My missus took my Rebel Skeleton away after she discared her cheapo crystal case for her iphone 3G. Luckily I still have Bodyguardz on and use with my Marware slip in pouch. IMO a naked iphone 3G still feels better.

Griffin is quite pricey. Saw the Capdase silicon case at Lot 10 but didn't really like it. Alreday bought the Bodyguardz my 2nd set as my 1st one got dirty and I took it off. Also bought a cheap silicon casing at Lowyat abt RM12 which is cheap considering some other places selling at RM20 -RM25. I like it. Would probably bodyguardz my iphone and use it with that casing.

Attached Image Attached ImageAttached ImageI have also been using a number of cases, holsters and what nots for my iphones, both 2G and 3G. Used a rebel skeleton but didn't like it so passed it to my missus and she likes it a lot for her black iphone 3G. Ending with a cheapo silicone case from Lowyat at RM15 but nice to hold and gives good protection. Maybe I will install Bodyguardz later, but for now using it with just a screen protector.

anyone have any experience with the Switcheasy Rebel Serpent? rated highly on iLounge and other review sites. i hear that they sell it in Machines, is that true? i prefer something that gives more protection especially around the chrome edges, the SGP still leaves the chrome bits exposed rite?

Bro,

The serpent or rebel looks nice but after a while they usually be stretched hence becoming loose usually at the bottom. Wifey used a Rebel skeleton for her iphone 3g and this was what she got that I told her to change to a cheapo casing. The SGP, More cases available in LYN garage sales look nice.

ok guys, here's a potentially silly question.
If i have already put on a full body protector film on my phone, is it necessary to buy another case for the phone? Is the protector film alone enough to protect to phone from gentle knocks and bumps?How many of you use only the film without the casing? I mean what is the trend right now I wonder....

arrggh..i m confused!!!

Bro, speaking from experience, I did Bodyguardz for my 3g and wifey 3g. Mine did not go too well but wifey one was better, altho after a while both have edges coming out and looks bad. Decided to take off both BG and just put Screen protectors and use with More and SGP cases, look nicer. However if you want your iphone 3G fully secured, BG and a casing or pouch would be double, I guessed and in BG is as good as a naked iphone which until today still turn heads..... rclxms.gif

Ahhh, thanks for this. Very useful for me to make some decision, mm...

I'm thinking about either skins or hard case. Dont like additional bulk but the latter seems to be tiny bit better since it protects more. Dilemma...need to see the physical unit with those thingies on in order to decide, really.

Btw, the cases they have here's quite cool. I'm looking specially at the SGP Ultra Thin High Gloss Plus (extra, extra, lol). Anyone using it?

Planning to get one SGP ultra thin for my Iphone 3G - S. Looking athe white or silver and getting it here via LYN garage sale. ALso invested in a silver M tongue.gif ore case with mirror SP, soonest I stick on my 3g - S tomorrow, will capture some photos and post here for sharing. smile.gif

Isnt BG a type of screen protector? I mean when u say screen protector what are u actually referring to? A totally different type of protector from BG?


Added on July 30, 2009, 4:57 pm

Ya i agree SGP do have some killer casings. Be careful though if you decide to Body guardz your phone then it will not fit into SGP casings. ALso some forumers dislike it for that fact that it has a hole at back to reveal the apple logo which is dust magnet.

CKsia,

BG is overall shield. Screen protector got a million out there for you to choose to protect your screen only. Some ppl like mirror type, some like frosted type, some like clear type, some want anti-fingerprint type, amcam2 nowadays. All I'm saying is that you can do full bodysheld using BG, SGP or invisible Shield or just put on screen protector and casing like SGP Ultra thin, More, Incase, Rebel, etc. Motive is the same, Protection.

Bro, no offence intended but that looks really ugly to me. Maybe it's just the pictures that's not doing it justice.

Well bro, one man water is another man's poison, beauty lies in the eyes of beholder.
Not the most beautiful but looks for me coz I've been using the switcheasy, incase, capdase and a host of others as well and this one is no less practical than any of those. nod.gif

True bro. I usually can't get wifi using this case. Seems like the case interfere with signal. Looks nice tho the silver one especially paired with mirror screen protector.
