Just received one of these from this seller on eBay. On the face of it, they look like nice little slip cases with the added benefit of being genuine Samsung (according to the auction title).
However, upon opening the case, I decided to return to the seller; these are the reasons I sent to him via eBay messaging:
Major_Sarcasm on 10 Sep said:
Hi,
I'm sorry, but I'd like to return this case for the following reasons:
1. The hole cut out for the speaker is in completely the wrong place for this phone. Even if you put the phone in upside down, it's the wrong side! The hole doesn't correspond to any other piece of equipment on the device.
2. You state that the case is "Genuine Samsung" in the auction title and state the "Brand" as Samsung also. All the Samsung products that I've bought in the past have at least a card backer with the 'genuine' logo on it and a part number.
3. The auction title states that the case is made of Leather. Then in the auction text, it states 'faux leather'. It can't be both. Unfortunately, I didn't notice the 'faux leather' text or I wouldn't have bought the product.
Regards, Steve

So, the return request was approved via the eBay system & I got the following response from the seller, 'cheapgadget' along with the approval:

Nice & polite, I thought. So, I sent him the photos that are attached to this post and the following email:
Major_Sarcasm on Sun 11/09/2011 11:00 via email said:
Hi John
As requested via ebay messaging, please find attached photos of the case, packaging and my Galaxy S2 for comparison. As you can see, the speaker on the S2 is at the bottom and the hole on the case is at the other end. Without mentioning the other things that I detailed in my previous message, I didn’t put the phone in the case because I don’t think it will fit at all well and indeed will likely stretch the case. It’s also not long enough and the phone will stick out the top. I know this because the case that I have currently is damn near the same length and my phone sticks out the top of that (the reason that I was replacing it!)
This case clearly isn’t for a Galaxy S2. The picture of a dog you can see on the back of my phone is a thin sticker and adds no measurable bulk to the device.

I'm like, what? Did you even look at the pics. This case is obviously not for the SGS2. So, I sent an email back this morning:
Major_Sarcasm on Mon 12/09/2011 09:04 via email said:
No, it doesn’t fit the device. The speaker hole is at the wrong end. I will be returning it for refund as you’ve already approved the return on ebay. The photos were a courtesy.

I have now completed the eBay returns procedure and will be posting later today. I will update the thread if I ever get a refund. Also, I'm gonna link to this thread in the negative feedback that I give the seller
I've also just noticed that the cheeky sod has updated the auction text to include a note about the hole. See the pics below. His description of the hole is just laughable.
Edit: My amusing communications with cheap gadget are continued in post 14
Based on the position of the speaker hole, I think it's a case for the Glaxy S. The seller is just being a cheapskate and try to sell them for S2 owner
Hopefully, I'll get my money back.
Big update to OP. LOL.
Funny how "hanging accessories" is more important than hearing your fone ringing, since it's a fone after all. Smart ass
Ps: seems like your fone has the pink spot camera problem. Try downloading the camera firmware updater from samsung apps. Can't help but to notice

Always very cautious buying on eBay it's a haven for fakes/scammers and cheap items passed off as being genuine.

Wife's phone actually. My phone is in the pics. Taking pics of my phone with my phone would've been clever indeed.
Her phone is completely stock and I'm not allowed to touch it ;-)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Nah you don't need to be clever, you can achieve this simply by bending time.
This is where I've been going wrong. I updated her SGS2's camera firmware last night. All I have to do now is retrospectively apply the pink fix to the photos above. Anyone have a spare chrono-bending appliance handy?
you know what? i have bought the same thing....it is obviously made for sgs1. i gave them negative feedback and i told them i won't send them back the case because i have no time to go to the post office. they fully refunded me and asked me to change the feedback. so i've got the money back and i forced the case with an object to make the phone fit. i think it is one of the best looking cases although it is not a genuine s2 case. could somebody post ebay links to original sgs2 cases looking like this?
They've agreed to refund me. I've returned the case.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
argh, how frustrating. i use a 'sock' for my phone, its nice as I can quickly wipe my screen when putting it in or taking it out...(i hate fingerprints)
Indeed. I never put my phone in the case that I have at the moment unless the screen is clean. My reasoning is that if it has grease on it when it goes in, it'll accumulate in the case lining. Yuck.

If the item is not good for you, you may return the item for refund. Please return the item to:

Please include 2 things:
1. Your Ebay ID
2. A note for refund
Alternatively, we can offer you partial refund. To save the hassle of return, you don't have to return the item to us and keep it as spare for your other phone protective usage.

