update** i have removed this case from my phone. First it adds too much bulk and does not look good IMO. It needs to be thinner. Reason number 2 is i could not get a GPS lock, i tried for a long time, i could only find 1 satellite and that was for a short time then it vanished. This is a perfect case for someone who does not need GPS and has big hands and doesnt mind bulk. The signal for everything else is good and i had no dropped calls or any audio issues with the noise cancelation mic. It adds a nice solid feel and beautiful buttons but i wish it was thinner and didnt kill GPS.


I do not need it so if anyone wants mine and wants faster shipping let me know. Its like new and has everything (tools and extra screws)

Yep, already had to take back an aluminum case because it blocked my GPS signal. SGP Neo is almost the exact same case as this but plastic. I love mine, and it came with a steinhall screeny.

Alright just got mine and I'm really liking it. I think I might snag an aluminum back to help protect the camera though.

Got mine and tried it on, but too bulky for my taste. I'm sticking with my Casemate case. Comes with the tool and two extra screws. Only put it on and then took it off so it is still like new.

PM me if you want mine. I'm in Michigan so save yourself a few bucks and a lot less time for shipping.

Thanks, Bill

it is a beautiful case and adds a good amount of weight, both giving it a more premium feel...overall i'm happy and will suggest it to anyone. with the only con being that some headphones may not fit, all other you can easily get over. i bought the silver one and mixed it with a blue brushed aluminum textured skin from skinit.com, and it looks sexy haha

i like it, but if you want a small case that you'll barely notice, i'd choose a different case

Can you please post some pics or a video of it? Thanks.

    If you guys remember the all aluminum bumper available on ebay for $65? well the silver one is down to a much more palatable $18. just ordered mine and it should be in in a week are two. unfortunately the black one is still $65. links are below.

    EDIT:
    ok so i've had the case for a couple weeks and have had time to thoroughly examine it...
    IMO it is a beautiful case, it does make the phone larger much like every other case. at first it does feel larger because it has a wider girth than most other cases. you will get people to comment saying "thats a big phone" it happens alot lol
    the edges near the screen are actually a little sharp, the company didn't smooth the edges very well. its not gonna cut you or anything like that but it is noticible for the first few days, much like its size. another con is that many 3.5mm headphone cable don't fit well if they are very wide cables...the headphones i use and the aux cord in my car fit without a problem but the one in my mom's car (tape to 3.5mm adapter) does not fit, nor does the one i use to play music on my home theatre system.

    Did you guys get the tools to take it apart? I just got the case but no way to take the screws out.
