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

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
*
Just a side note regarding the Griffin Clarity case with Build-in Close-Up lens.

To be honest, this casing has cause me 4 screen protectors. The build is too tight to fit into my i3G. Whenever I try to squeez it in, my screen protector alwasy peels out at the corner. I asked the Machines guys to do it for me and they themself screwed up 3 screen protectors. doh.gif
Got pissed at the casing and bought a RM20 hard rubber casing from Digital Mall. tongue.gif

I'm letting go my Griffin case. PM me if you're interested.

Silicon case is good but what I dislike about it is the case getting lose after a few weeks.
Plastic case breaks and scratch too easily.

I'm having case crisis. doh.gif

Bro, any comment for the Epikcase?
*
I would say EPIKcase is 1 of the best case I've used. The gripping is just nice, rubber is not too soft. Not too bulky either. thumbup.gif

I would honestly give it a 4.5/5 for this case. smile.gif

how about the serpeat case?

soft rubber on the 1st intact to the phone

than add on spiral fish bone type hard case for external biggrin.gif

I wouldn't wanna comment much about plastic cases because I'm bias towards plastic cases due to the easyness to scratch and flimsiness of plastic cases. tongue.gif

Once drop, your case will break into pieces.

in everyday usage, yes. hard case are for those who goes for the extreme. or in some way, being too afraid of dropping their iPhones.  biggrin.gif
Serpent is a good case overall. but the saggy issue and the hard rubber inner which is unable to protect certain parts of the chrome bezel (even being stretch to the limit & with the 'spine' on) totally puts me off.
i beg to differ. most of the hard cases in the market (Rebel, CapsuleNeo, iClear etc.) and even ones which merely protects the back part of the phone (SGP Ultra Thin) doesn't break upon impact due to drops. for the Griffin iClear case, used to dropped it on a tar road, picked it up, everything is still intact. what's left are just minor scratch marks on the case. mind you, those are not even dents. it's a pretty tough case i must say, but it's pretty bulky. (less bulky than Rebel though) smile.gif

I broke 2 plastic cases before and thats the end of my plastic cases journey. Griffin iClear and a SGP case. Both in a single drop.

QUOTE(teikwing @ Oct 5 2009, 09:50 PM)
well, i guess that might depends on the circumstances then, eg. height of drop. albeit these cases are made from plastic, they are no ordinary cheapo crystal case material. so i guess when yours did break (for both), it must be quite serious?  smile.gif

QUOTE(doomx @ Oct 5 2009, 10:18 PM)
To break 2 plastic cases with a single drop is quite serious. I felt both of the material before and i can say that it is quite durable. what exactly happen? lol
*
For the SGP shield, I accidentally sweep my phone off the table with my elbow while I was typing on the keyboard.
While for Griffin iClear, my cousin was playing with it while in a family reunion and the phone slipped out of his hands and piang on the floor. It was barely a 2 feet drop.

Tell me how not to have phobia on plastic cases. doh.gif

Covers for i2G is very rare now especially in any Mac stores. And not only Mac stores don't sell em, even stores in pasar malam hardly sells them anymore.
