I've seen mention of the bumper case in a few posts... is there anywhere to purchase it online? Or for that matter, anywhere to purchase it besides an AT&T store?
I haven't found it on Belkin's web site and the only other sites I've seen it on said it was "Out of Stock". I passed on buying it in the store because it was $35 and I know it isn't worth that much!

I agree it's not worth $35. I bought it at the at&t store the other day, and stopped using it today. The tiny amount of extra width it added to the phone was just too much for me. The OG feels much better in hand without a case. It is a little too slippery, though.

The Belkin case is a cheap piece of crap. I've already managed to crack the hard plastic shell taking it off to clean. And yes, it is very slippery.

I ordered a silicone gel rubber case from eBay seller case_ology yesterday, & awoke this morning to find a message from them. The message explained that the case I'd bought had been a part of a shipment that had been mislabeled by the manufacturer, & were in fact cases for the Sprint version. Sounds familiar, right? Well, the seller, instead of just sending me a Sprint case, offered an immediate refund, or that I could wait until the correct cases arrived early next week.
I was just impressed with the professionalism & thought I'd pass on the info.
Any chance there's any in white? Kinda tired of having a dark phone when my jackets and purses are dark toned and I can't find it.

..what? They're the same damn phone. The only difference is the size of the camera lens assembly, apparently the 13mp camera isn't flush with the body. Or does the LS970 case not have a cutout for the SD/SIM sockets on the left side? .. and why would you WANT one?
I've had the E970 and E971 in my hands side-by-side, that's the only external difference between those two.
No, they are not the same phone. The Sprint version is longer and rounded corners while the AT&T version is wider and has squared corners. And Sprint does not have a SIM/SD card slot. Calm your rampage and do research lol.

Yeah - The AT&T version must be an AT&T exclusive. The Sprint version is the same as the international one externally from what I see. So I guess we're very much a niche market unless LG releases the E970 version internationally also. Or, to put it another way, we're probably going to be waiting a bit for some more case love.
All I want is a silicone case. ): boo for at&t wanting to be different.

Its a good thing as you get MicroSD card or you would of had none.
SD card actually isn't important to me considering 16gb internal.
I'm not even using the SD card yet and I've only used 2 of the internal.

I bought the black one earlier this morning, as well as an Xtremeguard protector.
I was afraid that cases for this phone was going to add bulk and change the look. Bought this case from mini suit from ebay is really nice and cheap price its very thin tpu that also has matte back to so the phone kinda looks original still. the mattes a little slippery though. Has glossy sides that cover up the red though. I usually always have my phones naked cuz i like them slim but the dna has a little give for a case. I never drop my phones but i dropped this one from my pocket face flat on tile with the case and thought the worst because the front screen lip is very very low (which i like) but i got lucky and it didnt shatter, sounded like it did though . I recomend this case for people that like minimal protection to keep thyre phones like new . Also has matte lnside so i feel more comfortable that it wont scratch the phone.

Thanks, saw that one already though. Only seller available is charging $15 (after shipping) which is more than I'm willing to spend compared to $4 for the others. I ended up just ordering a clear one.
Is anyone willing to sell me their Flex mini suit case? They are no longer available online but I really want this case.
This case is the best in "slim" class. My recommendations.

It's hit or miss with that site, what you see is not always what you get. Some sellers quality is better than others but you won't know until you get it in hand.

Still waiting and will not forget to post pics and probably do a video unboxing for this but it supposedly takes 25 to 60 days to arrive and the next one I will purchase will be the Slim armor with s-view which its relatively cheap. If anyone has pics that can post it would be greatly appreciated and will also start making unboxing of other ckver sthat I get from the site.

I have a real one (amazon) as well as a replica (aliexpress). The hole for the S-pen is too small on the replica unless your friends call you captain hook and you have trouble getting through security at airports. Waste of money as it cannot be easily modified to work better.

Can you put pictures competing both side by side

Here are the pics after almost 20 days waiting. It is of decent quality but the openings are not accurat. For instance the spen is really hard and I mean almost impossible to take out and the charger opening can be bigger but it worls just fine other than that for the price of less than 5 bucksi would buy another one in a heart beat.

I got mine today....
I ordered one from aliexpress. I received my case in 15 days, not bad at all. As for the quality of the case, I really can't complain, it says spigen neo hybrid, nothing like spagen or ned hibrid. The access to the ports work ok, the S-pen is a little harder to get but not impossible. The buttons feel a little shaky but not bad.
For 6.35 usd and free shipping I can't find for now anything wrong. I am sure there are great differences with the real one, but I don't have one to compare. You get what you paid for.
I got my case from this aliexpress seller:
http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6030859577.html
I would be happy to answer any question from you.
Oh I forgot, the seller provided a tracking number, that is not usual for an order with low value. So it's another plus for them.

I'm assuming, since that was their one and only post, that they do NOT have both cases! Heck, they probably don't even have one of them, real or fake. People normally don't bother to join a site just to make 1 short post. If they felt so strongly about the topic that they did go through the trouble of joining a site just to post, then you can be assured that they would reply when quoted and asked for more info on that topic!
Anyway, that out of the way. I appreciate your posts, pics, and info. It doesn't look bad at all, I was honestly expecting much worse! Unless someone has an authentic Spigen case in that same model, then they won't know the difference. I have an authentic Spigen Bounce case, but I wouldn't have known that yours was a knock-off had you not stated it.

Has anyone tried this case? I want to give it a shot but I wanted some feedback if someone has already tried it or has it.
Thanks!

Thanks, I have tried original spigen case for my S3 and I think they are overpriced. Specially for the newer model phone like our S3. I will buy the knock off instead. Thank you.
One question though, they do not accept paypal, and I am weary of giving out my credit card number. Did you use CC or bank transfer?
===========
Edit:
I couldn't resist the temptation so I ordered 2 cases. Slim Armor and Neo Hybrid both for $13 delivered. We'll see when they get here next month.
I've seen some killer deals on that site, but always wondered about the sketch-factor, so have never placed an order. However, after getting a feel for what they're all about through this thread, I'm feeling some temptation to grab one of these S-View cases: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/High...-N9000-Elegant-Stylish-Design/1347667183.html
Anyone have one? Thoughts?
Regarding the problem with the S-pen hole in the Neo Hybrid knock-off, I'd probably just grab a drill with any medium sized bit, then run the drill and use the side of the bit to "sand" around the edges to widen and align the hole. Seems like that would work on plastic, unless I'm missing something?

I have one that I bought a couple of weeks ago. It's a nice case, especially for the price. The only drawback is that you can't access the s-pen, there is no door to get to it. I only plan on using it when I'm going fishing so not having the s-pen won't be a problem. The Home button is a little firm to press but it will probably get softer with use.

Pretty good protective case. The only thing I hate about it is the screen protector scratches super easy and also has little colored dots you can see in different angles. The sound also gets muddled quite a bit. I'll save it for the summer, near the pools and beaches.
Where did you buy yours from?

in my opinion if you got two things both giving the same functionality one is cheaper and another is a bit pricey. I would choose the cheaper alternative given that it both offers the same thing. why spend more when you could spend less. and with that balance money you could buy other stuff.

I had an Obex case for a day and returned it, I had a few issues with mine. There are a lot of people returning them for not being very waterproof.
