I just got 5 cases: black, grey, white, yellow & orange. I'll probably never use all the colors but for a $1 each, who cares.

resell them to friends ;)

i'm gonna order one strictly for work cause i work in a dirty environment. then probably a bumper for all other days.

also, i think this is the first iPhone i'm gonna get a screen protector for =/ all of these threads are starting to worry me.

I highly recommend getting a good screen protector. Better safe than sorry is my motto for my iPhones.

ya.. well i just ordered a one of those cases. i don't have the iPhone 4 yet (... canada :mad:), but at least i'll be prepared once i do get it.
 
Most china stores use hong kong post. (it's like USPS but china) they pick the cheapest option which is like 25¢.

I also bought a case a year or two ago for my 3G for around $1. I think the postage on the envelope said something like $2-$3.

I find it hard to believe the cheapest option is 25¢ when sending a domestic letter under one ounce is 44¢.
 
Yes, it's ugly.

But I had a tiny bit left in "eBay Bucks" so it was 59 cents shipped. Might as well give it a shot as a back-up case.
 
I am going to see if I can stretch it over the bumper. Could be used as a temporary solution for certain conditions without getting the otterbox and having full time bulk.
 
My 99c shipped case came in today, and it had a centimeter-long tear on the bottom right along the seam when I took it out of the envelope :-(

Anyone else had this problem?

not for me. i just got my cases in the mail today (THREE of them, in fact!). i'm actually really impressed with the quality and fit, considering they were only a dollar!

shipping took longer than i thought, so i ended up getting the iFrogz Luxe Lean from best buy last week, which i love btw. i'll use these cases as spares.
 
I dont own an iPhone but have recieved 6 $1 cases from ebay. I got them from different buyers and different colors to see which one would have the best fitment, and best quality. Glad I did because I ordered white from 3 different people and one of them actually came in clear, and one of them has crappy cutouts. For the most part all of them look pretty good for $1.

And I got my BSE today. I want to make sure my white iphone does not leave the house without protection.

They are now selling bumper knock offs for $5 shipped. I ordered a few of those as well. Hope they are nice and tight.
 
Mine has a very nice fit too. It smells bad though. It's also weird that they cut an opening for the micro-sim tray. I'm going to use some super glue to fix the tear until he can send me a new one.

One of mine didnt smell too great when I first got it either. Now after a few days none of them have a distinct smell. But who knows, maybe in heat or something they start to stink again.
 
They smell bad because they're made from recycled garbage.

Just got mine today, I ordered 2. I can tell they were from different molds, one had a top microphone cutout, the other didnt. One had a sim tray cutout, the other didnt, one has volume button cutouts, the other didnt. Good thing the one I didnt like was in the wrong color, because he's replacing it.

Same here. Mine smell bad too.

I got two, one black and one white.

Funny thing is both have different designs.

1. One has cut for SIM installation section one does not.
2. One has nice hole for camera and flash and other has not so good.

Anyway, qualify is cheeeeaaapp! What do you expect for $1?

I am not going to use any of those cases. may be in emergency! Do not recommend at all!
