Anyone ordered from this new company Alumacase?













They just started shipping the cases and have lotsa mixed reviews.

Cons:

1. Slider case which may cause your SP to bubble
2. 2 piece design however manufactured separately
3. Misalignment with the top and bottom piece
4. May experience signal and/or gps loss (like all aluminum cases)
5. No built in sleep/wake button

Pros:

1. No need wait for few months unlike Vapor
2. Priced at USD59.95 with a flat rate of USD10 for international shipping to Malaysia
3. Cool minimalist design

Cool!!

wow, u can even choose the carbon fiber colors. thats cool.

is it just me, or somehow it seems slightly bulky than the vapor..

need some help here dear forumers

did anyone happened to see SGP Neo Hybrid EX (Gunmetal) at any shop around KL/PJ?

been looking for that at Machines Sunway Pyramid, MyBytes Tropicana Mall and Digital Mall but couldn't find it...

anyone?

yeap.. original iphone 4 screen already has oleophobic coating. and its not -all- SP. there's one exception..the SGP Oleophobic, whereby you still have an oleophobic coating on the SP.

anyway..some pictures to share for the SGP Oleophobic.. one who doesn't know won't be able to tell there's an SP on it visually. of course if you run your fingers on the home button you'll feel its there. the SP is really invisible and doesn't deterioriate the retina display

I think the bulkiness is about the same as Vapor just that Aluma has a deeper cover which makes it look bigger

Don't think its release here so soon as I recalled it just launched on Oct 15 for the gunmetal color. There is a forumer here bulking them in - look up for mandyxt

Also I hope you do know the plastic cover is very thin. Read a few reviews where they broke the bottom part when putting it on.

thx for the info

hi there ..
need some helps ...
im finding a slide pouch for iphone 4 ..
is it good to use a slide pouch ?.. the one likes blackberry use one .. but im not into flip ..
if i using that type .. can i install screen protector on my iphone 4 ?? ..
if install bumper can fit into the pouch or not ?? ..
what more other accessories i can fit to the phone so that it can use with the pouch ?? ..
thanks for your help in advance ..

u will be spoilt for choices here

really ? .. what u meant by that ?? ..
not quite understand

now that u mentioned it, ur right la. guess need to wait for someone here to provide a review...

try checkout vaja cases if u dont mind paying extra $$. or iphone wallet by hard graft; really cool design...

vaja quite expensive la bro .. haha ..
by the way .. does installing SP is ok when using with slide pouch case ?

btw, ppl, my iphone casing is a black bumper and the back with carbon fiber

the thing i wanna ask is, when we put the iphone in the pocket right, should we put the iphone front facing inside or outside of the pockets better??

i usually put the front of the phone facing my foot (the back facing outside) but most of my time, the screen will be quite dirty..

if puttin the front facing outisde right, im afraid sometimes might damnage the screen...how do u all guys put yr iphone4??

thanks

from what you explain above, seems like you kinda paranoid to damage the screen..

just put a screen protector la bro.. if you have and also afraid u damage the screen protector (which can so easily be change imo).. then get those leather flip casing/slip on or hip pouches to compliment.

getting worried and thinking which side to face your iphone while putting in your pocket, imo really wasting your energy worrying too much for a piece of tech

Actually I never heard anyone complaining about pouches damaging your screen protector before.

The only negative side on using a pouch is there is a chance your phone will be exposed without any protection. A good option would be Waterfield pouches/jackets however you only can get it by ordering from US. If you are looking for something with a bumper fit then Waterfield is the way to go.

Or if you want cheaper and locally available ones then I guess Capdase or Marware would be your next options. However their current cases are nto made to fit bumpers.

To me either way both sides are of the same material so not much difference which side its facing. But I am placing into my pocket with the screen facing my lap - mainly cause its easier when I reach for the phone to answer calls

haha..well said bro...i know its wasting time and etc but i cant help but keep thinking bout it

furthermore, i cant stand my screen being smudges and lotsa fingerprints (although i attached a matte anti fingerprint SP), i gotta wipe it away still...everyday wiping the phone spending about 20mins altogether...

Wah this one really OCD... I now only do thorough cleaning about once a week. The ports are the main headache to clean, all the dust like to camp in there.

However you can consider getting the Waterfield Suede Jacket with Bumper fit to solve your OCD haha



Acts as a pouch/jacket and cleaning cloth in one

I am getting this pouch as well since I use my phone with bumper.
