Ballistic SG for $19.76 shipped!

Just giving you guys the heads up, I found the Ballistic SG case on Amazon for $19.76 shipped which is more or less $15 off the retail price. It's even cheaper than it is on ebay. For those that don't know, it's a two piece sorta like the Otterbox Commuter but is a lot more protective and I think it looks a lot slicker. I had the SG for my Epic 4G Touch and my iPhone 4S and I loved it. It really is a great deal so I would jump on it, according to Amazon there were only 4 left and I snagged one of them.

Fairly certain. One of the reviewers says it is, and the model number matches the ones on ebay that specifically state they are. Also, Ballistic doesn't have one for the international version on their website, only the AT&T/LTE one. Good enough for me.

Thanks a lot. I've been holding on to my HOX since I got it because I don't have a case yet. Let's hope I don't drop it!!!

Why do you hate the commuter? That was going to be my first choice...

I think it's ugly as sin, and it is a major pain to put on and take off. I am going to be returning it as soon as my Ballistic comes in.

Just got mine in! I like it so far, it's much easier to put on than the Otterbox Commuter and I think it looks cooler. I will post a short review after I've used it for a few days.

Yep just got mine on too and man is it nice and snug I also have full skin guard on phone so I was afraid it wouldn't fit right but sure enough fits perfect and feels great I and it looks awesome with white accent of my white phone I'll post pics tomorrow when I'm around another camera!

Thanks for the review/pics.
I have a question, which pretty much is a deal breaker for me.
The rubber that is around the edges and on the corners; how bad does it grip when sliding in and out of a jean pocket? This case make it look almost impossible to slide it in an out of my front pockets. Thanks.

I personally don't have an issue getting mine in and out of my pocket, but I typically wear relaxed/loose fit jeans or casual pants. It might be a different story if you're the type who wear skinny jeans.

I gotta say that the rubber itself might pick up a little white fuzz from Ur pocket but I do have kinda thick legs so even.loose fit is a ill tight and I don't have any problem in and out of pocket the rubber seems like it is pretty "smooth" feeling lol

[User Review] Hard Red Case with Gel Black borders.

Hey guys, I just recieved this case that I bought from ebay and since I've found it so pleasent to use and to look at, I decided to share my impressions with you, so here we go. Hope you enjoy the pictures, I took a bunch since when I look for a review I want plenty of captures.
Starting off, the case is worth 8 USD and I bought it from ebay. I got it shipped for 4 extra box.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/370726530130?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Starting with the case itself, its made from a hard plastic cover, wich as you can see is coloured red, its smooth at touch but it has some sort of texture on it wich you can't really feel but its there. The borders are made from some kind of tpu plastic wich is totally flexible and I have to say it has a very premium feeling on it, and the back itself has the same feeling of being a nice material that looks and feels incredible.

There are cutouts for the camera, speaker and microphones, and there's also a small cutout that follows the earpiece's shape. Off course, you still get access to your headphone jack as well as the micro usb port.
The power button and volume rocker are protected within the case and don't worry they are very VERY easy to press, even easier that without it, unlike some other cases ( that I also own that are such a pain to press ).
Regarding protection wise, I've been using this case for just 2 days and I haven't dropped my device since then but I'm sure its gonna do well. The borders slightly cover the front of the screen and since they are made to absorb the impact if it lands front-faced and the back is a hard plastic wich its gonna protect it if it lands back-sided.
What about the feeling using it? Well, the phone feels very secure when placed into the case, it doesn't add to much bulk to it to be honest, it's clearly not one of the skinniest out there but it isn't that bulky either. It doesn't add to much weight neither. It's very comfortable to hold to say the least.
I have to say that I'm very pleased with my purchase, since it is very cheap for a case that for my taste it's quite handsome and well made.
Feel free to say if you liked this little review wich I never thought I'd do.

I've got 2 more cheap tpu cases ( S-wave black one and another transparent with a matte back ) but they are fairly similar to it size wise, don't think it's gonna help a comparison between them.

I think it's pretty clear in the pictures, isn't it?. As you can see it offers a little bit of distance between the concrete and your screen if it falls on it, so your screen should be safe from hitting the ground.

