[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] biggO83:
I just got my case (from e-bay) 3 days ago. When I ordered this case 3 weeks ago, there were little to no reviews of this case. I was already familiar with this (kind of case) as I owned an iPhone 5 prior to buying my note 3. I had an aluminum generic Lunatic Taktik which this case is based off of. I can tell you that this case is better made than that. This case is Great quality. They really took their time and paid attention to detail on this case. Every port or hole is covered with some type of film to avoid dust from getting in. They even have seals around any exposed part of the phone to avoid splash of water of dust from getting in This case feels great! I like bulky cases and this is the best by far. But it has way too many flaws more than the iphone 5 case.

1.Loss of data signal. At work I have 4G, but I have not been able to get this signal with the case on. I have been forced to use 3G.

2. Loss of Wi-Fi. At home I notice when I am a few rooms away from my wireless router I often lose signal strength and seems to be weaker than with the case off

3. The worst of it Loss of GPS. I use my note 3 to give me directions when I am driving. The GPS on this is almost nonexistent. This is the biggest bummer for me as I really need on this.

4. S Pen. You must remove the S Pen before installing this case. You can then put the S pen in the phone, but be careful not to push it all the way in as you will not be able to get it back out. The downside to this is that you will always have an icon on letting you know the spen is not in the slot because it won’t be all the way in.

5. Screen, you must remove any screen protector on your phone to keep it from having oil slick affect. This upset me because I had a Glass Spegin screen protector on and ended up removing it for this case. Not too happy about this because if/when I decide to put my speign back on, it will most likely have dust particles stuck to it.

6. The built-in screen protector does not have ant-smudge coating on it. I know because I used a glass screen protector

on my note 3 prior to putting this case on and it did not collect as much finger print marks as this built in screen. The built-in protector appears to be tempered glass, but I highly doubt this this is true Gorilla Glass. I have to keep cleaning the screen.

From all these flaws I can tell you that this case is well made and feels like it will last. I really want to like this case, but I can’t use my phone with it on. I already own a otterbox defender and I truly prefer the workmanship of this Love Mei case over the Otterbox, however again I can’t get past all the drawbacks of this case. It’s a beautiful case, but I can’t seem to feasibly use my phone everyday with it on. I am going to reluctantly remove this work of art off my phone. I will still keep this case as I really do like it and perhaps one day find myself in a situation where I will need this case. The true main reason why I have to remove this case is the loss of GPS signal. I can live with having lower data signal and WiFi because ultimately I still have a signal and can use my phone. But if I am driving around and lost, I need to have GPS. I am not going to pull over and unscrew this case each time I need GPS.

If anyone can find a trick to fixing the GPS issue, please let me know and I will happily put this bad boy back on.
