It is not real.

SchneiderMan I just read your review of this case. I already have the sw-box knockoff one but the fit is horrible. Would you recommend the original one? you mentioned about some small flaws which concern me.

Thanks.

I would but if you are indeed concerned about those flaws then just pass on this one.. If you can live with them then try it out!
 
yeah I was just wondering since SchneiderMan seemed so sure that it's definitely not real. ;p
 
dont buy from deal extreme

it took more than 2 months for my items to arrive, their customer service is horrid... they wont refund your money and will make excuses and postpone it to the point that you wont be able to do a paypal chargeback (after 45 days)

Really? I've bought things from them in the Past and they usually get to my place in 2 weeks.
 
DX shipping is a mixed bag, sometimes it takes months and sometime days.

I've spent more than $500 in DX items and 90% of the stuff sold as "genuine" are fake. Headphones, portable chargers, flashlights, etc.

Could be, but its only $11. I'm willing to take the risk

You've spent $500 in fake ****? Or did you know that before hand, and just kept coming back because genuine gear is not really a factor for you?

Not trying to bump an old thread, but it looks like the item is gone from their website.. I got a shipping notification for it but they removed the listing
 
This if the official response regarding this from SwitchEasy:

"Deal extreme post real product pictures but ship fake ones.
Products purchased from non authorized retailer are often counterfeit,
re-boxed, defective or gray market goods, which are in some cases
practically identical to genuine SwitchEasy products, are generally of
poor quality and performance.
If you can tell them a deal that is too good to be true, more than
likely it is. Because it's unusually low price compared to the usual
retail price and they will end up with something less than they were
hoping for."

I purchased one, but I'll trash it once I get it. After this debacle along with other things I'm done purchasing cases for my i4.
 
Well, the case came in. Looks real to me, here's a few quick pics from my iPhone
