I have this one and love it. Could easily be cut with a sharp razor to be a bumper case with possibly leaving the back wire frame on it. Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/371888746421

I doubt the thin blue frame would be that secure without the case? I could be wrong. If anyone finds one update this thread, they can have my money in a heartbeat.

I'm not a fan of the clasp closing one's and I'd prefer a more robust silicone with a big lip but as it's all we have I may give it a go. Have you ordered one?
yep, ordered 2 differents colors
Please let us know with a few details on what they're like once you've received them, Monkeydrufy.
I've had that type of case on my honor 8 (the last one posted in silver and black).
It was terrible. Not a real bumper, and it's so deep I could hardly get my finger in the hole to unlock it.
Maybe this version will be better, I'm not sure, I haven't used it, but I certainly would not recommend it.
I would love to see a RhinoShield bumper even on G6, sadly they only make them for galaxy and iphone..

Hello all, was looking for a case that holds 4 cards.i don't really like having the cover and want something more on the backside. I previously had a note 8 and used a blackweb case with card holder and liked that a lot. Anyone have anything like this or aware of one along this? Thank you a bunch for the help!

As for Note cases... on my Note 8 I had a rear wrap from slickwraps and a Rhinoshield Crash Guard Bumper and no screen protector.
I dropped that thing some many times i couldn't count. Plenty outside and on concrete. NEVER had an issue.
I ordered the same for the Note 10+. This scheme adds no extra thickness to the phone. The crash guard has edges front and rear that never let the glass touch a surface. The wrap provides cosmetic protection against scratches and provides some texture for a better grip.
The Rhinoshield is also mil spec rated to protect against an 11 foot fall.
Received the wraps, still waiting for the bumper.

Ghostek makes great cases, although I use their Covert case as my daily driver on my Note phones for the last 3 years. The one linked above should do you well OP.

Hope it works out for you too! Me personally am not a fan of cases that hold credit cards. But they are definitely useful for those that do use em'.
I totally forget which ghostek case I use to have as since the note 8 Iv been using UAG cases.
Let us know how your case works out for you!
