The Most Perfect Case EVER, and it's only $4 BUX!

Often times when a new phone come out, I take a chance and order a cheapy case on eBay for $2 and end up throwing away when it arrives due to it being cheap mis-fitting junk.
However, I came across the cases listed below from seller AccStation on eBay, and decided to take a chance. They sell them for $3.50 with free shipping (tho I had to pay tax since I'm in CA). It arrived and was like Christmas day. I'm not even kidding. I've had hundreds of mobile devices, and thousands of cases in my life, and this is hands-down the most 100% perfect fitting, most amazingly cut case I've ever bought, and it was only four bux! The camera cutout is EXACT, it's like the phone was dipped in the rubber. There's no lose\off-cut pieces. The shell is incredibly thin, and it's a material that doesn't stick to the inside of your pocket when you put it in and out.
I am ordering more from this seller to have as backups. Right now they're out of stock, so they raised the price to $100 to not sell any, but watch their website and grab them when they're back in stock. I can't even begin to tell you how impressed I am with the quality and fit of this case, it's as if my phone was dipped in the rubber, it just is 100% spot-on!

And no I don't work for this company, haha.

Bought what appears to be the same case in gray (clear frost smoke circle) from amazon for $4.99. The amazon seller was eforcity I believe. Case is amazing I have to agree.

Yeah, AccStation and eForcity are the same company... based out of Costa Mesa I believe. I think they're just an importer from china... and like most they get crap 99% of the time, but this is certainly one of the 1% when they got it absolutely right.

I ordered a 2 pack of those before I got my phone. I used it for about a week before switching to the Best Buy/seidio case. The TPU cases fit great , I just didnt like that they were flush with the camera lense so no protection if you laid it down on the back. Also (only happened once) I had the case bind up somehow and jammed the volume down key pressed. Im still hanging on to the case though, Im sure Ill switch back and forth between the two.

That would certainly explain the similarities. Hahaha. And I agree on the camera coverage. It just misses going past the camera to protect it.

Mine has about a 1mm protrusion around the camera so the lens doesn't lay flat against a surface. It's one of the reasons I preferred this case to any others. The camera lenses have a plastic cover over them to begin with, so they're fairly resistant anyhow. I just don't like how some cases add so much bulk to the back of android phones, mainly because of the camera.
I haven't had a volume key issue, that would be annoying.

Was able to get it to load, looks like this seller is selling them directly from China (no other explanation as to why it'd take 3-5 WEEKS for delivery).
I'd recommend waiting till AccStation on ebay or Accstation.com has them back in stock and order from them. Mine took about a week to arrive.

I used to use one of these for my old iPhone 3G. They do work pretty well. One problem that can arise though if you have a screen protector it can cause it to peel because of where the edges are.

I can refute this issue. I have a Zagg InvisiShield on mine, and it causes no issue. the case doesn't even touch the screen protector.
While on some models I can see this as an issue, the real question is the quality of your screen protector. A quality screen protector will not peel due to friction with a case. I've had cheap screen protectors that peel, and my last few phones I've gone with Zagg as they just stay on and I don't have to worry about peeling. To me it's worth the price. This particular case doesn't touch the screen protector in any way tho. I tried to take a pic showing it but without a DSLR I can't get in tight enough without blurr.

My friend had a zagg on his iphone 3gs and it peeled big time. I got another friend with an iphone 4 and he has the zagg. He says he has gone through a bunch of them because they peel at the corner where the camera is. I used to have a zagg too. It wasn't too bad. I've used bodyguardz and bestskinsever too. They are all about the same. Zagg is a little thicker I think with more orange peel though. I use bestskinsever now because they are less than half the price of zagg or bodyguardz.

Ohhh, we're talking about two different things. When I say Zagg I'm referring ONLY to the SCREEN protector product. I can certainly see how a complete skin\body cover would peel when putting a case on or off. I'm not sure why someone would use a complete skin and then also put a case on it, but hey, to each his own.
From past experience, 90% of people who ahve peeling problems with Zagg is because of improper installation. Most people who have Zagg don't ever have issues with them, but I've seen many peel where someone's fingers aren't wet when they install the corners, therefor it strips some of the glue from under the edge weakening the bond causing peeling.
Not sure why one would want to completely wrap their phone in a plastic lining... why not just carry your phone in a zip-loc bag? hehe. I guess there are those odd people who cover their couches in plastic too, haha

I'm only referring to screen protector as well...but the zagg for the iphone is the same front and back minus the whole for the camera.

