Anyone know where i could find an otterbox case in NYC? I checked best buy's website and the nearest one that "supposedly has it in store" is in New Jersey. Any other stores that may sell them?
Seen several ebay resellers from NYC on ebay with them when I bought mine last week. The defender is awesome and love the beltclip/stand.
ebay i got a commuter for 18 bucks and love it!
I just recieved my otterbox commuter case (from ebay) and WOW. Beautiful, I love it.
I suspect the OP wants to go into a proper shop and buy one guys.

lol why pay $40 when you can pay $20 or less just my thoughts on it
Please check out the web store of SF Planet. They sell Good Quality Otterbox on Offer Sale now. I bought it last week and its good. Avail the offer using OTT30OFF and free shipping too all over the US.
I have one Defender and Commutter case. I want to sell one.
which one you need???
Wanted to get a thin case so I decided to order two from Amazon. One from China the other from California. This S-line case is similar to the J-kase without all the branding. Cost less than 2.50 shipped. It took about 2-3 weeks to get to me. (east coast). It covers the phone entirely with a nice lip over the screen. Very thin and tight to the phone. Seems it could give a little bit of protection from small drops. The one from Cali is called Megix. It cost 9.99 shipped and looks similar to the Rock case. Has a sand paper type feel, not as gritty though. Very nice grip. Doesn't cover the whole phone, more of a stylish, backplate scratch protector type case. Does have a small lip to keep the screen off a flat surface, which is nice. Here are some pictures...
Wow, those 2 is exactly what I just ordered, I suppose to get the exact same slim grey case today from the tracking.
The s line tpu I ordered the black color instead of clear, for only $1.93 shipped, should get it in couple weeks.
Sometimes makes me wonder, less than 2 bucks for a decent case, minus ebay fee and postal, paypal fee, how the heck they make profit selling these?
That case looks better then the one I got from Amazon. Nice

Yeah it boggles my mind how they can sell a case for 2 cents and ship for less that 2.50 and make a profit. Definitely work the price for the two of them though....Yeah the gray rock look a like case has a good appeal to it. A dark gray the blends well with the phone.
Nice covers. I 'll order one too as the one i have has started to loosen. :/
I use the s line case. Really inexpensive and works great. No point in spending $20 on similar cases from a retail store.

More importantly is why we put up with places like best buy selling the same products for $20 or 30. Cables, screen protectors, chargers, cases, there's no reason why these stores markup these items so much.
I've likely saved hundreds by purchasing through eBay.

Havent been to best buy or any electronics store in years. Online is where its at, unless of course money is not a concern
I Can not decide what case to choose, SENA one, but it's to thin and I hate the leather pattern, or go for good ol' PDair,
they have than one http://www.pdair.com/index.php/eboo...google-nexus-7-vertical-pouch-type-black.html with multiple stitching color to chose from.
I asked them what the inner side part is made of, and they told me
"Thanks for your enquiry. ALL our Genuine PDair Leather Case is made of Premium Korea Cowhide leather and inner part is pvc. The inner part is a little hard to support the case but won’t get scratchiness on the phone."
Now PVC can also mean vinyl, maybe they mean it's hard to bend but soft to touch? anyway post your answers, still think to go with PDair as the shipping is free, SENA wat's 30$ to ship to Israel and it's ridiculously pricier, LOL not that I'm one to complain, as I ordered some acessories from EXPANSYS UK (extended battery w/cover, and desktop multimedia dock for my GNEX, but they was cheaper back then in comparison to eBay):silly:
If you want to pay $50 for a pouch you can buy for $5 then by all means do ok it's leather on the outside but it's damned thin leather. I've had a couple of PDair cases for phones and they are well enough made but vastly overpriced for what you get.
If you want to pay that kind of money for real leather, have a search of this forum. Someone posted a couple of months ago about some hand made stuff that was real quality.

Well to describe my problem, I want to use it with the dock, when it out, I will not say they overpriced, I use SGP Crumena for my Galaxy Nexus, that cost me 30$, and it worth the money, from all the crap I seen on eBay, there also MOFi soft pouches, but I only zip type, I want one like a sack with strap, and the big size sold on taobao or resellers, and I afraid to deal with them, SENA looks cheap with that ugly pattern and 30$ for shipping? the PDair exist many years so I know what I pay for, what else can you recommend?
^^ etsy.com
Thousands of quality, handmade sleeves ranging from cheap 12$ cloth ones to superb leather ones. Take a look. Just about everything there is handmade by people who do this in their homes for a living.

