look at post 4. I got this casing when i bought my 2G iPhone. The casing fully protects the iPhone. isell a good seller and a good friend of mine.

i think the major disadvantage of Colors is it tend to stick dusts and lint. got mine in Stealth Black also and i have to clean it everyday. plus, the minor rubber frame issue too. but in other ways, it's a really good case. slim & solid.

currently using Rebel Tiger and will do a short review of it after CNY.

Thanks bro davidgary73. Will have a look there.

Does anyone know if there are any local retailers who have the Incipio Feather case for iP3G? (I know someone asked in the previous thread, but I don't recall seeing an answer)

Or if not that specific brand, I had a friend come back from Singapore with a back-cover very similar to the Incipio in terms of form and function, but it was cool because it duplicates the look of the back portion of the iPhone...aka: It's a back cover that clamps on to the iPhone, and looks exactly like the back part of the iPhone.

Anyone know where I can get that?

(Please let me know if I am making sense/need to clarify).

will a 3G case work on 2G?

specifically this one

http://www.theboomwave.com/shop/modules/sh...tails.php?id=87

I dont think so.

2G cases are getting rarer nowadays. Im searching for the incase slider, preferably white. Searched high and low, but couldnt find it. Any idea guys?

http://www.goincase.com/products/detail/slider-case-cl59044

since most case and screen protectors don't protect the Home button, does it also get scratched easily?

Even if it does get scratched, you cant see it close enough to warrant worrying about it. Trust me, you dont want to sover the Home button, all you get after use is crumpled piece of plastic, the curved surface does not hold well for covering with anything, just like the sides of the iPhone. Plus, you handle and use the Home button the most often compared to the other parts of the iPhone, so it would get worn out the fastest if you try and protect it with plastic coverings. Best leave it as it is.

you have a point.

at the moment i am using SwitchEasy Colors which covers the home buttons with a plastic button of its own. and it doesn't feel too good to press.

i recently bought SwitchEasy CapsuleRebel Serpent and am totally disappointed with it. i am not sure if this has to do with the gelaskin i have on my iphone but i couldn't get the Rebel to completely cover the chrome area.

so now i am back to Colors while i consider another case, most probably Griffin's Clarifi.

Yea i totally agree with atomica...i have a rebel serpent also but it seems not to cover fully the chrome area + saggy bottom is there after 2 weeks...

SwitchEasy CapsuleRebel Serpent?
whoa.
can u make a review?
and post some pics?
i really dont trust the pics from the official websites.
they make their products look good.
it's all about marketing

For : 3G
Price : US39.95

i got myself a SwitchEasy Rebel Tiger too one week ago and i'm disappointed with it as well. the saggy issue might not be as bad as those in Serpent, Black or Artic but it does not covers the bottom chrome bezel fully as well. heck it even caused dusts and small particles to scratch it. it wasn't scratched when i'm on Colors.

going to order Griffin Clarifi after this.

i'm using incase slider for iphone 3g....
love it man...really nice n cool...covered with invisible shiels...

i already warn u about that issue from the previous thread teikwing. now i'm using capsule neo much better than rebel itself.
