Thanks for the heads up, just ordered one to try out. They have sold 38 as of writing this so i doubt its for the first 20 orders as it says in the listing! 0.99GBP? I don't know how they make money at that price, especially with their postage costs on top.

how can you take calls when that thing hanging from the side

It folds over and the magnet holds it in place for you.

Only ships to Europe booooo haha

Got one at .99p but now see they have gone up to £3,50. Good case as a spare, but I never understand why sellers can get away with describing items as leather, when they should be described as synthetic leather or leather look.

Got mine. Not a bad case as it goes, for 99p.
The free screen protector that came with it was bent and unusable though :-(

***9.8.13--85% off---->XtremeGuard FULL BODY Screen Protector<----***

Finally, Xtreme Guard has a full body screen protector for sale: front and back. I love these products for their high quality and cheap price! These are not the cheap Chinese dry application ones! These are wet application, which I think gives a way better result! I had one for my gs2 and n7, and they're awesome. I highly recommend. And according to the photos, it covers the complete screen on the front including the curved edges because its a wet application. US seller with fast shipping. Here's the link from their website:
http://www.xtremeguard.com/LG-Googl...-4-screen-protector.htm?CartID=1#.UKuFT4fBEuA
UPDATE (4/10): Promo 80ff with any orders
UPDATE (3/02): Promo 75off with any orders
UPDATE (2/13): Promo 77off2 with orders of two or more.
UPDATE (1/11): Promo 70off with any order, no minimum.
UPDATE (12/17): New promotion for 82% off two or more protectors with 82off2.
UPDATE: 80off3 is working as a coupon code again!
UPDATE: Black Friday coupon code 70OFF1 still works for one or more than one. Comes to one for $3 or 2 for $6 and so on. Still a great deal.
UPDATE: (9/8) 85% OFF with promo code labor85 with the purchase of two or more from their website.
VIDEO REVIEW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQ-HxMUYnG8
EXPIRED: (If you buy two or more, the cost is much cheaper than eBay: use promo 75off2 (for 2 or more) or 80off3 (for 3 or more))
(Comes to $6 for three full body or $5 for two full body)

And for just the front screen protector: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-XtremeG...672160?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35c1cc82a0
(ONLY buy from eBay if you want one for $4, but his website is a much better deal)

The one on my Gnex is pretty much the same as in this video.

Though I don't have any black dust on mine.
With this price and NO ORANGE peel at all, I just ordered one and sent email to cancel my BSE

They are very tough and high quality screen protectors. They are very smooth to use on the screen and protect it well. You won't be disappointed.

i canceled my BSE one and ordered this one. i hope its good.

This might sound stupid, but how do you cancel your BSE order? I tried to view the order info but it asks for a login, which i never made.

I used these on my Sensation, they were really good, ordered 3 and only used 1,
Don't order from Ebay get it directly from their website xtremeguard.com
I found a 80% off when you order 3 code. (80off3)
so that $6 for 3 full body protectors.

+1
Just bought this, hopefully it comes in by Friday. I love the feeling of the glass on the Nexus 4, so I don't want a thick or obscuring screen protector. At $3.99, I can't loose much =D

Or 75OFF2 and order 2 for $5

Hopefully these work well. They seem to have decent reviews...

Xtream Guard protections are really nice, with nice touch feeling, maybe a little glossy.
But their logistics is terribke, they ALWAYS make mistakes in order preparation.
Fortunately, their customer service is very reactive and understanding. I think I'll order a couple of those.

Ballistic Case for $20.95 shipped (Best Protection)

Hello, I hope you are doing well.
I know hundreds of members here recently purchased the Google LG Nexus 4 phone, and many people are still hunting for a case. After hours of research, I have personally determined that the best protective case currently available is the Ballistic Shell Gel (OtterBox and Lifeproof have no plans to make cases for this phone).
This case comes in either black/black color or black/pink color. The official Ballistic website offers this case for $34.95 plus shipping (source), and the black/black ran out of stock within hours of being available.
Fortunately, TheCellGuru.com offers this case for just $18.96 (here), and shipping prices start at $1.99 (for the 48 lower US states), making the final price $20.95.

Great case and great deal! Received mine last Saturday straight from Ballistic. Was too impatient to wait for a good deal. I paid $37 shipped. It's a great investment to protect the Nexus 4. Highly recommended!

hey.. im really looking for a rugged hybrid case like the one you are offering.
do you guys ship internationally as well ? like other than US UK and Canada. I wanted to know if it was possible to ship to the middle east or India, preferably the middle east.

