[Q] Verus Iron Shield Disappeared!!!

i wanted this case(which was on sale last week) and went to order it and it was gone showing unavailable on amazon. it seems to be a upgraded metal version of the spigen neo hybrid. im assuming that spigen came after them for design. any inside on where i could get one. im too new to post the link but search verus iron shield note 4

Hopefully they are fixing the design so it doesn't interfere with reception.

Yeah, if they remove the metal altogether

Just checked the Verus website and there are no products available for any device. I hope they'll be back soon. http://veruscase.com

Yea i was worried about those who preordered cause i almost did. We will see i guess.

but if in this case we didn't have signal problem?

It can cause signal problems, i have been in contact with them after i ordered it. Will email them now, to ask why they removed it from amazon.

I( went ahead and just cancelled my order, and ordered a Spigen Neo Hybrid. Very similar, and they are in stock. I hate leaving my phone naked without some protection.

The reply i got:
"Yes, we are having some systematic issues right now but hopefully it should be fixed soon."
I don't know what they mean with systematic to be honest

Their reply to my inquiry:
"Hi,
Your pre-ordered case is expect to
be release and ship on October
15th or 16th,
For Amazon availability is off due to
we no longer sales for pre-order for
Verus product,"
For something that is supposedly shipping from Verus- USA, the English doesn't sound too reassuring. Oh well, I'll just wait and see what happens next.

And finally is there signal problem or not?

nice . well hope it returns, and will be looking forward to a review

i owned a neo hybrid for my note 3 and now want a metal build because on the spigen the paint on the rim chipped a lot and the rim even cracked near the power button. i think the metal will hold up a bit better(if i can ever buy one)

Shipped
Just figured that I would let everyone know that my Verus Iron Shield that I ordered from Amazon just shipped with an expected delivery in 5-7 days. Sold by CITIEMOBILE. I e-mailed Verus yesterday to ask about the availability of the Iron Shield for our phones and why their website is showing no products. Haven't received a reply yet.

Verus-USA refers to the distribution channel. Support is still based out of Korea.

Received a notice from Amazon that my titanium silver Iron Shield case shipped today (sold by Verus USA) with an expected date of Oct 17 - Oct 21.

Spigen cases gone from amazon?

did they stop selling them on amazon?

yes, they pulled them, probably from complaints
just look at the reviews

Spigen quality has gone down since I last remember them.
I ended up returning two cases for the LG g2 which scratch so easily, and looking at the reviews of the Note 4 cases I see nothing has changed

My tough armor case seems decent but I'm glad I didn't get any others.

I've noticed that I have some small scratches on my bezel after using my neo hybrid.

My sob story:
Had my Spigen Neo Hybrid on order since September 25th or so. Noticed around Oct 18 they were in stock on Amazon, shipping, and 4 bucks less (but mine still didn't ship). Complained and Amazon sent Spigen a msg for me asking for $4 refund. It ships next day but no refund. Not even a reply from Spigen.
I finally receive it around Oct 22 and get my phone on the 23rd. As soon as I realize I can't make calls because it covers my mic (Verizon) I take pictures and send a message to them. Almost a week later they send me a canned response saying they are redesigning the TPU.
Decide to return it on the 25th and Spigen denies return due to "outside return window". Huh? I ordered in September but they didn't ship for a month (until I had to bug them about it) and they deny my return. I filed a claim with Amazon and Amazon immediately gave me a refund in Amazon credit, no questions asked.
I will never, ever buy another Spigen product.

How long did your A-Z claim take? I filed one the other day, just waiting...

It said if I chose Amazon gift card I would have it in my account in 3 hours. It took about an hour. If you choose refund to your credit card they have to go back to the seller and it can be days.

In had the exact same issue. Took them a month to ship the case, I used the case for ten days, could not take the flimsy stand, and the poor hear rate monitor cutout on my tough armor. I requested a refund 10 days after receiving it. Spigen denied my claim for being outside the return window. I guess, don't ever pre order a spigen case as the warranty/return date starts from the actual order date, not the date the item is received (even though they ship super slow mail).
Amazon refunded my payment as a gift card (after filing a claim), although it hasn't shown up yet in my account.

amazon seem to have started stocking them in the UK store.

Good, hopefully they will get the design correct before they start dumping them on the public again.

Kick stand is horrible. But everything else about my tough armor is good so far.

