Has anybody had any experience with them?...anybody recieved a free case in exchange for some social media reviews? I've been offered a free case.... They want to paypal me the money to order it from Amazon. I thought that was kinda strange... Why wouldn't they just send one? Too good to be true?

They're trying to tap-dance around the fact that they're expecting a Quid Pro Quo (a free case in exchange for a favorable review):
They're giving you money instead of the case,so they can technically say it's not,as you're buying it with your own money.
Yes,you're under no obligation to post a rating of any sort.
But,what they're buying from you is for the review to be listed as a "Verified Purchase",giving the appearance of an unsolicited/no-strings review.
If I were you,I'd report what they're doing to Amazon.
Show Amazon the correspondence you've received.
Yeah,you'll be out of a "free" case,but,JMHO,it's a small price to pay to help keep the reviews honest & legitimate.

Yeah that's a shady way of doing business man. If you really do make great products, let your product speak for itself but making it good quality.
Have it and ita good not bulky too
I actually own 3 of these cases. I was just doing research on maybe getting an S10 for my wife, and the first thing I checked was if ArmadiloTek was going to make a case or not. While looking up info, I realized I never left a review on Amazon. Obviously, if I bought 3 of them, I like them, but people don't get to see my purchase history, so they wouldn't know I'm a fan. I just uploaded this review on Amazon.
BTW - For the price, I think it's hard to beat. Also, if they offer a free case to someone hoping for a review, they are also taking the chance that someone who's not willing to spend $20 for a case is also the type to bash them online for silly things. Unless they are actually soliciting a "Positive" review, giving away a product and asking for a review is pretty normal. Especially for a new company. I've been to plenty of restaurants and bars that offer instant coupons if you go online and right a review, or they give you something free for filling out a survey.
************************** My Amazon Review **************************
Now I can write a real review after actually using this case, everyday, for more that 4 months. I bought 3 Note9's in September because they were so cheap. I also bought 3 different cases. All 3 cases had built-in screen protectors.
Immediately after getting the cases and comparing them, I ordered another ArmadiloTek case for my 11 year old son's Note9. That was the phone I was most concerned about having protected.
About 1 month later, I had to order another ArmadiloTek, because my mom wanted a stronger case and a kickstand.
In total, I've purchased 3 of these cases in different colors. They are awesome! I've dropped my phone a few times, and I'm sure my son has dropped his plenty. He rides his scooter w/ a Note9 hanging halfway out of his pocket. None of the phones or cases have any damage.
This is definitely my go to case from now on. Not as bulky as other rugged cases, better price, and they work amazing.
I hope they continue to grow, so they can offer more covers for other phones. My wife choose a S9 because she didn't want a large phone. Her case cracked the first time it fell and the case is all scratched up, because it's not an ArmadiloTek case.
I got one of these today and have a question for people who have one.
is the screen protector on yours TIGHT against your phone display cause mine isnt. when I tap the screen I can see and hear the plastic protector hit the screen.
Is this normal or do I have a defective one? (and yes, the peel offs are removed)

It's normal unfortunately. Any device that has a built in plastic screen protector will do that unless you find a way to have the device firmly and stiffly up against the front if the case. You can try filling behind the device with small flat sheets of paper cut out to match the device shape on the back. Adding a rear glass protector may help. Just not sure how much it would though.

thanks, makes me want to think about removing the built in one (the website has info on how to hair dryer it off) and buy a hard plastic one.
the case is awesome though, especially for ten bucks shipped

Guys do any of you know how to select/buy the leather case showed in this page?( at the bottom of the page-->accessories)
http://www.omnia7.samsungmobile.com/
No, but I had the same question, just look a few threads under yours.
There should be handsets that have roughly the same measurements. Cases for these could be a workaround until something perfect is released. Problem is, I don't know how to efficiently find out which ones would fit. If somebody with a bit of spare time could find out, that would be great.

That case is an optional boxed accessory that networks/resellers can choose to offer their customers - and not something being sold (yet, at least) separately to customers. At least that's what Samsung UK told me when I asked.
i've seen some over at mobilefun.codotuk, including silicone covers and what i think is some sort of hard gel...anti shock cases... and the leather one you speak of.

Hi any updates? I should be recieving my omnia 7 soon and want to get a decent case/screen protector as well.
Cheers
oh well, I ended up ordering that silicon case. I am also going to get some screen protectors/films just in case.
Sorry...sorry sorry... totally forgot lol, Will upload now. Going to go take some pics downstairs in good light.
Long post of Pics for anyone wondering what the Omnia 7 black silicone case looks like on the phone as not many suppliers seem to have pics on the ads yet. *when i bought it anyway* - Yes mine has a screen protector I think it looks fine with the case as you cannot see the edges on the glass much apart from two pics which show the holes around the windows button and the ear piece / sensors.
*4th pic down if you zoom in shows what the screen protector does as already my phones been across a few of the slate tiles in the kitchen*
I think I found the perfect 3rd-party case for the phone The 'Valente Leather Pocket 15'. It's still a little tight (not too tight) but I reckon it will loosen up in a few days as it is genuine leather... so the fit will be great!
Bought it for €15,- @ a retailer called the Phonehouse in the Netherlands.
also available online at: pdashop.nl/product/108532/
images below (note: although the phone doesn't stick out as much as in pic 1 when you push it as far as possible into the case, the corners do stick out just 1mm. so that's only a real concern when you drop it head-down)
Nice,
Found a few for
£3.99 + free p&p

