Dummy Iphone 5 uk seller?

[adamctid]

does anyone know where I can get a dummy IPhone 5 1:1 scale from the UK please?
I need it pretty sharpish and the only ones I can find are from China.

This is a UK seller in Portsmouth, I used him before and was quite quick:

cheers mate, it's the actual fake phone I'm looking for though, for using once they're out of the machine.

Oh, sorry, I didn't even realise that was a thing, what would you use that for? (I just mean what type of situations)?

[adamctid]

no probs pal. I use them to when I take them out to ensure the shaping is correct, I pop it on and into cold water, I have problems with the iPhone 5 cases they tend to bend up at the corners and not fit properly, all other cases work perfectly.

How do you cool them mate?

If your i5 cases are bending at the corners, there's something wrong with your cases. Who manufactured them? I've gone through maybe 350 of the 500 that I bought and haven't had a single problem with them; it's the ones with a large Bestsub 'B' embossed on the inside. All perfect, very sturdy and not flexible in the slightest.

Could you not use a mould that they use in the vacuum presses?

My guess is that the jigs are already being used to create the cases, so they'd be far too hot to use for cooling purposes. There's a size difference, too. The jigs are made to fit cold cases but they change size when they're heated in the press, and likely wouldn't fit on a phone if you used the jig to cool the case. That said, I haven't tried, as I've always used dummy phones for cooling.

I got them from a Chinese supplier, all the others from them have been fine, it's when they are cooling they contract which causes the size problem. where did you get yours from please Arty?
