Magpul Field case for 5s Review

www.lapolicegear.com has them in stock and ships to Canada. I don't know what they charge for shipping, though.
A word of caution:
According to Magpul eBay is full of counterfeits. I don't mind paying full price from an authorized dealer for the assurance it's real. It's not a very expensive case to begin with. Heck, it's better than cases costing three times their MSRP.

I have to agree. Ive bought a few cases after magpul, and I still keep coming back. I like how its rugged but thin.
Anway, good review OP. Very nice pics as well.
Just play it safe and order from either magpul, lapolicegear, midway USA or brownells. Forget about amazon. It's not worth the risk just to save an extra $4-6.
I know there are many counterfeits of their rifle products (mbus, ctr, ubr) so it wouldn't surprise me if there were also counterfeits of their iPhone cases too. Your best bet is to buy from an actual Magpul dealer like those listed by Dascoyne above.
I picked mine up at a local gun store so that's always another option if you don't want to order online.
I dunno what to tell you, I bought 4 cases from action gear in two separate orders. The link I posted brings you right to the case they are selling. They have all colors except black at the moment. So, when I check out, I put in my address, well its already there, saved when I log in. cost of shipping is like $3.
Dunno what your doing wrong. Anyway, action gear is a sell of gun accessories and the sort, so the magpul's are authentic.
here is the link directly to action gears sellers page. Shipping for me is $3.25

OK, I couldn't stand it any more. I should have ordered Thursday when the price was only $12. Instead I paid $15 today plus another $3.99 so I'd get it by Monday. I told my wife she could have the Apple leather case, which she really likes. We have two of those vent clips already and it looks like I'll probably be ordering one of those 10' Monoprice cables since my daughter broke yet another 3' Apple lightning cable. She keeps stretching and twisting them trying to text while she has her phone charging. I told her she's paying for them from this point on.
I'm trying to help you out here, Im not claiming some company ships to Canada if they really don't. I don't know your address, so whats the point of posting that screen shot. Here is what I get....
Hah!
Not sure why it didn't select Action Gear from the link but I figured it out.
Thanks!
Grabbed one if these off of amazon after reading the review. While it wish the case was slightly softer, overall it's my favorite TPU case at the moment. Love the fit. This is a great alternative to the speck pixelskin hd.
I'm sure someone along the way asked to see a photo of this combo. Are you able to post a picture of this?
My only camera is my iphone but i took some pictures using my webcam on my macbook lol

I had the Spigen Tough Armor case for my 5s, but didn't like the buttons at all (way too big and didn't provide any tactile feedback especially for the sleep/wake button....don't know why this bothers me but it does).
I decided to try the Magpul field case in foliage green for my phone and I love it! Tactile feedback isn't too great for the sleep/wake button but it's better than the Spigen case for sure. Ordered from Amazon like many here and for only around $11 I might get a couple more colors so I can change them out from time to time. I'm glad I read some of these review threads here.

Well, for some reason my case didn't ship until this afternoon so it looks like I'll get it tomorrow. At least Amazon is refunding the extra $3.99 I paid for shipping.
