I have one that I bought a couple of weeks ago. It's a nice case, especially for the price. The only drawback is that you can't access the s-pen, there is no door to get to it. I only plan on using it when I'm going fishing so not having the s-pen won't be a problem. The Home button is a little firm to press but it will probably get softer with use.

Did you buy it from eBay or red pepper? It looks like a great case and im trying to get away from my love Mei signal thief.

Pretty good protective case. The only thing I hate about it is the screen protector scratches super easy and also has little colored dots you can see in different angles. The sound also gets muddled quite a bit. I'll save it for the summer, near the pools and beaches.

Where did you buy yours from?

in my opinion if you got two things both giving the same functionality one is cheaper and another is a bit pricey. I would choose the cheaper alternative given that it both offers the same thing. why spend more when you could spend less. and with that balance money you could buy other stuff.

I had an Obex case for a day and returned it, I had a few issues with mine. There are a lot of people returning them for not being very waterproof.

AT&T Store Otterbox Prices..

$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.

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.

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.

Self Made Phone Cases

Hello people!
I was pretty frustrated with the fact that markets are only flooded with iPhone covers and devices like our L9 barely have any accessories available. I had a Galaxy Mini earlier and faced a similar challenge.
So I resorted to making covers myself!
You can check out the photos over here.
I could make a jacket type or a pouch type, with or without a stylus pocket, with or without camera and speaker slots. I could colour it the way you want and write whatever you want or leave it blank for you to do your own thing. The first few pictures show a one with a plastic pocket on the back to slide in a paper. The photograph in that model can be removed and replaced.
The main ingredient to the covers is newspaper. (Reuse!!)
The covers are decently tough even though they are made from newspapers. They have a layering of cardboard to give them extra strength and fevicol too gives them a lot of strength. The top covering is with a mixture of fevicol and water applied on tissue paper which also strengthens the whole thing.
I paint using acrylic colours because of two reasons--1) They are waterproof. They wont let the phone get wet unless you drench the whole thing. 2) That is what I have at home and I am too lazy to go to the market.
If somebody is interested in buying one, you could Email me at [email protected]
I only have the following phones and can only make covers for these.
Samsung Galaxy Mini
BlackBerry Curve 8900
LG Optimus L9
iPhone 5
P.S. Yes, its DBatraOriginals.
Putting #swag at the end discredited your whole post.

Is the textured stuff like "grabby" at all. Does it stick when you pull it out of your pocket?

I didnt get the "grabby" part. And it is a bit sticky in the beginning, like when the paint is new. But in a couple of days, its very smooth. I am using one myself and i have absolutely no problems.

Buddy it s awful :laugh:

Thing is there is actually a decent selection of cases for the L9 on eBay, you just have to do a little digging. Hell there are Nilkin cases for less than $10 and brand new from various eBay retailers (I ordered one myself last week). Or you can get the S-line cases for less than $4. All of them come with free shipping.
Just search "optimus l9 cases" and you get a lot of results. The main problem is that there aren't enough cases and acessories in local phone shops but it's much cheaper to get it online anyway. I'm never going to buy cases or screen protectors from regular stores again (i've wasted too much money unnecessarily), i'm sticking to online lol.

Replica covers from AliExpress

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.

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.

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?

You may want to check out http://www.gethuawei.com/huawei-ascend-mate-2.html . this is what I went to to get mine. Its unlocked and has free shipping for orders over $99. They are selling the phone for around $300 but I got mine when they had a special on them and got a reverse charging cable, a sim card and $50 net 10 card all for free. They don't have that now but it still might be worth checking them out.
I bought mine from Consumer Cellular. If I had to do it again, I would pay the extra $50 and get one via gethuawei.com. Not that CC is bad mind you, but it was a bit of extra effort to get it both boot loader and carrier unlocked.

I know just the thing!
if your looking for a case to go with your new phone you may want to check this one out.
http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-pro...-4g/cyclops-case-huawei-ascend-mate-2-4g.aspx
you can probably find it cheaper on amazon but its very good at keeping your phone safe. I have one and their very good, the only thing is if you need to take the phone out you just about need a chisel to get the case open again. All the ports like the charging port and headphone jack is covered the only thing that not really covered by the case a little bit at the top where the speaker is.

