I HATE waiting for stuff so I just wanted to see if you guys had any feedback on them? I want to order a couple Sportiva cases for my iPhone but and worried about shipping since then seem to be based out of the UK.

If anybody has this case feedback would also be appreciated, I have seen a couple good reviews on them.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I bought 2 cases which cost over £40. What I received from Hong Kong (not the UK) was 2 cheap plastic, poorly made cases. I used one of them for about a week and the outer coating started to peel off. I complained about this as well as the poor molding on the other case and was given the run around from customer services.

I tried to file a claim via PayPal which failed as they only cover the non-receipt of goods, not the quality.

I accepted a replacement offer (after having to submit photos) and as soon as I did they deleted the claim and customer service history and told me I could have a couple of cloth pouches if I paid £9 for shipping.

TERRIBLE RIP OFF. I'm out £40 and these folks in Hong Kong are laughing. If Dealsniper was a bug I would squish it between my two fingers...

Was going to say that these look to be standard issue knockoff pieces from China. I can guarantee they did not pay more than $2USD per piece, and you're paying almost $20.

If you're looking for a cheaper Switcheasy Rebel, the "sportiva" is not the same, both the spine and the shell are the same medium density plastic, there is no grippy silicone shell.

But you can get the exact same thing on eBay from any number of sellers if the material is something you don't mind.
