Fake power support flat bumper

pat park said:
For how cheap they sell these for, I don't see them taking a return. Sure they dropped the ball, but the cost to send it back doesn't make sense for you and them. Chalk it up to a lesson learned or try again and if they get it right, you're still getting a great deal. Sometimes we have to look at the positives instead of focusing on the negatives in life.

Lesson learned is take the business elsewhere. Thank you very much.

Be careful with eForChina. I ordered a silver/black flat bumper. They sent me a silver/white bumper which would look hideous on my grey iPhone. I sent them pictures as proof that they sent the wrong item (front and back of package, with their product number). They acknowledged the error, then asked me to just accept it because it doesn't affect functionality.

Oh, and said they will be more careful next time. As if there is a next time. *roll eyes*

That's funny ... Welp, I ordered two , and if I don't get the right colors ,I'll simply just post them on Craigslist for $10 bucks each. Someone will buy them.

Lesson learned, not fretting over the small stuff. You won't find a better deal on that bumper case.

I just found one cheaper at AliExpress. Had good experience with some sellers there before. Would rather try someone else from now on. Why support someone who send you the wrong item and wouldn't even correct the error?
Won't reply to this issue anymore. Just want to let people know this happened at eForChina. Not to argue why reporting a wrong order is to "fret over little thing"

Let it go. It's just a cheap plastic thing you wrap your phone in.
 
It's been three weeks and change since I ordered my red and silver bumpers.

Granted I did free shipping this time, but I hope they arrive this week...

Did this ever arrive for you? I'm coming up on three weeks myself. What I'm starting to find out is all the companies over there in China that ship China post do not arrive quicker than if they were shipped via e-packet.

I ordered four cases from AliExpress and they arrived in 10 days whereas the stuff I ordered from eforChina have yet to arrive yet after almost 3 weeks.

Either way, I have to admit, the cases are of great quality and I will most likely not pay full price for cases anymore :)

lol this is embarrassing, but its been well over a month so i looked through my emails and old credit card statements, I never finalized the order.

So the wait was indefinite :D

I decided to not re-order more bumpers at this point, the one I have is nice and I'm liking it enough. Plus I'm going to try out a Nexus 5, so not sure I wanna spend more on accessories.

Still keeping my iPhone 5 around regardless, but curious to give this nexus the full test drive. I had a good time when I had a galaxy nexus too
 
Mine finally arrived after like 2 months. It's the black/slate. Anyone who wants it $15 (to cover shipping costs) PM me. Brand new
 
I'm just going to put it out there, I wouldn't feel comfortable buying from a site that is based in China or Korea. I don't care how cheap the item is, there is no chance I will allow them to have my credit card info.

The bumper is nice, but not give my credit card to countries that do their best to hack the hell out of the USA nice. Good luck too all that jump on it.

Ah, bummer. My wait continues. I'm an iPhone 5s guy :) I dig IOS too much.

Thanks for responding. Appreciate it.

PayPal?
 
I used eforchina. If you click on the tracking info it doesn't work bc the link changed. I had to copy the number and paste it into the swisspost site and tracking worked for me.
 
I finally received my case - original order was back in September!! I bought a Spigen case in the meantime that I'm happy with so not sure if I even want the flat bumper anymore. Anyway, if you ordered and are still waiting, don't lose hope!

Would you mind if I ask how is the fit? I read the real one is a tight snug fit. Does the bumper scratch the metal band like other bumpers (even the Apple bumpers scratch the iphone 4/4S)? Thank you.
 
It was pretty tight.

I actually just ordered a silver+black for my iPhone 5 should be nice when it gets here.

Actually ordered it this time.

Gave the fake black bumper to someone who bought my other iPhone 5 on CL (traded it up for a Nexus 5 for a bit, returned to iPhone for iTunes match in the car since I cant do aux or bluetooth).

Missed jailbreak anyways :D
 
Does anyone else find it hypocritical that discussing pirated MP3s and apps is completely shunned on this forum, but discussing knock-off accessories is acceptable?

Not trying to get you guys discussing these bumpers in trouble or anything :p
 
This was quick!

Just got my silver one in the mail with black trim against my slate 5.

Looks great, better than the all black flat bumper I had before imo.
