Grrr. I *hate* geo-restrictions.

The Spigen Rugged Armor case seems to be the one that (often) best reviewed for many phones, so I decided to get that one for the new phone.

Lowest price in the Netherlands: €21.95 (including shipping)
Price through E-Bay: 19.95 (including shipping)
Price in Germany and the UK (Amazon.de/co.uk): €8.99 (free shipping)

The case from Amazon won't ship to the Netherlands!!11

Why are Amazon.de/co.uk mostly SO MUCH CHEAPER than any option I have in the Netherlands?! I buy half my stuff from there, just because it often saves me 25-50% (!), but sometimes there are products that sellers just won't ship.

What to do? Take a chance on one of the other €5-9.95 cases on Amazon.de despite some reviews pointing out poor fit and/or flimsy build quality? Wait until somewhere around January 5 to have it delivered? Or go with the expensive, but well-known case, and have it delivered tomorrow?

I'm leaning towards the latter option, because €10 or €12 doesn't make a difference in 4-5 years time. I don't know if an expensive/well-known brand will actually be better than a cheap one; I never dropped the Nexus 4 (which had a Diztronic case, which I imported from the UK back then).

(And yes, I was up quite late this morning, so I skipped a night to install the entire phone, down to the last application.)
