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.
