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

yeah i know but i thought the saggy issue only exist on specific colors of Rebel but guess i was wrong. sad.gif anyway, won't Neo's thin silicone skin seems vulnerable to tear apart when fixing it on iPhone? it seems to be so fragile. blink.gif

yea but seeing itsmemorphius on YouTube torn his silicone skin abit makes me kinda afraid to try it on my own. sweat.gif plus, i wanted something less complicated to install and different than my ex-Rebel. planning to get Clarifi but its back part has a glossy area so i guess it would be easily scratch and black looks kinda dull to me. although the macro lens is really really tempting. drool.gif

got myself a Griffin iClear from Machines @ RM98 today. currently my favorite casing. the front crystal sides protects the chrome bezel but it's transparent so the chrome can be seen, looks kinda classy. plus the back part is milky half-transparent so the Apple logo still can be seen, and it's somewhat scratch-proof. really satisfied with it. thumbup.gif

but i agree that Neo and Rebel offers the best shock protection still. hopefully my iClear won't break into two pieces upon dropping on the ground. the back part is kinda hard and thick actually. laugh.gif


by the way, i have invested in 3 cases (Colors, Rebel, iClear) in less than 2 months after getting my iPhone. kinda broke. doh.gif

p/s : from my observation and visits, i think Machines have the most selection for iPhone cases. been to Midvalley's, Sunway's and Lot 10's. smile.gif

3G iPhone Casing: Griffin iClear

Price: RM98 @ Machines

Package includes: iClear Case, 1 x Screen Protector, Microfiber Cloth

Rating: 9.5/10

Pros:
Solid crystal frame protecting chrome bezel, transparent.
Tough hard back case, milky semi-transparent, showing Apple's logo.
Maintain iPhone's sleek & slim profile, not bulky.

Cons:
Dusts tend to stick to inside of crystal frame.
No protection for volume buttons, sleep on/off button and charging port.


Comments: IMO, it looks classy. Offers good protection and for the kind of protection it offers, the price is quite reasonable. smile.gif

2G iPhone Casing: Cozip
Price: RM80 + free screen protector
Rating: 8/10
Pro: Nice rubberish material gives you a good feel and grip, Does not make the phone bulky
Cons: Less protection for the top part of the phone
Comments: It looks good and it does not cover the apple logo at the back (people can know you are using Iphone brows.gif ), suitable for those that prefer their Iphone not that bulky

@=Hanxz=
bro..that's a very saggy Rebel you had there! no wonder you're complaining. hehe. tongue.gif

my Tiger isn't that bad. just a slight sag. will do a feedback on the iClear after some time. so far i'm really satisfied with it. thumbup.gif


@pelvin
i think it's as thick or slightly thicker than Cozip. not sure about SGP. and it's definitely less bulky than Rebel. nice to hold (coz it's slimmer) and the back part is not prone to scratches so i can just leave it on any surface. plus the Apple logo is visible.

planning to get SGP or Cozip too since they're kinda slim but i need something which can protect the chrome bezel as well. smile.gif

About the saggy issues and white neo getting dirty I mailed zlotan and he agreed to give me a replacement of the outer case for my serpent and a black I frame for replacement. I send them pictures as proof of defect and purchase. Maybe you can try this too. They mailed me the item a week ago with tracking number using USPS it yet to reach me coz they send by slow post but its FREE of charge ^^ so maybe you can try mate

@pelvin
you have got it? sorry for poisoning you. biggrin.gif

surprisingly mine the dusts doesn't stick to the back of the phone since there's hardly any gap between the phone and the case for the back part. dusts and small particles just can be seen around the chrome bezel area. but minimal. i only clean it once awhile when i can't stand the dirt. afraid that frequent dismantling of the case will cause it to be loose. smile.gif

@juDas_x
nope. i'm looking for that too previously. you might wanna get it from Amazon, eBay or Singapore.
