Aluminium bumper Cnc made it

Hi! I buy this bumper on ebay, and I think is very good choice for galaxy s4. Here the link : http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=300908845468

Only thing is the metallic frame must to slide on protector or plastic, to noot damage the screen

Neat! I wish Taurus would make aluminum bumpers for the S4 ,I loved mine for the s2,..only needed that bumper , screw it on you could take the back battery cover off with the case still on,...made it so easy to switch batteries,..and was very sturdy

The good thing on this, is the price. Taurus maybe is better but much more expensive and more bulky. No screws on this, only slide frame

So want this but with a flip down cover to match the old s2 cover...

Does it fit tight?

Yes, it has rubber inside.

Curious about signal drop with this on. It plagues other aluminum cases and battery covers.
Sent from my SGS4. Go Blue!! Buck the Fuc keyes!!

Is just a bumper. No drop the signal. With battery cover drops.

Update : missing the hole for the microphone on top.. I made it right now. 3mm drill.

though being on work I'm unable to go with the link given here . but surely will catch up it at night .. and if seems suitable it'll get a deal from me..

There more sellers on ebay with this bumper. This is chipper, and is come with normal screen protector and stylus. Outside off eBay on different sites, cost 29€..Oo..and there more different models on ebay also. From China directly is 8€ only

I'm gonna order one too, cheapest I found so far: $6.57 eBay

I dont like the sliding connector thing... the videos ive seen show the slider being kinda loose. I might get one that screws together instead.

here you go sir http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2013...er-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-I9500/952873724.html

Wat about this :

I would recommend going with a bumper that takes screws instead of the slide on bezel. The slide on bezel tends to slide off and get things caught in it.

A good case for Xperia L?

Hi all.
Can someone advise me a case for this smartphone?
(A case that you have tested would be perfect)
I ask this because looking on ebay there are several case, but some of these from the photos do not appear specific to the Xperia L, and given that this smartphone is slightly concave on the back I would not buy a wrong case.

it's around $13-14 on our country, unlike the one posted on their site..

EDIT:
I will not recommend this case anymore.. this morning, it had chipped away some parts on its edge..
meaning, it's already damage, and its less than 2 weeks!!

i dont think it ships to india

Hey guys...I am thinking to buy a case.so far my phone didn't got any scratch because the back cover is really good material.However,I never droped it so even if it's pretty like this,I don't want to risk.So found 3 cases that i like:
Case Nr.1
Case Nr.2
Case Nr.3
I m not sure which one to choose.I'm interested that they don't tend to stick to my pocket when i try to get the phone like silicon cases do and to be as thin as possible.I would prefer Nr.3 but I'm not sure because in the product description it says that package box contain only screen guard.....Do you think they fit my needs?Any other suggestions?Preferably any other link for Nr.3 option that contains the whole set.Thanks!

I personally like the second one most of your three.
But myself, I would love to have a "case" like samsung usually produces for their devices, which is just a replacement for backcover and adds a screen saver to 'clip" over screen.... if you know what i mean

I have a fairly expensive Krusell case. It's a bit bulky, but the grip is excellent and it solves the problem with the protruding power button.

what about incipio dualpro case

Another vote for ebay nillkin stuff... fairly cheap - around 8$ ... I'll post some pictures /when xda lets me post links/ GRRRR!

Spigen Neo Hybrid Case cracks at the usb

I have the say it is the best looking case out for the GS4 but the main issue is the case will crack at the usb area. Top first then bottom. The area is thin. If they reinforce it some how this would last longer then 2 months. I have never dropped my phone and once on my phone it never came off until it now. Am I the only one?

Nope. You're not the only one with quality issues on your NeoHybrid.
Mine had paint chips which appeared from nowhere.
Seems like there are some serious durability issues with the NeoHybrid case.

My GSII NeoHybrid bumper case took a beating and kept going with so much abuse. I have to say design is 10 durability is a 2!

Running commando now that mine cracked at both sides of the headphone jack.

Yeah, my neo hybrid for the SGS2 last a long long time too. Not sure why for the SGS4 it crapped out on my so fast.

I hope people know about the short comings of the case even if it looks like one of the best cases. I wish they reinforced the area or used the same materials like the GSII case!

I had the same issue. I contacted them thru email and they were pretty fast to respond. They ask me to send a pic of the damage then they sent me a new one and it only took 3 days to get here. Looks like they're aware of the issues because the new one i received is a bit different, the usb insert part is actually a bit thicker and less likely to bend and breaks.

