SPIGEN SGP Tough Armor Protective Case

Still no package. Supposedly shipped a week ago today. Getting irritated with them. At least it appears the case is worth it, assuming it ever shows up.
 
how is the glas.t front cover w/o the home button insert with this case? Does the fingerprint scanner still work? is there a big indent? Any pics? :) If I get the Tough Armor protection kit, it comes w/ a glas.t and the ultra crystal screen protector.

I have a gold 5s arriving today that will be either in a tough case or the defender.

Members have posted elsewhere on the forum that the Glass T works fine with the 5S

I just got the kit in the mail for my 5S; the glas.t works perfectly with the fingerprint scanner! Here are some pictures:

Just got my Tough Armor in the mail. It's an amazing case. Only two gripes. First, the "Smooth Black" back plate shows fingerprints pretty easily. So I'm going to return it and get a "Satin Silver". Second, if they had used the button design from the Slim Armor on the Tough Armor it would have been the perfect case. Nothing wrong with the Tough Armor buttons but I liked the Slim Armor buttons better. Buy this case!

I just ordered the silver last night for the same reason. If it's like the silver on the Slim Armor it will match the Space Grey perfectly.

Thanks. I'll give it one more day and then complain. Ordered on the 16th late at night, didn't ship until the 18th, shipping info didn't show up on USPS site until the 19th, and since then it just says 'shipping info received' with no details. And still no package.

You're seriously going to complain about that? It's the USPS. If you wanted it fast with a guaranteed delivery date you should have purchased faster service.

I ordered from Sticker Boy via free shipping with USPS on the same day and got it in 3 days from the date I ordered, not 9+. The bigger issue is that I've contacted Spigen with a question and it's been a couple of days with no response. They also showed on their website that they were processing my card for 2 days and didn't generate an order. There are several problems.
 
I ordered it from Amazon with free two day shipping and it actually arrived a day early, and they had the cases about 6 dollars cheaper than MSRP too.

Of course I'm a prime member, but if you're not it's not too hard to find access to a free trial.
 
Black tough armor with glas.tr ordered from Amazon. It'll be here tomorrow. :). Love amazon prime one day shipping. I'll probably grab the gold tough armor when it comes in stock as well. Thanks everyone!!

Hated the case and returned it immediately.

The sleep/wake button was so unresponsive I couldn't believe it. Switched back to the slim armor.

This has me staying away. I bought 3 different cases from them for my galaxy s3 a while back and NONE of them worked with the volume rocker. I want to buy one of their cases again because they look slick but I'm not getting burned again.
 
I'm loving my tough armor with my silver 5s!!
The only thing I'm not crazy about is the hole in the back for the apple logo but I put a back protector on it so.
Got it from amazon $5-$6 off retail (^_^)
 
Monoprice lightning to USB cable fitment

Does anyone know if Monoprice lightning to USB cables fits the 5s with the
Tough Armor case on the phone. I have a Magpul case and the Monoprice cable connector is much bigger than the hole and does not fit with the case on the phone.
