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 !

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 saw in the forum that a lot of people are searching for websites selling SGP silk, slider or sgp leather cases. (sgpstore.com currently only sales stuff for iphones... so sad)
This french export website has all of them, even zenus and lamborghini cases that cannot be found on ebay (however I ordered a SGP slider but unfortunately it will only be in stock mid-september, other stuff seems in stock tho).
Registered shipping is not cheap, so maybe you guys would like to make one big grouped order to the US (and share a little of custom fees ahah) ! If someone wants to be the manager for that he can use this thread. However if you feel lucky or oder something around 20$ if I were you i'd take the risk of the 5$ slow shipping. The admin also told me that for air parcel registered orders you can ask them to put the order as "gift" thus lowering drastically the chance of having a custom fee to pay, if you take EMS shipping you are 100% sure to pay that fee. So I don't really know what would be the cheaper, a very big grouped order, or a lot of little air parcel orders as gift, your call. Anyway the stuff being totally non existant at any US or european reseller, even if you change your mind or are not satisfied with a case I'm pretty sure you can resell it locally very fast at a higher price than your order, hell you could even auction it on ebay, I'm pretty sure it could ramp up to twice it's value.
Keep in mind the stuff there is for galaxy S i9000, cases will fit the vibrant, but the screen protectors may not, so beware.
Here it is, 4 pages of high quality cases and stuff. I checked the prices with gmarket in korea and they are about the same with shipping and screen protector included. Example on gmarket you can get a sgp gariz case for about 70000 won with shipping, here it is at about 80000 won with the same registered air parcel shipping. A fair price if you ask me. The customer service is very good, they speak both french and english perfectly and answered my questions within 5/6 hours ! There's also a lot of reports that this site is trustworthy over other forums.

I was going to order from here until I got to the credit card info and was asked my birth date. I find that highly suspicious, and seeing next to none feedback about the website I decided not to order. (I really wanted their kickstand case too.)
Actually, having a redirection to your bank's website asking your birthday number is what most secured websites do.
I already ordered from them with alertpay I had no problem.
woops wrong thread
Hi, there. I bought this product:
http://www.exportprive.com/anymode-...attery-cover-galaxy-i9000-orange-p-13600.html
....and I would like to express my disapointment.
ADVANTAGES: It is really a natural leather....it feels like and smells like natural leather.
DISADVANTAGES:
1. The cover doesn't fit very well. All edges are visable.
2. Build quality is low.
3. It is made by a very thick plastick, so it makes the phone ticker.
4. The price is 45 $, so it doesn't wort it.

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 recently bought a samsung blaze, and love the phone. And now I'm looking to buy a nice protective case. I've narrowed it down to 3 cases:
http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/samsung/galaxy-s-blaze-4g.php
http://www.ebay.com/itm/FOR-Samsung...188781?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c6aca11ed
http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLEAR-BLACK...158681?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4d07ab7419
Which one of these 3 cases would provide the best protection? Feel free to recomend a case, though i'm not looking to spend more than $10 with shipping.
Any help would be appreciated.
Of these three.. I would get the powerskin. I just saw you can get it for $5, so I bought one. There is a thread here about the powerskin case, so if you head over (maybe you already did) you can read what some folks have to say about it. I will be adding my 2 cents once I get mine
I don't think any of the three you selected would be superb in protection, so that's why I suggest the powerskin. If you want extreme protection - from drops, etc - get a ballistic or otterbox, although I'm not sure otter makes one for the blaze. I have a ballistic and when it's dropped 3-4 feet I'm not concerned at all

Well unfortunately I can't give you the answer you are looking for. Coming from my exhibit, I tried to go the cheap route and ended up spending more money in the long run. I first started with a $4 'hard rubberized' case and the first one actually didn't even snap together. Had to return it - and had to pay for shipping to return it. Second one actually snapped together, but the first time I dropped it it cracked... and no longer held together. OK I thought, I will try another style of case. Bought a 'sleeve' style case (I think it's neoprene) for $3. When I got it I immediately realized that this one wasn't going to work as it didn't feel like it would protect my phone from anything. That was $10 that I no longer had and I still didn't have a case that would actually protect my phone from an accidental drop. I have kids, so I need something that will also protect those times where they pick up my phone (even though they know not to do so- but c'mon they're kids) and accidentally drop it.
You could spent $5 and get a case that actually does something besides protect the phone (the powerskin), but if you are looking for good protection my recommendation still stands with the ballistic. http://www.amazon.com/Ballistic-SG0...1356194932&sr=8-1&keywords=blaze+4g+ballistic. $17 shipped. I think if you are looking for good protection you can try one of those other ones, but you may end up spending more money overall in the long run.
I recently bought two of these assuming them to be the genuine Sony ones. The page claims they are and they even arrived in boxes that looked right.
They are Chinese fakes though. There are a few tell-tell signs like blurry box text and poor fitment.
Honestly, I wouldn't really mind if they actually did the job properly but they don't. Having now bought an official one from the Sony store (at double the price, sadly) the differences are notable. It's just a much better quality thing.
The fakes are much lighter plastic which doesn't feel solid when the phone is in it. The fit is too tight for the Z5 and would definitely scratch it after a few times slotting it in and out. The USB plug is poorly aligned so the phone doesn't lock on very easily. The rubber bottom designed to prevent slip is glued on so weakly that taking off the protective plastic pulls the rubber off!
There seem to be a few sellers on Amazon purporting to sell official Sony ones but, from what I can tell, they are all fakes. The clue is that they are selling them for less than half the price that Sony is.
If you want to take a chance on them, that's fine, but you should know what you're getting and it's NOT an official Sony product.
Hmm I'm a bit concerned now I'll ask my missus where she got mine from as the only bad I noticed was taking the protective of the non slip foam

