Hey bro,
Can i know how much is macstudio selling that SGP Neo Hybrid Ex case? Kinda interested in buying one.

Should be RM139. I did not check the exact price. I just grab the Valancia Leather case together with it. Paid and left to pick up my car and off I go. Was in a rush that time.

I really hate these cases where taking night shots with led flash is impossible!
The photograph will get washed out ...
I got an SGP ultra thin and i thought i wouldn't have this problem but turned out I was wrong...

If it covers the antenna part, it should be solved. But there are some materials being used on cases that can somehow worsen the reception.

Hi,

Found a flip case called Skin-mate snake convertible for iphone 4, anyone know bout this case? Searched around internet and juz couldnt find any review on this case..

The official website for this case: skin-mate snake convertible

Alternately is Melkco leather case

Anyone can tell which is better?

Thanks.

I have both the melkco and sgp argos, never tried skinmate.

I strongly suggest sgp, worth every cent. don't place your money on melkco. Probably another 90 more.

Alumacase iPhone4 Case Review

Price: USD59.95 (add USD20 for USPS Priority Mail)

Rating: 8/10

Pros:
1. Good solid built
2. Grips well in your hands
3. Very snug fit
4. Made from 6061 grade aluminum

Cons:
1. Bubbles PS Anti-glare (if 3M carbon back is applied)
2. Minor scuff marks
3. No extra hue screws
4. Adjustments needed to get the top and bottom piece properly aligned

Pictures:

Shadow Grey & Palladium Silver

Network Tests

1. Confirm no reduction on WiFi signal & download speed - tested with Speedtest App

2. Non-3G mobile network signal sometimes will drop by 1 bar

3. Pending 3G testing as my home has very bad fluctuating 3G signal

Final comments:

Biggest disappointment, the case bubbled my SP on the top. My iPhone is currently installed with PS Anti-glare on the front, Lucky Labs Carbon on the back and Lucky Labs Spectra Wrap around the phone. I am suspecting its caused by the carbon backing as it makes the phone slightly thicker. Will try to test it without my carbon back to see if it still bubbles. Even so I strongly believe if you stick a good quality SP which is thick on the front & back it will bubble on both sides. Next alternative? Get a thinner cheapo SP tongue.gif

Apart from the bubbling issue I am very happy with the overall outlook and built quality although it could be better as mine came with a few minor scuff marks.

Update: Removed Lucky Labs back carbon sticker and the phone slides in smoothly with out any bubbles biggrin.gif
Will I still buy a Vapor? Yes.

PS: If I managed to poison anyone, I have an extra Palladium Silver for sale. PM me for price.

I have been using IP4 with original black bumper (comes with free case) for a while. The quality is good but now I am bored with black. If you are planning to buy original bumper then get other color than black. whistling.gif

Bumper is highly recommended if you don't plan to get a Vapor. Haha!
My rating is Black > Orange > White > Blue > Pink > Green.
Green is extremely terrible! Please don't get that.

Hey there, i believe u can turn off data roaming in settings> general> network> data roaming. No need to keep swapping sim cards, or u can also turn off cellular data there .

It's decent only it get dirt after quite awhile using it (am not nitpicky anyway lol). Just get a back cover and screen protector you are done.
You might read about the bumper scratch the metal band before. I've check mine, i dont have any scratch yet. I believe the scratch is actually the plastic mark from the bumper itself especially on the edge of the phone.

Sorry bro but I am afraid Alumacases do not have the sim tray cut out. For aluminum cases I think only Vapor has a sim tray cut out.

From the photos post about the alumnacase, there looks like uneven level from the part where the case connected at the lower part.
