(To Mod/admin, We have talked to the marketing guy for this thread, and got approved, please don't delete)

It is Karl from Caseborne by ArmadilloTek Inc.
I'm a guy from Texas with a passion for creating the best-rugged phone case. After years of success with our beloved Vanguard case, I took a risk and redesigned it to make it even better. I focused on making it more modern and simple while providing the crazy rugged protection you need. The result? A case that's 20% lighter and thinner but just as tough as ever.

Despite creating one of the best-rugged cases out there, not many people know about us. It takes a lot of money and marketing skills to break through in this competitive market.
There are many brands that brag about how durable their cases are, but neither of them shows you anything.
I don't have money or marketing skills, all I can do is smash my phone in my cases.
Hopefully, people will give us their business.

One More Thing

I understand someone hates to use cases, so I created another brand www.thinborne.com, which is super thin and made of aramid fiber. 0nly 0.03 inches thick and 0.46 oz!
If you guys know about latercase or Pitaka, yes, we are better!
As we do a 3-round quality check on every single case, and we are a U.S. small business with families living in Texas!

Not a big fan of rugged cases, but would love to try and review the thinborne case

EDIT: Just read that thinborne case testing is US Only, unfortunately not EU

This sticky is as close to spam as it gets. They pulled off the same thing with the S22U release. Offered a few free cases and then let the thread run long after they gave away those cases. That gave false hope to many and free advertising for Caseborne.
And why is this a sticky? This should be an accessory topic.

I would like to give it a try. I would give the case a good workout, as I do Industrial Maintenance. So, im constantly working in and on machinery and in need of a good case that will protect the S23 Ultra

If it's not too late, I'd like to join the program as well - my Note 10+ in Spigen case fell on concrete 2 weeks ago and the back of the phone is broken now, so I've decided to bite the bullet and get S23U to finally upgrade (still crying because of no SD Card slot on new Galaxies), so just signed up and looking for additional info.

I just went through the hoops to get this and got the email on how to receive my "free" case and this is COMPLETELY against Amazon's ToS by buying an item in exchange for a review and receiving your money back outside of Amazon. This is also how scammers get a lot of good reviews on Amazon by giving crap away for a good review. Then switch the listing to something completely different and have a ton of good reviews.
The instructions make clear that they are interested in feedback given to them, *not* reviews. Amazon also allows reviews for free product as long as it's disclosed by the seller. Asking for the order number could be to ensure that the order is marked as such.

The only time that Amazon allows for a free product like that is if the refund is given through Amazon this is explicitly stated that the refund is outside of Amazon
Well again, the instructions don't say anything about wanting reviews, they want feedback.

"We are not interested in reviews, just want to learn your thoughts about our new product lines."

No Amazon terms violation.

@hand-filer Just for your information. As this thread's title clearly indicates it's a thread of one of the authorised sponsors of this private website; a reason why this thread also has been stuck in this forum.
If you require more information, please do not hesitate to contact me privately. I'm also happy to bring you in contact with our advertisement department if you intend to promote your products on XDA and to post at prominent locations.
I sell things on Amazon as well and I just spoke with customer support for sellers and ask them about this even without asking for a review this is against their terms of service If it wasn't for the personal information shared between me and the chat rep I would post the screenshots here saying as much
@spart0n I'd appreciate if you review the XDA Forum Rules - at the moment with emphasis on rule no. 15 and to refrain from off-topic posts in future. Thanks for your cooperation. I'm going to contact you privately in a few minutes.

I think this falls in a loop-hole. TECHNICALLY, there is NO REFUND being given at all. You put the items in your cart, send them the information (totals) and they FUND YOU BEFORE YOU BUY, so there is no refund, so to speak.

The Order ID is to make sure you use the funds provided to order and they can tell if you asked for a refund with your order number and then talk to you about getting their money back.

I have done this deal several times for various phones and have never had an issue, so this is not SPAM as it is a Legit ask from someone, who obviously, went through the proper process with XDA to post this and offer this to their users.

I was hoping the cases would arrive today (Amazon states that it should be here by 9pm, but it is still in SHIPPED status and not Out for Delivery), but more likely will arrive tomorrow and I will give these a serious look and provide the feedback they asked for in return for the free cases.

    Be careful both of you @wolfu11 @hand-filer I complained at the beginning and was told it was off topic to complain in the thread by a mod. To complain you have to PM the marketing team on xda. Now I hope I don't get in trouble again.

    Jings, look at all the desperate pleas for freebies....biggest thread on here says it all
    There is nothing wrong with wanting freebies. If it's offered and you manage to get one, then all good. I actually use this case as my daily driver and I love it. The protection is great, the feel is good and easy to hold. Perfect? No, not for everyone, but it works for me and I don't see the need to use anything else (even though I have a few other cases that I did pay for and feel that this one gives me the most piece of mind).

    I'll just stick with Otterbox Defender, I know they work!

    Otterbox are grossly overpriced. The injection mold tooling looks like 1970's technology and consequently so does the product.

    Thank you, Karl, for modifying the thread direction -- and thank you to everyone who messaged me.

    We appreciate your great cases, the coupon codes, and your continued support of our community!

    I've used this one before and it leaves a permanent imprint on the glass on the back of your phone. This happened with my s21 Ultra. Once that happened I promised myself I'd never use these cases again. A case should not damage your phone.

    All of my cases arrived today! I have the one from this offer thread and also my Unicorn Beetle case.

    I will be sure to provide feedback/reviews once I get the phone to put into the cases, but I can tell you I will have a VERY hard time deciding on which one will be my daily driver and which will be for a spare.

    I am looking for local people that want these other 2 cases (for free since that is how I got them) that will give feedback for them too. :) I am sure I have friends that are getting the S23 and S23+.
