Reading the reviews there seems to be doubt as to it's authenticity.....

That's surprising as it's listed as a genuine Samsung by Amazon who are the seller. 

Normally fakes are via 3rd party Chinese sellers so amazon could get into a bit of bother over things like this

Used those for 2 covers for the S5 I bought a family member. Seem ok to me. (and fit the phone which tends to be a giveaway)

You want suggestions......?

After telephone_users trouble, maybe a kind of zebra print in green, black and gold. Nothing will match anymore so it'll be fine. Very classy...

How come 02 are only getting the generic crap usual black white and gold colours for the edge.... or normal version why not the blue/green versions 😞

[jonsie]

It's possible that the other colours may be exclusive to a particular network?

[Anonymous]

O2 may think the others won't sell? If you are buying your phone outright then I would buy sim free anyway and not buy from o2 (who lock their phones). Giffgaff and CPW don't lock their Android devices.

It is funny how suppliers make a judgement call on the colours to stock and many play safe. I know I had to search a long time to find the colour I wanted for my Note 3 (Merlot Red).....

Mind you as most phones go into cases now, I don't suppose it matters in the long run...:smileywink:
