finally after a super long procrastination period, here's my review of the rebel artic case.

@david, u should be thinking "finally eh?" tongue.gif

3G iPhone Casing : Switcheasy Rebel Artic
Price: RM 119 when i first bought, not sure about the pricing
Rating: initially it was 9/10, but over time 9/10 had dropped to the level of 5/10
Pro: Low profile, protects the whole phone
Cons: Dust might be trapped often in the internals of the casing
Comments: It was damn good at the starting but somehow its like the palm oil price, my impressions just keep dropping and dropping until the level of no return.

I won't be doing an extensive review like the first impressions and what not but this is focusing mainly on how much the casing had endured for the phone and not the phone itself tongue.gif
For first impressions review, you can just head over to youtube or ilounge just for the review.

Just to drive my point home, i will just let the pictures do the talking all these are taken half an hour ago, unedited and resized. Results of daily usage starting from like october till now.
I would like to bet, nobody is gonna support the rebel after looking at the pics biggrin.gif

first up,

scratches and scuff marks all over the place after months of usage along with the ever enduring watermarks inside the casing too.

look at all the grimes and vertical scuff marks made by opening the phone countless of times

volume button cover had already started to rip itself off from the silicone.

and lastly the infamous sag-of-the-year

so WIR this casing to everyone? YES and NO, if you're a perfectionist this thing wont last in your inventory, if you just need something to protect the phone this is it but bear in mind u will feel what i feel sooner or later.

it's time for me to retire this casing as well, targetting the griffin iclear and i'm hoping teikwing can give us a good review after a month long usage period tongue.gif

you know what alex, i was actually excited when i saw your link,
but right after looking at the pictures, all my anticipation was flushed down the drain immediately.

although its made of good material, the design is fugly.
definitely a no-go for me. sad.gif

@spatches
if you want minimize the water marks, try sprinkling a little bit of talcum powder inside the casing.

It work wonders biggrin.gif