And indeed, I have had a refund and ebay has closed the case. Now I have a dilemma; Do I leave negative feedback and link to this thread for the world to see or give them neutral feedback and do the same or do as they ask and leave positive?
To be honest, I want to leave negative or neutral just because they've pissed me about so much over a case that's clearly not for the phone it's advertised as being for, made me wait nearly a week for a refund and I had to hassle them for it too.
Thoughts, oh wise XDA users?
Neutral.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
I've done quite a bit of researching on this one, and I cannot seem to find a hard screen protector(that is not a film) for the Moto X. Has anyone here found one? If not, could you help me in trying to find some?

im using this tempered glass screen protector at the moment. most people say theyre having bad senor issues when in a call but it doesnt bother me too much. feels just like the glass screen and fits well.
THIS might help a little bit, not sure any of the companies have anything ready for us.
Thanks all for the suggestions, I found this protector(apparently, I cannot post links yet).
edit: It's the XT tempered glass screen protector by Clarivue(anyone have any experience with their products?)

Thank you! I'm actually waiting for the wood backs on the Motomaker to get one, I'll probably be getting a Moto X with either Rosewood or Ebony wood.
I ordered this Armour shield screen protector for my MOTO X so just waiting for it to be delivered...its a full body screen protector..dont have much reviews over it....but had ordered to give it a try.....so hopefully it would be a good one and wont prove my choice wrong.....

Same issue. I'm about to post a nice review of my experience on Amazon. They out-right lied to me.
I just called the company and they said they are no longer selling the product because of all the issues. I can't find any glass screen protectors for this phone now =\.

That's unfortunate. I think I'll use it and try to live with the issue for now. I've ordered another one from amazon because I returned my previous Moto X. MimeUSA has a landing page for the Moto X but it says coming soon. Unfortunately, they haven't replied to my emails.

Good stuff. Have you experimented any Root or Optimization on your device? or just kept it Stock?
Picked one up this morning at Telus about 15 minutes after they opened. They only got two in, I grabbed the black one. Really want to get the pebble steel band when I'm the US Sunday, but I'm scared of the cracking issue.
Got mine yesterday morning from a Telus store, about 20 minutes after opening and I was the second person to buy one.
So far I am loving this watch. My only issue is that I keep discarding my weather card from Google Now, so its never there when I want it. I have since installed 1weather, but the font sizing isn't perfect so some numbers are being cut off.

Have you got the new update yet that allows you to swipe down on a card so it goes away but you can bring it back by swiping up if you like. That may help a bit.

Hey guys I ordered my 360 grey model from telus website yesterday, because I called all local telus stores around me and all said wont be carrying in stock. But can you guys tell me if I'm just crazy but am I seeing a BROWN THAN BAND on the futureshop.ca website??
I cant post link because of new account but goto futureshop DOT ca website, and lsearch for product code 00527NACRTL
The title is "New! Motorola Moto 360 Smartwatch (00527NACRTL) - Black", but the pictures show a THAN BAND, noone is talking about this. But its so not clear what you would actually get if you order from that page, title says black, screenshots show silver with brown band..
Anyone notice this model is any stores?

Looks good. I didn't make it but this is the one I'm using.
i aint from canada. i am from India.
Got mine 2 weeks ago, changed the band to pebble steel, been using it since last 10 days, no cracking issues so far... So u guys can change the band without any problem, but make sure u dont have very small wrist..
Had mine a couple of days now and my battery life is amazing, yesterday took it off charger at 5am and on my way home from work at 4pm it was at 75%. When I got home I used it a lot (making facer faces) went to bed at 11:30 pm and it was still at 39%.

For our beloved phone, it seems that no one really cares about anymore but us. I cracked my screen, managed to replace it and the whole frame, but idiots at my service completely cracked the back cover on its sides, so I'm looking to replace it.
Does anyone still have back covers, doesn't matter if they are black/white or bamboo?

Hi XDA,
I have 1 official Pixel 3 XL case I would like to give away. It is the Fabric Case in Indigo. Image of the case: https://imgur.com/W3yRsCt
It's unused and has just been sitting on my shelf for a while. I received it as part of the reviewer's kit but have no need for it. Rather than having it continue to sit on my shelf, I will give it away to anyone who wants it. The only catch is that you'll have to pay for shipping.
I will pack the case in a padded envelope and send it to you if you live in the U.S. Just send me a DM if you're interested. I will give preference to RC/RD and other recognized members.
Cheers!
Case has been sent to Face_Plant. Enjoy!
