Hi,

I just bought my Iphone (white) 2 days ago from maxis. Since i'm in a tight budget (after paid so much for the phone), i had decided to go for a cheap fake capdase softjacket from lowyat (material: silicone, but at the back outside some sort of PVC leather with texture. Bought it for RM20). What i'm worried now is since my iphone is white colour, will it get yellowish easily because of the heat? (since there is a case, so the iphone cannot "breath" easily thus keep the heat trap inside and make the iphone turn yellowish).

Anybody had this kind of experience or taught?

Thanks smile.gif

Hi,

Glad to hear that u get ur iphone, for those fake casing, is really hard to say, coz we really dunno what kind of material is that.

I got some of my buyer do try the fake case and scratch the back, maybe is becoz of the casing or maybe is caused by the dust.

Talking about the casing will make ur iphone back turn yellowish, i think this possibility is quite low, unless the casing melt hahaha. And i dun think it can trap the heat inside lah, coz still got hole for u to plug ur headphone, charger, volume button, etc, so many hole to release the heat smile.gif.

Since u oledi bought it, juz keep away from the water (When u yum cha with friend, u put ur iphone on the table w/o realizing there is water on the table), take out ur casing to clear the dust.

This is my personal opinion, hope can help u.

thanks for ur answer and advice. I do want to get a proper casing for sure [in my mind now,neo hybrid with yellow frame smile.gif] but not atm bcos kinda broke after bought the phone by cash (afraid to do installment, eventho i have a CC). Maybe i'll try too get it by next month.

Anyway, u have any opinion about neo hybrid? I think it look good and fully protect the chrome part too rite? Pls advice

thanks smile.gif

Haha, totally understand ur situation.

For neo hybrid, i'm not pretty sure coz i din carry that brand, maybe u let me know what kind of casing u looking at?Silicon, hard casing, leather, Carbon fibre, or etc. So i can shorten the list for you.

Maybe u can refer to my thread if u want. smile.gif

Bro, neo hybrid is ok case but d frame will get scratches and I don't think it can give full protection.IF d iPhone fell, I believe d frame may break from d back cover which affect d iPhone body, it is a click on frame to it's back silicon case which I think is not tight to hold . It is unlike normal casing that comes in a piece...

Owh so u are not recommend me to get this SGP neo hybrid? Have u use it before?

Guys,

Anybody here have any thought about this kind of Battery Extender case? http://www.digi.com.my/iphone/promo_bargain.html

Sounds like a good deal and nice case too. Any comment or review perhaps?

thanks.

I have received my neo hybrid case. For me its a good looking case, but like othr people here said, the neo case is not reliable if u drop ur phone. Overall for me now i do like this case. Hopefully i will never drop my phone smile.gif

After a week using a neo hybrid case by SGP, i decide to open the case and get clean my phone. To my surprise, the phone chrome part full of scratches! haiyo.... sad.gif

Any way to remove all those hair scratches?
