Also qualifies for BING Cashback (I think it's like 5%)

Original Thread: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=252608

Pros:
- Color is pretty much identical
- Manual clips hold the manual more firm than a normal case
- Disc is easier to get out as it has the "push button" release

Cons:
- Spine edge of case is matte finish. It if more rough to the touch. There are a few legit 360 cases that are similar but normally they are smooth.
- Case is harder to open. It makes a "click" sound instead of the normal "thud" of a legit case.
- Disc is harder to get IN to the case. It has the push button release but you have to push pretty firm to get it in.
- Case feels a bit cheap. Not that bad when the game is in the case, but it is noticeable.

Overall I am happy-ish with the cases. Can't really complain for the price and they will be a good replacement for broken cases or ones you get from the store that have stickers + security stuff on them.

Overall I give them a 7.5 / 10

He's got some pics of them too...

For anyone in Australia who needs some replacement 360 cases, ShoppingSquare have some.

http://www.shoppingsquare.com.au/p_13962_XB3__Game_Case__Green

$0.82 each, and you can only buy a maximum of 10 in each order. You can find out postage from the shopping cart screen.

I bought 10 last week, as they had a free shipping deal on them. They arrived today.

I'd say the pros and cons are mostly the same as for the cases in the first post on this page, except the first con - these feel and look more like the real ones.

Without measuring, I think the spine might also be 1 or 2 mm thinner.

Definitely worth getting if you have cracked cases or sticker residue all over them.