Neo Hybrid imitation, almost identical? UPDATED: Pictures and brief review

So, this was just listed on eBay. I ordered one too see how it will fit my original one or to compare it. It looks almost identical to the original one, especially with the buttons. The previous fake ones had the buttons intact to the tpu shell, this one isn't so it looks like the frame can be use for my original one. It's worth a try
P.S
It doesn't say NED HYBRID and the lettering is small like the original one

UPDATE:
I got mine from the mail, and good new people! IT FITS!
The case feels solid for the price in my opinion.
I doesnt feel or look cheap but I have to say the original one feels better.
The tpu that came with the knock off is more stiff than the spigen one but it doesnt feel cheap.
The frame look exactly the same with only differentiation are the "neo hybrid" logo and the buttons. Judge the pictures for yourself. And It does say "neo hybrid"
The buttons are not tight like the original ones, if i have one complain its the buttons, but they can be easily switched with the original ones. Push the buttons from in to out and they come off easily to be switched. That is what im planning on doing.
Cant complain with the price and how it goes along with the original ones.
They are the same thickness, if not the fake ones are a little thinner.
Look at the pictures for better judgement.

This looks much better, then those other fakes on ebay. I have also ordered one :laugh:

lol i was reading the item description and so blatantly they have stated "All photos are taken by our REAL item, not internet photos!" and the picture clearly shows Spigen on the back of the case. Maybe they hijacked a spigen delivery plane that was on its way to the US :laugh:

My guess is that when you get it, it will be a NED Hybrid and the photos they are showing online are not representative of the product. They are counting on making a quick bundle and seeing only a small number of complaints because the price is so low most people will just write it off as a loss.

I'd buy one just for the bumper to be able to change colors on my original silver

Title of the auction is for "Luxury New Hybrid" case.
Have the knock off manufacturers moved on from "NED HYBRID" to "NEW HYBRID"?

Did you guys read the side of the case where it says neo hybrid?

Most fake ones say neo hybrid in the picture but when you receive it will still say ned
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2

I got one also, i hope its thinner than the other Ned Hybrid knock off I got from eBay.

The only negative i can see with this case, is they dont have the same color as authentic

Whoever buys this, please post some real pictures and feedback on that case please. 10x guys :highfive:

Lok at the first pictures, at the right they show the available colors and that seems to be the real thing.
If you look closely, its clearly plastic and, if I'm not crazy, it says NED Hybrid...
And the plastic looks pretty cheap too.
I wouldn't buy that... but look forward for your review.

I'm also looking forward to a review...from the pics it looks like a pretty good reproduction. I'm concerned with the fit, I had a knock-off one for my S3 and it was really loose on the phone.

Sorry I did not express myself well. Yes they are made of plastic haha, bu I mean that those in the photos look very cheap, like toys or something, and even tough the original ones area plastic, if you look some pics of them (not stock ones), they look far better.
Anyway, I think we'll have to wait for our friend to receive it.

looks better than the $30 legit one i have

Love Mei Case Review

Hey everyone.
I've had the case for a couple of days now testing it.
I have to day... I love it.
Design:
Stunning. Smooth, solid, heavy and all round perfect. Feels really good in the hands with the rubber and it just feels safe.
Strength:
Stupid. Basically. Chucked in on a very bumpy and stone floor outside a work shop and couple of scratches on the case and that's it. Nothing came off it and sounded like I dropped a brick. Was sanding my mates car and painting it. Left my phone in my pocket and had a few heavy corner hits to it from the car and no damage at all. No paint inside or dust. There was a lot of dust in the shed.
Usability:
If you don't mind the Note 2 size but and thicker then this case will do you fine. No nerves about dropping it into water or anything. Used it in the rain and nothing. (Heavy rain for 10 minutes).
Cons:
In call. People can't hear you very well. The mic is covered by waterproof/resistant sheet which muffles it a lot apparently. If you don't mind talking louder you are fine. My Grandad is 80 and he could hear me.
The WiFi signal is dropped by 2 bars. So I can't use it in my bedroom. But phone signal is not affected.
Here are some pictures for you.

Yes, but this is a chinese case. As far as I'm aware, there aren't any fakes for this case.
It is suppose to retail for about $30 ish outside China. Charging $60? That's a rort.

Ok. We'll still fall back to the previous argument. "$60? It must be a fake since the love mei website sells for $96" At this point of time, we'll think that whoever charges higher must be legit.
For instance, I'm now selling the OFFICIAL LEGIT GENUINE Love Mei Case on my blog for only $300. Comes with FREE EXPRESS shipping. There will be some idiots who believe it is safer to buy from me because of my higher price.

Even while it is advertised as the Love Mei, the screenshots are from the Pepk knockoff which is known to have a plastc screen protector instead of the gorilla glass one. Look closely and you will see Pepk written on the upper right side.

