Not sure if anyone has noticed but Spigen has started to sell the bumpers for the Neo Hybrid separately now.
I for one think this is awesome now I don't have to spend 30 bucks for the frame itself.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s4-cases/galaxy-s4-case-neo-hybrid-frame.html
Thats really nice, indeed!
I think I'm finally buying them. A complete one and other frames.
I noticed that too, but it's $10 for a plastic frame. :/
There's a thread here that discusses about a knock-off that's so close to the original that you can interchange the plastic frame. It costs about $6 for the frame AND the TPU.(albeit the TPU is of cheaper quality)
I was looking to get a new color but 10.99 is a little too much for just a plastic frame

I bought one of those knock offs, buttons on the frame sound really loose and you hear them rattling when you shake the case. I don't think the original one is like this

looks good, acceptable including the shipping fees

lol... well played.
Though, I did receive the TPU as well. So I was getting a full case which is priced with the market.(albeit a tad premium)
But for $10.99 just to change the look.... that's a tad much.

So if they were sold separate you'd pay 20$ for the tpu case alone? Lol

Well, as a package, I'm getting a complete case. The price paid is for a case that's high quality, provides my phone protection and looks nice. I would have spent this money else where if not here.
In this case, the price paid is just for the visual effect with no other benefit, so IMO 10.99 is too much for just that.

Quality is awesome and phone fit flush. I don't know the brand cos I bought it at one of those mall stands. I like it more than my tmo flex case.
Here's some pics

these are on ebay for like eight bucks, not too sure how much you paid. i have a case just like it except my back is completely white not see-through since i'm not a fan of the back of the g2x at all. it is a really great case though
Actually paid $14 with a free screen protector. The screen protector was the OEM one. So i thought it was a good deal...plus i really liked the case anyways.
You could find it for like half the price on eBay

Other TPU Cases - $1
Sparkly cases - $1.25
TPU Case w/ stand - $1.50
Aluminum back case - $1.75
Link to Amazon
I wonder why BoxWave is selling their cases so cheap, are these any good?
Lol. Boxwave cases are basically those cases you get from China that are cheap.

thanks!
The cases looks nice actually, and super cheap!~ In for a couple of them. I think some companies do crazy promotions for a limited time. their loss my gain! i'm jumping in.
the brushed aluminum cases look pretty slick. Will post about the quality when i receive them.
Xcor3 - lol maybe so, but what isn't from China these days? things can come from China and be good.
Wow, I love the book designed one, wonder if I could make one...I only need a replacement battery cover...Hmm. Good ideas, but for $14 with shipping...can't really go wrong, right? lol Thanks for the link.
The review I did on the Cimo S-line case looks exactly like their S-Line case, but it is only $0.50 from this seller. I would recommend this case at that price for anyone wanting a good TPU case.
I know the s3 Ballistic knock off case from them is garbage. There was no lip and the case could easily come right off. Might take a gamble on a tpu though, Can't really mess that up.
You can mess up a TPU case... I just bought one as a matter of fact. Bad cutouts, poor quality plastics, bad design...Lol

You most certainly can. Boxwave is simply taking a loss on their first sales to gain traction in the search results. Once their listing gets more sales, it will be ranked higher and then they will raise the price. Common Amazon sales tactic.
That's what I'm saying, most from china but it doesn't mean they're bad. I was just saying by the way ap3604 said it, he made it sound like boxwave is really good case maker when they basically buy from the chinese sellers and sell them bucks more that you see on ebay.

I bought one of the kickstand cases and it made it really hard to press the power/volume buttons.
I usually get the Seidio Active Combo for my device but paying $50 for it is tough. Love the case but does anyone know other combos (holster/case) of high quality for less money? If so then I would like to check them out. Thanks.

Otterbox has a series with a holster. I would also recommend Trident if you prefer a belt clip. There might be more.

Defender looks to be about the same price. I broke down and ordered the Seidio. Not a fan of Otterbox design and want to get protection on the device instead of waiting.

Good choice. There is a reason they cost more. I had the same (never replaced) active combo on my last phone for 2 years. I work construction, my phone/case takes a beating.
My dad has gone through at least 3 different Otterboxs in the last 18 months on his iPhone. The rubber stretches out and the plastic shell gets deformed so bad that they no longer stay on the phone. They are junk, IMO. We work together under the same conditions.
I actually just got my new active combo in the mail today. It fits perfectly. Looks to be another solid case that will last until I get my next phone in two years. We'll see if the kickstand can take the abuse of construction work for two years. I doubt it, not a deal breaker though. Shouldn't be a problem for anyone with a normal type job though. ..

Merry Christmas!!!!
Very good cases. Bought the black one for myself a few months ago. It's my favorite case so far, and I have a bit of a case "problem," as I'm sure a lot of you do. It's also considerably lighter than you may think. The pictures seem to imply that it's far more bulky than it is.
Lol!
I never had a case problem until the S4.
Now it has become an addiction
Before the S4, I never even owned a single case.
But after the screen cracked on my S3 from a 12" drop onto concrete, and the crap I had to go through with Austrian, sending back a defective replacement and not having a 32gb model in blue available to send me, I said I'll be buying a case for my S4.
Even though I have Tmo insurance for loss, theft, breakage, etc, having a case may avoid needing any replacements, but with the $650 or so price tags of the S4, I carry insurance just in case.
The UAG is one of the most protective of cases in a very minimal form factory, although @&34.95, it is a little on the high side. The sale price is very good though.
I have the Scout, and just ordered the Maverick.
These are cheaper on amazon and a better deal if you are a prime member as well.

The Maverick/Ice case won't be available from Amazon directly until February.
It's only available from a third party on Amazon, which brings the price with shipping to $30.43
The other cases, even with free shipping (available with over $35 in orders, or with Prime) still don't beat the UAG prices with the $5 off, of $19.47, except for the Slate model which $18.16, but that's only if you can get free shipping.

Take a look at this link. You have 12 battery cover colors to pick from, and will make your S4 really unique, and it looks pretty cool. I purchased the Dark Blue and Green covers.
Only $4.39 each and ships from New Jersey, USA:

Do these fit well? I'm always really skeptical when buying replacement battery covers for the S4 because it seems like they need to be so precisely made.

The fitment is excellent.
The locking tabs of these battery covers all snap into place tightly with no wiggle, along the entire cover perimeter.
The only thing which may be an issue, depending on the case you use, is that these covers are just a hair thicker than the stock cover due to the coating of paint. And I mean just a hair thicker.
For instance, there are no fitment issues with the UGA, Otterbox Commuter, Otterbox Defender, Speck Candyshell or Cynett Workmate Evolution cases. There is an issue with the Tech 21 Impact Mesh Smoke case because the Tech 21 fits very tightly with the stock cover, and has no clearance for the hair increase in thickness of the painted covers.
The Anker battery with NFC is slightly thicker than the stock battery, but the covers I linked to snap and fit fine, as do the stock battery covers.
Wow, I had a look and feel of this at Best Buy earlier and it felt so good in the hand. Major let down was that gaping cut out at the bottom of the case.[emoji26]
Was wondering, has anyone come across a case with same design and materials but without the lower cut out?

if you're looking for this case in aliexpress, selling price much cheaper.
FYI, i bought this along with official samsung silicone case.
both have similar finishing, both dust magnet. the official samsung tad wider and have slightly better overall quality.
