Hey guys, I don't know if anyone has seen this yet or not. But I'll be sure to check the sears 3 minutes from my house tomorrow on if this is really for sale. Looks legit. Should fit my G, and Archos 101 pretty well maybe.
Someone bought this case for $6.00 + Tax at a Local Sears Store. I saw this on Archosfans.com This looks to be the first accessory for the G
Looks very similar to a Case logic sleeve though.

Yes it is made by Case Logic. It is neoprene, fits rather losely over the GTab but for $5.99 it does the trick. For now. They are giving them away Thursday morning (if you buy a GTab for $379.99 that is).
I hope this isn't Viewsonic's official case -- isn't that just a netbook slipcase, or am I missing something here?

What is price + shipping for the case? This seems to be the best I've seen anywhere for it and I hate to keep using my Swiss Gear netbook sleeve (the sleeve is a pita and no room for storing my G's stylus).

hi
This case looks very good. How does the stand hold up in portrait mode. if you put the tablet upright does the stand still function properly without the fear of toppling the tablet?
What is the cost and shipping time? I would like to buy one
this thread belongs in Accessories not general.
Anyone try it? Just picked it up, figured for $5 it was worth a shot. Here's the link, it's on slickdeals so it won't last long.

Thanks, looks interesting.
So, how does it perform?
After you posted this, I went to my local best buy to pick it up. It was 9.99 in store, but they had an open package one marked for 5.99, and I had a $5.00 coupon for my Rewards Points, so I got it for a dollar and some change after the tax. The stand is perfect, exactly what I was looking for. I don't want to use one of those folio cases because it's a beautiful tab and they take away from that, so this just fits my needs. And it's collapsible so it fits right in my sleeve. Thank you for posting about it, would have never know, you get a thanks!
That is kinda cool. I take it that these are discounted because it is being replaced by the NST model. You think it is worth paying more for the new one?
it's subjective. The NST apparently folds a little smaller and doesn't need the dust cover. But the older one you rinse off the stick pad to recharge the stickiness.
I guess for $5 it is worth a try. Ok $7, looks like the coupon expired.

that was my thinking. $5 isn't much considering getting a fast food meal probably cost that much. And it's universal enough that you can use it with other mobile devices.
Can I just overpay for one at tmobile so i dont break my damn phone before the stupid cases i ordered ship? the ones i picked (poetic) arent showing shipping for another 2 weeks so i want to buy something now to hold me over.
I know you can get one on ebay for ~$125 if your super desperate or you can buy another companies one for super cheap until it comes in

I haven't seen any reports of any TMo stores carrying accessories. However, your mileage may vary depending on location.
My store couldn't even do a simple sim swap right let alone figure out if there were any plans to carry the bumper.
I find myself around 3 different company owned T-mobile stores daily. 1 by my apartment, 1 by the subway on the way to work, and another down the block from my job. Combined, each one gives a good representation of what T-mobile is offering in general... Meaning that none of the 3 have the same total inventory, and they all have more to offer then the others. Depends on your phone I would guess. For example, I won't stereotype but the T-mobile by my apartment has a TON of stuff for the Samsung Galaxy line, while the others have either more HTC, LG, and oddly enough a lot of Nokia. Like I didn't even know there were that many Nokia accessories available...
My point is, I've asked every day in a combination of the 3 stores if they have covers or cases yet for the N4. Each store either pulled something out of their ass, or were at least straight with me by saying no, and they don't know when. This is as of today.
What I ended up doing on Wednesday was heading to the AT&T right next door to my job to pick up a LG Optimus G bumper case. Obviously not perfect, but strangely enough very ideal. It actually made me want to get the Google bumper case because it frames the phone well while showing it off. Unfortunately though, it was designed for the Optimus G. It really "squares" off the phone a lot, to the point where it looks like you actually have an OG in there. If you can deal with the bulk till something more ideal comes along, I recommend it.... Here's the rub though. On Friday, I received the thin TPU case that I had ordered from eBay. It's definitely worth the $3 I paid for it, but I'm still holding out for either a 3DO or a bumper case. I'll keep asking, and I'll update this post if/when I find that T-mobile has cases in the stores.

Has anyone tried the Tech21 Impact Slip case for S3 with a Nexus4? The dimensions are not too different, so i'm playing with an idea to order one, but it is quite pricey and i'm a bit reluctant to order...
call your local store
called my local tmobile store, they just got cases today for n4. $30 Bucks, amazing case, perfect fit, there are covers on power/vol but they are impressive, easier to press than without the case.
best yet its not bulky at all.
case is a body glove, white. here's the s3 version of the same case: as it's not even listed on their website yet.
Dual layer protection
Gel, impact resistant interior
Hard shell exterior to defend against bumps, scratches, and more
Comfortable side grips for extra cushioning
I ordered a Spigen Neo Hybrid case from a seller on Ebay from the US. I thought everything would be an authentic spigen case but when i received the case today, i was wrong. please refer to the pictures as I describe why it is fake so that you too do not get scammed.
1 - the packaging is incorrect. The original one does not look like this and is not in green.
2 - it does not come with the jelly bean buttons
3 - does not come with the authentication certificate so that you know it is a real one
4 - the power and volume buttons are on the TPU part of the case, then just spray painted the buttons with silver while the original spigen neo hybrid has holes for the power and volume buttons on the TPU part and the actual button is on the bumper part which makes the feel of it more clicky and better.
5 - the engraving on the side of the bumper does not say neo hybrid but NED HYBRID!!!!! are u effin serious!?!?! that right there was a dead give away.
sooo please make sure you check to see if the case has any of these that i mentioned so that you too do not get scammed. these cases are not cheap so you need to make sure you get a genuine part directly from spigen or their dealers. I have already set up a claim with ebay and will set a dispute with paypal, hopefully i get my refund sooner than later... thanks!
Did you read the description? Sometimes they explicitly mention that it is not a genuine sgp product in the description.

