Not what I expected
I originally ordered this case from Spigen because it was the thinnest case available. I got the case and was happy with it. About a month goes by and the plastic breaks where the charger slot it. Not Spigens fault. I was kind of forcing a charger that was slightly larger than the slot in the case. I ordered the replacement shell from Amazon. The said it would take 4 days to get the case, it came in 2. I ordered a direct replacement, something better came. Looks like Spigen reinforced the old design since I bought my original case. I got the updated plastic shell. Very happy with my case and the fact that Spigen decided to start making replacement shells for it. For a while, rumors were floating around that they might not but with the popularity of the case, looks like it's worth it to them to make the replacement. I will recommend this case to anyone who wants a slim protective case. It ain't no otter box. But then again, I have no need to protect my phone from a direct blow from a sledge hammer.

Beautiful and fragile.
This is a great, minimalistic design, and I've gotten numerous compliments. The only thing that bothers me is that because the material is a thin, fragile plastic border, it doesn't last very long. This was actually my second time purchasing this, and I already have a small crack near the USB/battery charger port.But then again, I'm a sucker for nice looking things and probably will end up buying another one if it totally breaks.

Good case, bad design, broke again
I bought this as a replacement band for a case I already owned where the orginal band broke. These bands are flimsy but once on its rubber seat actually make a pretty nice case. Be advised however that you must use the properly shaped charger for the shape of the band. It's a bit of a pain and pulling it off an on to use a different charger and leads to premature wear.This band broke a few months later just like the first one. Like I said before, it's not entirely the fault of the band but more of a flaw in the design of the system. Additionally, it really seems like a rip-off to spend nearly $10 on a flimsy plastic part but I suppose it's cheaper than fixing/replacing a broken phone.

Love this case
Love this case. I'm a klutz and drop my phone at least once a day, sometimes glass side down! This has worked every time!! I bought this silver color as a replacement to try something new with my white s4, but it looked funny. My husband now uses it on his grey s4 and it looks awesome. I wish they did offer more colors, but it protects and that's all that matters.

Don't Buy - The Metal Near the USB Connection Consistently Cracks
I have now bought three of these case;, I love the look, style and how slim but, unfortunately every one of them have cracked in the same place, right under the USB charging port. At first I thought it was because I occasionally dropped my phone, nothing big but, then my third one with no drops of any kind and it again is cracked. I do not know if there's a manufacture defect or what but, I would be very cautious about buying this product until the manufacture addresses the problem.Also, bought one of the cases for a friend and guess what, his also cracked!I am now looking for an alternative case :-)

Pricing is a bit steep for a brittle replacement.
To be fair, I like the design of this case protector, and, honestly, I would've given four stars, but it's inability to forgive users for ever wanting to take the phone out of the case, well, I just can't do that. Unfortunately, I had to replace this piece of plastic for $10 out of the fact that it broke on my initial purchase of the case (the silicone and plastic together). And so, this review is actually for the replacement.When I first received it, I had noticed it wasn't an exact fit. Just ever so slightly off, and putting the band in place caused the silicone to bend a bit outward. Not a huge deal, but it no longer fit snugly around the camera. That issue pales in comparison to the other flaw that comes moreso from the design of the plastic band. It breaks, easily. Not from dropping it and not from knocking it into something (I actually did both, accidentally, with no damage; so I guess you could say it does what it needs to) . But when it did break, both times, it was due to the fact that I had decided to take my phone out of the case; be it for a battery pull or to connect with a headphone jack (only allows small, less-girthy straight connectors, this case will not allow for right-angled 3.5MM audio jacks, period). While the band is quite sturdy around the phone when the case is employed (see dropped/knocked into stuff), it's fairly fragile during the removal process (FYI, do not remove the plastic from the silicone to release your phone; you have to remove them at the same time). And in both cases (this is pun) with this band breaking, it was at the microUSB/charging port section of the band. Same spot, actually. Having just purchased it in July '14, I'm loathe to purchase another replacement just to endure another break so soon.On a somewhat related note, the case has a nasty habit of ripping the back battery panel of your phone in the process of removing your phone as well. Definitely annoying, and slightly concerning.That said, Spigen's got decent, quality items, but I'm guessing this one is a bit of a design flaw as I'm sure they don't want these things breaking by trying to remove the phone from the case. At $10 a piece, however, I would imagine not too many people would be return customers for this item a 2nd time as most cases are not much more expensive than that. In fact, their other case model for this phone appears to be a bit more sturdy, despite it not carrying the blocky shape that I so enjoy on this case.

