Hey bro. sup?
How's your screen protector??? any scratches yet???
I got mine today :)
Nope but it's got a Crack at the very edge of the screen and chippings. I placed in a carry bag in rush with some sharp metal inside by accident and I realized it was sharp enough to poke the screen and cause a small Crack. Luckily the actual screen is safe. I don't know whether to be disappointed that it cracked easily or happy that it protected the actual screen. But either way I made another order for Nillkin glass along with a fake Nexus 5 official bumper case and one of those 0.3mm slim cases.

Did you apply yours yet? And how did you find it?

yea I did right away.
Sad to hear that... :(
Is it that fragile?? Btw so far I feel it's not that smooth, I loved the buttery feel of the original screen. I use a UAG cover which has all the sides covered with a raised lip on the screen, this glass is just for some added protection. You did the right thing ordering a case.

Aliexpress is the best. Ordered about 30 things on the site in the last month. Got a beautiful Nillkin hard case in white and a Spigen Neo Hybrid for $4. Also got a leather beautiful Nexus 7 case which I love.

I bought my case from there. Shipping took a while (it was coming from China). They waited a long time to ship the case and the tracking was pretty bad, I didn't know where my order was the whole time. Obviously experiences differ based on the seller.

Did you use track17.net ?
It is awesome, right from the shipping till it gets delivered, you shall know everything. China Mail to Empost.
In my case, I had to pick it up, but it still stated that message in the status.

I started using AliExpress about 1 month ago. So far, I am pretty satisfied with my purchases. However I would set your expectations before buying anything from those stores.

1st Order: 2 x Qi Chargers for $20 . It took about 2-3 weeks for them to arrive. They get very hot when charging.
2nd Order: Nillkin White Case ($6) Not sure if real or fake. Looks very real, but white color is fading away.
3rd Order: Fake Spigen Slim Armor ($4). Received in less than 2 weeks. Fake, bad quality. Sharp edges and corners. (Huge case)
4th Order: Fake Spigen Neo Hybris ($3). Have not received this yet. It should arrive in another week.

The reason why I bought the cases, is to have a feel for how I would like them. In the past I have bought the expensive cases and never liked them. Too thick, big, glossy, etc. So this is my way of "TESTING" the cases before I buy the real ones.

So far my favorite case for the Nexus 5 has been the cheap $2 sand case from ebay.

I personally like the neo hybrid, but bro the fake ones are not even close to the real ones in terms of quality and shock absorption. But again for $4 a case, who wouldn't want one. But I went with original UAG case + glass screen protector to have my phone completely covered in case of an accident

I'm liking the Official Nexus 5 bumper case. Its simple and has modest protection and not to mention the nexus logo in the back. I didn't wanna pay a hefty 30buks for the original one so I ordered a fake one for about 10buks. From the rating section a lot of people reported that there's barely any difference in quality between the genuine and fake, same feel, material and cutouts. Let's see.

How is the quality?

Received it on Monday. Impressed by how fast they can ship this. Other places takes 3-4 weeks.

Anyhow for $3.99 the quality is better than I expected. You can tell it's not perfect if you really look for defects. So for the money it's great!!. Let's see how long this last.

Bpught one of the $12.50 Wireless Chargers from AliExpress on April 10th via Chinese Postal. Received it April 21st. A LOT faster than what I expected. Their website told me 5-10 days shipping and I think another 5-10 shipping and it was finished in 10.5D. . . bought it at like 6P on the 10th. Came US Postal in a Styrofoam box taped ALL sorts of up LoL but was secure inside and bubble wrapped. Works well, just ensure if you purchase one to read the specs and look at what kind of and how powerful your power brick can be to ensure maximum performance as mine didn't come with a brick.
Edit: By the way, cane from Shenzen to Fort Myers, Fl.

Yeah, I ordered a couple "Official" bumper cases from ebay for about $9 each. I saw a video on youtube about the replica cases from china, and they said quality was very good. Plus, you can get colors that aren't available through google.

As far as aliexpress, they seem to have good prices for most things. But it's probably a good idea to check a couple different sites to find the cheapest.

How is this fake Spigen Neo Hybrid holding out after a week? You still like it and would recommend?
I suppose you like it prefer it over the Slim Armor?

thanks

In my opinion aliexpress is one of the best place to do shopping. I've ordered all kind of stuff; boxers, wallets, headphones, mouses, memory cards etc... They have very good customer service. Only shipping time is long, 3-4 weeks to Finland.

However, i ordered this:Wallet Case For LG Google Nexus 5 E980 D820 D821 Case Flip Leather Cover YXF03731 _ 15% OFF for 2PCS! to my nexus 5, and it's excellent! I have to admit, one of the best wallet cases what i've ever used. Cheap, good condition, good-looking, handy... I just love it. :victory:

Anyone have ordered this: NILLKIN screen protector Lot! Matte OR Super clear HD anti-fingerprint protective film for LG Nexus 5 ? I think this will be my next order, so if there's someone who's using this, i would like to know what you're thinking about it. :confused: .

ps. Sorry for not using links, i just have too few messages.. :cyclops:

What happens if you miss the delivery? I checked my tracking number and it states that the lastest update from 2 days ago is "attempted delivery".

It was sent to my work place, but its closed on Saturday, so I'm not sure who grabbed the piece of paper that was left on the front door. Kind of at a loss right now.

I'm not 100% sure, but all what i've ordered came to closest post-office. So, if you know which post-office holds your packet, i think you should go there and ask if it's possible to get the package. Show your ID and i think you're able to get the package. ;)

Great idea!

Edit: Just received the package! The receptionist at my job just handed it to me. So coincidental.

So far it's been good. As I said for the price it's great. I just noticed today that the buttons are white plastic. The original Spigen case I think are made of metal. Had no idea until I checked the pictures. :laugh: The buttons still feel OK though.