I guess you were buying from the Marketplace and the seller is not directly Amazon. The advantage of Amazon is that you can easily return such products and you get your money back. It's impossible for Amazon to determine if sellers do ship the product they advertise. Maybe you need to look for one with a reasonable price and not the very cheap ones.

No it was direct from Amazon. They refunded me immediately, no problems there, just trying to save anyone else the time and effort. Trouble is, I didn't know how much they were supposed to be, to know these were cheap. Amazon was the first place I looked and they obviously appear to be genuine Sony.
Oh... that is something rare I think and never happened to me. But thanks for sharing this... I know it's sometimes a pain to get original accessories at a reasonable price avoiding replicas.
would you mind telling us which seller or maybe provide a link? I was actually about to purchase one last week.
This is the one I bought: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DK52-M...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
There are others which also look to be fakes too though, so be careful.

They're trying to tap-dance around the fact that they're expecting a Quid Pro Quo (a free case in exchange for a favorable review):
They're giving you money instead of the case,so they can technically say it's not,as you're buying it with your own money.
Yes,you're under no obligation to post a rating of any sort.
But,what they're buying from you is for the review to be listed as a "Verified Purchase",giving the appearance of an unsolicited/no-strings review.
If I were you,I'd report what they're doing to Amazon.
Show Amazon the correspondence you've received.
Yeah,you'll be out of a "free" case,but,JMHO,it's a small price to pay to help keep the reviews honest & legitimate.

I actually own 3 of these cases. I was just doing research on maybe getting an S10 for my wife, and the first thing I checked was if ArmadiloTek was going to make a case or not. While looking up info, I realized I never left a review on Amazon. Obviously, if I bought 3 of them, I like them, but people don't get to see my purchase history, so they wouldn't know I'm a fan. I just uploaded this review on Amazon.
BTW - For the price, I think it's hard to beat. Also, if they offer a free case to someone hoping for a review, they are also taking the chance that someone who's not willing to spend $20 for a case is also the type to bash them online for silly things. Unless they are actually soliciting a "Positive" review, giving away a product and asking for a review is pretty normal. Especially for a new company. I've been to plenty of restaurants and bars that offer instant coupons if you go online and right a review, or they give you something free for filling out a survey.
************************** My Amazon Review **************************
Now I can write a real review after actually using this case, everyday, for more that 4 months. I bought 3 Note9's in September because they were so cheap. I also bought 3 different cases. All 3 cases had built-in screen protectors.
Immediately after getting the cases and comparing them, I ordered another ArmadiloTek case for my 11 year old son's Note9. That was the phone I was most concerned about having protected.
About 1 month later, I had to order another ArmadiloTek, because my mom wanted a stronger case and a kickstand.
In total, I've purchased 3 of these cases in different colors. They are awesome! I've dropped my phone a few times, and I'm sure my son has dropped his plenty. He rides his scooter w/ a Note9 hanging halfway out of his pocket. None of the phones or cases have any damage.
This is definitely my go to case from now on. Not as bulky as other rugged cases, better price, and they work amazing.
I hope they continue to grow, so they can offer more covers for other phones. My wife choose a S9 because she didn't want a large phone. Her case cracked the first time it fell and the case is all scratched up, because it's not an ArmadiloTek case.
I got one of these today and have a question for people who have one.
is the screen protector on yours TIGHT against your phone display cause mine isnt. when I tap the screen I can see and hear the plastic protector hit the screen.
Is this normal or do I have a defective one? (and yes, the peel offs are removed)

It's normal unfortunately. Any device that has a built in plastic screen protector will do that unless you find a way to have the device firmly and stiffly up against the front if the case. You can try filling behind the device with small flat sheets of paper cut out to match the device shape on the back. Adding a rear glass protector may help. Just not sure how much it would though.

thanks, makes me want to think about removing the built in one (the website has info on how to hair dryer it off) and buy a hard plastic one.
the case is awesome though, especially for ten bucks shipped

I actually own 3 of these cases. I was just doing research on maybe getting an S10 for my wife, and the first thing I checked was if ArmadiloTek was going to make a case or not. While looking up info, I realized I never left a review on Amazon. Obviously, if I bought 3 of them, I like them, but people don't get to see my purchase history, so they wouldn't know I'm a fan. I just uploaded this review on Amazon.
BTW - For the price, I think it's hard to beat. Also, if they offer a free case to someone hoping for a review, they are also taking the chance that someone who's not willing to spend $20 for a case is also the type to bash them online for silly things. Unless they are actually soliciting a "Positive" review, giving away a product and asking for a review is pretty normal. Especially for a new company. I've been to plenty of restaurants and bars that offer instant coupons if you go online and right a review, or they give you something free for filling out a survey.
