@Mr. Kong:
Gelaskins is some sort of sticker/decal. it's made from 3M material. smile.gif

@viosowner:
1. AFAIK, Machines MV & Lot 10 has most selection of casings. Sunway's one too.
2. i believe all anti-glare/fingerprints SPs are similar. since you're getting less fingerprints, visibility is reduced too. still IMO, crystal clear SP works best. yeah you might be getting fingerprints/smudges but heck, even anti-glare ones are not 100% smudge-free. tongue.gif

p/s:i used to bought new cases for my i3G once every month. it's normal. biggrin.gif

Im still considering whether I should put on my powersupport's antiglare. the apa nama screen is so fingerprint resistant except for when I use it to talk then the oil from my face makes the screen oily.

Those experience with Anti-Glare - does it gets the oil from the face too?

If yes, then better I dont put, I dont like the blur blur effect too
*
they are anti-glare/fingerprints SPs but they are definitely not anti-oil. they do reduce fingerprints/smudges up to a certain extent. you'll need less wipes to clean 'em unlike normal SPs.

TW, u really no need to sleep ya?   shocking.gif 
helpful as always  notworthy.gif

since u've past the 'gila casing syndrom' (i hope), curious to know u putting on any screen protector? me planning to just use the 3GS screen coating until it depletes, only then apply protector.

also, wat casing u finally decide to stick to now after ur monthly purchases?
*
i've been out whole day. tongue.gif

yes, i've passed that stage, fortunately. biggrin.gif of course i did. using a SGP clear SP. been trying all sorts of SP till i settled with this one. why would you apply until after the oleophobic coating depletes?

still feel that iPhone looks and feels best without any sorts of case. mine is only on SGP shield and Oakley pouch. smile.gif

being honest, i was sorta afraid to use it naked, that's why been switching to a long list of cases. (who knows i might drop it or something)

but once you've been using it for sometime without any case, you won't wanna look back. trust me. (given you don't drop or hit it against something)

p/s: with cases, you'll never stick to one. there's always the urge to switch and switch. maybe it's just me. laugh.gif

err i think to use a case or not, it all boils down to your self preference. smile.gif

QUOTE(avars @ Aug 9 2009, 09:14 PM)
personal preferences, sometimes u want it to be naked, but when ure going outdoor xtra insurance (hard casing) will be nice, im going for SGP shield and also buying switcheasy capsule rebel, both comes with screen protectors, so which screen protection should i use? hope brother teikwing or nokia2003 can enlighten me ^^
*
from my experience, SwicthEasy bundled SPs are easily scratched. advice is to go with SGP Shield's SP

Since all the full body skins are around the same price, which one is better in the sense of clearness, reflectiveness and hardness?

SPG Shields - RM99
Invisible Shield - RM80
Bodyguardz - RM90

Anyone tried before BestSkinEver's full body skin?
I'm just asking because I was surprise because of the price.

USD $5.99 Screen Skin Only
USD $7.99 Total Body Skin with 2 Piece Back
USD $7.99 Total Body Skin with 1 Piece Back
USD $7.99 Total Body Skin with Simple Back
USD $5.99 2 Piece Back Skin Only
USD $5.99 1 Piece Back Skin Only
USD $5.99 Simple Back Skin Only

applied both IS and SGP shield and i can say SGP is much better with thinner shield (thus easier application) and clear screen protector.

@NV20:

in my case, no. been using it for almost 2 months.

@Coconut:
the clear screen protector is quite scratch-resistant i must say.

i have the same mindset also before this, but after having 2 long scratch on my screen, i start to have doubt on sgp. Hopefully the scratch is only on the protector and not the screeen.

hi there, i want to get some ideas from you guys which is the best case among SwitchEasy Capsule Rebel & Griffin Clarifi Case with Built-in Close-Up Lens.

Thanks
*

@Coconut:

i've been using my unit with a pouch hence it's hardly vulnerable to any sort of scratches. but i've tried cleaning it the screen with all types of cloth (even non-micro fiber type) and still scratches are not visible.

@dopamine:
depends on your preference, Rebel is a combination of soft-hard case while Clarifi is a hard case. i don't think you need Clarifi's macro close-up lens if you're having 3GS, since the AF is quite sufficient for close ups.

hey, did anyone buy CapsuleColors for iPhone 3G (Silicon casing)  for their 3gs? i would like to hear some review abt this casing with 3gs..i mean more reviews from other users(i know someone got it here but i would love to hear more)
*
what kinda reviews you're looking for? in short, it's one of the most affordable, branded + quality silicone case in the market. (it's a lint catcher though, obvious if you're getting the Stealth color)

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/915863#entry23221527

for a thorough review, do use Google.

Just received the SGP shield this morning and has just applied it "successfully".. The first one failed and sticked with a lot of dust and threw away (sakit hati).. Applied the second one but now the back looks full with a lot of small bubbles and medium size bubbles.. Really don't know will the bubble disappear tomorrow or the day after.. If not gonna peel it off and can't use anymore.. Haiz.. Seems like applying SGP shield is really not as easy as thought..
*
the bubbles will be gone within days. the max in a case i've seen is a week. or like what Hanxz said, use a hair dryer.

My bubbles only manage to disappear after a week. The only issue I am having now is there is a part which has a lot of tiny crumple lines and no matter how I try to squeegee it, it is still there  dry.gif
*
not to disappoint you but those crumple lines are there to stay. experienced it with several users who got their SGP shield on. it was due to the 'uneven sticking' in the first place.

speaking about cases, here's one which is quite tough and i mean incredibly tough (although it only protects the edges from hits, bumps and drops)

do watch the video to get what i really meant. biggrin.gif

Tech21 iBand: Serious impact protection (proved on video)

If you're the clumsy sort you have absolutely no shortage of protective cases and coatings to shroud your pricey gadget in, but most are ugly, bulky, and likely ineffective. The iBand from Tech21 isn't particularly attractive nor svelte, but after watching the video below there's little doubt about its effectiveness. It's made of a substance called d3o, which is a fancy orange non-Newtonian substance, starting out stretchy and gushy but, when put under pressure, hardening and protecting its precious contents. We've seen this stuff applied to high-impact applications like motorcycle armor, but we're glad to see gadgetry getting a little attention too. The video is a bit curious as it appears that the d3o is just applied around the edges of the case and yet the enclosed device survives a face-down landing, but it's an impressive demonstration nevertheless. Right now the £15 ($25) iBand is only available for the iPhone and iPod Touch, but future gadgets should receive the oobleck treatment soon.

teikwing, i wondering why there is nobody selling this Capdase Conxept Case For Iphone 3G in garage sales?

Is this model still available in Machines?

I found this package seems to be very good protection because i found SGP hard case only covers the back not full cover which includes the chrome bezel.

Btw is there Machines at Lowyat PLaza?
*
yeah it's available at Machines. try your luck at Machines Lot 10. they have plenty of stocks most of the time.

Colors are available at all Machines stores. and most of them do have plenty of stock. the only issue is that whether does the store have the colors that you're looking for. (eg. Stealth, Milky White etc.)
