[Background]
Nowadays every budget negotiation needs a fight. So does mine with wife. My hobby to hack around in android world and write one or two apps now meets a bit of reality: spend way too much on getting devices to test and hack.
[What is this about]
I don't ask for donations because partly I am not big shots dev here... and partly I don't like being a recipient of a donation (no disrespect to others who receives because their work deserves the gratitude)
So I am selling phone cases hopefully to fund my hobby through those sales.
If you happen to be looking for one case for your new DNA, please don't mind to take a look of mine.
[What you will get]
1. A good quality DNA case that I personally tested using my DNA
2. A seller that is NOT shipping from CHINA / HongKong that takes 2-3 weeks to arrive. Instead, I will ship the item within the business day and it will arrive in 3-4 days with tracking number on it to all US address. (takes a bit longer for folks what are not in US)
3. A seller that is always around at this forum that if you are not happy with your purchase, you can get a full refund without any questions.
4. A seller with good reviews.
I like this case. That's why I am selling them. And I recommend it to you. =)
awww no rear led hole and no matte finish.... but :good: these look great
Looks great! Just bought a blue and a white version. . .
seems to be shipped already in 1 hour... anyways, hope it works well.
If it were a snap on hard case I would be all over it. The soft cases dont do much for me but these do look great! Awesome job. Eh, screw it. I'll order one! After reading the description I feel like these will be nice.

I'll bite.... One just ordered.
Edit: Just purchased maybe 5 min ago and already got tracking number. Impressed already!
Quick question. In the pics it looks like the case doesnt really hug the phone. Or was the phone just sitting on the case?

Mine just came today.
It looks as listed on ebay. Like it a lot. Not a fancy case but very good quality for the price.
Bigger question to me now is wether i should keep Note 2 or DNA........
I am looking for a good bumper for the phone. It's an amazing phone and I will not like to cover it all the way.
Let me know if there are any suggestions for the bumpers for this beauty

I have this case and it really does not add a lot of bulk to the phone.
I would say around half the thickness of the Spen on its slimmer side, if that makes sense.
Protects the phone really well though, since it has 2 material composition.
I have dropped my phone from my face height several times (talking while holding multiple other stuff on both hands) but case looks fine besides a few surface scratches.
Thickness is about 7/16 (.4375) or 11mm.

I highly doubt they're fake. Smart Shop has almost one hundred thousand ratings and 94% of those ratings are positive. I've also read here on XDA about many people ordering the bumper when it's $0.01 and haven't seen anything about them being fake.

I got the bumper right now and first impressions are pretty positive but I was still looking for a slimmer bumper that will add even less weight or bulk to the phone. I will use it for a couple of days before posted a update to this thread about the bumper. In the mean time if you have any questions then feel free to ask

"Fake?" Poetic is just branding a generic case from the same Chinese supplier as the Bear Motion bumper ring case.

Just looked at the bumper they have on their site and it looks very similar to the Poetic and Bear Motion, doesn't seem slimmer and its 2/3 times the price. Looks good though, but not for 24 dollars.

Doesn't look all that similar to me. My main concern is that it might have a transparent shell based on that watermark logo in the pics. That would prevent me from using it with my slightly thicker official Samsung wireless charge cover battery door. The Bear Motion / Poetic case fits fine but I hate the squishy power button. They don't show any pics without a phone so I can't tell if there is a shell or not. With a shell it wouldn't technically be a bumper, but Love Mei is guilty of that error too.

This hands down beats the 9 dollar one I got off Amazon. Amazon shipped it via Prime but the actual glass was crap. It blocked the front camera and made it blurry. This one took forever (from China) but is legit.
At $7 I'd say it's just as good as anything else that companies are selling. I wouldn't be surprised if most of these were all made in the same factories.

Does it look exactly like the one in the picture? How is the smoothness? And does it attract fingerprints?
The description said it's .66 mm which makes it really think... Is it ?

Actually it's the same one in the picture but I got it from this seller... yes its pretty thick but it feels very sturdy and fits perfect... I've had mine on for like 3 weeks and have not one light scr on it, so it really does protect the screen very well..

its been weeks now and it's awesome.
Even though spigen has pretty good clarity with their regular screen protectors, glass is visually much more pleasing. not to mention it feels so much better.
I hope people stop buying overpriced tempered glass protectors because the $7 dollar one is just as good and significantly cheaper.
+1 on the $7 tempered glass from ebay!
I got mine yesterday and it was probably one of the easiest installs I've ever done.
Steam from shower + Hinge/Tape Method = Win!

you could of posted this in a existing thread, there are many available, no need to open a new thread.
This is the best accessory of the year for the Note 3. 2 months and not one bubble or blemish. Primary reason why I'm not quick to buy a curved display.
Thank you for this thread! I just got two of these in today and I must say it is the best tempered glass protector I have applied and used. The feeling is better than glass and it went on super easy. So easy in fact I now have an extra one lol.
Thanks again for saving me some cash!

Can u post some pics.
Want to see how it fits on the screen, especially top and bottom ends
Didn't see this thread, but I bought the one from amazon that is $6.72 before shipping it comes in a white box colored in green 2.95D Tempered Glass and hands down this is the best upgrade for the price so far. I didn't order two because I was kinda worried, but I just ordered a few more for my other phone and backup just in case.
Went on with no bubble no fuss in less than a few minutes.

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.

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.
SwiftKey'ed from my White Sprint Note 3 via XDA Premium
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?

This case is just a chinese made case. Ebay and Amazon both sell them and the ratings on Amazon are not good. I would pass only because of the price point. Looks cool though.

As my experience, all kinds of metal bumper or sealed aluminum case will reduce mobile signals to some extend, I will pass them except crazy on it...
