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.

this isnt the same seller skrappi used, but its where i ordered mine, and its a buit cheaper, but look around, bsellers come on and offline alot with these things, but beware of the knockoffs, there's a knockoff called pepk, the best way i can figure to tell the difference is that the pepk case only comes in two colors

The pepk case looks more solid built. The love mei is more rounded.
Color wise they both have the same.
And thanks.

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.

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.

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

I have this case and it fits very well with the bumper on. A little snug initally but loosened up after a while.
I'm at work so I'll give a quick and dirty on the XDA Dev tpu case from Cruzerlite.
First off, the pics on the site looks like the circuitry was supposed to be goldish, but in reality is more on the maroon side. Not bad, just not like the site IMO.
The openings line up perfectly. The only negative is that there is a slight bubble on the top of the case. Not horrible but it's there. I contacted Joel at AndroidSwag and was told that all cruzerlite case are made by hand and will all have some sort of blemish. And he was giving me a refund for contacting him. Even though I told him not to lol.
Anyway, here's some pics....[Pics of the screen to the tpu screenside up on post # 7]

No you are correct. More copper than gold. But what I got was more maroon Still looks great, offers more protection than my diztronic ultra hard shell or my poetic palette.
As long as it 1. wirelessly charges with the tpu on and 2. doesn't rise the screen protector and 3. Fits in my Seidio Surface holster made for a Gnex, then I am sold!
My surface seidio HOLSTER made for a N4 is coming this week so It should fit better than now
Just got mine a few hours ago. From the photos, I was expecting a glossy case with a bit more grip. Turns out it is a matte finish almost identical to the Ditztronic matte black tpu case.
The graphics are a lot more subtle than the photos lead you to believe.
With that said, the fit is better than the Ditztronic, and I prefer the cutouts over the buttons instead of Ditztronic's overlays. It's a good case!

Mine was shipped on January 10th and received on Jan 14th preordered it in early Dec so I'm not sure. I do know I made another Cruzerlite order on Jan 8th it was shipped on Jan 11th and received on Jan 14th. You can pay extra for faster shipping i always pick standard first class mail shipping.
FYI if u put 3 cases in your cart and use coupon code B2G1 you will get one case for free. Its a buy 2 get 1 free code.

Send them an email. They probably won't respond until Tuesday because of Monday being a holiday.
Something that caught my eye:

39 RMB, though factoring in shipping you can expect to get it at around US$14.50

I am doing *not* an MO for this (unless there's really overwhelming demand). Just sharing something that made me pause and think about getting one.
If I buy one for myself, it will probably be this colour combination:
You can get all 9 colors from ebay as well

Oh cool, do you have the link? I tried searching ebay but can't find it.
wow.. Korean letters on right top don't even make sense at all..
they may have just thrown there to make it look like made in Korea or something...

Mercury is a Korean brand, and it is "产地:韩国,MADE IN KOREA". Of course, this being taobao, it could also end up being an imitation.

Found it searching "mercury e960" on eBay.
The blue & green is really cool ! The problem with this sort of case it's that changes the way to hold the phone, it's less comfortable.

I know right! I'm using a similar case for my tablet, and I take it out whenever I'm at home. For the Nexus 4 though, that could be a very dangerous thing to do... Then again, with the current case I'm using, the bulk makes it difficult to have a one-hand operation anyway.
Ordered this case on Monday from ebay, just waiting for it to arrive from Korea to Singapore. Ordered Lime green/Navy blue and Mint/Navy blue. Will post again once I receive it.
This case is pretty good. The tpu inside is a tight fit and the speaker, cut outs are ample and precise. The colours are pretty funky too. This is the mint/navy blue version. Just received it today

How do you like it? Do you think it's worth getting? I've been debating on getting the black/black one or the black/brown one...

Liking it so far. I think it's worth getting as it can protect the front screen although the power buttons are little tough to reach but it's possible to get used to. Using proximity screen off so that's not really an issue for me
Realize this thread is a little old but I just received mine today and am pleasantly surprised. I have tried a couple of flip cases for my Nexus 4 (Poetic, PDair) and have been disappointed. This one is nicely made, feels good, and has a nice magnetic clasp. I especially like the fact that, if you choose to put credit cards in it, the edges of the embedded TPU case prevent the cover from coming in contact with the screen.
It only failed one requirement I had for such a case... and that is easy removal. Since the back of the TPU case is covered with the hard wallet material, it makes it a bit tougher to get the Nexus out. But considering I have yet to be pleased with any of the other flip cases this is now no longer one of my requirements. A steal for under 10 bucks!

Otherwise check out the tetded flip cover, I'm using it atm. And am very happy with it, made a review in the accessories section

I'm located near Shenzhen China and have been to the stores, which are actually entire buildings, where they manufacture and sell these cases.
These cases are essentially replicas, but they definitely do a good job of copying the real mercury cases, down to the very minute details. Some stores have better replicas than others, for example these Fancy Diary cases may have the threading skipped on the edges, fraying, or discoloration. Here at ground zero, you can pick these cases up in bulk for $15 - $20 RMB which is slightly over $2 USD on average.
Not saying these cases aren't worth it, but just thought it would be interesting to let you know where these cases came from. Being that the price was so cheap, I definitely picked up a few cases myself for friends and family without even thinking twice.
Not being able to decide, which from the two should I pick. Any suggestion?
Tell me which one would YOU pick for yourself and why?

The top one cause I don't like the green in the bottom one. Not a big fan of bright neon colors. The top one looks classy and the bottom looks like a toy IMHO.

Wow - that is whack. I had it in my cart cause I was going to order a few things, and the price freaking doubled because of the demand. Meanwhile, I'm the one that created the demand and I lose out.

Glad I bought these the other day when they were $5.99/each! Just like I'm glad I bought my Spigen Tough Armor cases when they were $13.99/each.
I hate the way prices fluctuate so much on Amazon.

The irony is that given all these durability videos of the S5 being dropped, run over by Tesla's, etc., I'm reconsidering if I need one of these.
What is the benefit in daily use with a tempered glass screen protector as opposed to a more traditional one?

Several benefits. Feels like glass and is much, much nicer to use than the plastic ones. Also they will shatter in the event you drop your phone face down and saves your actual screen. This is great because it's much easier to replace a $25 dollar glass screen protector than a $100-$200 screen. Mime USA makes my favorite. I have used many over the years but none better than Mime's and Mime's customer service is superb. No one else's even compares to it. Would never think of buying any where else again.

How is the application process? Just like the plastic ones or is it ridged? I guess what I'm getting at is if I do not apply it properly or there is a speck of dust under it can I easily take it off and reapply? Thanks a ton for any info!
Got this in china yesterday at USD 4, not sure how it will fit on the phone, I don't have a S5, I got it because I was pissed, going to china and had nothing to buy, all the stuff I wanted was not available yet.

Issue is it isn't Amazon Prime so it is at least $8 in the US versus the $6 it used to be with Prime.
Do you guys really think this is needed honestly? I mean, the S5 is already stupid big, do we want to add more size?

Inventory adjustment!
Sad, now I got to go find more.
For anyone who needs to know, majority of the glass screen protector for the S5 does not have round edges, may be the next few batches will.
Even without the round edge, it shouldn't make any differences, the S5 edge is slightly raised about 0.5mm.
