Do Not Buy from GrootGadgets - OnePlus 5 Accessories

I was led to believe I was purchasing an official OnePlus case but in reality I paid $17 for a cheap silicone case. It took 20 days to ship as well. Below is the case I was led to believe I was buying versus what I received.

That has to be illegal (false advertising). If you paid via paypal open a dispute. Contact them and request a refund for it not being the correct product.

Might want to include the coupon code "big75"
Thanks for the heads up!
I just got mine in the mail from Amazon and I paid about $4 for a single one. If these are up your alley, then its a great price.
That said, I haven't gotten a chance to install it but I'm a bit weary. They were shipped in an envelope with a very flimsy, probably cardboard, squeegee. The letter had some sand in it but it doesn't look like it damaged the product. All of the protectors are shipped wrapped in a single piece of paper and not properly packaged in a bag. The actual pieces you install are also not weeded from the bulk sheet of rubber, so I can't say for sure whether or not the cuts are good and finished.
You get what you pay for, but it might be just fine.
have used these for all my phones, and they are just about as good as the zagg brand for much cheaper. they have excellent customer service, sent me three replacements because one was damaged during the flimsy shipping, and one was slightly irregular, and never asked for the ones in return, overall very happy

Tpu and Hybrids and Flip cases oh my! sung to tune of Wizard of Oz

After returning two cases to T-Mobile, looking at the lame Incipio cases at ATT, looking at Amazon every day and almost pulling the trigger on a cheap enough Supcase, I finally scrolled thru all the crap on Ebay and ordered 3 cases for a grand total of 22 dollars, yes 20 dollars less than the cheapest case at T-Mobile or ATT. Can you believe the S-View is 65 dollars at Att online, 59.99 from Samsung and lucky for me back ordered or I would have wasted money lol. I'm sure one of these 3 cases will be a winner, a man can dream right?
I originally had 6 cases in my cart and then narrowed it down, I have a white Note 3 fyi, here are the links to the 3 finalists in case anyone likes my taste, it took me 2 hours to wade through pages of them. I only looked at sellers in the United States, only Free shipping and of course buy it now. Can you believe some guy was reselling 5 dollar Upcases from Amazon for 49.99 on Ebay? I doubt anyone is dumb enough to buy one, especially savvy Note 3 owners. Guess I'll be reviewing these 3 cases in a few days lol

The Caseology case could be found cheaper on Amazon and that S View case you bought will not work as stated by other users in the S View threads. The $65 cases are the only working S View cases as of this moment. If you can cancel that Caseology case, you should and buy it on Amazon. It's the same seller too.

The Caseology is the same price once you add the 3 dollar shipping charge on Amazon it becomes 7.99 as well.
I put in a cancel request for the S-View one, worst case he sends it and I don't like I can return it. The description does say it will turn off and on the screen and you can use clocks and music etc thru the window, I sent him a message saying if they don't work I want to cancel but he is 98% rated on Ebay big seller so I'm sure he won't want a bad review either way.

They put "Leather" and "Matte" in their title. That's what got me since on Amazon it's either matte or the leather version. I was thinking of just the leather case which is $5 shipped.

Is it worth it to return a Neo Hybrid or other accessories?

I'm curious about what happens to the accessories that you order, but don't really like enough to use. I already have a charging back for the S4 I only kept a month. Is it better to return them, or do most people sell through Swappa or a PM on XDA?
After I got my Neo Hybrid (in metal slate) I just don't like it as much as the Poetic Borderline bumper that cost $20 less.
Now I have a $25 case I'll never use. I ordered from Spigen by way of Amazon, so I assume the $5 Spigen restocking fee they mention on their web site applies, and of course I'll have to pay shipping, probably $3, so I end up with $17 for a loss of $8.
If I sell online I have to beat the Amazon price by a little and after allowing for shipping I'll end up with about the same.
I don't get into this position often, but it isn't the first time. How do you guys usually do it?