I want to get one but they are out of stock need it for work and am so scared right now this phone is super slippery lol
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

It looks like this just ran out of stock at TheCellGuru.com, but the official Website now has these in stock again for $34.99 here. Use 20% off coupon code ALL4LOVE to make it slightly cheaper, though still not as cheap as the original deal I posted.
Hope this helps,

I ordered one last friday from him and was surprised that I didn't hear one peep from him about the sale. I sent him a note yesterday and he just said that the listing had already told me that the item would ship three days after payment was received and they'd send me a tracking number when they shipped it. I've never bought anything from good sellers on Ebay where I didn't get at least some kind of note immediately after I paid for an item at least acknowledging they'd taken my money. And a terse and rude reply as well. The guy I buy my skintomi gear from emails me seconds after i pay him and ships the same day sometimes. I won't be ordering anything else from thecellguru, and I wonder just how long it's going to take the ballistic case to get here.

Ordered mine through CNB Deals on ebay here. Hoping all goes well, as I also never rec'd an email after I paid with pay-pal. Hoping I get a tracking number soon!
I wish Ballistic kept they're Amazon store stocked, since I have Prime it would've been a no brainer to do the free 2 day shipping and pay the full $35 and be done with it.

Hot DAMN it's $55 shipped across the pond!! No USPS first class? Disappointing.
Some guy's selling it on ebay with cheaper shipping... still $43 though. Might just go for the Ionic Guardian.

$26 shipped

I bought one from the cellguru guy when they were in stock last weekend, but got an email today saying they'd run out. Stating dispatch ~end of Feb. But when out of stock, delivery is anyone's guess.

I also ordered from thecellguru.com when it showed in stock. Received email stating now out of stock and wont ship for 14 days. Considering cancelling order and going elsewhere. Unfortunately did it through paypal so money is paid already.
Will update when I receive it. If I knew it was going to be that slow I would have ordered directly or bought the Rearth Fusion Hybrid.

I apologize for the delay. I posted this deal in three forums - here, SlickDeals, and FatWallet - so TheCellGuru was likely swamped with hundreds of orders at the same time.

Received FAKE Spigen Neo Hybrid *Lots of PICS* BUYERS BEWARE!!

I ordered a Spigen Neo Hybrid case from a seller on Ebay from the US. I thought everything would be an authentic spigen case but when i received the case today, i was wrong. please refer to the pictures as I describe why it is fake so that you too do not get scammed.
1 - the packaging is incorrect. The original one does not look like this and is not in green.
2 - it does not come with the jelly bean buttons
3 - does not come with the authentication certificate so that you know it is a real one
4 - the power and volume buttons are on the TPU part of the case, then just spray painted the buttons with silver while the original spigen neo hybrid has holes for the power and volume buttons on the TPU part and the actual button is on the bumper part which makes the feel of it more clicky and better.
5 - the engraving on the side of the bumper does not say neo hybrid but NED HYBRID!!!!! are u effin serious!?!?! that right there was a dead give away.
sooo please make sure you check to see if the case has any of these that i mentioned so that you too do not get scammed. these cases are not cheap so you need to make sure you get a genuine part directly from spigen or their dealers. I have already set up a claim with ebay and will set a dispute with paypal, hopefully i get my refund sooner than later... thanks!

Did you read the description? Sometimes they explicitly mention that it is not a genuine sgp product in the description.

Here are some rules on ebay..
If the price looks to good to be true it most likely is, you get what you pay for. This is what happens when people try to be cheap and not buy direct. Spigen has a store on ebay that is official.
98% of brand name cell phone cases on ebay are not official.
If you paid close to reg price why didn't you just go to spigen direct? Were you that hard up for a few bucks?
I have a fake otterbox defender i paid about $25 for for my S3, however i didnt get pissed after buying it and you know why? I paid HALF what a real one cost and for the most part its the same damn thing, it It protects my phone just as well
Oh and PS if you message the seller and show him the things that you know make it a fake, and say you are calling spigen to verify authenticity , 9 times out of 10 they will offer a full refund without even shipping the item back

Although I can't clarify for the OP. I also received the exact item he received. Some more notes:
- The counterfeit item is much thicker. Having now compared them. When I received my NED HYBRID, I was like "this is premium? I paid $25 for this?" Quality is very inferior in the knock-off.
- The packaging will have a model# for an S3 in white. They don't change the SKU's on the counterfeit.
- The 3d Authentication Sticker says "Official SGPSTORE.COM Product" - the real one says Official SPIGEN Product or something.
I think they may have recycled the plastic cases from a previous batch (factory left overs) and made up a new slip?
My seller was sino-wireless .

