Getting my hands on Akiba case.

Hi guys, I've seen a whole bunch of you guys talking about the Akiba bumper cases, and it looks like it's the best of the bunch.
Unfortunately it seems almost impossible to use any of the Taiwanese websites to order one from Canada.
Could anyone point me in the right direction in looking for one? Maybe some websites I don't know about?

Current prices for the Akiba Slider iPhone 4 cases are $60 each, so don;t expect a huge drop in price on eBay

I just picked up two as well. Paid shipping and tax. Didn't even use a credit card just had them charge it to my account.

I'm getting generic credit card errors. I have a feeling they are blocking the items.

How did you do that?

Thanks for the heads up, I couldn't find these cases anywhere locally. I just picked up 4 for me and my son. 2 Flex, 2 hard. These are $30 cases and all I paid was $5.99 shipping. Sweet deal.

Good stuff. Thanks!

Crap! Looks like I missed out on it! They're back to the normal price, and showing the $0.00 struckthrough next to it... Those of you who caught it were some lucky bastards.

They're back to the normal price...

HAHA, glad i decided to check the forum early! just ordered 3 for myself!! like 5 mins ago.

Just ordered mine. Bought 3 for only $5.95 shipping

Love you.

Do you have the brushed aluminum barely there in black?
Transmission sent from a Galaxy S II with XDA Premium

yes I also want to know about the Black Brushed aluminum. I have ordered one before and they contacted me and said they didn't have black so I canceled my order as I didn't want silver.

Sorry guys - we only have the Barely There in Black, Pink and White and the Brushed Aluminum in Silver. We are also getting the Pop! Series in Black, Pink and White as well.

Just ordered this from the Casemate website, flat black, with the FB coupon code for 20% off and free shipping.
$19.99 for this case, not horrible. And I trust Casemates actual site a little bit more. Guess we'll see.

PRICE DROP! Now down to $19.99 with Free Shipping! And what about that coupon code too? Hmmmmmmmm

I can confirm "fblike20" will get you 5 bucks off and free shipping on the official casemate site. Just bought the barely there in white. I loved this case on my vibrant.

Review generic otterbox clone

Got this off Ebay for $8.88 shipping included. Works great makes function buttons a little harder to use. But overall for $9.00 bucks this is as good or better than otterbox.
Also has kickstand on back cover
Seller shipped fast. They are currently sold out but I posted the link for reference. http://www.ebay.com/itm/220967361850#ht_2947wt_952

I wouldn't really call them an Otterbox "clone" when these were out long before the Otterbox cases were.

US $108.88

what a steal! :d

I think they did that to the price so people don't buy them since they are sold out. Don't know why they wouldn't just take the listing down.
Looks like it's just the blue that's sold out, they jave them in other colors for $8.88.

Replica official Nexus 4 Bumper for Nexus 5

I found this on Amazon, it's a Nexus 5 bumper, that's a replica of the official Nexus 4 bumper:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JBU27WO
Has anyone here tried this case yet?

If it wasn't $23 I would go for it. That's too expensive for a bumper.

Looks awesome. I would certainly buy it, but since its a replica, its not worth the $20 to produce hence it wont last as long as I would like it to.

Overprice. Another month and it gonna be around $10

Its all over aliexpress for much cheaper. Like $3.50 to $15 depending on the seller and how many you buy. There do seem to be different kinds of bumpers on there for the nexus 5, and the nexus 4 clone is the more expensive one.

Looks like the price has gone down to $12.99 before shipping now. Was going to order one from Aliexpress, but maybe I'll get this one now.

If you could point me to a link where it's $3.50, then I'd bite. I'm not seeing anything that low on aliexpress, even with multiples.

The $3.50 one is a different style bumper. The Nexus 4 lookalike bumper is around $11-13.

Can't wait to see a review for this one.

I don't think replicas are worth being over $10 before shipping. With it being a bumper and not a case, even more so.
For me, $8 - $9 with shipping included is probably the highest I'd go.

I got this in the mail from the amazon seller today. I'm very impressed with it. The buttons feel great and the texture on the rubbery parts is very grippy.

Sure why not? This color is only 10.99 + 1.99 shipping from that guy. Came in like 2-3 days. Feels nice and adds barely any weight.

EDIT: okay I feel dumb. I could have sworn there was an eBay reference, but you clearly got this from the original Amazon seller in the OP. I'm just not on the ball today. Sorry!

Does the phone sit flat? Ie the camera bump doesn't hit table first and make it wobble.
Thanks! I'm interested for sure.
