@manchurr:

1. SGP Ultra Thin
- hard plastic material
- protects against dents (maybe drops)
- not as slim as Incipio (might add some weight/bulk)
- +- RM65

2. Incipio Feather
- silicone/soft-plastic material
- extremely slim (does not add weight/bulk to the phone)
- does not protects against drops/dents
- +- RM75

decision is yours. smile.gif

@manchurr,
We're just giving U recommendations based on the fact U wanted something with good grip.  If U oredi read the reviews and have decided what's the point of asking us?

@gmail,
The oleophobic will wear off according to the i3GS manual that came with the phone.  However, its lifespan is not known but it's probably going to outlive the period of time we use the phone.  Also, a lot of people I know still put on the screen protector as a pre caution.

sorry tinkbel, didn't meant that way.. i ask because wanna know ur guys opinions.. tqvm.. i tink i'll go with the feather..

i think Feather is able to fit since it's the a hard case but more to soft-plastic/silicone which is flexible.

based on my experience, Machines Midvalley allows you to test the casings before you decided to purchase it. tested both Speck Pixelskin and Capdase ConXept case together. biggrin.gif

okies.. thx..

casing feather doesn't protect the chrome lining.. so hoping that the shield can protect the chrome lining..

Hi Jackhammer84,

When you Use the SGP shield cant use together witht he SGP ultra thin case already.

Incipio feather also exposed the chrome bezel. what's the best way to protect it.. other than using a casing that covers the chrome bezel..

TW,

  The sad thing is, both Machines in MV/Gardens dont have Incipio  rclxub.gif

  Went to maxis MV only have. The salesperson so helpful. He even lend me his phone to test. Mine only arriving 31st. guess wat, he is also using the air jacket!

  pls go and compare the built quality of Incipio light b4 buying. around rm96. Ya cheaper, but the quality so weak, not worth it. no protection.


Added on July 22, 2009, 11:45 am1 more question,

my casing comes with

1x antiglare protector for LCD screen protection
1x crystal film protector for LCD screen protection

should i install this on the 3GS since it's already got it's own anti fingerprint coating?

if yes, which film should i install first? antiglare/crstal?
*
incipio light u mention is the feather series rite? i saw it too yesterday.. only got white one.. i desire the red color..

the quality is weak is it? no protection.. hmm, air jacket any good guys?

if it can survive a session of doom + beejive + call...
then a movie is kacang putih i think for the mophie... biggrin.gif
for pricing...it's better if u ask the seller...
bcoz sellers may have different price for different package bought... biggrin.gif
the mophie can maintain my 3gs charge at 100% for almost 24 hrs....
thats quite an achievement since i game heavily. biggrin.gif

yap. but i notice the back is not so grip rite? its glossy.. so easy to slip..

anyway.. how if our phone drop? iphone and mophie will be in danger biggrin.gif

@manchurr,
You can get information about the Mophie Air from forummer Jacquie.  Her asking price as stated on her GS is RM300.  Lots of people like glossy and I don't think there's gonna be much problems holding onto it; I mean, the iPhone is glossy too!

if its not that slippery.. than it would be good la.. will ask Jacquie for more details. thx!

just want to ask you guys opinion. some of my friend said, if we buy a casing that covered the chrome, then to play games and etc will be less fun since the side casing that cover the chrome is in the way..

manchurr,
i've been playing games on my friend's iphone for a while. for very aggressive games where u need to drag some stuff out of the screen(ie Stick Wars), the casing protecting the chrome will definitely block ur finger movement when u try to slide it off the edge.

hence when i asked for sifus' opinion here on wat case to get, my first criteria is tat it doesn't block the bezel.

as usual, everything has it's pros and cons: chrome might be dented/scrached if phone falls.

ultimately, decision is up to u.
*
thanks! very hard to decide la. now looking to incase slider, its also cover the chrome.

or maybe i can buy the one without the chrome cover, and cover the chrome using shield?

according to the apple store personnel, this incase slider case just came in (freshly baked from the oven). it is so new, the description prints iPhone 3GS, instead of the typical 3G
