Hey guys i joined this forum just throw in my two cents. I also bought one of the lunatic taktik extreme cases from an eBay seller and received it today and so far i have zero complaints no rainbow effect not cheap plastic bits it has the whole lot its one of the aluminum versions and as far as i can tell after hours of research comparing the real version to this replica i cannot find a single difference very sturdy case the eBay seller is HAPPYCITY88866. It took it a while to get here but i am very pleased with the result has me severely questioning whether its a replica or not lol. 15 bucks.
Got a tip for us?

Gave it a shot
Thanks for the info...I ordered from this guy based on your review and figured for $16 it would be worth a shot. Just placed the order (for a 4S case) so will be a while, but I'll be away on business so I'll likely forget all about it and be surprised to find it in the mail when I get home
ADDITION - Got the case, it is nice and fits well. It has no scratches anywhere, and arrived quickly. My problems with the one I got are : Not enough adhesive to keep the "gorilla glass" stuck to upper half of case - and - the mute switch is very loose and requires a few tries to get the actual switch to move. Other than that it's a very nice case, and am awaiting a reply form the seller on how to do a self-repair or if he will send new replacement switch/rubber that may work better. For the price, a very cool case that seems to be made OK so far.

Almost a year now with this knock off case and it's still going strong. I work in the auto field and I've dropped this case many times and dropped a lot of tools on it from my phone sitting in my tool cart. It has accumulated a lot of scratches and dents but has completely protected my iPhone 5s. I even got my dad the aluminum finish one and he loves it, he works on trains as a repairmen/welder and abuses his case every time some one asks him about it to prove that it's strong. He did manage to finally break the screen by leaving it in the sun and wiping it down with cold water. He likes it better with out the glass screen so he isn't going to replace it. But all in all my phone cases have been awesome, the last time I paid for my dad's which was a few months ago the price had dropped to 28 dollars. I still use iphone4gcaseshop@gmail.com
All this made in China products are the same , I don't think it's "fake" it's just OEM ..
Probably they sold the rights of the design or the factory stopped working with Taktik .
In the worst case it's made by the brother of the factroy owner in a different factory and it's 100% THE SAME !
when I'm right I'm right, when I'm wrong I could been right
