Still dreaming of a white iPhone 4? eBay has an alternative

Posted before in another thread but you can get a custom GelaSkins (www.gelaskins.com) skin made ($14.95 + shipping) in white and get the same effect. Just have to slap the Apple logo on the back of your custom skin. I could do a mockup if anyone is interested.
BTW, I'm not at all affiliated with GelaSkins. I'm just a happy and satisfied customer.
Does it interfere with the flash? Does it seem like it will scratch the phone? Do the sides/front look cheap?
It doesn't seem like it will interfere with the flash. As far as scratching I don't think it will. I'm pretty impressed by the case.
You should take a photo in complete darkness using the flash. Compare a photo taken with the case and without the case. When I first received my iPhone at Best Buy on launch day, I bought a Belkin clear case for the meantime until my bumper arrived. I noticed that photos taken at night with flash would come out fuzzy because the flash would reflect off of the case, so I ended up returning it. But since you have this case and many people are interested in it, I'm sure it would be very beneficial to them if you posted your results.
1. I took some pictures in the dark and it does seem like it does interfere with the flash. I cut that entire area out and it seemed to help but it takes away from the case now. I already ordered another. I'm not sure it only the white will have the problem. I'm going to trace the inside with a black sharpie to see if that works.
2. Yes the case does extend above the phone if face down.
3. The logo is chrome.

I just got one, and it does fit over a back skin.
I got one in red and it really messes with the flash to the point it's completely unusable. Major bummer because otherwise I really love this case.
this seller has them for $3.99

Someone else asked for this in a PM so I'll just post it here in case anyone else wants it. Also included a sample of what it looks like on the phone from GelaSkins. Again, I don't work for GelaSkins... just a happy customer.
Are those actual pics or mock-ups?

I had been asking for this! Thanks!!!!!
I've decided to go back to this case. I'll need to notch the bottom out a little bit so I can use my Tom Tom dock. I'm not too concerned about the flash.

Do you have a higher resolution of that original image? I would love to get this, but it seems as though the lettering would be a bit blurry. Thanks in advance!
Just got my second one from eBay. The design is different from the first one I posted. It doesn't extend past the screen like the first and the camera/flash holes are different.
does this one interfere with the flash? Can u post pics of it and a link to buy it? Thanks.

yes it still does. i still like the case but i'm thinking i might just go the gelaskins route. i'm making too many compromises to protect the back.
