Never bought from Fommy, but. . .

It looks like they've got a decent amount of Nexus stuff.

Personally, I'm waiting for incipio

or
Seidio
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4025.htm

This is what I went with for mine:
Crystal Skin
Should be similar to the ones that were popular with the myTouch / Magic. The resin TPU ones.
And for screen protectors I will see if these are any good. Seems to be an invisible shield / BSE clone.
As long as they hold up until more accessories become available I'm fine.

I don't think the cases from fommy are good because some of the cases block the proximity sensor on the phone.

I've had the resin TPU one on my magic for quite some time, and its the best I have ever used. It doesnt add alot of weight to the phone, and lso one of the easiest to install.

I really hope somebody comes out with a carbon fiber case, that would be sweet.

I am getting the privacy screen protector from Fommy and I'll post back my findings on the sucker.

It'll be cool if moshi comes out w/ something. My friend has one for her iphone and it looks sweet! It is very stream-lined and doesn't make your phone any fatter. I typically hate cases. However, I think what moshi has looks pretty sweet.

That skin looks pretty cool. Care to share any pics of it installed onto your phone when you have a moment?

I know in the past people were saying that magnetic closures messed up the G1's compass over time. Is that turning out to be true? I would think the N1 and any other phone with a compass would suffer the same fate if that is the truth. I like having my compass..

I bought the Ferrari car charger from that site. I ain't get it yet but when I will, ill post a review.

never order from fommy! i had the worst experience with them. i ordered the screen protector and the clear case (both were pre-order).. and also another screen protector for my N97.. later realized they didnt have the cheapest deals.. wanted to cancel the order the same day i ordered them. called customer service, noone picked up. tried a hundred times.. emailed them as well to no avail. come monday, i get a confirmation email that one of the items was shipped. argh! finally after calling nonstop, a customer rep finally picked up. I can only be refunded for the two items that hasn't shipped yet.

Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with fommy. I on the other hand had no problem with the site. I had no problem calling them and asking them and speaking to a representative.

What about the battery they have...That doesnt look like the right battery! It says it fits 3-4 phones....Dosent look right...What do yall think?

Be very careful ordering from Fommy
Anyone with a few minutes should take a look at this forum thread. It is a long thread and I don't expect anyone to read it all. The bottom line is Fommy does not have much of a credibility when it comes to their salespeople.

after seeing a coworker's Bionic (lucky bastard ) which had the same style case with kickstand (apparently they sell those at the verizon store) I bought one from amazon as well. It should be coming tomorrow, so hopefully I can give a more thorough review. I've been looking for a kickstand case for a while, and none have been even remotely slim except this one.

just got this case. From what i can tell... it checks all the right boxes for a case. its light, its thin, its slightly soft but still durable, and most importantly, IT HAS A KICKSTAND. My only concern is the durability of the kickstand as it seems like the hinges and movable parts feel flimsy even though the rest of the case feels solid. On the plus side there are no folding plastic bits which you know will eventually snap.

Bad ass case, I love it. I had it for my Droid 2, Fascinate and my Charge.

I have one. I love it, and the kickstand is pretty sweet feature for watching stuff at lunch break in the conf room.
I broke off my clip eventually as I am always catching it on something while getting in and out of equipment and my desk chair. (kinda a wide ass). I super glued it back on with some Barn's FSA Adhesive and it's back in business.
Best case/holster I have had of all time.

It's pretty good for all of the reasons already stated, but my only complaint is that it's kind of a pain to get the case off if you're a guy like me who needs to remove it twice a day in order to switch batteries. That's all.

I have it
I got mine in a package deal when I purchased my phone. I love it, keep the phone nice and secure. I love belt clips, especially when you can rotate it. Sometimes I clip it to my messenger bag to catch videos of my bike rides. Once you start using the kick stand, you can't go back. Get it from verizon so if it breaks, they will provide you with a replacement.

Is it really made by Samsung? I need one of the "holster" with clip, so that I could use it while at the gym.

I just bought a new spare of these holsters from Amazon for $6.00. I go through a couple a year and don't want to come up short.
These are the Verizon ones and are pretty nice.

I can't seem to find the item on Amazon that you mentioned. Actually, I'm really just interested in the case part that attaches to the phone, I already have the part that has the belt clip. Have you seen where to get those?

Dam.sweet ass case

I got this the other day from Amazon. It's a great value at around 8 bucks. I'm enjoying it So far.

"DO NOT ACCEPT IF SEALS BROKEN" seals are broken

I just got it from Amazon. The first thing I thought when I got it was "wow, it's not even wrapped in plastic. someone can just open it without leaving any mark." I turned the box upside down to see what's underneath it, and there were two broken seals. They read "DO NOT ACCEPT IF SEAL IS BROKEN."
I opened the box and checked everything (without turning it on), but I was not able to find any flaw. I even saw an unboxing video on YouTube to compare, and everything seemed exactly the same.
So I have a choice to make: keep it or return it.
If I return it, I have to either wait until Monday to get it shipped or go to a store tomorrow. If I go to store, I end up spending more than $50 additionally due to tax.
If I keep it, well, I have it now.
Well I obviously wanted it as soon as possible, purchasing it on the day it became available. So I don't know what to do. Do you guys think it will be fine to just use it? I guess I can still return it any time (is it for a month for Amazon?) if it turns out to have any flaw, and because I really want to keep it, I feel like keeping it.
What do you guys think?

Well amazon do tend to break the seal to make sure everything is in there, happened to me a few times but as long as it works I don't bother with it. Zedomax had made some unboxing videos and his device also had seal broken but worked fine so if it works then I think you should be alright

Mine was the same, if that makes you feel better. Everything seems to be in order for me, too. Think I'll keep mine.
I did get a small ziploc that hold a small metal ring and several small black and white plastic rods, but haven't figured out their purpose, yet.

