Anyone seen these yet from China? (http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.169.6a5164&id=20250730167) Seems pretty good for the price.
EDIT: Looks like there are actually two different types, the IMSTO style cases are $155 USD and the less stylised version is $110.
$110

I want that red one :o I may need to find a proxy...

These were made available in a recent group buy. Price doesn't look different considering shipping to the US and proxy fees will probably get added to the base cost.
I recently received my titanium hammer case and put my POKER II in it. Lovely! Absolutely lovely case.
-
Wow the hammer v2 case is cheaper than the groupbuy. by like $20
-
Yeah the $20 difference is probably nothing once you factor in all the proxying, I'm interested to see how the $50 case GB compares to the cheaper option though.

To get it you're looking at 960 Yuan + Taobao agent fees (which usually run anywhere from 5-10%) + Paypal fees generally + international shipping . So you're looking at somewhere around $172-185 or so just to get the case to the agent and an additional $30-40 in shipping, depending on shipping method and weight. I forget what the GB price was shipped, but you're looking at ~$200-220 to buy the case off of Taobao.
Edit: Found the GB again (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=44619.0). It ends up basically being the same price. You may or may not be able to get it a little cheaper, but it would be marginally so. At least with the person who ran the GB here, you know any issues should be made right, that's not always the case with Taobao proxies. I would know.

My relatives just got back from China the other day.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
-
I have just got another case from taobao. USD$178 shipped. I'm from Malaysia anyway, so international shipping is relatively cheap.
-
Which case did you get? I'm in Australia so shipping here from China is quite cheap too...
-
Got the Ti from imsto GB, another silver one from taobao. Both are the diamond cut design.
-
Any issues with the diamond cut cases? At $178 shipped, that's only $3 more than imsto's GB price WITHOUT shipping.
-
