So I was looking for a nice cheap case for my new iPhone 4 on eBay and I came across this. IT cost me $1 with free shipping from China. Ten days later, it arrives. It looks much nicer thanI would have expected for one dollar, and it fixes all of my signal problems!

Note that the crappy screen protector is not part of the case.

One American dollar could be worth alot to them. My only guess. Lol

Edit: btw +1 for this post. Just bought one for myself to try out.

Looks like the case interferes with the LED camera flash...
 
Very nice. I may order a couple myself. If it interferes with any of the important holes on the phone, it's probably very simple to cut it or punch out the necessary material.
 
I would think more than a buck...I also can't figure out how these guys make money. Even if they get the case for a cent, how do they get it to you for under $0.99?

Most china stores use hong kong post. (it's like USPS but china) they pick the cheapest option which is like 25¢.

I took a few pictures with the flash on. I saw no difference with or without the case. The case stays in a fixed position so it doesn't really "shift" over the flash.

Is that the white one you have there?

Nope, this is the gray case.

Why signal problems?

Huh? I'm having no signal problems after using this case, if that's what you're asking.
 
Sweet.

I just ordered a bright Orange One. I wanted a cheap case until the iSkin case comes out for the iPhone 4.
 
Thanks! Ordered one to tide me over till Apple give in and give me a free bumper. Wonder how they make money off these.

seems you probably just got this guy 10+ sales, you should ask for commission lol.
