If you guys remember the all aluminum bumper available on ebay for $65? well the silver one is down to a much more palatable $18. just ordered mine and it should be in in a week are two. unfortunately the black one is still $65. links are below.
Silver:

Black: (reference)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-PREMI...ccessories&hash=item3cc015de5e#ht_2335wt_1139
EDIT:
ok so i've had the case for a couple weeks and have had time to thoroughly examine it...
IMO it is a beautiful case, it does make the phone larger much like every other case. at first it does feel larger because it has a wider girth than most other cases. you will get people to comment saying "thats a big phone" it happens alot lol
the edges near the screen are actually a little sharp, the company didn't smooth the edges very well. its not gonna cut you or anything like that but it is noticible for the first few days, much like its size. another con is that many 3.5mm headphone cable don't fit well if they are very wide cables...the headphones i use and the aux cord in my car fit without a problem but the one in my mom's car (tape to 3.5mm adapter) does not fit, nor does the one i use to play music on my home theatre system.
it is a beautiful case and adds a good amount of weight, both giving it a more premium feel...overall i'm happy and will suggest it to anyone. with the only con being that some headphones may not fit, all other you can easily get over. i bought the silver one and mixed it with a blue brushed aluminum textured skin from skinit.com, and it looks sexy haha
i like it, but if you want a small case that you'll barely notice, i'd choose a different case
i want black....

But for 17.99 plus a screen protector, microfiber cloth AND free shipping I don't think it's a bad deal at all.

If it was still good, the case would only be $14.62.

I got chrome/burgundy, i love it!!
doesnt add much bulk at all, perfect fit, can access styles,earpiece and all fine
The box has Samsung written all over it but im 95% sure its a fake. But for 8 bucks, you simply CANT beat this
going to see if this will work with a seidio holster
will post pick when i get back home and cam find my camera

Please give us a review of it when you get it. I don't know why so many of these TPU cases have that "S" line on the back. I think it looks cleaner without it.
They are also showing up on Amazon too.

Thanks! But I'm actually waiting for a white or colored one. I have dark pockets ranging from either purses or jacket pockets. Would really like to be able to see my phone instantly. This is the style I want, though.
Edit: It seems this style actually has different colors. Is it possible to find just the case rather than with the chargers? I live downtown without a car so it isn't really needed.
Edit2: xD; Nevermind, colored cases are for Sprint version.
I dislike silicone because they attract so much dust and lint. But I still ordered one because I don't like my phone being "naked" and there isn't a tpu case out that I like.
I emailed diztronic and they told me that they will have one out in a few weeks. Link is below.

I've had a bunch of those rubberized plastic snap cases before for my old phone. Most of them were pretty bad quality. I'd stay away from the cheap ones on Ebay because they don't get reviewed by users and you can't tell if they are quality or not.
Noted bbz, thanks.
[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 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.

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:

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.

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 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.

I got one of these and after a couple of minutes with a sharp knife and small file I was able to enlarge the s-pen opening. Now no problems.