Indeed this is not a love mei case at all. The case Is solid as a brick but the screen is plastic and things fall off. Plus it takes up to 2 weeks to deliver.

question about the case
I should receive mine in a few weeks as I ordered it on Ebay for about $33 shipped. I do agree that the Pepk is a knock off and doesn't offer gorilla glass. Anyways, what concerns me the most is losing certain features like NFC, Sbeam, 1-2 bars of signal strength.
I bought an aluminum case for this about a month ago. Unfortunately I had to return it because I lost one bar consistently. Now this even with the back cover of the S4 removed. You have to remove it to fit into this case. I took it out and I got the bar back. So I knew it was due to the case.
Now with this case, it's even thicker AND you don't remove the back. That means more rubber, metal to go through. That's what worries me most. Waterproof? I don't plan to swim with it or use it while I"m paddling a canoe. But for those times where I'm using the john and I drop it on the toilet (which I've done 3 times to my phones), I want to be able to grab it (yes, I'm going right in) and rinse it off without ruining the phone.
Some have said they plan to put a strip of copper foil underneath the case to extend the signal quality. Not sure if that will work or how they plan to do it.

I said it in anther thread too but for a leather pouch type case I wouldn't look past etsy, some really nice stuff, a lot of it handmade, many sellers will customise it for you and if you choose well you will get a much better leather than you would from a mass produced item unless you are prepared to pay top dollar.

Fitbag is my go to pouch brand. I love the beat black leather pouch as its got a lovely soft microfibre lining but they do loads of alternatives
Their website is in German, so you have to use Google translate or chrome, but they deliver just fine to the UK.
When you order just stick the name of your device in the box and its custom made to suit

Do the fitbags have a pull tab ?

No they don't, but the leather is extremely soft and very flexible (not hard and stiff like most pull tab cases), so I just grip the side of the case and push the phone out from the bottom through the case, it is very easy to do

The Fitbag pouches are already on Amazon UK. I really can't decide between the Fitbag or the MediaDevil, the MediaDevil looks like it would add more protection but might be a bit bulky for me

found this which looks good

I looked at the fitBAG on YouTube and not sure on the thinner material. The one from MediaDevil is thicker and has a pull tab. That said I stopped using the tab after a while and started to just tip or pull the phone out as the case took shape of the phone.
Being a thinner material and a snugger fit the fitBAG certainly looks to use less space.
I'm a bit worried after seeing the bend, scratch test. Maybe I need a stronger case.

I think these bend tests are ridiculous, if you're putting that much concentrated force into a phone to snap the screen in HALF then in the words of apple "You're holding it wrong".
If you need a case to prevent the phone from breaking when you do load it that much, then a leather pouch, regardless of how thick it is is not going to protect the phone imo
I treat these pouches as form of protection from scuffs and scatches from dust/grit in your pockets, and if you accidentally rub a set of keys over it.
I've got my N6 fitbag beat pouch that I'm using until my 6P one arrives, I can take some pics of it if you guys want?

I can't help but think it looks like a used condom.
Certainly still nice but I'm so used to seeing my pouch looking stiffer.
I'm struggling to find better ways to say this without sounding so ooer.
Do you push the phone up out from the bottom like a callipo ice cream?

Yeah kinda like that, cos its so flexible I push up in the middle and hold the edge of the case, pushing the phone out.
It feels very much like a slim fabric sleeve but the with water resistance of leather, big bonus if someone spills a drink on it!
I used to have stiff cases that needed pull tabs, but hated the fact that the edges were wider and hard to accommodate the edge stitching
The fitbag one has no seam at all to speak of, the size of case and phone is basically just the phone so it cuts down on the size of the thing in your pocket, which for phablets is a big bonus
Soft MF lining is really nice too, cos its tight to the phone, it cleans the screen when the phone is inside and then when you pull it out its clear of prints

Have used fitBAGs (all Fusions) for my last 3 phones (Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5, and my Nexus 6P.... if it ever arrives). Although they do not provide much pysical protection, and no drop, it has done me very well. I use a hard case when needed, but the fitBAG is my day to day case / pouch.

Hi there,
I really wanted a sleeve from SENA, but I don't believe their Android cases sell very well so I'm not holding my breath for a Nexus 6P sleeve (they themselves told me they wouldn't do a Note 5 sleeve due to this factor).
I snapped some pics of how my 6P fits inside my iPhone 6+ sleeve and also with my FitBag iPhone 6+ sleeve as well. The FitBag is a good fit, the Sena sleeve is unfortunately just a little too short to work well for the 6P.
Here is the Sena:

Thanks for the advice man! I got this one recently and i'm seriously in love with it. Such quality.
Also they sent candy with the package. They really make work of their stuff.
