    Hi Folks,

    Does anyone know of an Irish or European stockist of the Element cases? (http://www.elementcase.com/) I'd order from them directly but the $30 FedEx shipping is a tad excessive especially if I could support somewhere closer to home.

    Failing that, anyone have a similar recommendation? Not interested in OtterBox.

    Have you tried eBay? I got one for my 4s on it last year.

    Paranoid about clones as they are a very nice case. The official eBay page is the same price. If if I have to I'll buy from them, just wouldn't be ideal as $30 is alot for shipping a small item.

    Best steer well clear of them in my opinion.

    Reception wasn't as good with the case on.

    Why would anybody consider spending $180 for a phone case, seriously?

    I appreciate the craftsmanship and design of it but the iON5 is $49. I wouldn't even dream of the higher end models, a tad on the ridiculous side.

    I ordered a LifeProof (http://www.lifeproof.com/) case instead this morning. Granted it was a little more expensive but the reviews seem pretty positive. Got the GPS holder as well. Replacing a iPhone 4 Trident Exoskeleton case that I got in the US last year (Great pieces of kit)

    Have three Element Cases all bought on-line through Amazon. The cases can take a knock or two but so do all other cases. Two of mine eventually broke, at the area where the screws connect the two parts of the case. The other case suffocated the reception. I would not get these cases again. They are not worth it. Just insure the phone or get a cheap case!
