Well, the wait is finally over. The Sector 5 case is finally out. And under $40! :D Going to order one of these, stay tuned for review.

By the looks of it, it appears that the laser etched logo is bigger than the real one, and the "E" towards the bottom has a red outline, I believe it should be black instead. But these are the first ones, they usually end up releasing new versions that have all the correct details.

It's just painted aluminum, it's going to look beat to hell after a few weeks of use.

They appear to be anodized in the pictures. Painted would have more of a gloss to it like the Vapor Pro white cases for the iphone 4/4s

Your going to drive element out of business by buying knockoffs! They send tons of money on r&d just to have some Chinese company steam their idea and people buy it o save Money! Don't feel bad when stops making cases because everyone is buying knockoffs instead of the real thing! That's my 2 cents. Plus, why not buy something made here in the USA? I don understand people.

Its probably a matte paint, doesn't have to be glossy plus the connectors are wrong their black on the black model and the first edition gunmetal.

Saddened that the moderators here allow this stuff to be discussed here. It's no different than software piracy, which they do not allow to be discussed.

Because it's a replica?

That's like saying we shouldn't talk about Dr. Thunder (soda) because it's a replica of Dr. Pepper.

Yes since picking a forum name justifies why someone buys something.

Age is a perfect indication whether you are self aware on the market . Yes.

I mean. Any old competent person would understand that this replica will only degrade your iPhones design , feel and performance.

He's buying it and going to review it. It just might be a perfect replica and save people so cash.
