Thanks!! I just looked up some pics of this case on other devices and it looks awesome. I read the reviews from the iPad mini and they aren't all that favorable. I'll wait and see how it goes.

I don't like to compare tablet cases with phone cases. It's 5$ case so don't expect that much. What I like about that case it's kind of black clear, so it's not going to hide the back of the phone that much. It's something to hold me until something good comes out.

So pissed that there's literally nothing out right now for the phone. I'll have a screen protector on this by next week but I'm bummed they didn't get models out to vendors or available to vendors in advance like many other phones to have protection ready from the start.
I'll be handling this with kid gloves until then. That, and buying any case out there that fits until the real one comes out. Maybe I'll do what I did for the Nexus S when it first came out... cover the whole thing in painter's tape until I could get a case on it!

I ordered a Microfiber pouch off of eBay for less than $2.00.. So I'll be using that until I'm able to purchase a decent case and my Mofi pouch.

hahahahahhaa u made me laugh bro. case like this cheap one I think it's going to look better than painter's tape I already got my screen protector from eBay. It looks good and shipping was fast and it arrived like 2 days ago. I orders this case regardless how it's going to look I don't care. I change cases like crazy.

I'd order one but that 5$ for shipping is ridiculous if you ask me, but whatever I guess it's better than paying for a new phone.

Hopefully the prices will go down once the phone is actually released... Or maybe T-Mobile will have a nice selection of cases in-store?

This case it's not in stock. I just canceled the order

Wow... that was really scummy of this company. I ordered as well after seeing this thread and when I ordered it said it was in stock. I just tried to cancel my order. Hopefully they will comply. I think it's pretty dishonest luring people in for a sale and then pulling a switch on them after the fact.

The link that the OP provided is to pre-order the case, it says it will be released on November 29...

I wouldn't mind the 2 weeks shipping as long as the case is worth it. I love the design but don't want to risk it. I might just get the spigen neo hybrid instead if nobody has any info about the brand or case.

Do a quick search and you would find that this is a quality case brand. They made cases for the s3 and iphone as well.
Most korean cases have really good quality even mercury which is the budget korean case option.
I will be getting one of these soon (red/black) version. If you don't mind waiting 2-4 weeks for me to come back with a review... hang on tight.

Lol I dont think I can wait that long for a review but thank u. U def boosted my confidence. I might just take the leap n get it. I love the red n black one as well. Appreciate it!

i want one of these cases too. i'm afraid by the time it arrives, the galaxy s5 will be out.
by the way, they're available at casefanatic also:

Korean Post is usually fantastic in their delivery speeds.
Anyway, S5 won't be out so soon, not since they announced plans for at "S4s" with the S800 processor.

I did a quick search on araree but couldnt find too many reviews, in english at least.. I do see that they made cases for the galaxy and iphone series in the past but I dont know if that can be used as a testimate to the quality of the galaxy s4 cases.

Thanks !!
Hi, there-!
This is David from the brand araree in Korea. I just found you wrote. Hope you find my reply soon.

Hello, I'm interested in the Amy case, but because of the inconvenience of having it shipped from Korea I would like to see some more pictures of it before buying, if possible of the Moulin Rouge and Chic Black versions. Thanks.

Finally gave in and ordered one of these for my girlfriend and myself last week. I guess I will find out who nice they are once they arrive. They shipped out about a week ago but it says it could take up till the beginning of September to arrive unfortunately.

Anyine fond of the tech 22 d30 cases?

Hope you can post some impressions and pictures! I'm interested in buying this case off eBay, but I am curious on what it feels like before committing.

I've had one for about 3 weeks now and have absolutely loved it.
I'll post pictures when I can tomorrow. I have the teal/pink one.

What does it feel like in the hand? Is it like a matte soft touch finish? Does the case add much thickness to the device?

just bit and purchased the red/black one for 47$ on ebay via EMS shipping, link here for those interested ($31 total for free shipping). I should have it by next Weds. This is probably the prettiest case I've seen for the s4.

a tad bit of thickness. But nothing like a commuter or anything from otterbox. It's still pretty thin. The back plastic piece had a pretty smooth feel to it, but still provides a nice grip. the rubber main piece (As I call it) has more of a matte feel to it if you will imo. Provides good grip. Still waiting to be able to get pics sowy. Should have them in the morning.

So my cases showed up yesterday. Took 10 days from when they were updated saying shipped on ebay. The quality is excellent as stated earlier. My one question will be depending on how the back plastic is colored how well will it hold up to scratches. Almost feels like a painted on finish instead of a piece of plastic that is died all the way through. Thickness wise it is a hair thicker than my Spigen Neo Hybrid case. I took a ton of pictures of my girlfriends pink and teal one and my red and white one. I just need to get them posted up.

CruzerLite Bugdroid case

I ordered the official case from google for 34.99. As reviews came out i honestly didn't like it. I opened up the cruzerlite site and there selling the nexus 6p cases for 9.90, but not an amazon. My personal opinion I've had these cases for every phone that I have owned and have never let me down

I've always wanted one, I'm planning on getting a clear one

I have really liked and used Cruzerlite in the past, but recently, I find myself really liking cases that have something covering the buttons.

Yep. I got a couple bugdroid Cruzerlite cases for my nexus 6 and never actually used them because the button cutouts were annoying to me. I actually prefer the buttons to be covered too.

Just looked at the product description for their 6P case and it says the following.
Precise cutouts provide easy access to all ports while buttons have been covered for protection from daily use.

Anyone get theirs yet?

If you are interested they have buy2 get one code if you want three cases. It is B2G1

I was really waiting for Diztronic to release a case, don't recall them going this late for a case release. Might just get the Cruzerlite clear, assuming they do shipments of those soon. I really don't want to get my phone and have to wait a week for either of those to come. I'm also not really sure I like the Verus case I got for $2, might just use that for more heavy duty situations. God damn I'm so picky.

I bought a clear one a few days ago for my 6p. If anything like my N5's it has cutouts for the buttons but the buttons stay retracted inside the hole.
That's great for putting on the car-mount as it won't press the buttons!
Still no shipping date, though

What color should I get for the graphite? I feel like the clear would look weird so maybe I'll get the smoke. Anyone get theirs yet?

Never buying one again. I've gotten one of these for every phone of mine since before my Galaxy Nexus. Seems trivial but after the G3 they started putting their logo in the center of the bug droid and I immediately hated it. My opinion but I liked the logo outside the droid.

So I ordered this without realizing they weren't yet ready to go. . Crap!!!! now I've got my 6p and it's all naked. That makes me nervous and the metal frame makes it difficult to hold. I'm concerned about it getting scratched up no mater how I set it down.
Anyone get word of when this will ship?

I've rocked cruzerlite cases for a while. They have been my to to case. But customer support sucks. Unless I missed it no where on the site says they aren't ready to go. No one answers the phone, email wasn't returned, twitter support is nonexistent

Never in my life have I experienced a company where there was LITERALLY no way to contact them for customer support. They ignore everything. Support.cruzerlite.com doesn't load, form emails through their site go unanswered. The phone number just points you to the support site that doesn't load. Finally, twitter and facebook are also ignored. WTF!?!?! This is messed up!!!!
I think I might try calling today and pressing 0 or mashing buttons.

I'm in the same boat. I tried contacting them for weeks now. Yet no reply. In there description it says date to be announced, but doesn't justify why there customer support is atrocious.

Spigen Ultra Hybrid Clear, Crack around the finger print scanner

i just received two Spigen UH clear cases, one for my wife, and one for me.. both have the crack bottom right corner..
anyone else have this problem???

Yes mine too, I contact Spigen.

Make that 3, small but defiantly there. Design or proccesing flaw. Contacted Spigen for replacement

Mine showed up the same way.

Anyone not have this issue?

yup...another one here. Got mine yesterday.

Received a reply back,
Thank you very much for taking your time to contact us and letting us know about your concerns for the cases.
The exiguous line near the camera cutout is a mark made from the manufacturing process and will not hinder the functionality of the case. Our product developers are looking into the design to see if we can make any changes to have this mark be less visible and improve the aesthetics of the case.
However, if you are not satisfied with the current case and would prefer to return the item back, please do let us know and we will do our best to assist you with the return!
Thank you very much for your understanding and we will let you know of any update on this case as soon as possible!
Sincerely,
Juan

Thank you for contacting Spigen.
As of right now,you will receive a full refund within the next 3-5 business days so that we could resolve this issue for you right away.
Please feel free to keep your current case as a gift.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

I ordered the Spigen as well as Moko's clear case. In the reverse of yours, I ended up having that same line but on the Moko case not Spigen's. I'm starting to think this flaw is actually a seam when they were creating the cutout on these clear cases that didn't get finished off or something since I've seen it on another brand as well. I liked the Moko well enough but it's in a drawer as a backup and I have the Spigen on now. I'm also not having any issues with the volume buttons that some people mentioned in the reviews.

I just got mine today. No crack!

I can take use them now with a dbrand skin on. At least I can peel a case off real fast and throw it back on when done. I tried rocking it bare and my back got all scratched up somehow.

Click to expand...

That's a generic Amazon response that means other Amazon members didn't answer the question. Probably because the case isn't shipped yet. If you didn't contact the seller directly, then you probably won't get a response. I've had good luck with other sellers going directly to their seller page/profile and clicking the contact seller option (I don't recall exactly where that is without going through the steps).
However, I picked up a silicone bumper for just over $1 on eBay. It's a universal bumper, so not meant for any particular phone. It covers the earpiece too. Can't see notification LED, but the only thing it affects relating to the earpiece is it's a tad quieter. Call quality is not impacted, just turn the volume up one or 2 more steps than usual. Of course, this case is a different material and may play with the acoustics a little differently, but I doubt it'll mean you can't hear callers. If you have concerns, wait for others to buy it and review it.

Relax. I emailed Tudia last week about the case and they verified that the images on Amazon were old and they they would remove and replace them asap. They further verified that the real case does not cover the ear speaker at the top. It's still coming. Here is their reply to my email.
"Thank you for contacting us with your concerns. I have consulted with our manufacturing team and determined that the images are in fact wrong. Rest assured, the case's design will have cut-outs for earpiece speakers. I have brought the issue to the attention of marketing team and we will be sure to update the images right away.
Again, I certainly do apologize for any confusion or concern caused. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions regarding our products."

The case is back up on Amazon. Says it will be released next Friday the 20th.

Just got my shipping notice but it's coming from overseas with an ETA of Nov 3rd. Lol

I bought mine on ebay for $10 from the same supplier and it shipped from MN USPS and i got in 2 days. Thats odd that they are shipping from overseas. must have sold out? but i didnt preorder, i ordered Monday night
