OIS - nCA u21 Review (next to real) ( self )

submitted by kprvwid Warning: 0%

Intro (optional): This has been my primary ID for a year even though it says I'm 22 on it. Never been questioned and I had compared it when I got it to a friends u21, but just recently went back and think it's 1) time for a review and 2) I noticed a lot more flaws I never noticed before. nCA is one of their more popular states and I've previously compared a o21 nCA from OIS to a real and it was impressive, like getting up to ISP (maybe not that good yet but easily any state outside of CA).

Uncertainty factor: High, compared side by side with a real one.

Cost: Got as a review copy and got lazy and forgot to do the review and then a bunch of time passed, and everyone forgot but now I feel bad about skipping it. It was 120 when I got it, but I think it's down to 100, same as o21. I think o21 is better for the money but hey you decide.

Shipping: Don't remember tbh but I've never had an OIS package take longer than 3 weeks (average 2 weeks). Used domestic but not worth it, same time frame.

Photoshop: Cropped differently, but my picture was taken at a closer angle so not much the vendor can do. Shadows behind the ear are way heavier on the real but that depends slightly on the DMV. Photo also looks way more washed out, but that's probably a result of the texture (which I'll get to in the Look and Feel section).

Template: Basically, I’m just going to be describing the pictures so if you want a fat TLDR just skip this paragraph and look at the imgur link. Colorwise, everything is a lot darker and feels like there’s more contrast/saturation. For example, the California text at the top, the bars, the real ID bear. The fonts are also slightly placed differently. See above the picture, driver license is more to the left on the real and is a bit darker. At the bottom, the address and personal description info are a much darker, crisper black (it’s censored but take my word for it) on the real while on the fake it’s a more faded grey. The ghost image is probably the most directly noticeable. The picture is much darker and more sepia as compared to the greyscale on the fake. On to the positive side, all the raised fonts are raised where they should be. The actual blank template looks detailed despite the texture difference. Moving on to the back, it’s much better. The fake is just slightly darker in color and the font is just slightly italicized and thinner on the fake compared to the real.

Look and Feel: Ok so here is where the ID goes from pretty fucking good to “eh might as well get o21”. In California, under 21 IDs are made of a glossy, thicker material, while the over 21 is the thinner, matte Teslin material. I’m assuming OIS is using the same cards for both, so therefore it makes it a bit more unrealistic. If you aren’t in state, it is not a noticeable thing because most states don’t do this so they wouldn’t even think about it on the chance they’ve seen an o21. But I’m just comparing to the original here.

Hologram/OVI/UV: I didn’t get any UV pics with the real but it’s missing a few small details. I don’t remember exactly so I’m gonna check after I post this. UV is a lot less vibrant than the other, along with the OVI on the front. That’s probably just due to the real being pulled out of a wallet more often as I keep mine at home in a drawer a good amount. Size and placement on everything is good, just like o21. Also, there’s embossed text over the photo and the font is slightly too thin and shifted a bit farther left.

Signature: Looks identical to the one I submitted. Real one is very slightly thicker but that depends on the real signature too so it’s fine for me. Shouldn’t ever be a problem.

Scanning: Never had a problem, I’m gonna stop including this section in later reviews unless there’s actually a problem because every ID above 20 bucks should scan.

Conclusion: Damn. They were so close to greatness. I love this ID still, and I don’t think I’ve ever had a bouncer question why I have a vertical. In a college town it might be more realistic because the 21-year-olds aren’t going to bother going home/having it shipped just to get the horizontal ID when the vertical works fine. There’s some pros and cons, but I don’t recommend use in state – otherwise nobody really is going to know. Their o21 that I have from a few months before is phenomenal compared to the real one I’ve seen, so I honestly think if you’re going for the better ID then there’s that.

u might want to re look at your picture again. Be fair and not bias if your going to review. You listed everything wrong with magics iowa review which was good but then say nothing about this one when by your own pictures 50% of the id has the wrong colours but u said nothing but this is a great id. Just be fair , magic and other vendors deserve fair reviews and not ones like this.

I feel like I was fairly critical if you read the template section (it was formatted weird so you might have skipped it). Not only did I mention how the colors were off, but I basically said I’m just gonna be describing the pictures. I wouldn’t have included them if I was trying to be biased because obviously the ID has a bunch of flaws. Sorry you feel like I was unfair especially between vendors just because it was free, I’ll try to be more clear next time. I think I might have mixed “it’s always worked for me” and “good ID”, and that probably implemented some bias by accident. You’re right, vendors deserve fair reviews to help improve their product

All i want to see is reviews being the same for all vendors. u said colours but didnt mention how bad it is. The guy, the stream and the thing in hand are the most important part of this id and the colours on each of those is way off making it bad. I don't mind if u skip that but then skip that kind of details on every review u do. Because if not then reviews mean nothing. Hopefully u now understand and reviews in the future will be the same on all vendors.

u might want to ask them for a new comp as the one on their site is the right colours so yours might of been a mistake

On a quiet Saturday evening, my family decided to try our luck at an online casino. We gathered around the living room, each of us setting up our devices and exploring the https://tortugacasino-france.com casino’s offerings. The range of games was impressive, from interactive live dealer tables to a variety of slots. We were all immediately drawn into the action. My spouse had a particularly lucky streak at the roulette table, turning a modest bet into a significant win. The excitement was palpable as we all gathered around to watch the wheel spin and celebrated the outcome together.

The real highlight of the evening was when the casino’s platform offered a special promotion for community slots. We decided to join in and play together, combining our efforts with other players to hit larger jackpots. The sense of teamwork and shared excitement made the experience even more enjoyable. By the end of the night, we had a collection of small but satisfying wins and a lot of laughter and fun to show for it. It was a wonderful way to spend time together and enjoy a unique experience as a family.
