Guys, is SGP Ultra Thin Case recommended?

Which is better? High Gloss Black or Matte Black?

SGP anti-fingerprint film vs SGP optical enhancement film.. which is better?

teikwing, i wondering why there is nobody selling this Capdase Conxept Case For Iphone 3G in garage sales?

Is this model still available in Machines?

I found this package seems to be very good protection because i found SGP hard case only covers the back not full cover which includes the chrome bezel.

Btw is there Machines at Lowyat PLaza?

havent decide wat casing or sleeve to use.... those more suitable for working ....kind to share ur pov?

i recommend SwitchEASY Capsule NEO as i have found out it give us almost full protection. The best part it comes with silicon layer for back case to avoid scratches during installation of the back plate. And comes with audio jack and dock connector protector to avoid dust accumulation.

what about SGP cases?? is it good??

It only protect the back. No protection on the front and chrome bezel. If accidental drop, make sure it hit the back not the front. Anyway i prefer switcheasy capsuleNeo will full protection.

that's true for Rebel. had mine and sold it off after nearly a month of usage due to scratches made on my i3G's chrome bezel. i'm not too sure about Griffin Wave but you can try iClear. a pretty good case. smile.gif

on another note, saw both Incipio DermaShot and Feather at Switch, Queensbay Mall today. unable to make my decision on which one to choose due to the SGP shield attached.  biggrin.gif

So you reckon which case that have the same protection as rebel? How about Capsule NEO but is very tedious step of installing it.

Snapping in or slide it in? which is preferred type of hard case protection?

How about boomwave silicon case?

But hard case gives us the advantage of protection during accidential drop. Where silicon case just to avoid bezel being scratch.

Now I'm confuse on which to choose from switcheasy capsule rebel serpent or capsule neo.

yeah, i agree, but the grip is way too good for me, so i opted for a SGP illuzion leather slide in pouch, really slim and no matter how hard you try, the phone won't drop out. PLUS, i can access it easily from my pocket, which is why i love it.
*
But your phone is without protection when using it right? That is why I felt that having a protection case while using the phone is a must. The back arylic is so sensitive to scratches! Day one I got 3 fine hair line scar, the worse part the line landed on my apple logo.

I read from many sources that the Nu Form scratches the back of black iPhones quite badly even without dusts being trapped under. Unlike the Seidio Innocase II and Incase Slider, the Nu Form doesn't have any padding between the back of the phone and hard plastic rear cover.

Anyone know where to buy the iSkin Solo or Solo FX? I called the Machines around Selangor and none of them have it in stock right now.
*
i've done some researches pm Seidio Innocase II, is a great casing but the fact in Malaysia is very hard to get original. I nearly bought a fake version, lucky enough i verify from the seller and lucky enough to cancel my order.

Anywhere i can purchase Seidio Innocase II which is at least... ORIGINAL smile.gif

I've seen the reviews of this model. Is really tedious job to install it. But its as protective as the rebel does.

If you people are ordering from jacquei and her partner please take note that they are currently really busy cause sometimes the PM takes them a long day for them to reply and the last thing she told me is the stock arriving next week i think.

After what harmeet said,im looking at the iSkin. Need something which can last a long time, dont have the luxury to keep changing cases. Lol
*
Yes indeed, jacquei is been very busy. I waited for more than a week for the stock arrive. Sadly she said that she might stop selling switcheasy product due to his day work schedule too tight for her.

Anyway i still recommend getting from her for switcheasy product.

I wonder is it rebel serpent black got defect? The problem is the case is press my switcheasy screen protector. There is no sag at the bottom which is good sign compared to previous batch. Any idea where to get incase slider?

I guess the only way u gonna get a review of an iPhone Sports Arm Strap is by googling it. As i know most of us here doesnt use the iPhone for sport purpose. As a person who sweat profusely,I dare not even keep my iPhone in the pocket when I hit the gym. That's why I'm buying a cheap mp3 player to just abuse them when i go into the gym. Lol.
I think they rectify the problem already. I was asking bout the Incase slider and somebody replied Machines@Midvalley might have them. Go there and take a look smile.gif. Or u could just call them.
Ya the logos are just stickers. I was reading one comment from a google search and he remove those stickers.

P/S: I place my order for the Epikcase Clear too. Might be getting other colours if this one suits me smile.gif.
*
Too bad in Ipoh there is no Machines shop cause low demand of iphone. So is there any seller from LYN could get Incase slider?

i'm currently using SGP/Steinheil Crystal Clear screen protector i got from Twinkles. Price was 30 a piece. good quality. screen colours are sharp or rather should i say its just like u never put on any screen protector at all. but the trade off is that finger prints are abundant la. have to clean it often.
*
Currently I'm using switcheasy clear screen protector. Is very good and less finger prints if light swipe on the screen. Since it give two piece for free which is great but first piece damaged due to reapply fail.

@sideways:
just get one from SGP like what D-Zire suggested. spend more on quality ones rather than those cheapo RM5, 10 screen protectors. they get scratched up easily. been using SGP's for couple of months and still, zero scratches, not even hairlines.

@jimmylim85:
my SwitchEasy's SP lasted me less than a month. sad.gif

What happen to your switcheasy sp? Can't resist scratches? The sgp sp, which version? The clear version at rm 50 for two pieces or sgp anti fingerprint rm 60 for two.

sorry man, already sharing with my friend.

that's the exact reason why i'm getting the shield, to protect it from scratches, i already have a SGP illuzion pouch to absorb the impact if i ever drop my iphone.
*
Will the SGP back case thin enough to fit along with the iphone into SGP illuzion pouch?

Will the pouch scratch the back of the iphone without the SGP shield?

it should be able to fit, it's just a thin piece of film, shouldn't take up much space.
dont think the pouch will scratch, there's a soft cloth layer.
so far, i can only find one mild hairline on the back, right below the logo. but i don't think it was the pouch.
*
Actually what I mean is the sgp hard case able to fit inside the sgp illuzion pouch?
