Was looking at that case as well, but in black from same seller. Buy it and review pls
Ive already wasted enough bucks on cheap ebay cases... (I would try the Incase Slider if I could, but it aint available at all in Sweden -.-)Found a fairly nice cheap case. Got it for about 6 euros with shipping (which was rather fast too). It's essentially a transparent TPU bumper clone, except it's probably thinner than the Apple one and has better access to the dock port. Fits well, doesn't seem to have any play in it. Probably doesn't add that much extra protection but should help for the antenna issue (haven't noticed it on mine at all even without the case). Top button is a bit harder to press but not problematic IMO.
Don't have any pics of it on the phone since my only cam is the iPhone4 but check the link, it's pretty close except it isn't that bright in anything but very bright sunlight. I wish they made a non-transparent one in the same color.

I got one of the fake Incase Sliders today. I have to say, it's by far my favorite ebay case thus far. I bought a couple of the $1 bumpers and haven't been impressed with the fit/quality (although for that price, I'm not complaining).
This case feels good, is well constructed, and I can't find any imperfections on mine. FYI - it fits extremely tightly with a BSE shield.
Here are some pics - taken with an iPhone 4, so they are just the case for now.
Note the 4th picture is washed out - the color looks more like the first 3. Also, I got an email from ebay saying this auction had been pulled a few days after I paid. I suspect Incase is cracking down on getting these auctions removed. I'm hoping to pick up one or two more of these, though. Hopefully in white and gunmetal.
Hope that helps someone.

It's a new phenomenon, I think. I've never really seen it before. I also think it's why so many of these auctions are getting pulled.
don't bother getting any of those slider cases if you have a screen protector on. none of them will fit. tested and proven.
Do you have any flash issues with this case? The cutout seems somewhat small. Also, it didnt bubble your BSE skin (back and front?)? If it dont, Ill pull the trigger on this.
Edit: Fck, seems like all those cases are gone from ebay as you said. Would you mind telling me the name of the ebay seller?
I have stopped using my black ebay bumper as it starting pushing up the corner of my sgp carbon skin in the corner by the camera.
take a look here:
http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=ip...forated&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
i also ordered one of the fake incase cases, it should arrive in the next days.
I don't have a BSE on the front - the back didn't bubble, but it was too tight, and I had issues getting the case off and on, so I took the shield off of the back.
It does have the flash issue.
Yup nada, all the fake ones have been taken off it seems
Hm, wouldve been interesting to try if it bubbles screen guard only. Hows the feel of the skin? Somewhat rubbery or just plain plastic?
Guess my case is at home i ordered this one. Will post results with pictures later when i get home and put it on.

Wow.. Im impressed with this case i bought for 99cents..
http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...m/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220641491393
Its really snug on the iphone almost too snug, i had a hard time getting it on. Also it started lifting my back StealthGuard skin so i had to use a credit card and jam it back in and make it work.
Overall its a solid case and feels and looks great. It was a bit harder to get on tho.. Only downside is the lock button is a bit tricky to push.
Volume buttons are no problem but I might cut them out tho for personal preference. Other than that, excellent!
here is some pics

Just got this in the mail today:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...000706&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_3245wt_932
It's pretty nice. The only gripes I would have are:
1) It seems to bubble my PS back screen protector in two corners.
2) Sleep/wake button is a little hard to press
But for $3 I'd say this is a really nice bumper. I've been using the Incipio NGP Matte which was $20 at Walmart. This seems close in quality, minus the two gripes above (but even expensive cases are having those same issues).
I do like the bumper-style, so I might use this one for a while.
Shipping time: I purchased this on 8/11 and it arrived on 8/28, so about 2.5 weeks shipping to Washington state.

Got same bumper last week. One I received was PoS. It's way too loose. I can pull the sides out about 1 inch. Dust and dirt could easily get in. For $3, it's not worth time and money to send back to Hong Kong.

I had one and it scratched the back pretty bad. Mine also fit pretty loose. Might have been different manufactures. I hated mine.
I got a rubberized hard case that has a built in stand! i thought it was pretty slick. It came from Hong Kong for 8 USD but i think they are out of stock cuz I can't find them anymore from them.
the case doesn't curve to the screen so it'll work with any screen protector but you can't put it down on teh table without the screen touching it.
the camera hole does not cause any issues with flash and is black inside.
the angle is great for videos and facetime

Received the white incase slider knock-off I ordered from eBay. Fits well and doesn't bubble my screen protector.
BUT
The case affects the camera flash. The camera hole is a big oblong. Probably as big as the genuine sliders but flash is still affected. Took the same picture with and without a case. The one with the slider has a bluish tone on it. I'm very disappointed.
