Here ya go

Okay review but I disagree on the button feedback comment.
I've had my case for about a week or so.. Just took it off today and it is so much easier to press the power button and volume rocker.
They could have made that part way better, other than that I love this case.

Does this case provide a lip on the front to prevent scratches when placed facing down?

Of course not having a case will def feel better. And thats why I said it sometimes feel like there is nothing there...but it seems that it got taken the wrong way..when I say nothing there , I meant like it feels like you are not pressing nothing at all which is not good . sorry for the misunderstanding .
Totally agreed with the fact that maybe for the buttons they could ve use less material making it feel more natural

Yes, It has a lip and it does deliver some protection. However, the lip is not that tall though

Oh gotcha... To fix the button feedback problem... Use a sharp blade and cut small slits by the case buttons... Much better now.

I'd like to try this but don't want to mess it up. Can you describe exactly where/how you made the cuts?

look at the bottom of op post
I ordered mine on a Thursday and the button feedback was normal.
emailed rearth and they messaged me back saying all their stock are now 'fixed'.
perhaps it was a late fix.

Received mine a few days ago. The button feedback is normal as well. Maybe this is the 'fixed' one as well. Anyway, great case, snug fit. The only thing that is, have to remove it every now and then to remove dust that visible in between clear plastic and N4 back glass. A bit annoyed to see those specks of dust... Nothing major
Also can confirm the buttons on this case are perfect now . received mine yesterday.
where can this case be ordered in the uk ?
Amazon
I got mine from Amazon a few days ago and mine is fixed. Button feedback is great.

Hello all..
Actually i was using spigen ultra hybrid case for xperia z2 which is same as ringke case, from many days. Now the case totally turned into dirty brownish yellow colour.
Did any one observe the same on your ringke case?

nop at all! the only "down" is the back, since its acrylic, time to time accumulates some dust.
Got this case a few days back and it's excellent. Button feedback is better than without the case - indeed, the power button now works 100% for me while I was having trouble with it before. Fits like a glove, the cut outs are perfect, especially the mini jack - I can fit most headphones in it now.
In my opinion this is the best case I could buy. It makes the device feel a bit bigger and thicker, but I have more grip when I hold it, and feel absolutely protected. It fell a few times and got no damage whatsoever. The back got a bit scratched, but it's ok, it's two years old!
A nice touch is the tiny feet on the back, so when you put it on a table, you can perfectly hear the speaker.
Definitely a very good case.
Just made a review of the ScreenMate Tempered Glass Screen Protector for the Galaxy S4 by iloome.
Close up pictures:
You will get dust/lint around the home button and the home button sticker that's included doesn't help cover it up.
I have been using this for about 2 weeks and I am blown away of how well this screen protector preforms! 100% absolutely bubble free, very scratch resistant, super easy to apply, and looks like a product that could last forever.
Hope you enjoy the product review and helps your decision if you want to get the product, enjoy! :laugh::good:
Great video review sir! I absolutely love mine. Never going back to a plastic screen protector again. :good:

Glad you enjoyed it and I might just get one for my nexus 4 too :laugh:!
looks good! could you post some pics as well? specially around the earpiece? and do you get any decrease in response from the sensors as they are covered?
I just got it as well.
The only thing I'm surprised about is that, contrary to several threads here, it does NOT have Rounded edges. It's very straight cut and feels like it's scraping ur skin.
Very disappointed seeing as how most others have it but oh well.

Does anyone know how this compares to the ones produced by spigen? Also, is there any interference with the air gestures?

Nope, the response hasn't decreased at all from the senors or the screen.
I also have this screen protector. It is absolutely wonderful! Has anyone tested it against ghost glass or some other glass variant? I also notice a bit of a decrease in performance from the proximity sensor when removing the phone from my face after a long phone call.
I ordered this product on Sunday from Amazon. It's arrival today was heralded by a loud thump on my doorstep as the delivery person essentially slammed the Amazon box (which contained the ScreenMate and a Obliq Case) down and ran off. Needless to say, I was not surprised to discover on opening the screenmate box that the glass had been cracked.
I will be ordering another as soon as Amazon processes my refund, as I believe that the fault was in the handling by the delivery person. I do think that iLoome could probably do a little bit better with their packaging, however, again, I believe that the fault truly lies with the Prestige courier that Amazon used to ship my product to me.
I will update after I get the replacement ordered and it arrives.
Just got my iloome glass screen and its amazing feels like nothing there but I got a hair under my screen. Thats my bad but its nice and all the gestures is working for me. Very well pleased

Great review,
I purchased this product after watching your review on youtube.
I got a cheap one from ebay - seems to work just as well!
If you enjoyed this review please subscribe! I will be doing more of these & ROM reviews as well! Leave questions in the video comments on YouTube and I will respond as fast as possible! Like or Dislike according to your opinion!
This case has its ups and downs but I overall think its an exceptional case for the price tag.
Pros: Feels premium, looks amazing, feels good in the hand, great design.
Cons: Scared to drop it, weird way to install, doesn't offer protection to back & camera.