By the way, my Inspire has a body skin on it from bestskinsever. I don't have a case on it though. It's nice carrying it around with no case. I got used to that when I put a body skin on my old iphone 3g.

Yeah I too prefer not having a case because most cases make the phone look too bulky, hence why I wrote this raving review I normally wouldn't since this skin adds almost no bulk.
Funny how those who say this case = bad because it doesn't protect the camera sufficiently go on to say that a bodyshield is good, which provides NO protection to the camera , haha

I didn't say it doesn't protect the camera sufficiently. Matter of fact, the only reason I would sport this case is if I do want to protect the camera. The other case that I like is the case-mate, but that is 20. I'm sure I'll pick one of these up though. I'd like protection when I go traveling on vacation.

Nice case. I almost bought one last week. Wish I had because the Body glove one I have sucks.

I returned my body glove to ATT... they hassled me to give me my corporate 25% off saying it's a "high-demand" case... I showed them in my Premier Contract that I get 25% off and after talking to a manager I was able to get the discount, so I can't say I was upset to return it, haha. I'm so over AT&T stores treating every launch like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, haha

My $0.02 comparison of Skinomi and XtremeGuard

So, I've had my N4 since the beginning of December and since then I've gone back and forth between the two skins. I've been using the XtremeGuard skin for about a month now. Before that I was using the Skinomi full body protector, even the sides. Both were wet applications, but the Skinomi came with its own spray bottle and applicator tools. The XtremeGuard came came in an envelope and instructions only: Basically, put drop of dishwashing soap in a small bowl of water, then dunk the skin and apply on the phone. The end result was a great fit, but.... the skin ended up being too sticky for my own taste. The price was unbelievable cheap. I just couldn't get away from the stickyness and of course the extreme orange-peel effect. But, I had already purchased a second set as a "backup" just in case I needed a set. Like I said, it was very cheap, like almost $9, shipped.
Now, the Skinomi was much more pricier, but I'm sure it was worth it. Like I said, a spray bottle, squeege, and large black felt wipe with the Skinomi logo. The front and back application was a breeze, like most front and back screen protector applications. The little trick to get the skin to stay down over the edges, or curved corners for that matter is the same: to get the curved sides and corners to stick down you have to wait a few minutes for the skin that is going to touch the screen/phone to dry up a bit. It needs to become sticky in order to stay down. I wait another minute or two and keep trying to keep the edges down. Eventually the skin stays down on the curved edges. For the front skin, I lined up the top perfectly, and the bottom is a little over 1 mm from completely covering the front. The back is even a better fit, less than 1 mm missing from all four edges. Really great coverage. Now the sides, eh, it's a ***** to get the curved corners. The pieces are long to apply and keep slipping. Eventually I got the corners to stay down, but over time from using the phone the corners would start to come up and then collect lint. I think I've given up on protecting the sides and corners that I just ordered the stock bumper and will use that to protect the edges before they get more dinged. Now that it's been 24 hours, WOW! I am very impressed. I can barely feel that there is a skin on top. Yes, it feels a little stick, but I have to put emphasis on "little". It's nowhere near sticky as the Xtreme. And the finish! WOW! The only problem is my oily fingers. I guess that's what the skinomi wipe is for?
That just my 2 cents. oh, btw, the Skinomi was very very little orange-peel look, and it's almost like a mirror. The best skin I've ever used so far (Xtreme, Skinomi, and Zagg).

Had an extreme guard on my s3, didn't like it just like you mentioned, it felt "sticky".... But it is very durable. Also don't like the wet application.

I personally thought xtreme guard was garbage. There's a night and day quality difference between skinomi and xtreme guard. You really do get what you pay for here. You can even see it in the packaging.

I didn't know. Please forgive me. I didn't know. I was lured in by the cheap price, but I've seen the light!

Just ordered the skinomi one.. I also debated to order XtremeGuard but saw the reviews weren't so good.
I'm going to try and take a different approach and try to let the sides heal and for all the bubbling and haze to subside, then I will put my bumper on, hopefully that should eliminate the issue of the edges raising up?

