    Spigen makes great cases, but they have become so expensive in recent years…

    • +22

      ^^ This, ESR is what ive switched to, gives equal protection it feels and still no broken screens.

      • +1

        I've moved from Spigen to Supcase. Also equal protection. I actually had Spigen not protect the side of my s22 ultra. Very thin compared to supcase

        • Where do I find supcase what to compare

      • +2

        I can vouch for ESR. My stash stand case is still going strong 8 months in, and their magnets are actually insanely good. Personally, I think ESR is a bit better than Spigen nowadays at a fraction of the cost.

        • +1

          My last ESR case lasted 4 years before it started to break down. Current ESR case still going strong for 2 years. Same phone that's been dropped hundreds of times during those 6 years and no damage whatsoever in either case.

      • +1

        I used to swear by Spigen, but I bought this case and it's offers so much protection and has such a strong magnet. That and the ESR Hybrid iPad cases (magnetic flip case but has a separate magnetic iPad case) are my constant go-to cases for iPads.

        • +1

          ESR is the new Spigen. Pitty they don't make cases for more brands, like OnePlus or Pixel.

      • Where do you buy them from?

        • Amazon

      Agreed, was looking for a screen protector for Switch 2 and they want $64.99! (Reduced from $79.99! 🤣)

        screen protector for Switch 2

        Just get the amFilm on Amazon for ~$15 for a 2/3 pack.

        • +1

          I got exactly this, so easy to get a perfect install.

        • Still a bit expensive what about Aliexpress?

          • @neonlight: Probably a couple $ cheaper from AliExpress. However the few times I've ordered screen protector from AliExpress..they did not survive shipping (full return though).

      • I’m still a bit of a Spigen loyalist, but yes this price shocked me - thought they must be taking the piss. I did the same as suggested below and got amFilm from Amazon - two pack with installation/alignment kit for $15 and it was very easy to install.

      • I mean, $34 for a cellphone camera lens protector that is just a fraction of the size of a switch 2 screen is ridiculous.

      Yup, they've been a no brainer purchase when I get a new phone for 10+ years but now the prices are pushing me to look for alternatives.

    • I had bad experience with Spigen. I got one of their Pixel 5 cases and it become loose in a few months (you could feel the phone moving forward and backward freely inside the case). Asked for a replacement and they did (great customer service), but the second case was no different. Even $2 clear silicon cases sold at AliExpress don't do that.

  • +1

    I just got my pixel case from these guys dam.

    • Ditto here and a camera protector ;)

      • ffs, same, ordered 2 days ago.

  • Thanks OP, I was eyeing off the Spigen C1 iPhone cases last night.

  • I stopped buying Spigen cases in recent years. Too many alternatives for much lower prices these days.

    • I see absolutely no difference between spigen and $4 aliexpress.

  • Spigen is like Apple nowadays

  • +4

    To the OP. I have been buying samsung spigen cases every year for over a decade. They started off at $5 delivered at ebay and for the first time recently i bought a no name case (quality is almost identical also) for my S25 as i had a shock at the current $47 price. Sales have clearly collapsed on ebay also as you can see units sold.

    Seriously drop your prices by at least 50 - 70% on ebay and watch all your loyal customers come back. There is no justification for increasing prices from $5 to $47 in just over a decade.

      OP isn't associated, so they don't care.

  • +2

    Strongly agreed with the rest. Spigen was my go to, but it has become too ridiculously expensive. With so many options out there, charging $70+ for screen protector is just insane. Breaking a few of those protectors can change myself a new screen so to speak.

    • +5

      charging $70+ for screen protector is just insane

      But to be honest, I find their screen protectors are better than those generics found on eBay or Amazon. Quality control better and has actual oleophobic coating.

  • Thanks, ordered a case for my new p8 5 days ago from Amazon and still hasn't been shipped. Cancelled and ordered here for a few bucks less

  • Coped the spigen version of a Milanese Loop for my Apple Watch for $28. Not a bad deal, quality depending.

    the Auto/Tesla area got my curiousity.
    honestly I thought this kind of thing is dumb (I got targeted with all these videos on youtube after I tapped on the "0% lease" video. everyone is leasing EV's and then throwing away stuff like floor mats and replacing it with all this Temu stuff - yeah you need to buy a bunch of unnecessary accessories to increase the WEIGHT of your EV - I thought EV's were about saving the planet not throwing perfectly new stuff into the trash and making sure you get less range).
    Spigen seems to make stuff for them that might be higher quality but they also barely make sense to me.

    the "wireless charge" add on cover. um yeah let's create even more distance between the phone and the charger. everyone who knows about wireless charging knows if you increase the distance even a little bit (like a thicker tough case), more heat is produced and you get less charge. 😂

    then the seat belt holder. 2 cheap pieces of plastic. um yeah let's get those safety seatbelts rubbing on those all the time so it wears away the edges of the seatbelts. 🤣

    also the secret box "insert" for the armrest is dumb. I've been in a tesla and there is space up there in the armrest so you can fit bigger items below. if you fill that space, all of sudden your armrest won't close with whatever larger item you keep in there.

    • did two users seriously get triggered by the use of the word tesla?? 🤣

      otherwise why no pointing out any of the 3 items I mentioned are terrible is actually, good??!

    These guys are a rip!

  • Anyone have recs for leather magsafe cases for iphone 12 mini? Looking for one with strong magnets to use with car phone mounts

  • Need a new phone case but it comes to $18. Is this quality so amazing I should choose this over the usual stuff from eBay at 1/3 of the price?

    • +1

      $18 for a Spigen case is a no brainer and I'd definitely go for it over random eBay stuff at that price. If you aren't looking at a Spigen case then no idea.

  • Same with the rest, I like Spigen cases and have been buying them for a while from these guys now, but they're getting so expensive that I might reconsider my next purchase at this rate.
