Galaxy S4 Cases and covers!

I saw a post a while back specifically for the Trident Aegis case. Got one in red and black. I love it, but I have pretty average hands, if not slightly smaller, and with the case on I find it a little difficult to type one handed. Even a month later it's still not easy. Not hard, but one handed typing is definitely more difficult to me then when I had no case. I'm looking into a case with decent protection and a slightly smaller profile now.

does the serial number do anything? :rolleyes:

Look down VVV.

You can use it to verify that it is indeed an authentic case



I got burned by 4 knock off Spigen Slim Armor cases. Thankfully Ebay refunded my money and pulled all the sellers listings of that case.

They fit like crap and now that I have a real one, the difference is night and day. I don't like supporting fraudsters either. And the price on the counterfeit ones were only a few dollars less than the real Spigen ones. Buyer beware.

Scammers on eBay? Shocker. Or you could just order them from an authorized, more reputable dealer. It would reduce the chances of getting a fake.

Well I tried to buy locally as in the state I live in. I checked the reviews and people said they were good. Figured I could save a few days shipping time since Spigen is in California I believe. So I tried to go in state so it wouldn't take 5-6 days to get it. I know Ebay has scammers and counterfeits, but the seller had very good feedback. Oh, well got an original now and I love it.

I have the Neo Hybrid in Silver on my White phone with the Spigen Glas.t.r case.

LOVE THE LOOK. Seriously... love it. But holding it is killing my pinkie. I hold my phone and balance it on the bottom edge with my pinkie. The cut out for the charger is killing it. I've tried to make myself readjust, but I think I've resigned myself to the fact that I need to try something else.


Anyone want to by an almost new Neo Hybrid in Silver? Ugh!

Suggestions for something similar with a rubber bottom?

Haha... I was worried about that. That is exactly how I hold my phone and I know this pinkie fatigue that you speak of. I ordered the cheap version just to see if I like it. Sounds like I will be in the same boat.

Got the dante red neo hybrid on white.

Who else put the home button sticker on? I'm afraid that it'll press on it more likely in my front pocket. It doesn't seem to be leveled with the side of the case.

One of the nicest things about the Tech Armor Ballistic Glass screen protector is the home button. I decided to just leave the home button as it was, without applying the sticker, best thing I ever did, no more presses while in my pocket.

Now, if there was just something I could do about the pesky power button. Every time I pick up the darn phone with the neo hybrid case on it, I bring it out of sleep.

I've had this screen protector since day one of launch for phone. Best one I've had since owning a smart. It's a little pricey for some but well worth it and works well on the phone and you hardly know it is even on the phone.

I second the nomination :) I just got a warranty replacement. Lifetime warranty is nice (even if it really is 2-3 years)

Did you confirm it's a legit Spigen case by entering the serial into Spigen's serial checking webpage? Lots of cheap knock off's are being advertised as genuine Spigen on eBay and other websites.

I bought the Neo Hybrid, GLAS.tR and aluminum home buttons together directly from them and the codes all came back as legit. I notices some bubbles in the finish, didn't figure it would be a problem. I may put my Trident case back on and repaint it my self with a new color not offered by Spigen. Humm... maybe black chrome. Been looking for an excuse to break out the old airbrush since I stopped working on model cars in the mid 90s when I got my first real car.

But, I will say to test the GLAS-tR I was carrying an all metal knife and change in the pocket with the phone. I guess the Neo Hybrid gave up against that pretty quick.

Do you like that screen protector? I ordered it on Saturday and it will be here tomorrow.