I've had my Neo Hybrid on my Note 4 for a bit over a week and have taken it on and off countless times. No scratches at all on my phone, already came up big saving my phone from a face down pancake fall from about 3.5 feet on to my brick walkway. Only issues are the hole for the headphone jack may not fit higher end connectors and the HR Monitor does not work per their instructions . I'm guessing the latter is why the've pulled the product. Also, the posts I've read regarding scratching on the bezel were not from the Neo Hybrid., but from the thinner form fitting cases like the Thin Fit/Ultra.

I believe it was removed from amazon because spigen may have fixed the VZW n4 issue, if you go to spigen site, it no longer has a note of carrier compatibility under the case descriptions. I sent them an email but no response as of yet.

3 out of 5 cases I bought last month were complete ****, very disappointed.
Then they were tons of complains about scratched phones etc, I think its not the case's fault for that, the design of the note 4 is nice looking but easily scratched.

Has anyone ordered the tough armor case since they restocked on 11/10? I was about to pull the trigger on ordering one of these bad boys but the complaints I've read so far has me second guessing them.
Is the kickstand really that flimsy?
The microphone hole issue fixed for the Verizon variant?
bezel scratches easily still?

I have the original... The kick stand seems flimsy however it's never not done is job nor failed in any way. I use the kick stand constantly ! The fix for this case for the Verizon phones should be super simple seeing how it is only TPU on the bottom. After drilling a hole in the correct spot I didn't even feel the urge to return.

Thanks for the reply. Currently I'm using an Otterbox Defender case and a bit torn on this and the spigen. The Otterbox definately offers superior protection, but it adds so much bulk. The spigen looks like it does the job, UT no protection for the front and I should not have to drill a hole for the mic cutout to align. May have to just stick with the Otterbox case for now especially since winter is approaching.

Just to let you know I have a co-worker that has the Neo Hybrid case and they have already sent him an up-to-date TPU replacement and his is just fine now. I'm sure any they are selling now with have the upgraded TPU cutouts and not have any problem.

Ok just ordered a tough armor case and will arrive on Saturday. Will report back my findings.

Nov 30 availability. ;-(

I've been rocking the Ringke Fusion on my N4 for about 2.5 years now. Great case. Although I'm now hoping they release a version for the 6p with a solid black bumper + clear/smoke back. I don't like the clear bumper style they also carry, just looks a bit tacky to me.

I always found the N4 one to be ridiculously fat. The polycarbonate layer adds like 3mm easily to an N4 which wasn't that thin in its generation.

Yeah it does, but stylistically I prefer it; exposure in the back, protection on the sides. Its simply the clear sides that i dont like. We'll see. Might just go for one of the Adopted cases for now. Ringke cases are cheap enough that i wont mind switching later. Hopefully they will be thinner than the old N4 one though :S.

I've used them on the N6, note 4, and xperia Z3, and they have all been beautifully thin. some of the thinnest cases I have ever used. and they have even survived drops on cement floors in places like walmart and lowe's lol. i never tried the one on the nexus 4 so i can't compare.

of course I am talking ONLY the Ringke fusion. I have never tried any of their other style of cases but i hear they aren't as good.

Bleh they just emailed me telling me they won't meet their Oct 30th ship date. Looks like Nov 30th is the real date now. The thing that bugs me about this is that they decided to mark it as shipped so they get the money then they emailed me. I guess I will have to get a cheap TPU case or something in the meantime while I wait.

Their amazon page sure leaves alot to be desired. All they do is post a picture of the phone, not a single picture of the case they are selling. I won't buy a case without least seeing it first.

And it's gone...

Hope so! The fusion was my favorite N6 case. Tested over 10 cases before settling on it too.
I get the feeling that so many manufacturers used leaked images to base their designs on, and next thing you know... SURPRISE! Laser rangefinder. Back to the drawing board.

I asked them if they are canceling all cases for the 6p and it seems they are

It's back on Amazon with 11/30 as the ship date

So I emailed them asking if they were going to sell the case still or what. They told me they are trying to resolve issues with their manufacturer. In response to that I asked if it was worth putting in an order and this is what they said:
"Honestly, I would wait to avoid complications. We know that we are keeping the original in stock day of November 30th so far. So I would say place your order closer to the beginning of November. I hope that this information helped."

Bend-resistant case?

