I've been using rebel serpent for more than a week. Very little dust spotted on the back case when I remove it. Bare one thing in mind that I'm working in outdoor where is condition is very dusty.

Sometime I felt those hairlines spotted I can't be bothered when is so hard to take an arylic plastic back case. The only worries I have is whenever I use the mophie juice pack where it slides in which might scratch the back.

If you want to slip in your iPhone into the Morphie Juice, the former must be 'stark naked'. You cannot have any shield on. It is a tight fit as it is.

There are no, AFAIK, iPhone casings for the Morphie Juice. Perhaps you could get one of those sunglass pouches.

Is best to clean the mophie surface before slot in the phone to charge. Is very tight fit and I got my phone with two hairline scratch.

The mophie is great for an immediate charge while on the move. Not many battery pack can really fully charge your phone in a single charge. The mophie 1800mAH model can charge my phone from 10% right up to 100% and still left at least a bar or two before empty.

The one place I know that you will be spoilt for choice is Low Yat Plaza. But the prices there as opposed to those being sold at GS are sometimes as high as 150% more. Since you want to touch it, feel it and try it, you have to pay the price(excuse the pun).

My advice is buy those branded ones which are not too costly like Boomwave and the like. You will be better off than purchasing the RM20 imitation ones though some are not all that bad for temporary use.

Btw Boomwave is made in Malaysia. Support Malaysian product icon_rolleyes.gif

I only came to know about this when i search in youtube for Boomwave silicon review in which shows a positive sign. But then again, Switcheasy Colors just RM 70.00 only with lots of goodies.

AFAIK local vendors do not carry them

either seek through GS or if you have friends in australia, apple store carries them extensively.

Not even machines or mac store? thats weird. It might be pricey but the case protection kind of good.

my flatmate is using it ATM and he is very pleased.

check out the reviews on the apple store and a few actually claimed that their iPhones survived drops from a high altitude (however, you will never know until you personally try it out. hence your experience may differ)

Currently using rebel serpent. Will incase slider provides better protection?

What i like about switcheasy is that they provide dock connector and audio plug protector against moisture and dust enter.

I have posted this before but let me refresh everyone's memories. Slider cases will almost certainly scratch your phone especially at the chrome bezel. So, be warned.

@bluefaerie
You can actually buy from one of our re-sellers, Jacquei at GS. She is selling them at RM90 each pack of 2.
*
Actually i have lost the will to take care the back case and the chrome bezel. No matter how hard you did... there is still scratches.

Even my rebel serpent lower part of the dock connector rubber which is albeit saggy in which causes it to scratch my lower part chrome bezel.

I rather have accidental drop protection than invisible shield that only protects scratches but not accidental drops.

Anyway that's my point of view.

ouh. no micro fiber and screen protector etc?
hmm but im just curious to know what effect does it do to the chrome part. anyone got pictures?
kinda bored of my capsule rebel d. the saggy-ness.  mad.gif

Check this one. Totally no goodies at all. Is best you use a micro fibre cloth to clean the phone and case before installing it. Cause dust particle can cause scratches.

Machines. I went there on Thursday, and found out that Mac City was selling it for RM129, while Machines was letting it go for RM10 less.

In GS you can get it as low as rm 100 to rm 105 which includes shipping.

rebel serpent looks the best with is fish bone cover looks like snake skin.

Best part is Limited Edition.

Is true that everyone will take a glimpse on what phone you're holding with that cool looking rebel case.

Thank you for the feedback, but that's not the point. What I wanted to highlight was the price difference in two Apple authorized (if I am not mistaken) stores. How could that be made possible?

Is all about marketing strategy. Retail price is RM 129.

Dear All,

A quick question based on your experience or familiarity with KL:

1. Are there any shops reselling SGP items in KL?
2. Are there any shops selling Art Shield in KL?

Planning to pop into Machines at Suria KLCC to take a look at other cases since I will be putting up nearby there later in the day.

My preference would be:
1. Nothing bulky.
2. No hard cases that may still scratch the phone.
3. A case that's transparent/reveals the apple logo would be a nice touch.

Currently fascinated by the SGP Shield and all that fancy soft skin tech. Gelaskin feel is pretty unique as well.

Look forward to other suggestions, preferably purchasable from a shop somewhere in KL.

Thanks so much for replying, if anyone does...(I bet a zillion of similar questions has been asked).

Hi @mandyxt,

Wanna ask yeah - the UltraThin cases look all nice and seems to be giving you good business but seems to me that a case like that doesnt quite protect the bottom chrome parts which would lead them to being scuffed right?

Hence I guess the only way for real proper protection is to either a Speck Candyshell/Otterbox Commuter TL as examples eh?

I have a feeling with the illuzion pouch which alto looks sleek and nice whether the hanging part of the cover when we're talking on the phone is annoying or not  hmm.gif
*
There is one more which provide good protection yet simple installation which is switcheasy rebel serpent.
