[VIDEO] Spigen Slim Armor case for the Samsung Galaxy S4

I have a couple more Spigen products that I have to unbox in the next few days. I wanted to get around to this one in particular though because I have 20 counterfeit cases sitting on my desk as well.
In future videos I'll do an in depth comparison of what an authentic one is like vs the fake. I'll also show you how to turn lemons into lemonade as well.
EDIT:
Closer comparison w/ the counterfeit product here:

This reminded me that I should have added the comparison video and how to fix your fake case video here...
Video review thread here! Throw up your own while the water is warm .

Does it get scratched? I want to get the white one but afraid it would get scratches and black marks/lines easily. Can you post pictures of its current status? Scratched or not and how many days used?

It's slick plastic and will certainly get scratched, buffed, marred as you use it, all the while keeping the actual phone looking like new. You'll have to expect some wear and tear. Your mileage may vary.

the reason i ask is that it's pricey and at the same time it really looks good, i dont want to get it and after a few weeks it gets scratched and some marks on the plastic cover. do you own one? on the website they say scratch resistant. i think i should go for another colour.

Yeah what jwhistler said. I don't have the device anymore, but any case that doesn't have a silicone or similar outer cover will get scratched on just about any surface.

Yes, I have one but I don't use it anymore. The case, for my useage needs, is just too slick and streamlined. My Gumby like hands find it difficult to hold on to, so I've moved on to the Body Glove Toughsuit. Now my phone no longer looks sleek....looks more like a mechanized brick, but at least I can hold on to it!

Protective Cover Review

Got the protective cover from Samsung, I really like the case so thought I'd make a review on it.

Nice review. I agree the Samsung Protective Case is perfect for the Note 4. I have been a UAG fanboy for several years now. However, for the Note 4, I have abandoned the UAG as my daily cover. Although the UAG is an excellent case, it adds more bulk than I would like. On the other hand, the Samsung case is likely to be a little less protective in a fall than the UAG, but it doesn't add the bulk. In fact, it conforms to the Note 4 quite well and makes holding the Note 4 very comfortable. I'm willing to sacrifice a little protection for increased functionality/comfort. It would be nice to see a drop test of the Note 4 with the Samsung case.
I got the blue version. I like how it gives a different shade of blue depending on the angle of the light shining on the back.

Nice case, looks quite similar to the spigen case, is there any youtube videos of S6 cases that anyone could find? It would be interesting to see how it pairs up next to the Samsung S5 and see what sort of changes have been made.

Hi Friends, I will recommed you iVoler Dot View Case for Samsung Galaxy s6, Ihave bought a Dot View Case for my s5. It's simple looking when it arrives - just a soft plastic cover with holes in the front. It comes with instructions and a code to install an app on your phone that creates the dot matrix illusion on the cover. The app can be a little finicky sometimes (sometimes it will shut off on it's own and I had the screen malfunction once, but restarting my phone fixed it and I haven't had that issue yet again). DO NOT LOSE YOUR APP'S SERIAL NUMBER. Sometimes the app logs you out and you need the serial number to log back in.
I haven't gotten the weather display to work, but mine does display the time, received text messages and incoming or missed calls. The box warns that the controls may not work with thicker screen protectors; I have a shatterproof glass screen protector so I can't answer the phone without opening the top flap. I suspect with a normal screen protector this wouldn't be an issue.
The case itself is pretty nice. I got the pink and I like the color. The back of the case actually replaces the back piece of your phone and it does not have waterproofing so the water resistance of the S5 will not work with this case. It is not a hefty case and will not protect your phone if you drop it. All and all, for the price, I am pretty happy with this and I think it works pretty well.

How's the protection for your S4 doing so far? Have you dropped it (and survived) before?
I was looking into the neo hybrid but I ended up getting the tough armor. I have it for my LG G2, and while it's slightly bulky, I've dropped it several times and it's survived without any noticeable damage.

