could anyone answer? how is the fit???
Click to expand...

the fit is nice and tight

I dont think it will scratch it over time, my 3GS had a similar one for like 9 months and there was no scratches at the back, how ever some parts of the "chrome ring" had light scratches, but the iPhone 4 doesnt have any parts like that chrome ring on the 3GS, so...
 
Thanks, OP! I just ordered the same one based on your photos and opinions on it. I can't wait to get it! It will probably get here faster than the white Bumper Apple is sending me!

That's what she said...

Anyway, for $4.00 that is a decent buy.
I would put a skin on it then add the case.
These cases (like others) trap dust, dirt and grime under the edges which will scratch the glass.
 
Nice case! I too bought off ebay about a month ago in hopes of having the phone on launch day, case came from Hong Kong on launch day but no phone (i preordered from BB)... I got a black silicone case and just yesterday was able to put my phone in it lol...
I paid 2.99 for mine lol and no, no reception issues so far (knock on wood)
 
OP, how's the camera flash work without problems? Is it rubbery?


If the answers are yes for both, you might have just saved me $25

when i put it on, I took a few pictures with the flash on, and the lens flare didnt show up like with the other case I have (INCIPIO _________) don't know the exact name of the other case...

I'll try later again to see what happens...

Yeah it does! I ordered 2 of these a week ago. Still waiting to receive them (and my phone!). I love cheap Chinese cases, I don't care what any uninformed elitist says. :D

I'd love to buy this case, as a long as there is no camera flash issue.
 
I bought a black one...hopefully the weird accent on the back shows less kn a black phone...have not had great success with the one tpu eBay case for iPad everyone aged about here...maybe this will be better. To add the belkin tpu case (aside from flash issues) was no better than the Chinese case.

Ad targeting? What are you implying?
Click to expand...

That even though the ad banners at the bottom roll through several ads, I have often and maybe simply coincidentally seen a product which is being discussed at the bottom of the thread in which it is being discussed. I am not implying that there OP is in anyway involved, but simply curious as to the means by which the selection is made to which ads run in rotation in the banners and if they are 'targeted' in any way based on the thread topic or at the least, forum heading...

They don't. This type of case is what I used the vast majority of the time on my 3GS and the Apple logo on the back was pristine when I sold it the other day. It's TPU, so it's a soft, flexible plastic, not like the Incase Slider or anything like that.

I ordered a pink TPU case last week from ebay; am expecting it any day now. Hopefully it'll be as good as the one pictured above! I'm all over ebay knockoff cases when possible. :) I just wish more people were offering the "pick 3" or "pick 5" or whatever deals like were offered on the epikcases in the past; it's nice to get a bunch of colors to pick from all at once.

Thanks! I ordered four TPU cases on eBay for a grand total of $6.00. Only downfall is the seller said they will take 3-4 weeks to get here from China. I figured they'd be great back up cases, & add to variety.
 
received an Ebay TPU case yesterday. i like it better than the belkin grip view. buttons are more accessible and easier to push. won the auction at $0.06!!

WOW! I cant even see those ads cause I have "adblock". And no im not involved in anyway, you clearly see that i didnt even post links or anything, i must be the worst sales man if I post something about my product but give a vague description of were to buy it.

Anyway Good coincidence !

Im loving the case! I check again and the flash doesnt seems to interfere but I didnt do a back to back with both cases. Im kinda worried about the protection because the i4 front and back its very fragile, did you guys see the video of the guy letting the iPhone 4 fell to the ground with a APPLE Bumper, it broke at the 3rd time! :( and the Bumper seems to be "bulkier" than this case I was kinda hoping the Bumper to be very protective (or what ever, sorry my english kinda sucks...)
