Cool chinese knock off iPhone cases on the cheap
« on: Wed, 25 January 2012, 12:30:39 »
Hey guys about a month ago I got a iPhone 4s for christmas and decided to start looking for a cool case. I originally saw the element vapor case and thought that it was just amazing, but it was like $150 so it was out of the question. So after a little research I stumbled across this thread on macrumors about knock off vapor cases. So after reading up on that I went to searching for a case on aliexpress.com. Now everyone on that forum had vary different experiences with different sellers some good some bad so for me it was like russian roulette. After much consideration I settled with the seller "Ada Li" and bought a case from them for $8.67 shipped and heres the result.

Here is the picture the seller listed of the case online

An here is the case that I got in the mail

Anyways shipping took almost a month from china but the case is amazing and fits perfectly so good luck and I would definitely recommend purchasing from "Ada Li" as they are great to deal with.

I've seen these knock offs before, and everyone's had great success with em. One thing about the Vapor case in general though, do you notice a drop is signal strength at all?

For $8.67 that's pretty nice, what's the material is the case made of?

That's nuts, well the Chinese are making a killing off of all these phone cases

You should see this Asian mall in Toronto, there's at least 20 stores that ONLY sell phone cases and they make a lot

That's a badass case, I'd get one of those too if I had an iPhone. I wonder if they make anything like that for the Galaxy S2, right now I just have a soft silicone one that I've been quite happy with except that i got sent the wrong colour and for $4 I couldn't be bothered shipping it back for an exchange.

I'm still impartial to Otterbox cases. For $20 (well, $19.89) I have no complaints about its durability, construction, or ability to protect from my stupidity.
