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.

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.

I think you can price match during the exchange period.

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.

i-Blason has also received numerous bad reviews for their battery cases on other devices. Check their iPhone variants.

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.

Poetic Slimline Case for Google Nexus 7 2nd Gen 2013 Tablet Black $5.95 shipped

This case is very similar to the ASUS premium case. You can't go wrong for less that $6.

That's the case I'm waiting for. I have one (actually, three) for my OG Nexus 7. Poetic's customer service is fantastic.

Thanks. In for one.

The Slimline is pretty cool. I had one for the first gen N7. The quality isn't the best since it will start to fall apart at the ends, but they have a 3 yr warranty. Every time I contacted them, they would send me a brand new case. Can't really beat that... and for $6 shipped ain't bad. I paid like $20 for my first gen.
I just got a black one. The colored ones are like $14, which isn't bad, but I already bought a Portenzo that I plan to use.

thanks in for 1 black one.

It costs an extra $18 to ship to Canada. That's ridiculous.

Ugh. Best bet for us Canadians would be eBay.

Thanks in for 1! Was looking at all the cases posted in the forum and decided for the price and style this seems to fit the bill.

I had the first gen N7 poetic case which I loved, put this one on order as well.

I can't bring myself to buy something that low quality, check out the pictures after 3 months

Their quality is a hit or miss but they are good on replacements. The first batch had issues on old N7 but the one I bought has been perfect. Been using it for 10 months daily with no issues.

I had one on my old one and loved it. i Ordered one on amazon then realized the shipping date so i just ordered the asus one until the premium becomes available....

Ordered mine 2 days ago on Amazon, should arrive by September but hopefully sooner. It's killing me not having some sort of protection for this bad boy! Got screen protectors on the way as well, shipped out yesterday.

Its only $5.95 with shipping which is cheaper than a foot long samich from Subway, so if it only last 3 months then I'll use the warranty or by a new one. And that's all I got to say about that!

I think so

$70 for a pre-order, thats garbage! Just wait for the OPO to go live with it on their site for $50.

Here's my 29 cent version:

Dude $70 for any case is not worth it until unless it is a silver case lol

I'm really surprised we haven't seen any cheap Chinese knockoff backs yet. And even more surprised that OP still hasn't released these yet

I agree in regards to the knock off part. If they did make knock offs then you'd be losing Nfc as it's in the back of the phone and is attached to the case.
Although the cheap bamboo print out and then using it as the Ringke cover was pretty nice looking.

Bought 2 at release but went with the 'design your own' as I didn't like the offerings they had. Its a nice case. The dual layer protection has a seperate insert that gives extra cusion. My wife uses the one I got her. I haven't used mine yet, probably wont.