£1.99 + free p&p. Looks very similar
Just ordered it the first one, so hoping it fits the phone with the silicone, If not, Extra one for when i get the missus one of these phones.... *sigh*
I have already used up 4 of the 6 screen protectors provided and still can't get it to set without any bubbles. Any tips would be welcome.
I recently bought a samsung blaze, and love the phone. And now I'm looking to buy a nice protective case. I've narrowed it down to 3 cases:
http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/samsung/galaxy-s-blaze-4g.php
http://www.ebay.com/itm/FOR-Samsung...188781?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c6aca11ed
http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLEAR-BLACK...158681?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4d07ab7419
Which one of these 3 cases would provide the best protection? Feel free to recomend a case, though i'm not looking to spend more than $10 with shipping.
Any help would be appreciated.
Of these three.. I would get the powerskin. I just saw you can get it for $5, so I bought one. There is a thread here about the powerskin case, so if you head over (maybe you already did) you can read what some folks have to say about it. I will be adding my 2 cents once I get mine
I don't think any of the three you selected would be superb in protection, so that's why I suggest the powerskin. If you want extreme protection - from drops, etc - get a ballistic or otterbox, although I'm not sure otter makes one for the blaze. I have a ballistic and when it's dropped 3-4 feet I'm not concerned at all

Well unfortunately I can't give you the answer you are looking for. Coming from my exhibit, I tried to go the cheap route and ended up spending more money in the long run. I first started with a $4 'hard rubberized' case and the first one actually didn't even snap together. Had to return it - and had to pay for shipping to return it. Second one actually snapped together, but the first time I dropped it it cracked... and no longer held together. OK I thought, I will try another style of case. Bought a 'sleeve' style case (I think it's neoprene) for $3. When I got it I immediately realized that this one wasn't going to work as it didn't feel like it would protect my phone from anything. That was $10 that I no longer had and I still didn't have a case that would actually protect my phone from an accidental drop. I have kids, so I need something that will also protect those times where they pick up my phone (even though they know not to do so- but c'mon they're kids) and accidentally drop it.
You could spent $5 and get a case that actually does something besides protect the phone (the powerskin), but if you are looking for good protection my recommendation still stands with the ballistic. http://www.amazon.com/Ballistic-SG0...1356194932&sr=8-1&keywords=blaze+4g+ballistic. $17 shipped. I think if you are looking for good protection you can try one of those other ones, but you may end up spending more money overall in the long run.
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.

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.

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!
Got the bumper and case on Moto.com
The case feels more solid and comfortable in hands because of the curve and thickness. But as you can see the case can easily catch fingerprints on it. Actually the case looks a lot better in reality than in this picture, my bad.
The bumper is a little loose on the left and right side and feels less premium than the case due to the material. But I do love the color and the design to show your finish.
Ps, I got these two with only $15, that's another story.
Forgot one thing. The case can relative cause heating issue. I can feel a little warmer (not hot) with the case under the same usage.
Still a naked phone for me but thanks for sharing.

It's Naked Tough Case for Moto X Pure Edition, you can find it both on Moto and case-mate's website.
Well I ordered the X Pure but my delivery was about one week late, so the rep of moto gave me a coupon of $25 to purchase any accessories on the website. Later I decided to get a bumper, which costs 20. I thought that the coupon of 25 can easily cover the whole price of the bumper (I just thought they will cut the price with maximum 25), but later I found that the coupon didn't work and I was fully charged. I called moto and they told me that I have to make my total purchase over 25 to be eligible to use the coupon. It's kinda sophisticated, let me make some examples:
1, You bought an item under 25, even 24.95, not work. You pay full price.
2, You bought a single item over 25, let's say 29.95, you pay 4.95+shipping.
3, You bought two items with total over 25, maybe one 20 and one 15, you get the 20 free and pay 15+shipping.
See? That's really complex and They did NOT mention this kind of thing anywhere. While after discussion they decided to cancel my original order and send a free bumper, and I can still use that coupon to buy other staff, while I went with the case. That's the whole story, to be frankly, compared with the ending, I would rather they ship my phone on time at the beginning.

The heat is why I would rather use a bumper case. This device IMO gets too hot to have a case on it for my medium to heavy use. Any app that uses the GPU much gets this device hot and a case only helps keep the heat in.
As far as the bumper case, the tube trim seems like it could come off after some wear. Does it seem that way to you? It looks like a blue tube that has been glued to the bumper frame.
I got mine this morning. Really liking it so far. Don't feel like I'm going going to drop the phone any more. I got the grey/black and it goes well with my white front and dark ash wood back.

Hard to say. It looks perfectly flush so I'm thinking it's good for at least a year unless you're really rough on phones. My main worry is dust/grit collection and scuffing up the edges of the phone. I'll make sure to clean it out weekly.

Just wondering if you think the bumper alone can offer protection. The phone is huge and I'd like to avoid any case, but I don't know if that's wise.

Actually it's no complicated. They give a 25$ coupon essentially. It's not a 25$ giftcard where you use it and you have money left over it's a one time coupon to use and you have to use it all

mine is already lose around the buttons area. There is very noticeable slack and looseness on the right side of the phone now. It started tight and flush but not so much now and its only been a week and I've only taken it off once.

Based on the design this is what I expected, but a few months later than now. It would be better off with a harder frame and coated rubber glued around the frame.
I will use the plastic two parter for a while longer I guess. I was going to drill holes in the back, but can see the plastic crack. Need to think about it....
The bumper case it came with was too fragile and broke around the button area. Plastic is too thin. These hard cases though only seem good for scratch protection and keeping the heat in for GPU heavy app use. The latter is not a good thing.

I think it can protect in a certain level, but clearly it's not the best option compared with other cases.

Seems though it will protect better than the hard cases, since all hard cases do is transfer energy to the device itself when dropped. About the only good a hard case provides is scratch and scuff protection.
