It is possible to buy a Thinedge from amazon.co.uk for about £6. It comes with all the extras and it looks really genuine, but it is not (apparently the extras are not a criterion). I had the same loose fit and the white button discoloured very quickly, but it was ment to be a trial anyway. Unfortunately, the genuine blue is more a matte non-metallic green which was a bit of a disappointment. Other then that it is like day and night. The build quality and the fit are perfect, much better then what I have seen from SGP and others. I can only recommend to purchase from their website or an authorized retailer, absolutely worth it. :)
 
For those that ordered from the official site, how long did shipping take to the states?
 

Thanks to the OP for this thread - I was looking for a new bumper after my SGP broke, and this was just what I was looking for. I received 2 from the above ebay seller (bestseller8380) - blue and black, and they appear to be authentic. The packages were sealed with holographic Caze tape, and inside the package in a locked flapped compartment were all the extras - cloth, stand, screen protectors. The blue came with red and white fasteners; the black came with black and red. He also sent separate packaged screen protectors.

He only has blue and pink listed last I checked, but since he lists all the colors in the description, I inquired about black. Initially he said he only had blue, pink, and green in, but he did get more stock of the black a few days later, so he changed my order to my original request of black and blue. I would suggest emailing him for what colors he has in stock if you are looking for something specific, and if he will be expecting that color in if not in his current stock. You may have to wait a few days for a reply, but he did come through at the end.

Now for a few pics:

I didn't take the pic until after I opened the package, but it was a smooth seal, no wrinkles.

They were $9.62 when I purchased - now they are $8.75. Very happy with this purchase!

To be honest, I had my doubts these would turn out to be authentic at that price, so I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package! So far, so good, I am really liking the feel of this bumper - and if it turns out somehow they aren't the real deal, they are very well made regardless.

The flash does make the blue a little more electric in my pics - in reality, it is a shade somewhere in between Air Force blue and Eton blue (darker than eton blue), on this page:

Anyone know if these are being made for the iPhone 5?

This is my favourite case!
 
anyone received theirs for the iPhone 5 yet?

mine still says processing - not sure if they have sent it yet?
 
Same here. I did the pre-order and according to their website it would be available on Nov 5th. I have emailed on the 7th and no response as of today. They have already charged my credit card. .
 
i preordered mine last night and in the pull down menu where you pick your color it says it will ship on the 15th.
 
I preordered on the 1st and it was shipped on the 10th from Hong Kong. I'll post pics and review when I receive it.
