I got it for $2.30 + $2.33 shipping. It fits great, looks good, and doesn't really add much thickness to the phone at all. It has a matte black finish, and a slightly rubbery feel. Not sticky like the gel case, though. It slips in and out of a pocket just fine. It fits exactly like the T-Mobile brand gel case, just without the added thickness of the gel part.
All of the corners are well protected, and the raised edge around the screen should add some protection there, too. I'm just glad I can set my phone down without scratching up the brushed metal battery cover (any more than it already is). I will try to post up some pics soon. Gotta find my camera or bust out the old N1.
I actually just placed an order for 2 more cases, and the shipping is still $2.33. So for under $7, I'll get 2. One is for a friend, and one is for a spare for me. I figured I'd get it now. Sometimes these deals disappear.
EDIT: To be more precise, the shipping did jump up to $2.95 for 2, so the total was $7.55. There are several different vendors on there with different shipping options. YMMV

just went to amazon to order one...price came up as $1.65 + $2.98 shipping. I upped it to 2 cases and it jumped to $5.96 shipping. I have no problem paying that for 2 cases but how did you get it to stay at $2.33 shipping?

Probably a different vendor. Like I said, it was the one selling for $2.30. Can't go wrong either way, though.
Each vendor has different shipping options and policies. I edited my post above to reflect that.

Why not? I may order some more myself. I still want to post some pics of it on the phone. I might get creative with some mirrors.

tmobile selling the same one for $16 each... wtf

I got that same case from Amazon (for a bit more $) but sent it back because it got in the way of the touchpad, which I use pretty extensively for navigating, copy/paste, etc.
For $5 that case is a great deal!

Picked a couple up. We shall see how good these work. The one thing I can see being annoying is make it more difficult to use the touch pad.
Boogy

The trackpad still works the same for me, and I have big thick awkward sausage fingers. This case is super thin. In fact, it seems to have eliminated the issue of the optical trackpad activating on its own occasionally. It hasn't done it once since I installed the case.
It doesn't seem worth it to return a case that only costs a couple of dollars. You'd have to pay that much to just ship it back! I wouldn't go overboard and order like 10 of them unless you already know you like it though...
The gel case at T-Mobile definitely makes the trackpad hard to use, though. Its very thick, even around the optical trackpad. Inner monologue: "Enough about the gel case already...everyone knows you hate it!" Is it weird I have conversations with myself sometimes?
I'm a cheapskate when it comes to accessories, so the price trumps all for me! Not to mention, flat black is always AWESOME.

this price is awesome. i ordered one.

$5 eh?
How long did shipping take?

Nice find man
Just bought one it was $2.50 + $2.98 s/h. Sucks when the s/h is greater than the product itself but oh well.
Oh yeah and I used the AMEX reward points too.
Again, good find. Gonna return this Tmo one to the store

can you post some pics of it?

Just ordered this case. Looks better then the body glove one
Sent from my HTC Vision G2

nice, it doesn't cover the buttons. i don't think i'd like it to though... feels weird.
thanks again

Just ordered one! Only $4.70 after shipping. Will post my thoughts after I get it. Thanks OP

Yeah, price jumped up for me, shipping went down.
$3 for the case, $1 for shipping.
Excited for it. Nabbed some (a five pack.) screen protectors for like, $1.50 and $1 shipping in the recommended items section.
Thanks for pointing this out, man. Been dropping my phone too much. :s

Is there any way to remove the cover once you put it on? its really snapped on tight. I mean the fit is great, but im worried i wont be able to take it off if i ever need to get in the back.

what i usually do is on the upper left of the phone (the keyboard portion) you can see a clip. I dig my nail in there and kind of pry that off, then shift the back casing side to side till all of the rest snap off. The top same deal, but I think the clip is near the search button or mic.
Then again this is the Tmobile Gel one. The one from amazon still hasn't shipped yet!

New SGP case!

Looks similiar to the rearth rinke and diztronic ultra thin cases. Try one and give a review!

Hmmm... you can get similar case for 9.99 though.

If SGP made a bumper, I'd be all over.
The ultra thin case does look similar to those on eBay indeed.

what is up with the cutouts on the render? they are awfully tiny on the volume and power. I hope that's not how it really looks but it's not really worth it since you can get the same thing from rearth.

I'll pass. I can have two different colors Ringke Slim cases for that price.

It also includes a screen protector. That's worth the price. Buying one now.

I hope they make a clear version :fingers-crossed:

not if you already have the screen protector. I might buy it anyways but gonna dig around for a coupon code first.

Only if they made a rugged case...

I just placed my order . I live in Canada so it might be a while before I can post pictures.

A Neo Hybrid Ex Bumper to be exact, and I will gladly pay $20-$30.
Go to their FB page and post that you want a bumper case, their already a few post already doing the same.
Sent from my Nexus 4

posted on their fb wall about having other thin cases out there with way lower price that what they'll be offering. also pointed out the how poetic bumper sales are thriving for their bumper case...
their response was "the price depends on what the package comes with"...so I had guessed they'll include their screen protector with the case...but still cant see why they proceed with the project when you can get the same case for around $2 on ebay..

