Replica Taktik cases on ebay?

Excellent to hear Kilcher! Glad that we have a reputable seller to deal with.

Thanks for the update porcupine. now im hoping my work picks up so i have some extra money in April. I could stand to have one of each :)
 
I have the Taktik case on its way to me should be here Friday or Saturday so I will post how the plastic works out. I couldn't tell from the photo's the seller provided if the camera and flash holes on the back were correct or not so if they aren't it will be back in the mail for a refund anyways.
 
Just removed my case and god I forgot how small and light the iphone 5 feels like

And i think the aluminium case only effects wifi when I'm in the basement

Phone feels so amazing without a case

Don't know if I want to put the case back now lol

So is the plastic ones really that bad? Anyone on this chain that own the plastic and are NOT having any problems? I thought I read some posts that indicated that.

BTW... the white metallic version will be offered by iPhoneCase2011 in April he says for those who are interested.

I have the plastic and its perfectly fine. Dropped it pretty bad on a few drunk adventures (college lol) and its held up fine. Still rocking it

I did the same but felt the opposite. I like the feel of the case but that might be because my precious phones were large in comparison (note, gs3)

I feel like i could crush the phone in my hand without a case haha
 
ya the iphone is nice without a case, but its just not as usable i find. This case gives me some holding room around the edge which is perfect for typing of watching movies. The phone feels too delicate without the case though and gives me cause for paranoia lol
 
Ill try without a case for today and put it back maybe tomorrow..it just feels so nice now

Plus I got a best skins ever full body protectors on (front+ back + sides)
 
So terry how you liking the metal version? Any opinion on the finish? Is it the type of aluminum that's prone to scratches? I dropped my plastic one a view times and its scruffed up quite a bit and the head phone plug won't stick anymore lol no fault of the case it did its job but now I'm wanting a new one, so I'm thinking of going the metal route this time around.
 
I am curious about the aluminum ones specifically the signal loss (if any), how the gorilla glass looks (returned the one I got on eBay due to the rainbow affect) and overall feel.

Looking to get something solid for my phone.
 
Hey itzastonish, so far so good! The metal is holding up well, still looks like the day i got it. No scratching, tough finish, and the silver color holds up perfectly against keys in the pocket, the gym floor etc lol. I try and take good care of it, but it still looks mint and the glass of course is crystal clear which is such an improvement over any of the other cases ive ever used with plastic screen covers. All in all this is the best case on the market period.

You suggested to me to get the case in the first place and I did and I couldnt be more happy, so let me suggest to you to get the metal version this time around, i think youll be very satisfied.

MacMD, I did a write up earlier on in this thread with photographic evidence regarding signal strength in the metal case. Youll find a wealth of information there. The direct link to the page its on should be on my youtube video or just look back i think its on page 10.

Btw do you have a screen protector under your case?

And if you do..what kind is it?

I just got crytal clear screen protectors but im afraid it might cause a rainbow effect

Im currently ussing an anti glare and no rainbow effect
 
Nope no screen protector. Rainbow effect is just an unavoidable side effect sometimes of having something clear against glass. But I never experience it for the most part unless there's a lot of humidity And pressure against the screen. Just get in crazy clean and it should be fine for the most part.
 
Attention! For all you wanting to get the metal case now is the time to do it. iphonecase2011 has relisted the case on eBay until it gets pulled again.

The item number is 151013450111. Just specify to him when you order wat color u want ( black or silver)

Here's a link to the page http://item.mobileweb.ebay.ca/viewitem;PdsSession=7d289e2a13d0a5aa84377067fff9e20a?itemId=151013450111&kw=151013450111
 
He's already sold out of the Black.

I was going to buy one off Ebay from this guy:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/271147124426...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_7055wt_1091

He has the black ones, but now I cannot decided what colour I want.

Damn, I hate all these decisions. I want black, but the silver looks good too.

Yeah, the Otterbox Armor looks pretty damn cool too. Again, I can't even decide what colour to go for.

I think they all look pretty cool. But silver was a little different than wat I usually see. But if I had the extra cash I'd get a black one too. They're both really well done for their color schemes I think. Looking forward to seeing your pics wen the cases arrive!

Is the silver as "sparkly" as it looks in the pictures?
 
The guy I'm ordering from in Hong Kong seems pretty reasonable. I am ordering the Black aluminum version.

I'm sure you guys are more researched than I am on which models to take a chance on.

I try and post some pictures when I get mine.
 
Cavenenau, if you will read this forum and watch my review video, me and several others have clearly laid out which models to get and even what seller to get it from so there is no risk for those who wish to buy. All the info is here its just a choice of whether u want one or not now.

Ah I was hoping it was just the flash :/

It's not really sparkly it just looks like silver spray paint with metalic flakes as opposed to a straight sheet of aluminum if that makes sense. Like if you ever used a testors silver model paint its like that.
 
I can say I took Terry8000's recommendation and ordered from iphonecase2011 and my black case is on its way to me. Should be here in a week or two depending on transit times.

Based on Terry8000's youtube video, the quick replies from iphonecase2011 via ebay I felt confident in purchasing from him. The seller was great and I look forward to getting mine, I will post my thoughts and pictures as well when it arrives.

Ah alright I have to think about the cor choice then.

I feel like we should be getting a cut for all the business were bringing this gig, but maybe that's just my marketing major side talking :p
 
I'm going to order one from iphonecase2011.
Terry8000 has done such a good job documenting all this stuff(thanks)
I think I'll go with Black.

Is he sold out of everything?
I sent him a msg that I'm interested in a black aluminum Taktik Extreme case.
Will see how it goes.
