Makes it better then, that it doesn't have the belkin logo on it.
well except we could get the belkin for free

Usually 3 days is the max which is why I was expecting a package today.
Oh well.........
It's possibly simply the same case from the same Chinese manufacturer being sold under 2 different labels. This happens all the time with many different products.
I just got a $4 Chinese black bumper (took like 2 weeks) and it looks identical to my sister's $40 Apple version.
Unfortunately I still don't have my iPhone.
Can you please post a link to that bumper? I'd love to see it.
On Ivyskin website they have Questions section and review section.
From Questions section:
Q: Has the iPhone 4 Reception Case begun to ship?
A: Yes, starting July 16th.
From Reviews section:
Does improve the reception! Review by pting (Posted on 7/12/10)

Ordered and received the iphone 4 reception case. I must tell you that I am very happy with the product. It is well made and fits the phone well. Best of all it solves the "death grip" problem - which is the reason I purchased it. In addition, screen proctors are very easy to apply both front screen protector (and back protector too) great value for what it offers.
Something does not add up...

Uh - yeah, seems pretty obvious that those reviews are bogus. Kinda makes me regret ordering from them but I'll be happy if the case is good. Someone should call them out on it though - that's a horrible way to do business.
I've ordered the exact same case from a different HK Seller, anyway the pic looks the same. From the picture it looks nothing like the Apple Bumper?
BTW. If I was paranoid I would be thinking this Ivyskin thing was a scam
i have something to add i was thinking about ordering one so i made an account on there site filled in all the info shipping, billing etc etc, but never checked out with paypal. But i got an email last week that my order was SHIPPED? I am positive i triple checked my paypal account for the charge it wasn't there. I THINK ITS A SCAM!!!!!!
I think I'm just going to dispute the charge on my credit card now and have them reverse it. There are too many things about this site and product that don't add up right. Time to hunt for another case
Just heard the mail truck drive by so I checked the mail and I had mail, but still no case. If they truly shipped when they said they did (which for me was the 20th), it should most definitely be here by Monday. Pretty sure anythign shipped USPS in the continental US can go coast to coast in that time frame. So, I'll give them til Wednesday and then sick AMEX on them.
I went for the switcheasy nude

Oh just noticed there are new reviews posted on the ivyskin website.
So it is pretty obvious that the reviews are bogus on the site, but anyways I found this review interesting.
"great case 8 days delivery time! Review by Logan.M (Posted on 7/23/10)

This is similar to my Incase that I had for my 3G iPhone but much much thinner. 3 stars because it took almost 8 days for me to get it, but the case is just as advertised. "
This review states he got it in 8 days. Maybe we will probably get it 8 days after the date they gave us of the 20th? If I don't get it by the 28, I will be so pissed and try and get the company to pay for false advertising because it is obvious that the pics are fake as well.
I just noticed something with the side view pic. Take a look at the side with the sim card tray on your iPhone and then take a look at the pic of the reception case. The sim card hole thing is in the wrong position and it also doesn't have the black band either.

Well, assuming that review is legit I guess I'll wait till next week...Wednesday at the very latest and then I'm done with the company. I do know for sure that I won't be ordering from them again
They go to be moderated before they show up on the site, I submitted one but they didnt show it.
