So where does everyone buy their i9100 accessories at? I am sure that the best deals are online but which store is best? What I mean by best is: the best value overall. Of course price is probably the biggest fator but other things to take into account are shipping prices and time for shipment, quality of packaging, largest selection and best customer service. I need to buy a case, charger, data cable and maybe a screen protector and car mount. I want to buy everything all at once so I can save on shipping and I also noticed that lately that isn't the place to go for the best deal. Plus some of the sellers are a bit shady sometimes!
Ebay is really good. They have a great system set up and if you know what you're looking for it's a great way to save money..

Amazon's got an MHL adapter for the Evo3D, Sensation, etc. HERE'S the link
I know it's a few bucks more than Monoprice, but considering it's from Amazon, I think it might be worth it. I don't quite trust Monoprice.
That's a great price. Even if it is complete junk, returning it will be a breeze since its fulfilled by Amazon.
Yeah. That's what I was thinking. It is worth the extra money to make the customer service side of it a lot better(Although I don't have a lot of experience with Monoprice).
I can't speak for the quality of the Monoprice adapter, since I caved early on and bought one from T-Mobile for $20, but Monoprice itself is a great store. I've been buying quality cables from them for years, at great prices, very often their cables are even better than the overpriced crap at retail stores (thicker, higher gauge, better plug terminations, etc.).
Just this month I ordered two Displayport cables for the 3x24" desktop setup I'm building and after the order apparently got lost they sent them out again via 2-day air / UPS. Good customer service imo.
Thanks I ordered one.

$80 for the Defender, $60 for Commuter. Wow. I would recommend ordering it online. However, they will be available on the 20th.
If im correct...AT&T will replace your case if it gets damaged for free. Thats why they sell it at a higher price.

The only plus of buying it at AT&T is you can switch it right away if it gets damaged, otterbox offers the same thing though, but they ship it out, i've had 3 cases replaced by them (3 different phones) and 2 of them were just regular wear and tear.

Depends on the case now actually. They've been having us go through otterbox for all warranty exchanges now. Mainly iphone ones though.

ATT pricing is a joke..
either pay list price from otter box, or wait a week or 2 when every one starts discounting them
Got an extra one that a friend bought brand new in Texas, selling it or willing to trade possibly for something useful (nice sd card class 6 or above) pm if interested

Yeah, I'm waiting, I get 50% off all accessories at AT&T stores due to my pops working for the post office. Plus I just purchased a Speck case that I will be taking back just as soon as this Otter Box hits the stores.

Yeah, they're much cheaper on eBay.

That much !
That is not worth it at all. I will just keep my speck case. No way I will pay that.

I've gotten otter boxes on eBay and have had them replace them for me free of charge. In fact, they replaced a case twice for the HTC g2 when I had that. So get it for cheaper ANYWHERE else.

I don't see the Zagg HD. Is it on sale?
I have always bought the cheap screen protectors off ebay. I just bought 6 for $2 with free shipping. What's the difference between these and the cheap ones?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Yeah for some reason, they don't have the HD version on their website. The only place I've seen it is at Best Buy.
Yes I called zagg, and they told me its like a best buy exclusive for now don't know if it was bs though...wish I knew that, I had placed my order already prior to knowing of the hd model. Still 14 bucks for a full protection not bad.

Ebay Link
Buyer beware of course, but I've seen stranger things turn out to be legit that are basically sold out the back door of a Chinese factory. Ebay has some decent protection, if anyone is interested in this deal. I admit that I'm very tempted, I picked up a unbadged Galaxy Tab this way, but from a different seller.

It's hit or miss with that site, what you see is not always what you get. Some sellers quality is better than others but you won't know until you get it in hand.

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.
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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.

Can you put pictures competing both side by side

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?

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.
