not sure if my case is real or not, bought on ebay for $25 aud.
can you compare if you have the same case from a authorised seller?

Yes, from what I can see, it's looking the same as of an authorized seller.
Should be very light but robust. Especially the edges. And it should show Qi wireless charging.
Can you confirm?

I just bought the OB commuter from ebay, bargained at $22.95(before delivery costs. It seemed strange, now that i think about it, since OB sells them at $34.95. I'm wondering of the case might be an imitation or a knock-off. Can anyone enlighten me as to whether OB's cases are ever imitated(yet)
Any other discussion on regards with OB commuter usage is welcome too =D.
Price seems fair.
Walmart has that case for $21.70 and you could pay through Paypal.
I ordered my Defender case from Walmart for $29 and it arrived in 5 days. 2 thumbs up for Walmart. lol.

I ordered mine from ebay bro. I'm from Malaysia too. Lol.
I have the defender and I find I get dust and dirt in through the speaker hole and it creeps down over the screen. So I don't use it anymore.. back to the neo case for me.
Commuter arrived!
The provided screen protector is bubbling from pressure from my keys. I'll need to order more screen protects. Will be posting images to the first post for other users to gaze at in case they'd want to know what it's like

Pretty sure that this Poetic case is the same as the Acase. I pre-ordered it from Amazon for ~$22 shipped. I've also seen it on eBay for the same $22 price. Mine should arrive on Friday.

yep looks the same...nice find
Amazon does not ship to Romania (Poetic, Mercury, etc) and from US the cost of shipping si the same as the case itself. Google play wont send official bumper.
Any stores from Europe where i can find a good case for nexus 4?
You can try with norêve. It is quite expensive, but it worth it. They make handcrafted leather cases with a really amazing design. The shipment is free for all over the world, but the case itself is about 50€ (however you get what you pay, it seems really good)
thanks for the reply. i'm not into leather cases.
Maybe you can have a look at mobilefun (mobilefun.co.uk/cat/Google-Nexus-4.htm) or dx-box (dx-box.com/lg-accessories/nexus-4.html)

Does anyone own a good, slightly thin waterproof case? I was planing to buy these on ebay, but they are not a well known brand

Well the first link looks to be a cheap knockoff of this: http://store.griffintechnology.com/smartphone/survivor-with-belt-clip-for-samsung-galaxy-s4
I don't think it's a waterproof case though, at least nothing that can be submerged...
The Seidio OBEX should be out in a couple of weeks, I'm waiting for that one personally.
I love the design of the Spigen Neo Hybrid. But they list it as being $30, which seems crazy for a case. So I'm googling for better prices, and find the "same product" on AliExpress...
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Gala...y-S5-i9600-G900S-i9500X-Cover/1721050549.html
...where it's $3. That's too good to be true, right? What's the catch? Is this a knockoff?
Most likely a knock off, Spigen cases are definitely being copied..

I believe that all cases are made in China these days. The difference is if they came out the front or back door.
I avoid fakes myself.
Ive never bought anything from Ali before, but it is likely a knock off. I have the Neo Hybrid that I bought from Amazon and I personally love it. When I tried using mine naked, man, the oem cover is just too slippery for my liking. I have extra money on my paypal, so I might try this purchase and see what is the difference. Big red flag from the reviews though, they are mostly one word responses such as "good" and "excellent."
Its pretty much guaranteed that all brand products on Aliexpress are counterfeits. Except for Chinese brands. Most Spigen products are made in Korea. If it was true that they came out the back door, it would most likely be for not passing quality control. Although I don't have two cases to compare, the usual differences are, not as good a fit, components not machined as well, lower grade materials.

That one is cheap because it's not made in the official Spigen factory. Spigen also doesn't allow (usually gets taken down quick) others to sell their brand.

i bought the spigen hybrid on amazon for 18$ i put the savings towards a qi card for wireless charging.
i bought one from aliexpress now too ill take photos of both and compare any differences i see between the two when i recieve the aliexpress one, which could be up to a month depending on customs and stuff.

There are quite a few ligit Spigen resellers/retailers for different countries. Although it may be tricky to verify the authenticity of product unless you buy it and check the included serial number. One thing for certain, a genuine Spigen case will not be significantly cheaper as in $3.
i ordered two of them and they are fakes, i attached some pictures of the two i got and the real slim armor i ordered at amazon, they get the job done for $4 but the cut out for usb port is really tight and there is no room to open the flap of the port, i had to take out the case every time i had to charge the phone, that is why i decided to buy a real one at amazon.

they may have been a initial batch that they later discovered the port openings werent big enough and instead of tossing them they sold them for pennies on the dollar. Its just a thought but i can see from your pictures the port openings are definatly smaller

Ran into that exact problem earlier in the year on a Neo Hybrid knockoff. Holes for the volume control were about 2mmm off and only the up volume would work..lol
I wonder... did the fakes has the spigen certificate inside?