Accessories Stainless Steel Watch Bands - 20mm doesn't fit

I have bought two 20mm stainless steel watch bands for my 46mm Watch 4 Classic, neither have fit, wondering if we need a 19mm. Bought a Fullmoso and Acestar, both same result. I also bought a 20mm silicone sport band which fits fine. Anyone find a 20mm stainless steel band that actually fits?

I have a couple of leather straps I bought recently and both 20mm 1 is Fullmoso . I have a 20mm stainless steel I bought 3/4 yrs ago and that fits my 46mm Classic .
Might worth popping in a jewelers if any local and checking some of there straps(you don't have to buy)

Same for me as well, I brought a 20mm stainless steel watch band and it wouldn't fit to begin with, but managed to get it to fit in the end by filling both ends down on the band.

Yikes, didn't want to go that route, did another 20mm that said specifically for Watch 4, Acestar, same issue, then ordered a 19mm Fullmoso, too narrow and too much play....waiting for more to hit the market

Here's the problem... It's not 20mm
Measured with calipers and it's 19.8mm

Is the watch lugs being less than 20mm a wider issue? I don't have calipers to measure.
It would suck if I can't use all the bands I have ordered.

I ended up just taking a Dremel to two 20mm steel bands I had bought for my 46mm classic. I shaved just a hair off each side where the pin goes on the bands and they fit fine after that. It really is a tenth of a mm off or something like the OP showed.

Picked this one up from Amazon and it worked perfectly.

Indeed! The first problem is that the lugs are curved inward. So the distance between the holes exactly 20mm. HOWEVER, the distance between the lugs at the narrowest point is 19.8 to 19.9mm (like you, I just measured with calipers and it is hard to get an exact reading on something slanting inward). OMG Samsung, what a stupid move. So this could cause a bit of bind if the band is really close to being 20mm wide.
The second problem people seem to have with metal bands is that the band can actually rub against and scratch the circular case, depending on how "thick" the band is.
The third problem is that some people want a more finished look to the band to fill the "gap." To illustrate what I mean, attached is a photo of my most-excellent Casio WaveCeptor. Notice how it connects to the watch body completely.
For all these reasons, I did some searching and found a new and unique metal band for the GW4C- one that fills that gap by design. Nothing like it on Amazon, but on Ebay, there is this:

Thanks, I missed that part with my very old and tired eyes! Look forward to see how it comes out!

anyone have the exact measurement of the watch. i see a band that is 185mm(7.28 in) so with the watch length would it fit an 8" wrist? Is the watch at least 1 in long?

cmccarter said:

From pin location on top to pin location on the bottom seems to be exactly 5cm.

I bought these (mine are all black, but dont seem to be listed anymore) and they do fit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BVPWFZS
They were a little bit of a pain to get on as you cant have the band straight out from the plane of the watch while inserting the pins. You have to let the band lay like it will when its on your wrist, then they fit. This made it much harder than need be while doing the second pin as you dont get nearly as much play.
I tried a few others and all had the same issue of being too large and hitting the watch chassis.

Anyone get a stainless steel band to fit yet?

Using this modded Aliexpress Rolex replica. The end links are not solid so are easy to bend to fit. There are plenty of non branded ones to that should fit.

Accessories <Review> Caseborne V Series Kickstand Case

Just wanted to get the word out about the Caseborne (formerly ArmadilloTek) V Series Kickstand Case. I've been a buyer of ArmadilloTek cases for quite a few number of Samsung Devices primarily for their rugged design paired with a good kickstand. This iteration by CaseBorne is not a let down, they've continued what's great about Armadillotek: Great fitting and designed case, tough design, and at a good price point. I like the charge port dust cover. I carry my phone with me everywhere even if it's sandy and dusty and this case helps keep the phone protected without adding heft or much more physical size.
I was so glad to see that they were available on Feb 14th when I pre-ordered my phone. I finally got my phone yesterday so I'm able to post my review now.
Let me know if you have any questions about it in particular.

Thanks for your review. I have an ArmadilloTek for my Note 20 Ultra and I am very satisfied with it. A little concerned about the lack of individual cutouts for each camera lens and flash for the S22 Ultra.