Hi all.
My 6P has developed a deformity on the case next to the volume buttons as it's bent slightly. It's not massively noticeable however before it gets any worse I'd like a case that is bend-resistant. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know of a bumper only case? Meaning it's just an edge around the phone but nothing on the back?

Rhinoshield makes one and it's great. But, it won't be available for a little while. Not sure when but they have an email sign-up at their website.

I don't know if I trust them with their estimate.
I got the bumper for my nexus 6P and pixel 2xl and it was my favorite.
I wanted it for my 3xl, which I ordered on announcement day last year, but by the time it was available I had bought a slew of other cases and didn't feel like spending any more. Especially since I only had plans on keeping the phone for a year.
I once again ordered the 4xl on announcement day and I'm trying to be patient but I've already ordered 3 other cases so they need to get with it and finish the bumper case already. A discount code would be nice too as it's not the cheapest case in the world.

Just checked their website again, looks like their bumper cases are now available for pre order with shipping around the end of November (so long goes the "early november" time frame they told me)

Totally agree with you here. Their website is now open for pre orders for the 4 XL but doesn't ship till the end of November, which is far too late for most people since other people would already have gone with some other case at this point.
I got a clear case temporarily hoping the bumper one will come out within the next week or so but looks like that won't happen at all :/

Just pre-ordered mine. Said Nov 29 estimated ship date.
+1 to everyone that recommended. Had it for my pixel 3xl and it's the best. Only negative the white won't stay white forever.

FYI. Case shipped today!

I'm a big fan of these but as I've stated previously, I've already purchased (and gotten free) some other cases and I just don't need another.
And I'm never spending $40 so I have to pay the $5 shipping, which is annoying for a $25 item.

For something other than Rhinoshield, check out XXXXX. It's a case with a transparent back. I am assuming you didn't want a full case in order to preserve the looks of the phone. In that case, this could be a good alternative.
It has protection on the edges so that the phone can take a few drops easily. Plus its cheaper than Rhinoshield.

Thanks for the rec.
I was sent the Schnail case that some got for free and that's my "protection against all circumstances" case. It's surprisingly great!
I just ordered the Rhinoshield bumper case and should have it by Wednesday and that was my favorite on a few of my recent google phones.
I'm using my google fabric case since Saturday and I like it too.
I also have the ESR Mimic, which might be my favorite. The combo of slimness, tempered glass back and grippy tpu bumper is really nice.
I know, at the very least, the bumper will yellow eventually but it is a very nice case.
I also got a deal on the Totallee slim frosted clear and it's pretty cool too. Absolutely the slimmest case ever.
I obviously have a sickness that's shared by many on these forums. Please pray for me. Lol.

I used the Rinke on my Pixel 3XL and never had any issues. Dropped a few times, no damage.
I've tried a few cases with this Pixel 4XL but I'm back to the Rinke!
Also have the ESR mimic on order.

I got my rhinoshield case today and it's of course what you would expect. Fits perfectly and if minimal as can be. The buttons are crisp and very very easy to identify which I truly appreciate.
In short if you like a minimal bumper case that shows off your phone without taking anything away from it, look no further.

Anyone heard anything on the Ringke Onyx? Had this on my 2XL and 3XL, but they don't make it (yet) for the 4XL. The Fusion looks like too much for me and possibly a lint trap. I reached out to Ringke, but it's the weekend so won't likely hear anything back until next week. May have to start with the Spigen Rugged Armor.

I bought the UAG Plasma, its a little heavier than the Rinke but fits great and looks like it would be plenty of protection from a fall.

I absolutely agree!
So glad I ordered one. I had it for my nexus 6P and my pixel 2xl and loved it. Skipped it on my 3xl as I had too many cases and now I have it for my 4xl and the fit, look and protection is top notch. Highly recommend.
I have bought too many cases again so I try and spread them out and use them all.
I like the esr mimic. It feels and looks great with the tempered glass back.
The Totallee frosted clear case is scary thin, but feels great in your hand. Only protection is from scratches if laid on it's back.
The Schnail case I got for free and it's actually quite good. Incredible protection but I don't have much use for it.
I also got the google fabric case, which I also had for the 2xl and 3xl. It's not as good for the 4xl. The feel of the fabric is better but the fit is not as good. It's not as snug as the past 2. A little disappointing actually.

I wish they would hurry up and release it into the Amazon store. The one for the smaller 4 is there but not for the XL.
