I wanted to buy a billistic case for my nexus 4 but they are sold out on the global ballistic website. I found a few on amazon that say ballistic and look exactly the same for around $20. But they are from different vendors.
My question is are they the real cases or knock offs?

The replicas might look the same but they won't say Ballistic on the back.

OK thanks.
It says it on the back.
So how can vendors sell cheaper than the company that supposedly made it?

It is important for manufacturers to keep the wholesalers on as customers, as that is their main source of revenue. If they undercut their wholesalers, the wholesalers will get angry and stop purchasing, thereby burying the manufacturer.
Thanks for info

If it is the 16gb make sure it is not thru Tmobile. People are purchasing thru TMO for $199 or even that last deal they had where it was for $50 or free I think. After they sell it then they wait a week or 2 and report it lost, stolen and TMO will block the IMEI.

Let's say that after a month or 2 you don't want the device and want to sell it, you will have a better chance of selling it to able to use on att, tmo, simple etc.

Assuming the seller doesn't have insurance on the phone:
What would this seller gain by reporting it stolen? He's still gonna have to pay the early termination fee.

I think it's easier to assume the seller does have insurance, especially on a two day old phone with plans of doing a scheme.
it's also easy to assume the seller may prefer the phone he was using before the n4, change the SIM, no etf

Get him to remove the phones IMEI off his account before he sells it to you

He's selling it because he doesn't like stock android and he wants the galaxy s4 now

That's assuming he/she pays the etf. Some won't and could care less about their credit. Seller could be selling an already stolen phone and banking on getting rid of it before iemi is blacklisted.
I've also heard people use fake info to sign up for a 2 year contract get phone then just stop paying

IMO, pay the $50 extra from one directly from Google. $300 sounds tempting but it could easily turn into 650

Something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Throw it out there and see if you get a bite. If not drop it by $15 and throw it out there again. Personally, I would not buy it because of some other devices getting ready to be released. But it does not hurt to ask.

If it's the 16gb it's worth a shot... if is the 8gb then that's too much

Sounds reasonable to me. Check swappa and look at the recently sold. Only problem is is there are a lot of them listed so if you want to unload it quickly, you'll likely have to drop the price.

16gb here usually go for $300-350 . this is in the USA Wichita Kansas

I just bought a flawless 1 month old 16 gig on craigslist for 260 tonight.

250 seems to be the going price on Ebay for a used in good condition.
I live in a country where G2 is not very popular, so I don't get any accessories for it. Can anyone suggest a good website from which I can buy a screen protector and some cases for my phone?

Ebay or Amazon. Look for international shippers. Even in America G2 accessories are hard to find compared to Samsung/Apple
