Xavinlyn,

If you can bring in clear cases for the iPhone 4, like the Switcheasy Nude UltraClear for the iPad, I'm interested. Also Clear screen protectors for front and back. Matte screen protectors make video recording through the back of the iPhone 4 looks blurry, while the front cam will look blurry as well for Face-Timing.

I have the Universal Dock meant for iPods, and it fits the iPhone 4 with Bumper case without the dock adapter attached.

I also just bought the iPhone 4 Dock from Apple Store Ginza yesterday, and with the Bumper case on, it fits but it is not flush with the dock, there will be some clearance at the bottom, and it will not charge, since the dock connector isn't connected fully into the iPhone 4. Naked iPhone 4 works fine on the iPhone 4 dock.

My Vapor is coming from Beavis's own bulk, and frankly, even RM400 on Elainor's price is a bit steep for me. The case is USD80, but the shipping CAN BE SHARED, and IS NOT USD25 PER CASE! For Beavis's own bulk, that USD25 is shared among the 14 participants, making it less than USD2 per person. Swallowing USD25 per person under the guise of shipping, is unethical IMO.

Also, if I were the one doing the bulk, I'd not pre-calculated and added the "supposed" tax cost into the total price. You never know if the item gets taxed or not. State the total price without tax, and ask your participants to pay that price. If it does get taxed, then either fork out the tax cost, or you get to keep the Vapor for yourself. Don't let them have the Vapor until they pay the tax cost. Either way it is a win-win situation. It is infinitely easy to sell the Vapor 4 case here, just look at the level of interest it has generated.

damn u string... i haven't even got the damn phone, i already like the accessories you're showing here smile.gif

here's a thought, I wonder if anyone would make an iPhone4 casing that makes it look like iPhone3G smile.gif

purpose = stealth

I've been damned and damned again, to hell and back, by others for introducing desirable accessories to them, so I guess another damnation wouldn't hurt or make any difference. laugh.gif tongue.gif

As for your thought, it shouldn't be too hard. The 3G/3GS is thicker than the iPhone 4. Or you could make it look like a mini Moleskin.

First looks at PowerSupport's Crystal Front & Back and HD AntiGlare Screen Protectors. Can't wait for mine to arrive. Using a combo of Steinheil Ultra Clear and Simplism Anti-Glare SP at the moment. Will definitely rip them out for the PowerSupport.

Will this protector have the 'orange peel' effect?

If you've tried it on my iPad last time, then you'd know the answer to this question. In short, no.

The bulk for that Vapor case has closed I'm afraid. We are anticipating our shipment to be shipping by this week or the next.

For the ultimate protection for your iPhone 4, the Otterbox series of cases is best. They may look a bit on the bulky side, but folks who had used them kept bringing it up because of the protective properties. They are not a looker, but gets the job done I guess.

Those looking for the perfect screen protector for the iPhone 4, it has finally arrived in Machines. Look for the PowerSupport AntiGlare HD screen protector, it comes with 1 x antiglare front film, 1 x crystal clear front film, 1 x crystal clear back film, and 2 preparation films to clean your iPhone 4 before applying the films. Price is RM118. If you're looking for the Crystal Clear version it is RM98 only, and this pack removes the antiglare front film, leaving the other films in the pack.

The only thing left for me is the Vapor case, and it's complete.

do Machines have service to apply for you? im not good in applying screen protectors.

If you ask them nicely, they will. However, they are disclaiming against workmanship if the installation is not as good as you prefer. They will tell you that first.

but too bad it does not cover the side  sad.gif

I have my Bumper & Reception case for the time being until I receive my Vapor.

QUOTE(HappyGOLuckyme @ Aug 16 2010, 11:14 PM)
quite confused with the contents..

1) antiglare front film      <---
2) crystal clear front film <--- Only able to apply 1 at a time right?
3) 2 preparation films <--- i dont understand this hmm.gif

The prep films are there to remove dust away from the glass front and back. Antiglare film is for the front, the crystal clear for the back.

QUOTE(HappyGOLuckyme @ Aug 16 2010, 11:28 PM)
I think i'm going to protect my iPhone 4 exactly like how you do.  rclxms.gif
1) 1 Antiglare Front Film
2) 1 Crystal Clear Back Film
3) Vapor Case

Did you pre-order your Vapor case?
*
Long time ago preordered, the moment they opened the preorder window.

@Christopher7

I hate Bodyguardz with an unbridled passion, so the only option isthe PowerSupport. Get another case that covers the side for complete protection.

Huh? What makes you say so?
mind to share?

I've read some nice review abt PS.
It worth trying  smile.gif

any recommended case from you besides Vapor?
*
I don't like full body wraps, the installation is never perfect and there tend to be nigging issues on how it's done that never have it make looking perfect.

I would go for the Switcheasy Nude for the iPhone4 if I'm not getting the Vapor. The rest are either plain looking or not unique enough. My preference would either make my iPhone 4 look sleek(Vapor) or maintains its minimalistic looks(Nude).

@ string, how do u rate the power support anti glare film?

currently im using the once bundle with the reception case, looks nice, but the smudges... ewwwww

Zero smudges or fingerprints on the PowerSupport AntiGlare HD. Like its iPad brother, I gladly recommend this over every other SP out there. Yup, I tried the one bundled with the Reception Case, but ripped it out post haste when the PowerSupport one arrived.

hi,
is it ok if i ask for some recommendations for ip4?
its for my clumsy wife.

some extra protection for the back panel especially from drops while still preserving its aesthetic side are my concerns.
*
Search for Otterbox iPhone case. In your case, protection takes precedence over aesthetics, you can't have both. Clumsiness can take a toll on beautiful products like the iPhone 4. Or you could get the Vapor case, but I'd kill myself if I scratch even my Vapor case. I'm currently using the Switcheasy Nude Ultra Clear until my Vapor arrives on the 24th.

I've heard some reviews from the web that the anti-grade HD will wipe out the image quality after you apply, is that true?

Check the responses from that very post you quoted from Macrumors forum. Unanimous consensus that the guy who posted those shots are speaking out of his rear end. Either way, it doesn't make any difference if you bought the AntiGlare HD pack, it comes together with both the Crystal Clear AND the Antiglare HD SPs. Don't like the looks of the Antiglare HD? Rip it out and use the Crystal Clear that comes with the pack.

Just got my Vapor casae. Coupled with the SGP carbon fiber back purchased from MacStudio, my dream iPhone protection/case is finally complete! I can't say enough of this combo, just that I have never had any attachment to one particular case, but this Vapor/SGP Carbon Fiber combination is absolutely gorgeous looking!
