About amazon and cases - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so apparently the ultra hybrid case for spigen was 9.99 then when i bought it, it was 12.99 and now it's back to 9.99?
Should i ask amazon about this?

Maybe you paid for shipping to get up to that price, it wouldn't hurt to email them. By the way I have that case and its awesome

Most Durable Case???

I'm looking for something that can take a beating. Otterbox or Seidio doesn't yet make a case for the 7" HD. What do you guys suggest?
No opinions?
------------------------------------
If it was easy you'd of hired the guy at Home Depot to to it.
There are no hard case yet for the 7" version. Only tpu and those folio cases exist.
Awsome case.
Just thought I would let you guys know if your are looking for a good rugged case for the HD7 the Poetic Revolution is the way to go. Can't post links but it can be found on amazon for $30 and prime shipping.
I received mine last week and it is really well built and you can't beat it for $30. The quality is on par with Otterbox Trident, and Gumdrop. I contacted the seller about making a case for the 8.9 and they said if this one sells well enough they plan on making one for the HD 8.9. They already have them for the Nexus 7 and 10.

Finding a Otterbox Defender in a store today?

I will be picking up my S4 today at my local verizon store.
Im getting the otterbox defender for it. However because its a friday and memorial day weekend the shipping will be delayed if I buy online. Since I just shelled out $700 for it I want a case sooner than later.
Just wanted to see if anyone has found one in-store anywhere like the verizon store, walmart etc... Help me narrow down my hunt.
Best I could find was radioshack says they have them in-stock in my local store
I only found a pink defender. I just bought a black commuter series for now.
We have black and pink in my Verizon store which all corporate stores should have the same stuff.
BestBuy and ATT corporate stores had black in my area.
Verizon had a commuter, and defender in my store. Also had the "woods" version

thanks, heading to get my phone soon and hopefully a otterbox.
AT&T has them

I was able to find one at walmart. Verizon store only had neon pink for some reason.
just picked one up at radioshack in mountain view CA.
I ordered it straight from Otterbox, loving the case.

my best buy had a black one in stock. i just ordered the redneck orange camo case.
I got my S4 on Thursday and my roommate works at Verizon so he was able to get me a defender for his price ($32 after discount). I ended up paying $20 for it because he owed me money for groceries.
I also purchased a front + back Zagg Inivsishield, because those products are AWESOME, but I think it's redundant to have a defender case & zagg shield. I may either return the otterbox and use a commuter, or just cut out the plastic cover on the defender.

I did that for my i5 defender and popped the protector off, it worked great and felt so much better.

Does the screen pop off pretty easily? I've noticed it holds the finger grease pretty badly and its driving me nuts. I want to use my Zagg shield on it.
It's incredibly easy to pull off, no cutting even needed. Just go inside the case and peel up the edge of the screen protector and it should come up really easily with no damage done to the case. I use my otterbox defender with a spigen glastr it's perfect.

Where to Buy Bumper in Toronto Canada

Anyone know where to purchase the official bumper in the GTA? I would prefer to buy it at a store and not from Google Play as it costs almost 35 dollars with shipping and taxes. Thanks

Hello my fellow Canadian,
I live down in London and was in the same boat as you. Everywhere I went it was either sold out or they didn't have it. Your only chance is to buy it online. You can check out futureshop or best buy, they have it on there for 24.99 with free shipping I think but they only have the black one. Ebay and amazon is another method but don't know about the shopping cost. Www.Puremobile.ca is another site but I think they might be still sold out. You could also check those Wind stands in the mall, I went to one of them before but they were sold out.
I ended up getting my white (they have the black one also) OEM Bumper from www.blueshop.ca. It was Free shipping just had to pay the tax, came in 2 days.
Don't know where other members got their bumper from.
Hope this helps and Happy Hunting .

Thanks my Canadian Friend! Hopefully I can get one at Wind. BTW, what are your experiences with the bumper? Good or bad?
I actually just got it in the mail a couple of days ago, I was using the Rearth Ringke Fusion case for a while and then the Spigen ultra slim one for a bit. So far the bumper is great. There have been various reports that the bumper's aluminum finish that goes around it cracks at the bottom near the USB port. There are various replicas you can get if you don't want to drop 30 bones on the OEM one. The replica bumpers also breaks in the same place. Keep in mind the original OEM one is obviously made From better quality than the replicas. Some people like the replicas more, no idea why. The bumper doesn't give the phone that much bulk and only protects the edges obviously. You can combo the bumper with a dbrand skin and it would look awesome and also provides scratch protection for the back.
So far mine didn't break yet and my older brother had his for a couple of months and it didn't break yet. So we can only wait and see for now.

