Hi there
recently bought a few sgp cases from ebay , i should have known they were to be good to be true because of the low price and the fact they were from china
They turnt out to be the worst fakes ever and not even worth £1 in my eyes
Things that are wrong with the fake sgp cases
#no steinhall screen protector
#the box isnt the same
#the labels on the box and the font used are wrong
#the hologram is completley different and wrong on the fakes
#the silicone is mega cheap and attracts loads of dust unlike the genuine ones
#the colours are wrong (dante red isnt dante red more like lipstick red)
#the plastic outer is even thinner then normal and feels mega cheap
#the fitting of the case is really really bad
They are basically the worst fakes i have ever seen and they are selling these cheap nasty fakes by using the branding of sgp and the quality brand they have built up over the years
i bought mine from the ebay seller http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI...sspagename=VIP:feedback&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller
he is very unhelpfull and he says if i want my money back i must post all the cases back to china at my own exspense even though he has rippedme off and sold fakes , yet his auction clearly shows genuine pics of the cases etc
so far i am about £40 out of pocket as i bought a few of them for me and friends , i cant give this crap to my friends , it would b like giving them a kick in the face as a gift
so this is just a little heads up to all those thinking they might try and find a bit of a bargain on sgp cases -- dont bother , they are terrible quality , nothing like sgp cases , just spend the extra moneys and buy a genuine one froma decent seller
i am currently trying to get my money back from the seller and hoping ebay do the decent thing and refund me , ive opened a case against him as i dont see why i should have to pay to return these crap cases when the seller has sold me fakes yet not mentioned anything of the sort in his auction
i will pload pics later at some point today or tomorrow but just wanted to give users a heads up on thsi terrible seller and his crappy fake cases
Negative feedback him and report him to paypal and ebay for selling fakes.
in ebay the most sgp is fake , bad quality
Yeah, this seller is just plain horrible. I've seen other people selling fake SGPs on eBay but at least they have the courtesy to mention that it is a fake that they are selling. This guy is obviously trying to pass of fakes are originals.
Saw a seller from Korea selling some for around 25$ will they be fake too ?
ive ordered an sgp neo hybrid from ebay uk for 10pounds and everything is as you described different packaging no screen protector etc, not sure if the original case supposed to collect dust better than a duster but this one does so i am returning it asap

Korean selllers generally tend to sell legit ones. Its those that cost <$14 that you should be worried about.
I had a wrong label on the box (wrong colour) and the screen protector scratched very easy. Fake? Has anyone some pictures to compare between fake and original?

More details. What case is it? Honestly, don't expect people to help if you can't explain in greater depth. Try going to the doctor's and tell them to heal you by just saying you're sick yet not giving any details.
To the OP
i was looking at the feedback of the seller who seemed to have sold you a fake. seems like he has 98% positive feedback(scary, if this was a reliability stat), and there seem to be alot of happy customers, do you think you were just unfortunate to get a fake or are the others being fooled to think tht the fakes are actually genuine.

if the ebay seller has sold such a horrible fake i doubt the seller has any genuine sgp cases for sale, majority feedback i assume would be from people who arent all that savvy about product and packaging or people who just dont really care aslong as it some what fits and looks nice
that is one of the bad thing of buy on ebay, but remember to check the feedback of the seller, and confirm the quality of the item.

are both original?
First is real but the second link the pics are too distorted and disproportional

they both seem authentic to me.. nice and clean cutouts and edges
Need a photo of the inside of the case and skin to be absolutely certain...
1 more question should i buy this case and trust sealer?

he say
Hello
Thank you for your email.
Yes all our items are genuine.
or better buy at officel site?
and 1 more case is this looks fake or oirignal?

and
http://www.ebay.com/itm/UAG-Composi...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item53f45be02c
Don't know UK sellers.
The 2 UAG cases are stock photos, not actual product, so no way to be 100% certain, but both sellers have high positive feedback.
Please let me know if you bought the case or cases, I'm looking for an original and cheaper UAG or Commuter. Thanks.
UAGs are on Amazon for $20-22 occasionally, even cheaper if you don't mind a returned item.... Much cheaper than that for a genuine one you're unlikely to find.

Amazon accept PayPal? and can give give me link of case
Yes and no....
Re: Amazon and Paypal
You can't use it the easy way, the one-button-clicking way like as if you were paying on Ebay or someplace that officially takes it. BUT, all you need to do is get a Paypal debit card and you can.
Plus it will give you a little bit of a rebate each time you use it like that to make purchases.*
Obviously all you need do is search "uag s3" and look for any sold or fulfilled by Amazon. You don't need a link for that... :thumbup:
I am looking for a good case that wont ruin my bank account as I am a student and usually have no money lol... I was loking at these cases and was wondering if any of you guys have bought or seen them in the wild and have an opinion about them:

Don't order from Spigen. They marked my item as shipped, but didn't actually ship it until a week later.
Also, it seems more miss than hit with the quality of many of Spigen's cases.

Ive been reading mixed reviews about them but so far havent heard anything bad about ringke. Might get one of theirs but ive only seem the slim ones that dont really look like they offer any drop protection, which is what im looking for lol.
ive got the spigen ultra hybrid, as mentioned, their shipping is a little bit sketchy, but the case is great. the free screen protector is nice to have just in case, the buttons work great, and access to all the ports. i would definitely reccomend the ultra hybrid
what about this one?
http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Superle...=cm_cr_pr_product_top?tag=androidcentral00-20
seen this case and curious if anyone has any experience with it?
i really like my neo hybrid case, a little on the pricey side but it provides everything i want (thin but all corner/side protection with screen spacing).

regarding the Fosmon case - I searched and searched and could not find a review. I did see they are $3.95 on ebay with free shipping:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Slim-Flexib...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item43c190797f
I mean for $3.95... worth the risk I suppose.

i got the Ringke fusion and hate it. Poor materials, poor fit and they charged me 2 weeks before shipping it.
Hi,
are there any styleswap cover that cost less than the originals?
Thank you.
No.
Aliexpress sell some, not sure what they are like, tempted to order myself.

