Is it the 0.2 mm TPU Soft Case selling at US$3.68, that comes with a screen protector?

The case came in this simple packaging:

Despite feeling thinner in the hands, the case is not as translucent as the Desmay case:

More comparison:

It's also much flimsier than the Desmay case:

The case has a bigger camera hole compared to the Desmay case and not as translucent:

You can see the sides of the cheap case was damaged via the way here (or not?) and the cut out of the volume buttons are simpler. If you are going to get this case, please use a skin if not dirt and dust can very easily slip in:

Here you can see that the cheap case has a better finishing than the Desmay case:

And no the case does not come with screen protector and is a little lose at both ends of the bottom case.

Here is the link from ebay if you want to consider getting it.

For those who ordered the EC Sector 5 outside of the order invite (like me), check this out. Saw this comment from EC on their site Sector 5 Update – iPhone 5 Case Production and Image Update | Element Case News



Not contacted yet. :(

My order put shipping out on 25th Oct, and I just got the invite that says shipping out 8th Nov. Lol.. Didn't want to wait for them to contact me, so I just placed a query with their customer service. Their CSOs reply quite fast.

so gt fight with desmay? win or lose?

Desmay pros:
- sturdier
- better drop absorber
- camera hole smaller
- individual volume button cutouts
- more translucent
- better packaging to protect case
- fits the phone better

Desmay cons:
- too expensive
- poor finishing
- orders very limited

Cheap case pros:
- compatible with skin
- thinner
- much cheaper
- better finishing
- easily available

Cheap case cons:
- package doesn't protect case
- cut outs too big
- doesn't grip the phone well

You go make your own judgement call? :)

But I will use the cheap case after i reGmask the sides since my one month warranty is not up yet. I tore away the sides because the Desmay case grips it too well. :s13:

Never use coupons? Too ex la S$21+. I bought the same thing for my friend...


S$15.90 only. :s13:

well, maybe you would like to share where you get it at $15.90? since it would benefit more people here.

i wouldn't mind if price difference is not huge, considering if it is from a shop, we would have to pay for petrol, parking and stuffs just to get there to buy it.

for those who are interested, you can find it here. but now there are few more sellers on gmarket selling the same thing now with difference of few dollars.

Coupons. I already mentioned a lot of times.

Cart discount - S$5.

Also there are various other discounts in Qoo10. That is what makes Qoo10 shopping attractive. It's the coupons.

The diagram on the package shows the back protector as 1 piece type while you actually get 3 pieces?

yes it is actually the 3 pieces one, exactly the same one you get if you buy the SGP Neo Hybrid Bumper.

i only use the side protectors since i am already using HUGu Glexible on the front and also the same SGP Crystal Mix that came with the Neo Hybrid.

review say it works flawlessly, the issues i am having with most cases is the oversize plugs of my shure IEMs. changing the cable to be ip5 case friendly going to cost me $120. so i rather change the case lol.

Poetic Atmosphere iPhone 5 Case Review

looks like a win for me if its fits my shure IEMs this one is gold. raise edge and all.
i believe i shared pictures of the atmosphere case some pages back. definitely 1 of the best cheap cases out there.

like what all singaporeans love the most, CHEAP & GOOD. :)

but the shure iem heads are known to be huge. doubt will fit in nicely.

maybe because the Chinese made it too cheap. so a similar case like the desmay cost way too much to justify :)

now imagine a world without china. lol.

from ebay
Oh thanks. But yours is not the same case I ordered from eBay. My order is for a 0.2 mm thin TPU soft case that comes with a screen protector, priced at US$3.68.
Still waiting for its arrival!