I bought it on Ebay for near retail price at $25 because it was sold out at the time. I actively chose one that said it was authentic SPIGEN, made in Korea, and priced accordingly. If I wanted the chinese one, I would have paid $9 for it.

Hehe on the 2nd picture, the one of the silver frame it says ned hybrid , not neo hybrid.

i did tell the seller and opened a case with ebay but he is only offering a partial refund of 15 from the price of the phone which was 20 which is bs, i got this because it stated authentic and you are not able to falsely advertise on ebay, i know still some people do, but ebay protects you anyway if such a thing happens. the sellers feedback was also 100 so i felt good about it, and it was from US n not international.

please ! report these dicks to spigen !

LOLz on the NED Hybrid I think that was the dead ringer for me.
have to say it "you get what you pay for"
I'm sure you paid far less than the $31.99 they charging on the site, that would have been a obvious sign for me.
I had a 7.99 off card they gave me from one of their promos, got the Ultra Crystal SP and Aluminum buttons half off, was a good enough deal for me, just ordered directly off their site with free shipping like I have many times in the past.

well the neo hybrid case isn't worth anywhere near 30 dollars
sad to see you paid 25 for a fake

this is why i never really take my chances with ebay.
id rather buy direct from people and know its authentic then take a chance n get ripped off.
i ordered the neo hybrid satin silver and its well worth the 30 i paid

Just yesterday I received a Spigen case for my new S4. Inside the case was a little card which mentioned authenticating my Spigen product. I thought to myself, "How arrogant of them to think that somebody would want to copy their cell phone case" and ignored it.
Well, I guess the joke is on me! Fortunately I just now ran the authentication on my case, and it's legit (whew!).
Thanks for this report, perhaps it will save somebody some grief. I had no idea such a thing was a problem....

Ordered a fake from China in red for 12 bucks.
I know what I'm getting at that price. Anything half price of the general set price is always a knock off.
Not spending 30 bucks for this plastic case.

yea, if got scammed as well, same case. but i keep it. it is a good scam with high quality, for half the price

I also got same product from ebay. But it's very nice quality for half price. I am happy with this deal.

I actually bought a fake from eBay thinking the bumper would at least be interchangeable with the authentic ones.
Also, another thing they do is put MEGR instead of MEGA on the back where it says the cameras MP.
Sent from my Ancient Atrix 4G.

My seller is requesting *I* send the case back to him so he can process a refund. I told him I was already in contact with Spigen (which I did file with them) and they want the case, so if he wants it back he has to provide a mailer/refund quick or it's going to them as evidence.
We'll see how he responds.
As I said. It's one thing to sale China clones that are obvious knock-offs at $9. But to package them and sale them as authentic at retail prices is downright fraud. My seller was US based and also had 100% feedback at the time. It hurts the brand. If I didn't know better, I would think "wow Spigen really sucks". Now that I have an authentic one to compare to, I know that the quality is far superior to the knock-off.

Even if you're satisfied for half-price and going to keep it, I recommend you put a neutral (doesn't hurt them) feedback stating that it isn't authentic. When I buy stuff on Ebay, I look for feedback in the neutral/negative categories to see if the seller is selling counterfeits. It helps others.

I disagree.
Neutral IS a negative in ebays eyes. .
If you are truly happy with the amount paid and the quality you got leave it at positive.
If your buying items brand new at half price and think they are authentic, then you are a fool.
The guy that paid almost full retail was taken advantage of. But sending the product to the actual company and dealing with reporting them and making threats and all this crap is just a waste, it's just makes you look petty. No offense.
Open a claim with eBay and let them take care of it.

Rhino Shield Crash Guard pre-orders opening soon

Evolutive Labs have posted on their Facebook page saying they will be opening pre-orders for the Nexus 6P Crash Guard soon. Shipping would begin from mid-January.
Anyone else as excited as I am?
Oh, and there's also a special discount for the first 50 pre-orders...
Wish that number was bigger, 50 would be done in no time.

Ordered one too with the code.
Got $5 off and then paid the 5 back in shipping, so $24.99 total.
Looks like a perfect compromise for someone like me that likes to keep their phone naked but needs some protection.
I sound like a condom commercial. lmao!

I went for the full package (bumper, front and back). $49.99 +$5 shipping, less 20% off so the total was $44.99 shipped. Can't wait after seeing the reviews of drop tests and hammer tests!