I ordered a Rosewood Styleswap on Aliexpress about two weeks ago. Was discounted from 25€ to 18€ so I gave it a shot. Pretty sure it's not legit, but I'd be happy to take some pics once it arrives.
I ordered the same yesterday with a tempered glass protector, has to be worth a shot i guess lol
Just ordered a black apricot cover for 17.49. Rolling my dice here also. I sure hope its real. This would be 10 dollars cheaper than OP and no paying for shipping.

I have been tempted to order the same. Interested in seeing your pictures when it arrives.
Looks like there's a lot of listings on eBay for style swaps for $12-$15.
Some of them say they aren't original and some don't. They all of course just use the stock image.
Tempted to buy one but don't want it to be crap.

I also have a black apricot, kevlar, and rosewood back cover on the way from Aliexpress. In fact it may even be from the same listings as some of you guys here have bought from. They claim it to be original, and I honestly won't be surprised if they are genuine. After all OnePlus is from China. The phone is made in China, the official accessories are made and packed in China. And it is known that you can buy authentic stuff for Chinese brands from Taobao, Aliexpress..etc what not, even if they cost a lot less. The reason why they can afford to sell them so cheap is usually due to over production and cuts in packaging, so don't be surprised if your back cover comes shipped without the retail packaging. But it doesn't matter as long as its authentic.
I have also ordered the Apricot. Looking forward to give reviews

These ones are on eBay. They look okay so be interesting to see how they fit. Out of Hong Kong.

- Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the itemprice or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer responsibility.
- Please check with your country customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
Don't know what your country's customs is like, but you might want to reconsider as the price may very well rise quite a bit. It's also specified that this is not genuine and the cover is made out of PC (polycarbonate). This is a pretty durable type of plastic, but prone to change colour after being exposed to sunlight for too long. It's also more prone to scratches, slippier than other materials and more likely to acquire fingerprints, grease and sweat than other materials.

Thats what literally every seller on ebay and aliexpress says regardless of what they are selling.
What's more important is this portion in the description:
*Brand: OEM
*Condition: Brand New
*Material: PC(special treatment, look and feel almost exactly the same as the original product)
*Color: Bamboo/Black Apricot/Kevlar/Rosewood/Sandstone Black
*Compatible with: OnePlus 2
*An battery back cover, not a case.

Also notice the picture of the phone with the sandstone cover back, the OnePlus logo is not present. Might be photoshopped to remove the logo due to risk of getting taken down however. But at that price it might be worth a shot even if its a replica? Butif the Aliexpress listings turn out to be the real deal, I'd rather buy that instead for 17.49 USD. :victory:

Not Original Product
It's definitely a replica I'd say.

Yeah I knew they weren't genuine but that is in Aussie $ so pretty cheap for US$ and Euros. Yeah no extra taxes coming into Oz for us, not yet anyway they have just changed the law for next year.
I bought this cover from Hong Kong and it is excellent. I was pretty dubious to the quality when I ordered but at that price why not. The fit is perfect and has a great non slip feel very similar to the original back case. I like it as it is nice and light and no extra bulk to the phone. I got the black cover just see what it looked like and very pleasantly surprised. In US$ just over $5.00. Bargin lol

Looking for a shop that sells internationally and has good prices and isn't scamazon. There are tons of ebay sellers with lookalike covers. They all say genuine, oem etc. I can't tell which ones are real and which are fakes. The only one I'm fairly sure is legit is from Korea and costs a fair bundle of money. Any ideas guys? Thanks.
I bought mine from aliexpress

How do you know it's not fake?
I am sure it is but it fits and works perfectly and cost 10 dollars
Sent from my LG-D693n using Tapatalk
ok well my question was where to buy the original case. i know some of the fakes are probably as good or better but it sucks taking a chance since it takes so long to get here
It's a case not the tablet itself as long as it protects the tablet what difference does it make? But hey it's your money just giving you another option and if you want an original cover just get from your Internet provider, that way you can the maximum possible price for something that a fake does the same for 10 bucks

I got a legit one from Conrad, for €40 (which is €20 cheaper than Samsung direct).
I bought a Moko cover, it only cost $15 but has a cover. It also covers the corners so if it's dropped it's pretty well protected. In the U.S. Amazon sells it.
I have an el-cheapo Chinese cover coming probably today or tomorrow. Will post comments/pics.
Have not found an affordable source for the official book cover. I'll try to pick it up when I'm travelling for work to a place where there is a Samsung store (none in my country).
Anybody tried the Samsung bluetooth keyboard? Any good?
I have just bought a new Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 Value Edition (that's what it's called here in Switzerland, it's the upgraded version with the octa core processor) and I am looking for a case that has a strap on the back that makes the tablet easier to hold with one hand, preferably a rotatable one but a static one would do as well, does anybody already have something like that for the 8 inch S2 version that he could suggest to me or has anybody heard of a good case with such a feature? Otterbox, Griffin etc. dont seem to sell any cases with a strap on the back for the Tab S2.
Ebay or Amazon my friend....used probably....
