Mine shipped the 26th oct so only two days infront
What d'you reckon? Monday for yours? Are you in the UK?
Yes I'm in the uk but I'm not really expecting it to be Monday although I hope so. I'm waiting for a defuser aswell but that's coming from the us!!
Here is mine that I got for $15. It's glass but the white color is a bit off white.. No flash or camera issues which is great
More pics can be found here.
Looks good, especially for $15. Would you recommend?
Damn, seems like that seller doesn't have these anymore. Can anyone else recommend a decent $20 and below white back? $50 is more than I want to spend on it. Thanks.
i opted to change back to my black plate. The white one just didnt cut it for my OCD self. It had a few imperfections (screws not being flush, tiny gap between plastic rim and antenna). I have emailed the seller for a replacement, but im not sure its worth sending back to the US and getting another which may have the same fate! so maybe a refund may be necessary.
sorry i didnt post the pictures of the flash, fyi i did take a few but they werent very good!
At the end of the day, i think if you want as good quality as the black backplate you need to spend the extra $$.

Oh no!! Is the gap that bad? It doesn't look too promising for me who bought a cheaper one
lol no honestly its not bad at all, as i said, im pretty OCD. Its barely noticeable but the fact that 'its there' gets to me. From now on, if i ever get the backplate i have to KNOW its exactly the same quality as the black. I may have got a dud though, still waiting to hear from the seller.
I pretty much have the same issue but it isn't noticeable as you can see. The seller send me a free replacement.
Lol im I'm still feeling aprehensive about getting mine I just wish it would hurry up already
Same here. I just wonder what will happen when Apple finally decides to release the official white iPhone. Would it become obvious that I spent $200 on inferior parts (front, back, diffuser, home button, speaker mesh, headphone, dock)?
Nah I think it will be very close to how the official one looks when it finally comes out. The only thing that will be slightly off is the colour.
well just got my $15 one and the quality is awesome !!!.

guess which one has the better quality lol.. funny though, both from hongkong and both the same price but the quality is seriously much different. Its amazing how sellers try to rip you off. Oh the cheapo one (right one) had scratches on the back of the case and was the buyer has yet to contact me on a refund or anything , whats more that buyer's feedback is like 99.2% with over 3000+ items sold ...
