I think they're the same... it's known as Deff Cleave in Japan and Draco IV in the USA.
 
Think I'm gonna order a Deff Cleave in blue. The color looks gorgeous, and would match my car :). Think I'll order a brushed aluminum back plate as well. I think it'll be a great combo

Will the deff cleave and draco iv be the same when it comes to reception and gps signal strength?
 
Anyone know where I can buy a white one for the 4S - would need to buy a CDMA case - regardless of carrier for iPhone 4S.
 
Been using it for a few months now and I must say I am kinda disappointed. The paint or coating is wearing off at the edges. And yes I am using original bought at a certified local dealer recommended by Draco. And it is black.
 
Does anyone know if they have a 4s Version of this Draco IV? or are they gonna come out with one anytime soon?
 
Just thought I'd let everyone know that I got confirmation from the guys at slickgate.com that the one they sell (both the higher and lower quality ones) are NOT original. My assumption is that most are fake but they have only seem to have made fake AT&T versions that also seem to work with the iPhone 4S for some reason. You can tell those who sell fakes because they sell odd colors that Deff doesn't show on their site.

I haven't seen anywhere that sells the CDMA version (no sim card opening). If anyone has seen a place, please post it.

I'm actually meeting the owner of tekcases.com in person this week (Sunday) and will hopefully have concrete answer on whether the AT&T version of the official Cleave will fit the 4S. I'll report if it does. If it doesn't then I'll see if I can get the her to order some of the CDMA versions.

I'll keep everyone updated.

I have got one of this case with a reasonable price. It is a functional case which can be used for iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s. So it must be one of the most functional case online now.:D

SO after emailing them they refused to own up to their problematic product and instead blamed me.. I hardly take out the phone .... PISSED OFF...

I WOULD ADVISE PEOPLE TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT.
 
Don't have enough post to see FS section but if someone on this thread wants to sell their Draco IV I'll take it of your hands. Shoot me a PM
 
Hey guys,

Sorry for the late update. I did end up getting a Draco from Tekcases when I met the owners in person this past Sunday. They let me try the case on the 4S and as they said, they work fine. So I can vouch first hand that at least the official Draco's work perfectly fine with the 4S (and by extension the Verizon 4).

Official word from Draco support was that, contrary to their website, there is no CDMA version or specific 4S version. Also, tekcases is the only authorized reseller in the US (they didn't give me a list of international).

Out of curiosity, I did buy a very cheap, probably fake, Draco off eBay so I can do a comparison of the quality. I won't get it for a couple of weeks though but I'll try to remember to post again once I have both.

Where do you suggest getting the real deal? Draco Designs site doesn't sell them? I emailed them to find out who does in the US, waiting...

Are Tekcases and IGearUSA, authorized resellers?

Correct. Draco has a new site to order from dracodesignusa.com :)
We should have a review up tomorrow on the limited edition btw.
 
I will order today from igearusa.com. Can someone confirm if they sell the real one. Don't want to drop money on a fake one. Thanks guys

I think Tekcases is in Maryland. You might get it faster from them. Just a thought. I'm sitting here debating about getting one as well. Can't decide if I want to give in to temptation...