Poetic bumper
Hey,
I'm in Toronto as well. Got my bumper from here:
Poetic Borderline Bumper (Blue) @ Amazon
Since I have a trial prime membership, the shipping was free. The bumper itself is awesome. Not sure how it is compared to the OEM one, but this bumper looks nice and gets the job done

Using both of them each of them has their pro and cons.
OEM looks better than the Poetic Bumper.
Poetic Bumper is less bulky and easier to hold in the hand compared to the LG bumper.
OEM has better button clicks (has built in 'clicks')
In Toronto too.
I don't recommend the bumper due to the lack of protection for the rear glass panel. I got a very sturdy TPU case off ebay for $5. A friend scored the same thing for $3 =.=. Takes a while to ship from China, but totally worth it.
If you really want a bumper over a full case, you can still find it on ebay for single digit prices. It won't be the official one, but I doubt the official one is really any better.
Blueshop.ca has it. They also have great shipping times and prices for Canadians

Go with the Poetic bumper. Not as pretty but feels better in the hand, the rubber part grips better on flat surfaces and it's 1/3 of the price of the official bumper.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
There you go. Poetic bumper on amazon.ca for a great price and shipping. Since all the bumper's crack at the bottom eventually and you might possibly don't want to drop 30 bucks for a OEM one, you should get the poetic one. I only got the OEM Bumper cause I wanted white

Go to pacific mall!!!!
Really? Would PMall have Nexus 4 cases?
For OEM bumper, I think your best bet is as Kendaihou mentioned, futureshop or best buy.
If ever you pass by Quebec, you can get at a Videotron shop for $20 (this is where i got mine, and they used to carry a ton of them).
The reason that the grey plastic below the usb port cracks is due to bending with installation/removal. I find out if you don't remove the case often and only remove/bend it from the TOP corners, the plastic at the bottom of the usb port shouldl not crack.
And by the way, nothing beats OEM quality

Urban Armor Gear Case drop test & lip Comparioson | By Snntec

Decided to seek out a more rugged case For my galaxy S4, and stumbled upon the UAG(Urban Armor Case). Though this case does add bulk, i was extremely confident with my phone taking a fall. I even conducted a small drop test in this video. though in the video i said this case was $15.90 on amazon, the price actually fluctuates, as of today(07/21/13) the price has increased.

I ordered one actually before I got my s4. I love it. It is not as bulky as I thought it would be when I saw the picture.

I ordered directly from Amazon LLC and received two fake cases from them in a row.
Just make sure when you receive the case, check to make sure it is legit.

I'm looking for some accessory promo codes

Hey guys, I pre-ordered my Note 7 and I started looking over at cases. I usually buy a case or 2 with a good review but since no one has the phone yet, I'm taking a chance based on my previous experiences with different companies Spigen, Poetic, etc. I also order 3-4 cases at once so I can use the best one for my needs. :good:
Are there any active promo codes out there anyone can share? I'm in the buying mood and want to have a case on the phone when it gets here. I'm looking at the https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Spige...470339505&sr=8-13&keywords=spigen+case+note+7 but don't want to pay $35 for one just yet.
Try to include the company, company link and promo code with a description. I figure this would be beneficial for everyone.
Edit: Starting it off with .99 cases!!!

Not a promo but it is on sale since I bought mine on Monday for $8, its now $5. It is more of a rugged drop protection case to hold me over until the Otterbox Defender becomes available.

Yes sir, can't beat $5 with free 2 day shipping. I've actually searched for your YouTube videos on the Unicorn Bettle Pro to possibly get that instead of the Otterbox Defender because it's not available yet but decided to wait and use this cheap $5 for now. How would you compare the Bettle Pro to a Defender regarding drop protection?

if you searched I'm sure you found my videos, channel is techbswift. I have the pro and the regular model and I most say I love my supcases over otterbox. Don't get me wrong otterbox makes solid cases but the supcases seem sexier will providing the same amount of protection.
Also not a promo, but the Orzly cases for Note7 are currently all £2.99 / $2.99 each on Amazon. I bought all 4!
