VANS - Waffle Sole, iPhone 4 / 4S case

So here is the low down on this case. Last year around Christmas time (2011), Vans released a limited edition Waffle Sole phone case for the iPhone, in style of their famous sole, on the majority of their trainers. This case proved to be an ultimate hit amongst those lucky enough to get one. So would the hype of the case, bring Vans to create more.

After I got my mother to research for me in London, and go to the Vans store, situated in Carnaby Street, and see if they had it stocked there, I was out of luck. NOWHERE was able to get this case, or stock it, not even on their official website. However the sales assistant had informed my mother that they would get a restock nearer to summer.

So it was just a game of waiting. . . as always.


How awesome is this case please?!?!

The other day, I decided to do some internet research, and see if I could find it anywhere, or if there was any mention from Vans if it was going to be re-released. Turns out a week before my research it had been! I missed out again . . .what an absolute gutter.

Sad thing is, this case was purchased by a load of people who are selling it on eBay for more than what its worth. Even though it is a limited edition number, still people should really consider that other people might want to purchase this at the same rate they bought it. Clearly these people have been waiting for some time for this to arrive back in stock.

Anyways the original retail price is normally $28 / £15, however you can find yourself fighting with bidders and probably paying double the amount if not approx £40 for this case which is nuts I know. I battled for ages with anonymous bidders, until eventually I won one, which set me back a whopping £33, but it's been dispatched and on its way.

What a way to make some extra cash ey! Sell a load of limited edition phone cases. I guarantee knowing my luck, this phone will be available soon in massive bulk and to purchase at any time and I've paid double for it.

Nevermind! I'm still quite excited for it, because for now, I know that not many people over here will have it! So it's something to be quite excited about.

But if you guys are looking to purchase there are a ton of sellers from America, on eBay who are selling these at present! Go get yourselves one pronto! before they go and you wish you had one!!!!

Love A, xXx