I normally just keep them and throw them in with the phone when I resell them on swappa.

I'd take the $17. No need to keep a case that you aren't going to use at all.
Currently selling my White S-Folio Flip Cover on ebay for $39.95 buy it now and 19.95 bid. Wasn't impressed with this cover, it gets in the way, doesn't close properly and shows virtually nothing useful in the S-View window. Currently using a Spigen UltraFit case which for $10 is actually pretty decent, but I've got a champagne Neo Hybrid on order.
Damn, I didn't realize Spigen has a $5 restocking fee. I got mine through Amazon as well. I'm still going to return the Neo Hybrid. I use Amazon Basics cables to charge my phone, and both the micro usb 2.0 and usb 3.0 cables don't fit with the Neo Hybrid because the plastic rim on the case blocks the ports.
Oh well, lesson learned. This is the first company I've come across who charges restocking fee for something like a phone case. It just simply means I will not try their cases in the future.
Definitely worth it.
I bought the NeoHybrid ($25) and their SlimFit ($10) for $35, but they both sucked, imo, compared to a $5 Caseology TPU case, so I returned 'em to Amazon with "delivered too late" (3 weeks) as the reason. $35 - $3 for shipping == $32 == worth it. (No restocking fee either).

I just rechecked the stocking fee business, it looks like they don't normally charge that if it is "returned in the original packaging and with all the items included" so that's good news for me. I assume it'll be the same policy for items we get through Amazon. Even though I got mine through Amazon it was actually sold & shipped by Spigen.

[Q] LG G3 CCH-320G case availability

I really want this case. Seems for some reason it is very rare and hard to find.
I ordered one a month ago from MyTrendyPhone.com and it has still not arrived. They sent me affidavit to sign that I just sent back. I have a feeling all I am going to get is a refund.
Anyone know where I can get this case in black?
Thanks,
Chad
First I got an email saying they would be shipping me a new one.
Then overnight I got an email saying they are sold out and offering me 20% off my next order under $40. Offered me a refund as well.
Why is this case in such sort supply? I don't have one yet, but it looks to be the best case out there. It replaces the back cover which adds less bulk, and has wireless charging built in.
I have not been able to get my hands on one either.
Finally got my refund from MyTrendyPhone.com, and have now placed an order with Expansys.com. They have it available. Also got the Quick Circle Wireless Charging case ,to see which one I like better.

Looks like they only have it in white?
Bought mine from Amazon.de Germany. Use chrome browser and it will translate. Choose other sellers and pick Amazon. Got it in about a week and a half for just under $40 including shipping.
MyTrendyPhone is a garbage company. Ordered from them too but never again. The Slim Guard case is absolutely the best case for the G3. I bought mine from Expansys and received it within a week. It is every bit worth the $45 or so that I paid and yes; it is very hard to find. Your best bet is maybe a secondhand off of eBay.
Does anyone know of anyone selling the black case unused?

I just bought two (one for me and the other for my wife) from amazon.de but unfortunately the seller didn't ship to the USA so I had it sent to my cousins apartment in Germany and she forwarded me the package which I received today.
Some pictures to share...
just purchased from Amazon.fr. 42USD.
the only seller on the German Amazon that would ship to me would charge an exorbitant shipping fee.
I have got the uk version but getting shot of it as not for me. Prefer my supacase.

Accessories for sale

I decided to return my Zuk Z1 so I am selling a black Nillkin case with a plastic screen protector. I also have 2 tempered glass protectors.
$7 takes all plus shipping, I should be able to ship for about $5 in the US.
Bump, Accessories are $5 plus shipping, or free plus shipping to a forum developer.
If no one replies, they go in the trash.
Given that you would otherwise trash them and no other developer calling claims to it I would love to take it should you be willing to give them to me.

Sure you can have it, where are you located? Austria, how much to ship from NY, and how? Actually I could also throw in a leather swivel holster to make it worth your while.
You developers are the ones that make all the magic happen to our phones! :good:
