Are eBay cases any good?

Ditto this. I bought some because I get kinda sick of looking at the same color case all the time, so it's nice to be able to switch 'em up every few days and not go broke doing so. The only qualm I have is that some of them (not the ones Jessica mentioned--these were from another manufacturer) don't have the area that covers the volume rocker raised in any way, so it's all but impossible to increase or decrease volume just by feel. That's annoying, but I can live with it.
That said, I just got an Incipio NGP and LOVE IT. But when I get tired of looking at the pink, I'm sure I'll rotate back to one of the iSkin knockoffs.
just like the regular cases
some of the china cases suck some are really nice. but the difference is they are allot cheaper if I buy a case for 5-7 shipped and it sucks I am disappointed. btw I've paid as little as $3 shipped for a decent case. Now If I pay $30 and it sucks I pissed. tip for you read the reviews on ebay which is cheapest place to get Iphone cases stay away from those fancy sites.

I've yet to be disappointed with a case from eBay and I have purchased a LOT (I think I have a problem ). Even if you're looking for candyshell or a neo or just whatever brand name, you can almost always get it (the real deal, not a copycat) much cheaper on ebay.
Which cases are you considering?

Not really sure! I like clear ones, but those are not usually so great in my experience (read: griffin reveal). I also like solid color ones like the Incipio feather, and i think the iFrogz look decent too.
I was hoping people would provide links; i updated the initial post to ask people to!
Thanks guys!
Sparrky, i really like the look of this one:

How is it?
Also thinking about these two:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180407549933&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT (i dont get if its 10 different colors or what, the listing is confusing).
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170383430833&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT (i dont get if its 3 different colors or what, the listing is confusing).
Any thoughts on those two?
Check this thread. I think they are fantastic!
Thank you! This is exactly the case and seller I was referring to.
It's really great.. it's got a nice rubber feel so you get a good grip, fits perfectly. No scratching. I'll post some pics as soon as my digital camera recharges.
Yeah you get all 10 on the first one, and you can pick 3 colors on the 2nd link. I think those auctions are all over, but you can find new ones by going to the seller's stores. You can also buy just 1 of each for less. I think the 2nd link is 4.99 for 1, 10.99 for 3. They are also fantastic. They look better in person than in the pics. I have no wear on any of mine, but I do switch them fairly often.
Anyway, I'll be back with some photos for you. I think you'll be happy with all of these cases.
Oh... I posted some pics here of one type of case.

Thanks, you rock! Time to put money in my paypal account haha.
I'll be the voice of dissent here. I've bought a few, all linked in this thread, and don't use any of them anymore. One had too thin a covering over the bottom chrome and dust would get in and scratch it up. The other two would pull up the sides of any brand of screen protector I used. So I'm back using an iSkin Solo, which doesn't have these issues.

Another big thumbs-up for these cases! Nice embossed design, hasn't stretched out after months of use, covers bezel completely, good cut-outs.
And you can't beat the price: 3 cases for $12.99.
Bought mine in July, and still using them -- rotating between blue, purple, and red, with wallpapers to match.
