Anyone still using an iPhone 4 or 4s ?

[Card Shark]

Wasn't sure where to put this but if anybody is still using an iPhone 4 or 4s (like me), I came across a great deal on the best phone case I have ever had.

The cases are made by a company called Element. This is a link to their website.

Element Case - iPhone Case and iPad Accessories

These are the highest quality cases I have ever had. They are very pricey, however, they are no longer producing them for the iPhone 4, they are focusing on the iPhone 5 now. The are selling off old stock and cases that did not pass their inspection or were used for demonstration purposes at great prices. This is their outlet on eBay.

They also have some new stock left over at a discount here...

iPhone 4/4S

I ordered a Vapor Pro Flux case from the outlet store (it was grade 5 by their chart) and it arrived in perfect condition. I also ordered the suede backing from their remaining stock on the home site. I absolutely love the case. I would post a picture but will need to use another camera.

The only thing I would caution about is that due to the original high prices and the popularity of the cases, there are a lot of cheap counterfeits out there. A friend of mine ordered one of those and it looked similar but the quality was not even close.

The iPhone 5 cases look amazing on their site and they will give you an idea of what the iPhone 4 cases originally retailed for.

The inventory changes constantly on their outlet site. I kept watching until a Black and Gold one came available (Go Steelers ).

I've got an iPhone 4, and an Element brand Black Ops case last year, which has been excellent.

Didn't pay anything like $60-100 it used to sell for. Searching for 2 days on eBay, I got it for less than $40 delivered, in box, new.

I ordered one of the Black Ops ones from that very seller. Turned out to be an imitation, a very good imitation though. I contacted the seller and he refunded half of my purchase price. The fakes are not easy to tell until you have a real one. The embossing on the box is different, the real ones never came with a certificate of authenticity, the logos on the frame are etched not painted, and the backing on the fakes are usually 3M, Element does not use 3M. The true element suede backing is much more plush and comes with a card that you can put it on to save to use again if you decide to switch out backs.

His was an extremely good fake though so we decided he would refund half my purchase price and I kept it and then gave it to a friend of mine. He loves the case. I had it on my phone for awhile before my real one came in and must admit it was really nice.

I also ordered a hardwood front and back, as wells as a black carbon fiber back. They are all really nice.

I no longer have the iPhone, I have "upgraded" to Android
I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 now but anyways, I have always liked the Otterbox Defender cases for my phones.
I had them for my iPhones and have it now for my S3 as well.
It is a very heavy duty case and keeps the phone protected very well...I have dropped my phones several times and they never got a scratch.
I also have them for our iPads.

I was using the Otterbox Defender as well. I think they are amazing for protection. I just felt like it made my phone too big and clunky. When I was selling cars I had to keep my phone on my belt and inevitably getting in and out of cars it would get banged around. Now that I am in more of an office job I just keep my phone in my coat pocket and wanted something slimmer.

I ordered one of the Black Ops ones from that very seller. .

Just to be clear - mine didn't come from this Seller - I got it locally and was able to check the bona-fides before purchase.

They are excellent cases. I would love to get one of the Ronin cases if I ever upgraded to an iPhone 5. Doubt I will though, nothing about the 5 makes me want to change my phone.

Here is a link to Elements counterfeit warning...

It did bother me a little that after pointing out to that eBay seller that his cases were counterfeits, he responded by apologizing and claiming he had no idea and appreciated me pointing out the fact. However he is still selling them as Element cases.
