Which Country's Viva? Surely not the FutureShop version
Need to get rid of that then ASAP

At least it seems to have no Infos printed to the back

I'll take my super high gloss, Future Shop Viva over this steel any day...!!!

Future Shop Viva is the King of all Vivas. In fact I rate it top 5 metal cases of all time.

if it wasnt for the cheap quality it wouldve looked better than the viva artworkwise :-/

I take it you don't have the FS one.

There is a reason why the FS goes for $200 or more.

I agree but the Taiwan and Hong Kong John Carter VMBs give it a good run.

Am I the only one that likes the look of this? Granted there's no inside art, but at least there's back art instead of printed info.

I really think the FS version is in a different league altogether. The color of it is so intense.

I never understood the appeal of the JC FS UNTIL I SAW IT IN HAND!! A WORK OF ART, INSIDE AND OUT AND THE BACK COVER ILLUSION EFFECT! I MUST OWN THAT VERSION ONE DAY!

It's not bad especially if you dont own any of the VMBs. Just measuring up to the FS it doesn't fair well in comparision.

If this were the only metal case available I would be ecstatic by this release. It being the worst of the cases available has me feeling very meh about it.

DE - John Carter

Not a matte finish. Its a satin / low sheen gloss finish with clear finish lacquer with spot gloss title and John character. Clear finish metallic red logo on rear.

This steelbook is really really smooth. Its not matte like others I've posted today. I'm really impressed with this one. The black border even has red particles sprayed into the paintwork. I've tried to show the amazing finish on this with as many photos as possible. See for yourself. I think you'll be impressed too.

All images can be clicked on for a closer view. They are all high res and can be viewed at full scale.

Below are shots to help show the finishing on the steel.