Same here. Paint chips from light use. My case has never been mishandled and the paint chips. I have a red one.
I got so pissed off that I sprayed a clear coat on it lol. That did the trick. But for a $30 case it's very poor quality.

Anyone have images of the new bumper if the top and bottom is reinforced?

just ordered a satin silver band from amazon, hopefully it's the updated band but if not I ain't too worried about it
sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 4

Mine also broke at usb and I've never dropped or remove case, its just to thin there. They need to make it aluminum!

Heres the pic of the new one they sent me.. Notice tge difference?
I made a mistake saying is a bit thicker.. It looks the same but the new one with a lip seems sturdy when i try bending it.
As for the one asking for the headset, its the same.
I know the quality of the frame sucks but I do love this case...I always get a compliment how nice my phone is.

Xperia Z5 SCR42 case not working properly [lid close off] [smart screen]

I have a Xperia Z5 white with the official Sony SCR42 case in white as well and it seems the features are not working with it and am wondering if I'm doing anything wrong or if this is a known issue.
When I open the cover the screen turns on [Working]
When I close the cover the screen does not turn off and stays on [Broken]
When I turn on the phone with the cover closed there is no smart screen [Broken]
Is there something I need to do to configure and set this up or have turned on? I have the sony smart connect app installed, NFC and Bluetooth on.
Running Android 5.1.1
Build 32.0.A.5.12
Thanks for your help and any insights you can provide.

I'm an idiot please delete.
Need to tap the NFC on the back of the phone to the case to sync them together.

Just ordered one that's good to know

Umm does the lid stay closed by a magnet or is it just flapping around like the z2 Sony flipcover did?

Flapping around yes. The magnet is very weak and close to the left bezel, not to the right.

Is it irritating? Or worth the money?
Sent from my sexy Z5

That's a well made case but what irritates me is the window, I have enough smudges on my phone screen, I don't want to wipe two sides of the window on top of that. And it's not that useful (I use a wrist watch for time)
I'm not using it anymore. And the green case color gets tiring

Okay thanks for your opinion. I love the idea of having a flip case but they're always a damn hassle to use lol. And to be honest the window looks like a useless gimmick.

I love flip case too! Too bad that the official one has a window, previous models didn't have it.
Most 3rd party flip cases are a bit tacky too (reminds me these leather pouches people loved to hang on the side of the belt to carry their 3310)

Yeah I would easily pay 30-50€ for a quality case made from nice materials with great design. The problem is there's none lol
Using a cheap eBay cover on a stylish quality phone kinda ruins the experience for me.

So it perhaps should be not flip case. Something like this, I imagine:

Folio cases?

Hello,
Typically I just use my phones in the nude, but with my oneplus one I did enjoy occasionally using the OEM folio case in orange. I really do like my 6p, but its about the slipperiest thing I own (opo ruined me with that grippy housing) and it feels delicate. Does anyone know of a folio style case that can also reinforce the phones structure(so I can finally stick it in my pocket without worrying about bending)?
This is what I had for my opo

I'd be interested in this too, if it isn't too thick.
Google do sell an official folio case BUT I've heard many horror stories about it being far too tight on the phone and extremely difficult to remove, to the point of breaking the phone.

Does this case have a magnet to keep the flap closed? And does it put the phone to sleep or wake it up?
This is on my short list. I had seen it on Amazon

Unfortunately no to both of those. No magenta to keep it closed ( hate that). And nothing to put it to sleep. Wish it did have that tho. But I mostly care about keeping the screen protected and I hate face grease so lol

The valkyrie does have magnets to keep it closed BUT no magnet for wakeup/sleep function. The phone easily snaps into a tpu case that is sandwiched between a wrap-around cover, like a book, which gives it protection from both sides.
But I ultimately sent the valkyrie back because there are no holes for the front speakers/mics (the mics are in the speaker pits). This means you have to keep the cover opened to talk. And I just learned recently that if you try to be clever and flip the cover to the back, it will cover the rear-mic and that messes up the noise cancellation and makes you sound muffled. So you now have to talk on the phone holding it like an opened book.
I was seriously considering drilling speaker/mic holes and splicing in a magnet into the cover. But then I found this from tetded. It has a magnet for sleep/wakeup and speaker/mic holds. BUT no magnet to keep it closed and the cover doesn't extend to the back so the back is not as protected as the front. It also costs more since it's real leather.
I bought mine directly from the tetded site and it will ship from hong kong. They have other models for the 6p and some even come with a nice clasp to keep the cover closed, but no speaker/mic holes (why!!?)
