Deff Cleave Aero iPhone 5 Bumper Designed In Japan To Look Awesome

What's this? A new and slightly more improved Deff Cleave aluminum bumper case, a.k.a the Draco 5 in North America. It's an unreleased Japanese model that'll soon be available world wide. The Cleave Aero by Deff is the same three-dimensional and insanely curvy CNC machined aluminum bumper as the Draco 5, with one difference in that it features a TPU bumper on the inside that'll provide better shock-absorption and complete isolation from metal on metal contact. Each Cleave Aero comes with one red and one gray thin inner TPU bumper that you can see forms a parameter around the front and back sides of the iPhone 5 while also serving as the Aero's volume and power buttons. Gone are the integrated metal buttons and the silent switch. Deff claims the new design of the Aero will not interfere with signal reception.

It's an interesting new look for the Cleave and soon to be Draco Aero that will let users color-customize their bumper straight out of the box. There will only be two color options including a white colored Aero called the Luxury that features a glossy powder-coat finish that closely resembles that of a car's paint finish, and a matte anodized black Aero dubbed the Dark Knight. As for price, the Aero will go for around $90 when released in North America.

Element Case Sector 5 Replica iPhone 5 Bumper Sells For Under $40

Element Case's $140 premium aluminum machined Sector 5 bumper for the iPhone 5 has found itself in the hands of the Chinese knock-off case mafia. If you've always wanted to grab yourself a Sector 5 but couldn't bare the thought of dropping down a cool $140, this Sector 5 Aviation aluminum bumper replica is nearly an exact copy that now sells for just under $40; and it features the same Multi-Link functional design for one screw installation. And best of all, it's available in multiple color options.

Don't expect the Sector 5 knock-off to have the same superb fit and finish as the original one, but mind you the price is without a doubt right. By the looks of it, the Sector 5 Aviation replica does not come with a suede back plate to protect the back side of your iPhone 5.
