Good morning everybody.
So about a month ago (20 February) I ordered an 'LG G3 Aluminium metal bumper' from seller galaxyshoppingcn on eBay.co.uk. At a purchase price of £6, I thought nothing much could be lost here.
So after a very long shipping time of just under a month from China (arrived 12 March), I took it out of its box. Immediately I noticed how flimsy the bumper itself was. Rather than deciding against using it, I decided to fit it to my G3 which has a black titanium dbrand skin affixed to the back and Nilkin tempered glass screen protector on the front. As I put it on, it started to puncture the screen protector, forming a chip on the bottom left corner of the screen protector and a hairline crack extending from that right to the top right where a similar chip had formed.
Consequently I removed this glass screen protector and replaced it with a plastic one. The bumper still would not fit. I had to remove the thin protective bits of paper from along the inside of the bumper and I finally got it to fit. Much to my disappointment however, I could still see the deformation of the bumper; the top and right gold edges of my G3 were still visible with the bumper on, i.e. it was bent outwards at these points. I continued to use it, but my annoyances continued to grow. My charger would not fit in the small port hole provided in the bumper, and neither would my headphones. This led me to remove the bumper and apply a new glass screen protector.
What annoyed me the most is that it did not just cost me £6, it cost me the additional £10 I had to spend on a new glass screen protector. If it had not been there the first time, I reckon that it would have punctured the screen itself, or at least have given it a deep scratch. I threw this piece of garbage out. I advise you to stay clear of these. Buy cases from reputable sellers and companies.
Just a heads up
