alibaba is the parent company of taobao.
now i am truly happy that i am in the same province as the seller. With shipping it comes out to be 80 RMB, which is like usd~15. way too expensive for a bumper (in Chinese currency).
ordering one now and will report back. i don't have the official one to compare with though.
PS the seller has pretty good rep, and he said the bumper is oem and made of aluminum. it is not the same one but is of the same quality and material.

I'm guessing dirt and debris between the tpu and phone, if left there will scratch up anything.

Cruzerlite bumper cases

I got these case's in for review.
Everything from the box to the case it's self is absolutely top notch.
The box has evolved so much since I first purchased a cruzerlite case. It has a nice see thru Window that let's you see your case before you even touch it, and pulls out nicely to introduce you to your new case.
Enough about the packaging! The new bumper cases are frigging sweet. I have had so many cases for the s4 and I wish I would have seen these first. The offer very good protection and little to no bulk. In my opinion these bumper cases are how crapple should have made theres.
I have used this case all day today and can tell you all this its very slim and yet still adds a fair amount of protection. All of the buttons line up perfectly as expected, and there is even a good size lip on the front to protect your screen when laid face down. All in all guys and gals go purchase these if you like slim but trustworthy protection!!! You won't be disappointed !!!
Here is where to find them

A review in exchange for free product is a bribe.

I've purchased around ten cruzerlite cases and they asked me to review these for them and they know I'm honest guy take it as you will just figured I'd post it because they are very nice
I'd also say that's just good customer service!!!

Yes. Its journalistic integrity. That's why when a site gets something for review they give it away. Companies know this so they turn to end users that like getting free stuff.

I saw that too. Search ebay for Dot View Case and you'll find the same case sold by sellers who don't offer such bull**** shipping prices.

If you buy a case please try it on lollipop and inform me if it works properly
Sent from my SM-N910C using XDA Free mobile app

It works with lollipop

I suggest not to buy the case. First it works with the proximity sensor not the magnetic one. So anytime you reach for top of the screen there is a chance that proximity sensor triggers lock screen.
Second, software design is so bad. It doesn't generate good looking effect like HTC cases. Actually it is hard to guess what's displaying in the screen you just should guess. I bought one and Jay use it for a day.

It worths to try for 5$. If you don't like, you uninstall software and use case as usual.

I just picked one up. I am afraid to install the software because its some server based in China. The software should be similar to all, no? ¹
The one that I have is very similar to the ones linked here. The only difference is that the HOME key is oval vs rectangular. There is also a circle to the left of the home key when the case is closed. I do not know if that is a magnet or if that is simply there for design.

I didn't know that case was a thing, haha. I have the official LED case and it runs fine lollipop. Try this. Make sure "led indicator" or whatever they call it is on in display and then reboot. I was having certain things not show up and now asides from the fact that weather has never worked on my locks creep I'm golden.

Guys I bought this case, working decent enough, but I expected more. Cost me 10 bucks, lollipop 910t user here

I got the UAG protective case for my S4 which is not available in India and trust me its the best I've had.
Also check out otterbox cases.

Tech21 Evo Check

Picked up this case from Verizon ended up being $30 after my discount I absolutely love it. Excellent feel in the hands and doesn't seem too bulky. Worth the money in my opinion wanted to share some pics.

Love this case. I have it in smokey black for my quite black Pixel XL

My only gripe about these cases is that they have terrible button feedback/pressing.

Only my power button is tough but seems to be getting better with usage

Yep awesome case but the button feedback is horrible. Especially the power button, have been using it for a few months now.

The buttons are a bit rigid but the case is so nice in hand that it overshadows that negative