I do not recommend the white one. It has a glossy back that is highly slippery. I tried all the rubberised cases then just ended up buying the black OEM back for it.

The White one was what I had initially (sample device). Wife loves that one for some reason. I'm definitely aiming for the black though. That is for sure. Would be pretty slick if I could get the Black model with a dark red back cover.... Oh how sweet would that be lol.

I broke my nexus 6 after ordering the 6p

Just a little rant. I ordered the 6p and was planning on selling my 6 and paying off the balance I still owed to t mobile. Well for the first time in my life, I dropped my phone and broke the screen it's luckily just the glass and the touch still works fine. It's not worth paying $175 deductible to get a new phone when I'm just going to sell it next month. Hopefully I can get close to $200 on eBay even with a cracked screen

Pics? I'm guilty of breaking one myself... Luckily Motorola replaced it.
That sucks, Ive thankfully never broken a screen (knock on wood). Most Nexus phone sell well even with a broken screen but you likely won't get as much as you might hope. I sold my Zenfone 2 on swappa in less than 10 minutes after posting. They are pretty good compared to ebay and they only charge you a $5 fee per sale.
this guy has something here. i've heard of moto/google honoring a one-time replacement for these types of things. wouldn't hurt to ask.

Just a little rant. I ordered the 6p and was planning on selling my 6 and paying off the balance I still owed to t mobile. Well for the first time in my life, I dropped my phone and broke the screen it's luckily just the glass and the touch still works fine. It's not worth paying $175 deductible to get a new phone when I'm just going to sell it next month. Hopefully I can get close to $200 on eBay even with a cracked screen

If it's just the glass, check out ifixit.
You could probably do it yourself, and I've seen the glass go for under $20

Yea, I fix screens, all you need is a heat gun, the glass replacement, and patience.

Hmm maybe I'll give it a try. I thought I read that it's not easy to replace just the glass
Edit: probably not going to replace the glass. Seems like it will be a huge pita if you don't have the right tools or experience. I've never done it before and don't want to make things worse

This looks like the best tutorial, though there aren't really any good ones that I could find...

Really easy to do for the N6 but the glass and digitizer come glued together

I bought my N6 in december last year, just before xmas. it fell out of my pocket several times over the first couple of days - was just too big - on the third day that i owned it it fell onto a tiled floor and the screen smashed. claimed on the insurance and never replaced it - just went back to my m8. i was pretty disappointed, cos i loved the screen on the 6, but the overall size of the device and my small pockets meant that we were never meant to be...
that said, i've ordered a 128gb graphite N6p, not sure why i am expecting a different outcome, but i just can't help myself when it comes to the latest nexus device!!
Attached a picture since it was requested.
I lost some chunks of glass today. Not sure where I lost them at
I'm trying not to spend any more money on this phone to fix things. I have insurance and I can claim it for $175, but I still owe like $350 and if I only sell the phone and get lets say $300, I'm still out $225. If I sell it broken and get $175, I'm only out $175.
I'll get my tempered glass screen protector tomorrow so hopefully that will keep the pieces in place until I get my 6P next month
Very bad luck, I recommend you get a case for the next phone. Phone insurance sucks my car has a lower deductible than that lol.
I've used cheap tpu cases and plastic screen protectors from Amazon and so far never had a problem. I sold a Galaxy S1 (fascinate) last year for 70 cause it was pristine. The little things make life easy. Good luck buddy and enjoy the 6P. I can't wait!!

Ya I'll definitely get a case now for my 6P
Not to be a downer, but you can buy a brand new nexus 6 from amazon for $350. I've seen some local on craigslist for under $200 still in the box. The major price drops have killed the resale value. eBay had some brand new for $299 as well.
Good luck selling.

I was considering selling mine thinking I would make a decent amount, but after seeing what they were selling for decided just to keep it as backup.
Good luck with your sale