I bought a Skintomi way back for my Galaxy Nexus just randomly because I was having so much trouble sorting out which brand was worth anything from all the conflicting reviews, and boy am I glad I did. It is still awesome. I liked it so much I ordered the full body model for my Nexus 4. I got a great deal from a guy on ebay, I think the front cover model was like 8 bucks and the full body Nexus 4 model was less than 17.

I have to agree with the stickiness of wet applied screen protectors.
I've only used xtremeguard for for my N4 cuz I didn't really see a need to buy another/ different screen protector afterwards, so can't say anything about the others. For the first couple of days after application (like a week or so), it was almost impossible to push your thumb across the screen (dragging thumb across the screen fared a little better). After a while however it became significantly easier to use the touchscreen because the oil on my finger started to make the screen more slippery, but no where near the slipperiness of a dry install. I can easily swipe on the default keyboard but it could be better.
Right now I'm contemplating whether to spray some dust repellent on the screen protector; playing air hockey on the kitchen table is a breeze after spraying some.
Just my $0.02

N4 skinomi are hit and miss. The sides do not stick very well and lift up easy. The solutions tends to leave large bubble markings between the screen and the skin. After a month, the skin has lots of scar indentations, like worms or ants traveling in sand leaving trails. Much like those you create when pressing down too hard when applying the skin with the squeegee. Any cover or case that touches the top will lift push or cause the skin to bubble.
I've use skinomi on several devices, first one that's not "good". Same results on 3 replacements. Gonna try another brand.
I've used xtremeguard on other devices and they've worked well too. Loved it on my s3 . After some cure time it's not as sticky as when applied. But black specs in envelope and lately the material of the skin has changed. So it's quality has been randomly lacking.

Anti static spray? Wonder how that will affect the touch screen.

Do people really care this much about screen protector brands? I bought one generic one from eBay and it does all I want it to: keep my screen clean.

No, brand should not matter, but quality does. There is a list of personal requirements that I have and Skinomi (so far) meets those requirements, whereas others do not. That's not to say a cheaper cost product is better or as good. I have yet to try Zagg for my N4, but I have used the Zagg HD in the past. I want to try out BSE see how well that works.

Yeah of course we do. Different brands make a huge difference. Spend the 8 bucks on a Skintomi from ebay and try it for a few weeks and you'll see what we mean.

I ordered some skins from xtreme guard, the lower prices got me too, shipping to canada was around $3 which is awesome . Still waiting to get them so I have no reviews yet. Used BSE before, I think they are great, but getting so expensive. now buying for a 3rd phone (waiting for 2nd rma).

Stay away from RingKe Slim Cases

I purchased one and periodically I'd take off the case to showcase the phone's build quality because my friends were curious and today I noticed after owning and using the case for about 2 weeks that it leaves scratches all around the metal band. So now the entire front metal band on my phone is completely scratched up because of this case. So please stay away from this case and save your money for something better.

Well since you started. Ill continue.
The fusion one i got is warped at the bottom where charge port goes.
It fits well everywhere else except there. Im not gona damage my charge port because i have to force a charger in there due to the case firment issues.
Its very slippery and either i have oily fingers or the back of the case has an oil leak like my car.
The one i wanted to check out was the fusion max protect? Something like that.
But the tech21 looks like will get my monies once its available to other vendors

I've been doing some more research and apparently it's not the case but more of small particles of debris rubbing on the soft aluminum finish. So it's not really more of the cases fault and more it happening eventually from any case. either way still disappointing because my entire front looks beat. Oh well i'll learn to live with it.

people dont know how to take the case off so they mess up the phone and blame the case...pretty sure u are takin the case off wrong...if you buy a rinke...and rake it off like a tpu case...its gonna scratch!!!! ...its hard plastic ..raking it off will make it hold even tighter!

Educate the public on how to remove a case then...

I also purchased this case and in 2 days it has scuffed up the sides as well.

