Ebay Samsung Galaxy Note II Case

So last Wednesday or Tuesday I ordered a case for my new phone via Ebay because of how cute the case was. I ordered an Owl Case that was just to cute to pass by. The case was relatively cheap coming in at $6.95. I had put this item as "will buy" a week prior to actually purchasing it. Good thing that I did as the price went up to $7 and some change. It's not much of a difference but if you can get something at a lower price, why not lock it in.

Well today I received the item. The shipping from this person I purchased it from stated in the ad that it should be received by Jan 14th and well it was received 2 days early so I'm quite happy about that.  Now for the bad.

I've bought plenty of cases online and mainly via Ebay before, in fact I bought one from a different person just three weeks prior to this one and it came as it was listed. I will have a review on that later. Going back to the Owl case I just received. It stated in the ad that it was "New". Well when I received the item it was in what looks like the original package. As I continued to open and analyze the item (which I didn't have to look to closely to notice) I realized that there were these "soap" spots on the inside. As I looked further it was the whole inside of the case that looked like it had been washed. If this item is "new" like it was described,  there shouldn't be any "soap" spots. Furthermore the outside of the case with the owl print also had black spots and when touched it felt like stuff was stuck to it. It did fall off as I used my finger/nails to remove it. That was a bit nasty to not know what I had just picked off my case. All in all, this item will suffice for what was paid but completely disappointed that it was advertised as "new" as it clearly was not. Before using it I did have to clean it just for my sanitary sanity. Will I order from this particular company/person again, No.
