it retails for $80+ but aliexpress (knock off) costs half the price with shipping included.

Has anyone bought from this seller before? i really like the look of this case.

Look good.
 
yes this sleek aesthetic design is just darn ugly...

I think is ugly too, but that's why we each have our own tastes. Also, all metal cases affect the reception negatively in case you didn't know before dropping $.

Might just be the ugliest 80$ case I've ever seen. Not to mention it has to affect signal latency , no matter what they say.
 

anybody who says this case is hideous must think the iphone itself is hideous too because the case is very much in line with the original aesthetic of the phone. #tryharder

the type of case you like is an otterbox.
go away
 
Looks like someone's first day on CNC machining. The case looks handicap, stop defending it because apparently you have some sort of stock in it.
 
Why is there a huge opening below the volume controls? And I do not like the opening for the sim card. The less openings the better.
 
I'd like to reiterate again that the case looks like $80 worth of aids infested homeless diarrhea.
 
This case will have the flash issue..... oh and its ugly.

What is this an Ad for the case, time to get banned.
 
hey, OP...look up the Abee type 2 case. I have one of those..that I no longer use. It KILLS the signal. Kills it.

If you google the Abee case, you will notice that it looks remarkably similar in terms of how much it covers the iPhone to the case you like.

If you want a slick, minimal case that has Zero affect upon signal..google the Alcase.
 
It looks ugly and the huge "4th" engraving on the case destroys any hope for this case to be likable.

How is this case "very much in line with the original aesthetic of the phone"?

This case is the exact opposite of an iPhone. It's too busy, ugly, and it definitely not as precise and clean as the iPhone.

Ok I have no idea what the otter box comment is all about but listen ,,, when you post some thread about a case EXPECT PEOPLE'S OPINIONS!!!! It's ugly and too expensive that's my opinion if you don't like it sign off ;)

Not sure what iPhone you have, but my 4S doesn't have large metal bumps sticking out from the corners and sides.

By the way, this isn't Twitter.

You can't post a thread on a forum bearing the title "Wow, this case is beautiful" and expect to get anyone posting saying it's ugly.

SERIOUSLY - I like the expensive classy leather cases and some of the acrylic design cases - but COME ON - THIS CASE IS ONE OF THE UGLIEST IPHONE CASES I've ever seen :eek:

I own a leather case from Vaja and one from Pielframa - both cost over $150, this is the saddest acrylic monster $80 case for an iPhone that I have ever seen !

UGLY CASE No. One!
