    How about griffin reveal, sold for $24.99 in America. Ireland €24.99 :mad:

    I got a friend to buy it from the American Apple web store and then he ships it to me. Works out €10 cheaper than if I bought it from Apple Ireland.:pac:

    You do know there is shipping costs involved?

    Fine I will do the work for you.

    Apple Ireland, Reveal €24.99+€6.90 shipping+vat=€33.33
    Amazon.co.uk, Reveal £16.95+£13.20 shipping=€36.25
    Apple US, Reveal $24.99+ local tax+$4 shipping+$7 shipping to me=$37=€26

    OH yeah €7...whatever :P

    Similar situation myself... Wanted the case linked below:

    http://store.apple.com/ie/product/TQ298LL/A?mco=NDc2NjgzNw

    €29.99 on Apple store (38.33 including shipping), i got it delivered from the Sena site based in the US for about €28 with Fedex Priority shipping.

    So as a warning dont just buy from the Apple store, shop around.
