dealextreme now has clear cases in stock for the slim!!!
-
I just ordered mine on ebay for 31.xx :( I should of waited! Good Find though!!!!
-
lol I was checking there yesterday to see if they sell them yet....Not bad price either :tup:
-
im definately going to buy it when i get the money. hope its pretty good quality
-
Lets just hope there not like the rest of the DealExtreme case's. Please no
-
Think i'm gonna get the one from coolmods. Had no problem with there cases and i trust there quilty.
-
i tell you guys a secret.....
All the clear cases is from the same factory....doesnt matter if you buy them from coolmods/ebay or dealextreme
-
That secret could jeopardize Coolmods sales, I'm not fond of Clear case's anyway
-

is that really true?? wow good thing i get mine from deal extreme for 20 instead of collmods 50 :) but deal extremes shipping sucks lol

Wow, thanks for the advice dude! Thats mental. :wacko:

Not sure but....the finishing on the back of the dx case seems to be more frosted and translucent(instead of crystal clear) than the coolmods one
-
nope, its true, just DX ones have sony printing on them, Coolmods does not, still made in same factory though.
-
wow, y does coolmods charge so much then?? :dntknw: it makes no sence :tup:

fast shipping
and dealextreme is probably near the factory so they don't pay so much shipping cost which coolmods does have to pay since they are shipping to the uk and then within 2 a 3 days to your house
-
ya, but a full case is 39.70 and shipping is 12.__ so it is 52.27 with shipping. They should make it so you can have cheaper shipping lol.
-
Guys, Deda is wrong, They aren't made in the Same factory, CM has the factory in UK
-
Anyway's I would trust Coolmods as there cases are always better quality. It seems that the faceplate that comes with the Dealextreme one is the same that they sell separately... Which is total :censored:. I had to break my PSP Slim's trim to get it off because I had to screw it in hard to get the analogue stick to fit over the face plate. I ordered a new trim and will be ordering the Coolmods clear case as I trust them more.
-

NOOOOooo! if i knew that i would have got one from Coolmods. Lameness! Oh well, at least i'll be getting a case.
-
plus the coolmods guys have to deel with the higher uk prices of everything including shiping and then there is all the taxes and vat etc. like the cheepest shipin internationally from the uk is for a small envelope is like £5 last i remember.
-
Plus customes in UK is a beast, and there practically is no customs in China and Korea
-
The customs over in some of the Asian countries are very poor, in Australia it is illegal to ship mod chips into the countries and I ordered about 20 R4's and they got through customs because on the Deal Extreme Package slip on the front said they where "LED Flashlight" so they got through and I'm happy :laughing:
-
i was about to order them last week
anyone can comment about its quality? i really don't feel like having to trim the case
can anyone comment on the coolmods one too? does it fit perfectly?
-

Yep, this is true, i remember, when I ordered a pocket swiss army knife from dx, and because it would say 'knife' on the packaging, it got stopped by customs, although If i sent a package to hong kong with a clear label saying 'Bomb, Sudden Shocks Will Detonate', it will probaly still get through

That's so true! I totally agree..

Yes it fits perfectly..
Once again, I would like to diffuse this Ever so Popular Rumor, They Are NOT from the same factory, Coolmods has theirs made in House in Britain. Yes they are more expensive due to shipping and really harsh Customs Offices. Also all their products are guaranteed and individually tested for quality.
Also I'd like to Add that Coolmods Pioneered the Clear Case, there were faceplates but not cases.. So DX and all other Chinese companies have been Ripping off Coolmods.. But because Coolmods is the true Modders Advocate a new feature will soon be released that is geared directly for Modders.
on that note, my tut has been finished but I still have to edit the pics. It's alot of pics guys...
Linkage!

I've been told it takes 7-10 dyas which isn't too bad but i wish i'd bought one from coolmods. looks better.
-
Yeah, Coolmods will always have superior cases, but this is a good option for multiple cases because their cheap. If your buying one, I'd recommend Coolmods
-
Just got my new case from DX. Got to say, it looks really good! has all the sony logo's and comes with a good set of buttons. Just need another slim to put it in. Here's some pic's of it. you can't really see, but it's completely clear.

:rofl: i lamoed for a while when i read that
-
Actually most of them do speak English, its a second language there, lmao
-
So is the cases from coolmods and DX the same?
-
The cases at coolmods are made in the UK and the one's at DX are made in china. apart from that i can't see a difference. ogt the DX one and a mate where i live has the coolmods version. You can't tell the difference between them at all.
-
so no difference at all... thats so good to hear...

I've found a couple issues while rebuilding my PSP Slim with this case. It may just be the integrity of my case alone, but I just wanted to throw out some of the things you may run into: The hinge for the UMD door on mine was not placed correctly, causing a larger gap between the case and the UMD door than usual. This discrepancy causes the UMD to pop open and not stay shut. I'll probably end up using a homemade mechanism llike "velcro" or "duct tape" to keep it closed for convenience. Second, for some this may not be an issue, but the analog stick may not center right with the case. The analog stick can be pushed farther left than right, but I'm sure you can adjust it to make it work. These are the only problems I've had so far with my case, but different or no problems will probably be found in others. It still was a pretty sweet case.