Great product with a slight flaw
I love the look and design, but it breaks way too easy (lasted about two months). The bit of plastic where the charger usually connects is pretty thin thus breaks easily. Other than that works great and does the intended job of protecting my phone. Not sure of purchasing another though.

... nur die Bezeichnung stimmt nicht
Bin mit der Verarbeitung sehr zufrieden. Der alte Rahmen war mir im Bereich der USB-Anschluß-Aussparung aufgrund einer ungeschickten Umgangsweise gebrochen. Der neue Rahmen ist an dieser Stelle einen tick stärker ausgelegt, würde ich sagen. Der Rahmen passt ansonsten perfekt auf die alte Silikonhülle. Spigen halt!Das Produkt wird in der Anzeige fälschlicherweise als "Satin Silver" beschrieben. Ist es aber nicht! Geliefert wird ein Rahmen in "Infinity White". Im Grunde genommen erkennt man die Farbe auf dem Foto auch als weiß und nicht als silber. Wer sich jedoch nur nach den lettern richtet, wird enttäuscht sein, weil er eben nicht silber geliefert bekommt.Achtung! Die Artikelbezeichnung ist irreführend!Halbe Punkte kann man nicht abziehen, daher volle Punktzahl. Ich wollte weiß, habe mich nach dem Foto gerichtet - und habe weiß erhalten. Alles gut.

Hält nicht viel länger!
Ein Monat in gebrauch und schon fängt auch diese Hülle an zu brechen...auf wieder an dem Ladeanschluss.Sieht optisch stabiler aus, aber materialtechnisch wohl nicht viel besser als die standart Schale

Brauchte Ersatz
Habe mir die komplette Neo Hybrid Hülle für das S4 geholt.Allerdings war nach 5 Monaten der Rahmen an Kopfhörerbuchse und USB Verbindung gebrochen.Diesen Ersatz Rahmen bestellt. Dieser ist besser verarbeitet und an der Unterseite etwas verstärkt worden.Passgenauigkeit 100%Bisher keine Probleme
F**L
Toller Ersatz
Die Artikelbeschreibung ist falsch, der Ersatzrahmen wird wie auf dem Photo abgebildet in infinity white geliefert. Im Vergleich zum Rahmen der mit dem Case dabei war, ist die Stelle um die USB-Buchse herum verstärkt worden.

Davvero bella
ho comprato questo Bumper per avere la possibilità di variare il color della mia cover.Per questo ho comprato la versione Gialla, Rossa e BiancaDevo dire che è davvero un gran bell'artico, aderisce perfettamente all'altro pezzo di cover della Spigen (per intenderci il guscio nero che ricopre il retro e tutto intorno il cell, senza di quello è inutile comprare questi bumper colorati)-, i tasti laterale rispondo alla perfezione, l'unica pecca (se così la possiamo chiamare) è che il foro per ricaricare il cell è della misura solo per il carica batterie originale, mentre quelli commerciali hanno la plastica che ricopre il jack di dimensioni più grandi e quindi non entra nella fessura, e si deve quindi sfilare questa cover colorata con il pericolo di romperla, proprio all'altezza del buco per il caricabatterie (come è successo a me), e per questo ho fatto scorta di queste cover anche perchè stanno diventando introvabili.Una nota da 10 e lode come sempre per amazon per la consegna... errivati con 2 gg di anticipo rispetto a quanto indicato nella mail di avvenuta spedizione.Una nota positiva anche per la società venditrice GIGABUE, serie e precisa.
