Has anyone bought from aliexpress this (Fake) case? I just saw it from their website, and I think Im not allowed to post links so go ahead guys search @ aliexpress.
Isn't it the one being discussed here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43033741
I bought one and it's very nice. Users in the original thread with the original said the fake one is just as good as the original or better.

Yeah, from what it looks like. I just got mine and it's solid. Except for the kickstand which both units (real and fake suffer from)

There is another site, not ali-express selling now those fake cases. a friend of mine got one from there and looks exactly as the original. since advertising is not allowed, PM me if you want me to send you the address (i hope it's ok, i don't work for it or something).

I have the fake case. It is great. The only gripe i have is when I hold it and rest my pinky on the bottom, the metal part is sharp, and it hurts.

I have that case, it's OK but isn't brilliantly stable when in stand config
Probably not real carbon fiber, as that acts like a faraday cage and blocks wifi and radio signals. We tried making some for the HTC Rezound but it totally killed reception.

No it's not real carbon fiber, as stated in my short review it's got a carbon fiber appearance, but on amazon and my title it is called carbon fibre case so is misleading.

Don't be annoyed with me I do want traffic to my website, it's true!
I requested for my review to be placed in the Nexus 7 Accessory reviews thread, and theomni kindly did, then asked me to start a thread so people could ask me questions about the case.
This is actually the second forum I posted my website on! The first is another nexus 7 website and they banned me straight away for being competition I guess.
I've just bought one off the back of this review. Thanks!

Good I hope you like it andy
I bought one of these, then sold it after a few days. Its very nice looking, "exec style" case, but it felt like it can slip out my hand any time. Anyway I bought another luvtab standard case, that i'm very happy with so far.
I got two of these LuvTab covers for my N7 units (BLK Leather and BLK Carbon Fibre) and I coudn't be happier. It's definitely one of the best options out there and the price is just right.
I came across these fake SGP Neo Hybrid cases on eBay and purchased one for only $14.39 free shipping, I should be getting one in couple of days and post some pictures and maybe do a review. I contacted one of the buyers who already received the case about the quality, he replied back with the following.
(I did not realize it was fake, until i saw on the side "designed by spigen california". I had never heard of Sigen before, so i didn't know what to expect. Overall i'm impressed by the quality, only the white part is on top en bottom a little lose.. The case is definitely worth the money).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SGP-Neo-Hyb...392273?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e71bf7791
I received the case today and as promised I took some pictures, first two pictures were taken outside so you can see the actual color of the case, let me know if you have any question.
I was looking at these too. I was going to buy one but I go for the Ballistic instead.

Any original Spigen - as it appears this one - is a steal when around $25 or less
It was a good price, as I paid £19.99 for mine, although with the button problems so sent it back. Went and bought a fake one for less than half that from China. Meant to not have the same button problems.

Support authenticity. I guess you're ok with supporting China making counterfeit items. I'm not. There's a reason why it's such a big deal. Then you purchasing fakes have no correlation with the country's debt to China. You are a horrible person.

Hey smart one, I've never bought a counterfeit item in my life, learn how to read before calling me a horrible person. I was wanting to start a dialogue (conversation just in case you don't understand the word) about peoples opinion. Just an FYI our chin high debt to China has NOTHING to do with people choosing fake cases over authentic ones.....more than likely Spigen produces its cases in China so please quit trying to start a politically fueled discussion.

Who cares what people buy. If you can afford to buy the authentic then good for you. There are people on these forums that actually want to save money like me and I couldn't care less if my money went to china if I could get "Fake" products for half the price, and you have no right to call people horrible for that.

I've seen a bunch of threads regarding that the Lifeproof cases aren't out yet... But on eBay there are a few cases for sale. I'm guessing these are fake but the pictures look pretty legit. Any experience with these? I'm still new so I can't post links but if you type in "S3 Lifeproof" on eBay it should pop up.

I was about to start a thread and remembered there already was one. So since this thread I've noticed a large increase in the number of fake lifeproof's, I'm assuming some company in china got the specs and started making replicas. Looks like the prices are in the $40 to $50 range, so who's going to be the guinea pig and buy one? Part of me wants to try it since the real lifeproof cases cost $80, but another part of me thinks that its stupid to spend $50 on something that could be complete crap. Especially if it ships from china or hong kong, if I don't like it I'd have to pay the shipping all the way back. Plus I'd have to wait 3 weeks just to get it and possibly another 3 weeks to get the refund........
Anybody want to sponsor me? I'll put a big pictorial and detailed review?:laugh:
LifeProof
I'll be ordering one from a US Seller for a slightly higher markup. I can post a video review on Youtube, and here as well. I'll get it some time next week, as I'll probably order it with my birthday money or when my paycheck comes in. And hey, if you want to push $5 towards the cause, I wouldn't be opposed They look exactly like the iPhone version, even down to the packaging and colors available. one seller even mentioned that they aren't LifeProof branded, but had a 1 month return/refund/warrenty. In addition, Paypal and my bank offer a certain amount of time to make sure a product actually works (3 or 6 months, I think). I'm game for giving it a shot!
I imagine that the install would be the same as for an iPhone... and I'd want to check the seals BEFORE installing my phone... that'd be really sad.

Right, that's the whole point of this entire thread. These are FAKE or replicas or whatever you want to call them, that's why this thread got started. That's why they only cost $40 to $50 dollars. That's why some of them are from CHINA. I think I'll probably end up buying one of these once I find a white one that's being sold here in the US. I know they all are probably being made in the same place in Hong Kong or somewhere but I don't see any reason to order something and wait for a month for it to get here.
