alucine · Apr 23, 2014

My original spigen case has a bad quality, no is a premium case, purchased in novembrer in official seller in amazon, and after months a use this a pictures !!!

Red bumper not is RED is white, only is red a paint, all part is white with RED paint.

This a case of 30$, original, but not premium.

I send one email to spigen suppot and say, that only has 90 days of replacement.

Please know that you are out of your 90 day replacement warranty.

I have reviewed your photos, and there seems to be some nicks.
As this is cosmetic damage, this is not covered under our warranty.

This a pictures of original spigen neo hybrid RED after 6 months of use.

I have slate blue and black. The black one has a cheap shinny plastic. Blue has black patches on its back and original color has ripped off in center of it.

Now for my note 3 I have thought I will order fineday tempered glass back cover.

Um, OP, just fyi, what spigen said is true. The whiye spots in the pictures you posted are cosmetic damage from usage. So you can't expect your warranty to hold good there.

My request is that i buy a bumper red, will be a bumper red, not is a bumper paint of red color, with a white plastic part, only this.

Is very dificult to a premium case ?

Spigen neo hybrid is like a chinnese case, but more expensive.

Next time i will be a buy a chinnese/pirate/noofficial case of spigen.

You damaged it and find that it's not red all the way through, and now you want them to replace it?

Sorry dude. That's just not realistic.

Sorry but not is damaged, is only light usage of a case.

If spigen make a real nice bumper no a paint bumper will be another history.

Spigen say to me that not is possible to replace, ok, no problem, for me product spigen has a poor quality.

This post is to announce as will the SPIGEN cases in a few months, and customer know that is a bad purchase.

Seems like a cheap case to be painted. This is why I only use seidio cases. I know if it gets scratched, I won't have to worry about it changing to a different color. Dude your case looks ghetto and ratchet now lol throw that sucka in the dumpster

Dude, what exactly do you mean light usage? I have three slim armors in white, black and red and all of them are fine and have gone through quite a few drops and tumbles too.
And honestly, you're not making much of a case for youself befpre proclaiming that spigen cases are of bad quality. I've been using spigen cases since the iphone 5 and their cases seem to be worth the premium they charge in terms of durability and looks.

I also ordered a silver neo hybrid for my note 3, it looks pretty stylish but I will admit that it's not worth the money. The back cover's material feels cheap and isn't grippy at all, and the button covers are loose, they even make noise if I shake the phone.
It will probably protect the phone well in time, but it's definitely not worth the premium price.

Had mine for two months ...still perfect. Honestly wear and tear are going to happen. Besides, how are they going to make money if the product doesn't eventually deteriorate?

flipq88 · Apr 24, 2014

I have the silver one. Love it. But only use it when I go out. Always get compliments on it. Hell, a lot of people have asked me what phone I had because they thought the case was the phone.

Yes, please, upload your pictures !!!

The problem not is all color, black, blue and white after normal usage not is bad.

I know more red case and yellow with the same problem, may be more colors with the same problem, after several months of normal usage.

bertmansk · Apr 25, 2014

The issue here is not that fact that it has taken some wear, but the fact that it wore out and is turning a different color.

The problem is they didn't use colored plastic, but rather molded a bunch of white ones and colored them. I think if you're gonna spend 30 bucks on a case (and not go the $5 copy route), it shouldn't change color in just 3 or 4 months of regular use. He clearly didn't even drop it.

They need to mold the shells in different colored plastics, not paint white ones.

edit* I see OP had it for 6 months. My argument still stands - they shouldn't be painted.

xdm9mm · Apr 26, 2014

Yes I agree that the plastic surround should be colored plastic and not just painted so even if it gets worn out, it will still be the same color not like Oreo!:laugh:

I was thinking of buying this case or the slim armor but I think I will just buy the knock off ones.