This case is quite a disappointment...I associate SGP with making unique cases, not something so obviously generic looking. I'd really like to see them release something for the Nexus 4 like the Neo or Ultra Hybrids they had for the Galaxy Nexus, or the Linear Metal or Hybrid EX cases they have for the iPhone 5. Now those all look unique from the other stuff out in the market currently.

they will, it will take some time though because on the limited availability of the phone

I think the quantity of these phones in the market is enough to warrant a good sale...just look at the poetic bumper case :
ebay = 818
amazon = more than 149 (based on reviews number, so the exact quantity should be more than that)
They've raked up more than $10 grand of revenue from a single case model...
and sales from both sites are still counting, since other case manufacturers are still skeptic of the market size for this phone's casing...

received my case today!
feels nice, smooth of course lol.
but it feels a bit loose, but it does hold the phone in. The top part of the case is a bit loose with the phone in it, the bottom part is firm and in place.
Maybe because i have a back screen protector on it, but i highly doubt it.
gonna shoot them a email in a bit about it

this is so going to be a product marketing failure...
throwing something very few wants, in a market already filled with it, at a higher price...thats like 3 flukes in one go
its like selling shaved ice out in the cold, in the middle of winter, at a higher price than in summer.
disappointed in SGP

Did you see if you could bend the corners in for a better fit? Kind of like with the original, non-revised Ringke Slim.

What we really need is a case that only covers the top and bottom and leaves the sides exposed. Would love to take full advantage of those curved edges.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

The case adds very little to the over all size. It does weight more but feels solid. You actually remove the battery cover and replace it with the carbon fiber texture back battery cover. Again the nicest case Ive ever seen for any phone. I get people asking all the time what phone I have and half the time they have an S4. I started they strangers I got the limited edition S4 lol:silly:

I had an EVO 4g and believe me or not my son use it as his tablet (his 7) to this day. I loved that phone but most of the phone case for the S4 with kick stands look and feel cheap and plastic. For work I spend a lot of time selling in and out of offices ( the truth is I like looking right/good, House looking right, car looking right, watch looking right, glasses/sun glasses looking right, hair looking right and of course my phone GOT to be looking right) This case adds little to the size of the phone and it gets rid of the plastic look and feel because usually I rock the phone naked. Phone is in my hand now,"I feel Glass, Metal and carbon fiber (most likely fake)"= awesome. I know what your saying but this case look and feels FU%*ing right lol. Im not joking people ask me so much "what phone do you have" that now I tell them I got a limited edition S4 and they believe me.

I do hate how cheap our phone feels compared to the aluminum of the htcs. Case im usin now is just more plastic and im not really a fan of otterbox

dbrand taking preorders!!!

Finally, dbrand (our most beloved robots) are taking preorders for the grip case for the Note 9! I have estimated shipping date of February, I am soooooo excited!! I had a grip case for my note 8 and was the best case ever, took quite alot of abuse and worked like a champ. Can't wait for this one to arrive .

Nice, does this case have a back on it or is it just a bumper like the Note 8 one?

It looks like a thin TPU case, if I recall correctly it used to not have a back like you say so you can still use your skin of choice and was moreso like a bumper but a thick bumper with some snazzy D30 rubber on the corners for drops. I don't see D30 mentioned anywhere on the website, did they scrap it all together? IMO this new case looks kinda cheap...

Oh man.. if only they could do this. I've literally found nobody else besides RhinoShield that does a bumper-only case for the Note 9. I bought that case TWICE and sent it back twice after giving it a second chance. Their buttons on their cases are AWFUL. So hard to register a click. And they are barely raised.
Which makes this Dbrand case a bit worrisome to me. They look flush with the sides of the case. I wonder how "clicky" they are. Spigen has the best buttons, IMO.
If anyone finds any indication that Drband will give us this case as a bumper-only option, please let us know. Thanks!

I'm gonna wait until this is out of pre-order stage because I'm a bit anal and I need to know exactly when my purchases will ship. But one thing I noticed that I'm kinda disappointed about is that the curved design of the front of the case doesn't look the same as what is promoted. Is that curved thing only for other cases and not for our Note 9 or are the photos just not clear enough?
Also, with the way the back of the case is designed, does it mean we can swap out skins at will or is the skin we choose at checkout permanently attached to the back of the case?

The note 9 has been out 5-6 months now and they are this late getting this case to market, What Gives?
Just ordered one with one extra back.

Is that curved thing only for other cases and not for our Note 9 or are the photos just not clear enough?
Also, with the way the back of the case is designed, does it mean we can swap out skins at will or is the skin we choose at checkout permanently attached to the back of the case?

I emailed Dbrand about this but haven't heard back yet. Has anyone got any idea about this? Is our Note 9 case going to have the curved design like in the image above?

The Note 10 will be out before this case.

Anyone place an order for this case yet? Dbrand website still shows "February" shipping but no specific date. If anyone here has placed an order do you have some shipping info? How long before you get it? Any reviews online on this case yet?

I placed an order a couple of weeks ago and still have no shipping or tracking information. Let me go login to their site and see if there are any updates.
Just checked my order and it only says Pre-Order, ships February, nothing new.

Just got an email from them. They said orders will ship "Mid-February". These people really need to stop promoting products they cannot ship within a week or two. When did they start promoting this new Grip case? Several weeks ago? And they're still not available. Are the pre orders their desperate attempt to pay bills? And Dbrand isn't the only one guilty of doing this.
No further images on this case to help us get a better idea of what it will look like, no further videos, hell, they haven't even sent out any Grip cases to influences so we can see some YouTube reviews on it. What gives?