I didn't watch the video with sound yet... but it doesn't look like a full aluminum case... just a bumper (ie, the back isn't covered) so there should be no signal loss. He also stated there is "doesn't off(er) protection to back & camera.". So I think its just a bumper.
There are other threads that show that you have no issues w/ wireless unless you use an aluminum back.

Yes, you're right. It is a bumper case. I've heard even with the full aluminum cases that you only lose one bar of signal so it still wouldn't be that bad.

Yeah.. I did.. I got it from ebay. I explained that in the video and on annotations. Only reason I didn't post a link is because ebay links change a lot. Just go on ebay, type in Luxury Aluminum Bumper Galaxy S 4, look for a US seller, and look for an aluminum bumper picture with indents on the side of the case. You'll find it. I highly recommend it too btw. I've been using it for a week and it looks great and feels good in the hand.

You said in the video that you were leery of dropping it, does the sliding part feel nice and tight? I'm really happy with my Spigen Neo Hybrid, but I'm a real casewhore, lol. I get bored quickly, so I have to own a lot of options

After installing it right the second time, it does feel nice and tight. Don't worry I am too . Its like 15 dollars with free shipping. It is totally worth it! It does give the phone a premium feel and look!

Very good review. Couple suggestions... turn off auto-focus on your camera and then pick up a piece of white posterboard stock and a couple of desk lamps at Target or K-Mart. Something along the lines of this. With your existing good narration, your videos will be near pro quality.

Yeah but try using NFC with a full aluminum case. There is a reason Apple makes the top and bottom of the back of the iPhone 5 out of glass. instead of it being edge to edge aluminum on the back. Full aluminum definitely affects reception.

Apple actually puts the bluetooth and wifi radios under the glass pieces on the back panel. So they probably didn't see it as being a good idea to put those under the aluminum as well. An aluminum bumper with a nice glass, polycarbonate back could work well though.
I bought a Note 3 not so long ago quite cheap because of the fact that the phone had been dropped a few times and the bezel being plastic took a lot of the damage ( Pics below )
The screen was still almost perfect apart from one small scratch on the bottom left but that will be semi hidden when i receive a glass screen protector in the post.
Any way the bezel really bothered me as I always keep my phone in as perfect condition when I own them so it really frustrated me to see how someone could treat a phone like they had, As the chrome had gone through to the white plastic underneath in a few places I decided to use my little friend ( Sandpaper and create a white bezel ) But instead I got something in between the 2 of having chrome still and white in the bezel.
Its very hard to explain so just look for yourself
Although I couldn't mask the dent on the top right completely it is now improved massively.
Your feedback would be greatly desired.
I think you've done a good job there. Probably an irrelevant thought now but could you have bought a non functioning phone off the bay and used it as a donor for yours?

I know you can buy the midframe cheap online but theres a lot of process involved having to remove the display and everything. I thought id try the diy version first before having to dismantle the phone
Could you post pics from a few more angles? Thanks.

I fixed mine with silver nailpolish...
Little tip for people who are afraid of the silver on the bezel eroding: Clear nailpolish. It's a trick us women do with those cheap fake silver rings, if you put clear nailpolish over it, it erodes a lot less.

OHH ill have to give that one a go, im sure my sister will understand its for a good cause. The glass screen protector came today and has been installed and has completely covered up all of the small surface scratches apart from the deep one but even that doesn't look as bad anymore.
Thanks for the feedback omigo's
that is awesome job, how did you protect the other parts of the phone from the sand paper ?
Great job mate, love to see people improvising and having a go at D.I.Y mods like this.

I cut up 400 grit sandpaper into small squares about the size of my finger. and run it it over the entire bezel at first and it didnt seem to touch the middle section so im not sure how lol. i then folded it when going around the home and volume button to ensure I got all of it. Put something over the display to stop it scratching of course
Might be tempted to see what the bezel looks like all white?
Wow! Awesome excellent job! Well done! Impressive!

If you want some more grip get one of their matte skins or the leather black one. I've had them on my previous devices and they work wonders for it !