Here are some rules on ebay..
If the price looks to good to be true it most likely is, you get what you pay for. This is what happens when people try to be cheap and not buy direct. Spigen has a store on ebay that is official.
98% of brand name cell phone cases on ebay are not official.
If you paid close to reg price why didn't you just go to spigen direct? Were you that hard up for a few bucks?
I have a fake otterbox defender i paid about $25 for for my S3, however i didnt get pissed after buying it and you know why? I paid HALF what a real one cost and for the most part its the same damn thing, it It protects my phone just as well
Oh and PS if you message the seller and show him the things that you know make it a fake, and say you are calling spigen to verify authenticity , 9 times out of 10 they will offer a full refund without even shipping the item back

Although I can't clarify for the OP. I also received the exact item he received. Some more notes:
- The counterfeit item is much thicker. Having now compared them. When I received my NED HYBRID, I was like "this is premium? I paid $25 for this?" Quality is very inferior in the knock-off.
- The packaging will have a model# for an S3 in white. They don't change the SKU's on the counterfeit.
- The 3d Authentication Sticker says "Official SGPSTORE.COM Product" - the real one says Official SPIGEN Product or something.
I think they may have recycled the plastic cases from a previous batch (factory left overs) and made up a new slip?
My seller was sino-wireless .

I bought it on Ebay for near retail price at $25 because it was sold out at the time. I actively chose one that said it was authentic SPIGEN, made in Korea, and priced accordingly. If I wanted the chinese one, I would have paid $9 for it.
Hehe on the 2nd picture, the one of the silver frame it says ned hybrid , not neo hybrid.

i did tell the seller and opened a case with ebay but he is only offering a partial refund of 15 from the price of the phone which was 20 which is bs, i got this because it stated authentic and you are not able to falsely advertise on ebay, i know still some people do, but ebay protects you anyway if such a thing happens. the sellers feedback was also 100 so i felt good about it, and it was from US n not international.
please ! report these dicks to spigen !
open a support chat/email.

LOLz on the NED Hybrid I think that was the dead ringer for me.
have to say it "you get what you pay for"
I'm sure you paid far less than the $31.99 they charging on the site, that would have been a obvious sign for me.
I had a 7.99 off card they gave me from one of their promos, got the Ultra Crystal SP and Aluminum buttons half off, was a good enough deal for me, just ordered directly off their site with free shipping like I have many times in the past.
well the neo hybrid case isn't worth anywhere near 30 dollars
sad to see you paid 25 for a fake
this is why i never really take my chances with ebay.
id rather buy direct from people and know its authentic then take a chance n get ripped off.
i ordered the neo hybrid satin silver and its well worth the 30 i paid
Just yesterday I received a Spigen case for my new S4. Inside the case was a little card which mentioned authenticating my Spigen product. I thought to myself, "How arrogant of them to think that somebody would want to copy their cell phone case" and ignored it.
Well, I guess the joke is on me! Fortunately I just now ran the authentication on my case, and it's legit (whew!).
Thanks for this report, perhaps it will save somebody some grief. I had no idea such a thing was a problem....
Ordered a fake from China in red for 12 bucks.
I know what I'm getting at that price. Anything half price of the general set price is always a knock off.
Not spending 30 bucks for this plastic case.

yea, if got scammed as well, same case. but i keep it. it is a good scam with high quality, for half the price
I also got same product from ebay. But it's very nice quality for half price. I am happy with this deal.
I actually bought a fake from eBay thinking the bumper would at least be interchangeable with the authentic ones.
Also, another thing they do is put MEGR instead of MEGA on the back where it says the cameras MP.
Sent from my Ancient Atrix 4G.
My seller is requesting *I* send the case back to him so he can process a refund. I told him I was already in contact with Spigen (which I did file with them) and they want the case, so if he wants it back he has to provide a mailer/refund quick or it's going to them as evidence.
We'll see how he responds.
As I said. It's one thing to sale China clones that are obvious knock-offs at $9. But to package them and sale them as authentic at retail prices is downright fraud. My seller was US based and also had 100% feedback at the time. It hurts the brand. If I didn't know better, I would think "wow Spigen really sucks". Now that I have an authentic one to compare to, I know that the quality is far superior to the knock-off.

Even if you're satisfied for half-price and going to keep it, I recommend you put a neutral (doesn't hurt them) feedback stating that it isn't authentic. When I buy stuff on Ebay, I look for feedback in the neutral/negative categories to see if the seller is selling counterfeits. It helps others.
I disagree.
Neutral IS a negative in ebays eyes. .
If you are truly happy with the amount paid and the quality you got leave it at positive.
If your buying items brand new at half price and think they are authentic, then you are a fool.
The guy that paid almost full retail was taken advantage of. But sending the product to the actual company and dealing with reporting them and making threats and all this crap is just a waste, it's just makes you look petty. No offense.
Open a claim with eBay and let them take care of it.

I gave in and got the ATT PMA Circle Case while they still had the 50% off of LG G3 accessories. While at the store, they had the old Iphone 4s PMA case plus matt on sale for $10. Bought two of those for work and home plus the case and payed about $55. Not too shabby.
So far, I really love the case and the cool apps/notification I can do with the case. I think its a $55 well spent.
Did you buy the phone at the same time as the case? I bought mines from best buy but I really want to take advantage of the 50% off the case.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

Try to say you bought it when you did but say when you bought they didn't have the case and maybe they can try and give you the discount, worse case scenario is that they say no, also don't say you bought it at bestbuy lol