Thanks, very creative stuff, but I want something from a brand like the SENA or PDair, they have another one;
http://www.pdair.com/index.php/eboo...-asus-google-nexus-7-business-type-black.html
Yeah I know the price is like 2 smartphone cases, but it will be used for good, I think I even maybe sell the SGP of my GNEX to make some profit,
and get a one from PDair to make a pair, they have same case for NOTE (II), so maybe they can make me a smaller one
but keep up with the comments, I just couldn't find any reviews of the tablet cases they sell.
It's a trap
Got this in an email from Slickdeals, Discount code for BoxWave cases on Amazon. Rounds down to the nearest $5, and free shipping. Save a few bucks per case, and a few on shipping.
Enter code NOTE2SLE at checkout.
Direct link to the Amazon page - http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...url=me=A30XRGG45X0IFD&field-keywords=NOTE2SLE
Direct link to the Slickdeals thread - http://slickdeals.net/f/5818644-Ass...ntent=u1433459&utm_campaign=tu14#post57102600
This has a lot of views, and I got a couple thanks from it. So I am bumping it back to the top so more people can see, and take advantage of the offer.
Sorry mate, these looks exactly like rebranded generic ebay knockoff cases, and hardly any reviews on Amazon (until a few days ago when Slickdeal starting to run discount promo). Boxwave discounted all of their accessories on Slickdeals, including screen protectors, and I'm not sure if they are clearing their stock or trying to attrack new customers, etc. I don't know anything about their quality, but it just looks awfully similar to ebay stuff you can get even cheaper.
Im just posting it to help people out, Im not affiliated or anything. Saw a deal and figured people would appreciate the info.
They did the same thing back about a month after the s3 came out. I ordered one with the same coupon and what I got was a TPU that didn't fit the phone. It was clearly different than what was pictured on Amazon. That said I still ordered that tuxedo tpu... Thought I would give it another try.

Has anybody tried one of these copies and can attest to the quality or even compare to the genuine ones? They are half price and look identical.
I'm not even sure I can post a link here, so sorry if I messed up.

Are you sure they're fake? The title quotes "50% off". It's probable they are fake, but it's one of those difficult to tell. For the relatively cheap price I say give it a shot. You won't have lost a lot of money really, and it's possible you'll be happy with your purchase anyway.

really man ?? the original it's not expensive, just only 15.99, not to mention the great quality of spigen covers. Come on man, support one of the few
brands that make great quality covers for a fair price.
Definitely fake, considering the 7 colors offered in the list that Spigen doesn't make (for this one).
Ive bought like 12 cases from Spigen and love their products but I wouldnt say their price is good. $40 for a glass screen protector? I just bought my 2nd slim armor for the htc one m8 and it cost $25 with shipping. I wouldnt say that is cheap considering it probably cost like $1 to make. But anywho Im gonna order one of these for the hell of it. Probably the lime green one.
Paying 25 bucks for a Glass Screen Protector is stupid, in my opinion, when you have the unbranded ones from AliExpress for 5 bucks shipped. And trust me, they are exactly the same.
I bought one and it sucks. So much so that I told the buyer that I was going to leave negative feedback AND make sure spigen knew that they were supplying fake goods etc they refunded me in full and told me to keep the case as a gesture of goodwill. If you want i'll gladly send u it if u cover the postage.

Anybody knows if there are any fake versions of the Clear Cases "Spigen Ultra Fit Capsule" or the recently lauched "Spigen Ultra Hybrid"

No its ok you can keep it, I want something decent. I'll buy genuine. Incidentally what was the problem with the cases? I feel the seller is also trying to pass these off as genuine articles. It's good that you informed Spigen.

I couldn't agree more. Spigen makes some amazing cases and their prices are very fair. Support the company.
Lol. Very fair? You must work for them... The spigen Slim Armor View case for the Galaxy S4 was 50 bucks

You have to shop around. Sometimes the MSRP is much more than street price. That case is 40 bucks on Amazon. $40 bucks is a lot of money for a case but that Slim Armor View case is looks like it's worth it. Their fit and finish has always been top notch and their cases look great.I'm more of a minimalist kind of guy so it's not really for me but if I needed more protection, I would definitely pay $40 for it.
I love how you automatically assume I'm their employee just because I praise them. Is it taboo to like a company?
You answered my question when you said "$40 bucks is a lot of money for a case". I say it's an outrageous price for a case.

I love how you pick and choose things from my response and tailor them to your needs.
Yes I did say $40 is a lot of money for a case but it's a fair price for what the case offers. There are plenty of other companies that sell cases at that price range, if not more. Otterbox for example.
I love your nickname

It suits you better.
Why did you buy an HTC One when you could buy a copy from China for much less? According to your logic, it's pretty much the same thing.

I am not saying they don't make good cases and that their cases are not better than the fake ones (I bought both). I am just saying it's not fair price. 20 bucks would be the correct price to ask. Same goes with their glass screen protectors. 30 bucks? lol. I bought a similar one for 5 bucks shipped on aliexpress.
They also have terrible design flaws on their cases. The S-View cases, for instance, didn't have a simple hole for the notification led light pass through. It's a great feature to miss so I had to make one myself (it looked terrible, of course). Same goes with the closing mechanism of that case, which broke after some months because of simple use.
The HTC One m8 Spigen ultra fit capsule, a clear case they launched, also has flaws (too bulky and with a yellowish problem).
This is my opinion. You can keep yours, of course.

See if you said that at the very beginning, we could've had a meaningful and brief discussion.
It's much easier to understand your point of view when you actually support your claim.
I had their Barely There case for my HTC One X and the Slim Armor for the M8 and both were priced at pretty much the same as their competitors their design put them ahead in my opinion.
I guess we both had very different experiences with their products.
In all honesty the bigger name case manufacturers do over charge IMO. For me, anything over £19.99 ($25) is pricey and best justify the additional cost.