The small ziploc seems to be delivered, I've seen it on several unboxing videos on Youtube.
I think it's containing replacement "tips" for the S-Pen, according to page 38 in this manual (in Swedish, but I think you get it anyway :fingers-crossed you can replace the tip on the S-Pen.
Edit: You can see the ziploc in this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2LhHcbTsz0&feature=player_detailpage#t=46s

Haha, I don't know Swedish, but you are definitely right.

yeah hes right. i actually tried to pull it out and i lost it haha, thank god they gave me 5 more!

I got mine at Best Buy for in-store pickup today and immediately noticed that 1 of the 2 seals was broken. Asked them to go get me another one and both seals on it were still intact. Not sure what's going on here, lol

VERY ODD indeed! Mine also purchased from Worst Buy had one of its two seals broken but everything was as new.
Why do you think this is?

Jumping in with a 'one of mine was broken from Amazon' as well. That's less of a problem for me than their new shipping company just leaving my tablet outside the door to my apartment. Apparently 'signing' is too much trouble for them. Never thought I'd miss UPS

My G'Note 10.1 came wrapped in the plastic. You can see in this video when I opened the tablet, but then again maybe because it's the 3G version.

I don't know, the girl working the pickup counter suggested it could've happened during shipping... I think more likely an employee started to open it and then changed his/her mind, lol

Could have been a demo....

I wouldn't worry too much about it. That happens sometimes on Amazon. I think they are checking to make sure the proper item is in the box.
As long as the tablet has all of its original protective plastic on it and functions properly it is likely unused.

Please change the title of your post to lower case. There was no need to shout this. Thanks.

I returned the broken seal one to Amazon and they overnighted me a new one!! Seal was intact on the new one.

The ring is for you to tie York wire and the rubber stick is fir you to change the S Pen Lead .

Hey guys. I'm glad to be a member in the forum.
I just received my first tablet/android device; the grey 32 GB Note 10.1 from Amazon. It came in a plain cardboard box with no Amazon markings except for the text on the return label reading: "Amazon Fulfillment Services, 172 Trade St. Lexington, KY 40511" No packing slip and no padding/popcorn. The actual product box (slightly scuffed) had both product seals broken and says "16GB" on the lid's top in the lower left corner but the a white sticker on the side of the lid says 32GB.
Does any of the above sound strange? I think I'm going to return it unless you guys suggest otherwise.

Love MEI Case - Note 4

Ordered my SM-910C Note 4 on Friday. Bought overnight shipping. It will arrive sometime today. Looked hard at dozens of cases on eBay and a few on YouTube on Saturday. Even though this case looks chunky, the phone itself will probably feel huge in lady hands, so I bought it. The case shipped from Maryland and believe it or not, it arrived in my morning mail. Love this case. My fingers will have to stretch but it looks and feels like a tank ... I won't have to worry about whether or not it will protect my Note. Besides the size, just know, this case os HEAVY even without the phone in it. I don't care though. diane

Give us some pictures.

do you have a Verizon phone? The pictures they posted online only show one hole position and with the change in Verizon Note 4 microphones I am curious if they support that.

I don't have the Verizon phone.

I'm also have two love mei cases from 2014,yeah it surely heavy even without the Note.Firstly have one from eBay,disappoint that the glass comes broken and wait the replacement glass from seller and it never comes until now,if someone of a same experience from eBay seller? Again ordered from lovemeicases.com and get the case shortly as order confirmed and have it for protection all the way, firstly I'm hanging between love mei and lunatik and now come to a conclusion that the love mei case is a reliable one indeed if you don't care too much the bulky,for the case don't effect the operation experience as expected,let alone the extreme protection performance,the only thing you may care is going to buy from verified seller,anyway,purchase from eBay seller is not a pretty experience indeed....good luck!

Phone scratched out of the box

I have a 1/8" hairline scratch in the lower left quadrant. I'm going into a Verizon store on the 11th to exchange it. Some quality control Samsung has.

I know that it sucks for you but you have to think that even if 10,000 phones have a scratch that is a very small percentage compared to what is made. Nothing is perfect. Good luck with your exchange, hopefully the next one is okay

Good luck.. They will probably say you scratched it after taking it out of the box, and that it's not a warranty issue. The fact is these phones will show some age as they get used, what you're describing doesn't sound like a big deal.

I've already called my local store and customer service and both assured me that there'd be no issues within 14 days, but thanks for your opinion!

Should be ok if it isn't obvious damage was caused after removal. It will be considered a DOA device (defective on arrival).
If you go to a store they will push back since you ordered it online but they CAN do it. I worked for VZW up until Jan 2015 and would get customers calling in all the time saying the store told them they couldn't. They can, and it is easier since you don't have any out of pocket expense. If you call in, they have to bill you for the new phone and you get a refund when they receive the DOA device. Make the store do it! Also, since DOA no restocking fee.

Got a new phone today!

I just picked up a new edge to day and mine is scratched on both lower back corners. I was cleaning it up to install my scratch guard for the back and noticed them. Looks like I'm off to Verizon tomorrow for a phone and Zagg replacement. The real bummer is they did such a nice job installing the screen protector. Definitely inspect your phone before you leave the store if you have the option to do so.

Yup, this is what they told me. The store was even nice and noted my account that the device is scratched so I can't return it But on a good note I contacted customer service they are sending me a new Zagg screen protector and credited my account $50.00. It still ticks me off that the store basically called me a liar and said phones don't scratch them selves. I suppose it could have been scratched when they installed the screen protector but either way I didn't do it. From now on I'm inspecting my phone before I leave the store or just deal with them online because they always take care of me when I deal with them on the phone.
