So yesterday I tried to remove my case and well got a little aggressive with the frame and snapped it :@

Good thing is the actual TPU part wraps around the phone nicely still but I did a temporary fix by super gluing the crack part of the frame together for the time being.

I did just order another black/black case from a different seller on eBay who goes by the name qiu09 who is selling it cheaper at $6.99US from Hong Kong where as I bought it before from ee-beauty on eBay and I paid $9.85US from China

Will see if there is any differences between this one and the one I have now.

Apart from a few quality issues I'm still pretty happy with the case for the price I paid and if this new case is just as good then it would be even better at $7

One thing I forgot to mention in my last post is

When I removed the case from my phone after it being on there for a few weeks I was very surprised I didn't find any dust or anything behind the case.

With the case I was using before and many others I've used on previous phones. The case normally collects dusts between it and the phone so I was very surprised to find absolutely nothing behind there.

also bought one of these fake spigen case after having used my trident kraken for a while. getting sick of how big it is, but at the same time it saved my phone more than a dozen times from high impact falls.

it was i think 6.50 from the link op provided? at ali express

shipped out on apr 7th, jsut got here yesterday so apr 26. took i think 2 days before it was shipped out. in total about 3 weeks delivery time to toronto canada.

they really went all out with this fake case in terms of packaging. came in this really unnecessary bulky hard clear plastic box and i think they tried really hard imitating the original packaging with the stickers and everything.

the case itself is fine, looks good, does the job. pleasantly surprised by the raised lips; more prominent than i thought so protection wise it's not bad. the soft 'silicone' (for the lack of the better word) feels better than your regular silicone case. more smooth and feels less sticky, therefore i think it won't catch as much dust and linen. i have a feeling tho the plastic rim that goes around the case will snap after one drop. and over time i can foresee the plastic rim becoming loose.

anyways, all in all, good buy for a 6 dollars case that looks great.