As others have said, how do you take off a RingKe case without messing up your phone?
I personally went with Seidio and glad I did. Almost brought a ringke but I'm glad I didn't. Wouldn't have known how to properly remove it. I recommend the OP leave the tittle the way it is. Even if it is the OP using it wrong, word needs to get out that these type of cases need a special touch on them or they ruin the look of your device.

its going to happen with other cases as well

Glad I got my body glove satin case, I often take it out to show friends and not one scratch on white note 4

this is true mine has scraches whenever i remove the case and i dont remove it ofter

TPU is fine, stay away from the polycarbonate cases

Yikes, I'm sorry your phone got scratched up. I have the same case in SF Black and I remove it to switch batteries every night. So far, not a single scratch from it, maybe I'm lucky. I know it's weird, , but maybe it's the way you remove it? I usually turn my phone upside down and use my nail to expand the corner outward, before moving to the top (now bottom) part of the case to do the same.
As others have mentioned, be wary of dust and other particles that may get between the case and the bezels. I always give a quick blow into the case and a wipe with microfiber before placing my (also wiped down) phone back into it.
It sucks that it scratched your phone, but I can't say I've had the same experience, this is my favorite and go-to case for my Note 4.

Also, after examining the edge of the ringke and the iBlason, the edge seems very sharp and I think this is what is causing the scratches. I am going to try and chamfer the sharp edge and see what happens. I think some emery cloth and a little patience will go a long way.

Hi
Is someone so kind to explain the differences between case materials? Tpu, silicon, policarbon,gel, ...?
Is tpu the same as silicon?
Buying from the Internet is a mess, without touching and trying it before.

I don't think it's the cases, I think its the environment. Dusty or sandy environments I believe contribute to the scratching. Particles get between the case and the phone etc. Thats why people have such different experiences with the same cases. Ultimately I hope Samsung comes up with a better exterior design that avoids the soft exposed metal trim. I personally would have preferred the black paint all the way around as it has been far more durable for me. My wife will be going with the S6 when it comes out but only if they do away with the current metal trim thats on the Note 4.

Anyone using this phone naked?

I really want to use the phone without a case and just a tgsp.. But I am unsure how scratch resistant it is. I am about to receive a replacement phone from Google as my first had issues. What do you guys use?

Definitely get a screen protector. Just having it in my pockets caused many small screen scratches over time.
As for the phone itself, the beveled metal edges around the screen scratch and dent VERY easily. A slight accidental bump can permanently mess it up pretty badly. The back metal of the phone seems to hold up very nicely, though.

i have no screen protector or case and I wouldnt have it any other way. That being said the edges are a thinner metal then a coke can so it will nick easily

This phone is too slippery to use without a case imo. I use a Spigen Thin Fit to help with grip and I'm happy.

Always wrap your thing!

Using a slickwraps skin. It's much easier to hold without a case because it's less heavy and thinner (due to how long the phone is)

I'm using my phone absolutely naked, have insurance in case something happens to it in lieu of a case.

I feel the same way however I'd like to keep this phone looking good.. I've gone with the Rhino bumper which is thin, discreet and you can still feel the back of the phone..plus the protection is supposed to be amazing.
The only problem I have now is that the case looks good too so I want to protect that now lol.
30 dollars with shipping, I'm in the UK and it came in under a week. A great case.

All I have on my phone is a dbrand skin. Unfortunately, I had an issue where it dropped a short distance (6 to 12 inches) and landed on a corner and it knicked up that corner near the screen pretty good, but not enough to convince me to buy a case yet... lol Haven't had any problems with any screen scratches or any other cosmetic damages yet.

Straight from the evo labs website. No restrictions. Here within a week. I did pay p&p but that's expected. About 4 quid I think.
One thing id like to say though, the rear clearance is not 100% the very centre of the back is slightly exposed, the bumper does not offer complete clearance when you push it against a flat surface.
If you don't know what I mean.
Take your phone and slide the back of it along the edge of a surface, say a mantelpiece or a shelf and whilst the start of the case is covered, towards the middle is not..
Not the end of the world but I'd have liked the clearance, ironically, tech 21 always offers this , something to consider.

Unfortunately, my N6P is my only camera at the moment. I'm sure most people wouldn't even notice the ding from a distance, but every time I run my finger along it, I cry a little inside.
Have a good one!

I have a glass screen protector, a Dbrand black carbon fiber skin for the glass panel on the back, and carry the phone around in a FitBag pouch.

This phone is the first where i must have a case for traction, its soo slippery and i want to hold it casually and treat it like a normal phone. I bet if i had it in my pocket it will just defy gravity and just fly out, would get a skin but seeing how easy it was to bend the bezel with my finger nail, i dont want break it in the first year,
I got one of these, the thinnest case i could find.i know it wont help in a fall but it will help against wear and tear

I've always rocked my phones naked. This time around I'm using a skin. Had a front back skin. Did drop it once too >_<. Thankfully it's just a small dent right above the camera visor. The skin on my phone is slippery so I ordered a more grippier one and took off the front skin because ambient display works better without it.

I have only a d brand frame for the camera.

I have glass screen protector and tried a clear thin case, but am back to no case..just the glass. No problems. I did add a little non-slip round piece to the back..it stays in my pocket just a little better, and totally stops it from sliding off a flat surface.
In and out of pocket all day, I am not real careful about keys or coins and no issues. I have done this with HTC M7,8,9 also with no problems. I hate hiding a good looking phone with an ugly case...and no case I have ever seen enhances the look.

Any one know of a transparant case that is compatible with slickwraps? Bought the galactic series but want some extra protection...

I think it needs no protector.However,my wife bought an iPely screen protector from Amazon for me.I think it feels perfect.That's great.

My thoughts on Dbrand Grip Case

I am not a big fan of phone cases and never actually used one on my Pixel devices but this frosted glass on Pixel 4 is soo slippery so I decided to go with a dbrand case because of case customization. I can tell that the case really is super grippy and my phone doesn´t slide out of my pocket like before.
Only problem for me is the main selling point of this case,skins. Installation is super easy and you really can´t mess it up like regular skins but after a day of using it with a skin I noticed that dust collects like crazy around the edges of the skin and it doesn´t look really nice. Now I am using it without a skin and there is no dust at all on the back or edges. It´s still a nice solid case with a lot of protection and I´ll keep using it for sure but without skin. Did anyone else noticed this?

I have a skin on mine and no dust gets stuck on the back. The front however, quite a bit of dust accumulates. I'd say that's the only downside of the case though. The level of grip on the case has ruined all other cases for me.

So how do I get so much dust on the back? I ordered limited teardown skin. Maybe the fit is not 100% so dust can come in.

Yeah the only thing I can think of is the fit. I used to have the teardown and now I have robot camo. Both have been dust free for me.

I'll just order another skin and see how it fits. Kinda like it without skin. It looks sleek.

I've been wanting to get the grip case for my Pixel 4 XL but need to know one thing if you can tell me. does wireless charging still work with the case, if not that's a deal breaker for me since I charge my phone at night

I am also a big fan of the grip case. I have the swarm skin installed, and it just looks and feels awesome. I have a few cases lying around, which are just obsolete at this point. No problem charging wirelessly, but then again i never had any problem with any case regarding qi charging.

I ordered the case and a carbon fiber skin for my Pixel 4 XL. I just hope the skin is easy to install with no bubbles. I don't wanna mess it up and have it wasted.

Just to update everyone. Got the new case and skin yesterday and everything looks good now,no dust at the edges. I don't know what was wrong with the first skin and dust collecting,it's weird.

Does the squeeze feature still able work with the case? I'm thinking to buy it and honestly this is a big selling point for me?
Thanks.

Yes it still works

One of the best cases for pixel. Nice grip & protection, very very tactile buttons. Love it.

Agree

I've bought it almost two months ago and honestly I'm really disappointed. The case itself is good looking and the feeling is good however it literally unglued itself around the edges from the whole bottom part of the case.
I haven't dropped it or abused it in anyway (just cleaned it with soapy water twice) and now literry it not usable since it all over my hands when I hold it. I can't glue it back since the rubber part is a little too big and just can't hold it perfectly enough so that the glue sticks.

I also bought the prism screen protector and the experience is even worse. Because of the sensors the pixel 4 has it is literally cut off from the top and aligning it correctly is a nightmare(because there is nothing to actually have a reference point to). Even if you manage to apply it, the sides won't stick perfectly to the glass of the phone and you have awful edges (the gestures are hell to execute and in time painfull for fingers). On top of the the protector is pretty thick (which is good and bad).

It seems that's a know issue and acknowledged by them: https://www.reddit.com/r/dbrand/comments/irmpup/the_truth_about_the_dbrand_grip/
Get in touch with them. From the reddit page: "You should still write in to our Customer Experience team if it happens to you - we'll work something out."

Where in the world do you find more skins for this case? I ordered regular skins and they're to big. Can't find skins for case without ordering the case with it.
