Hi there... first time posting here but I've been reading for a while. Will be the proud owner of a 16GB 3GS soon (fingers crossed) and looking seriously at the Sena Magnetflipper. Anyone here with experience using this case?

Thanks. I've looked through this thread and it's been very helpful. Did find that most of the members here prefer the hard/silicon style casing. I agree they show off the phone way better but I need something I can throw in the handbag and not worry about the screen getting scratched by all the junk I carry in it. That's why I'm thinking of the Sena and a good screen shield, maybe the Martin Fields if I can find one.

Yup, a wee bonnie lass . I've always thought that the SGP / Zagg shield was like a "laminate"/shrink-wrap type of clear plastic film - it doesn't add that much bulk onto the phone, does it? How durable are they anyway - have read that they'll peel off and yellow after a while which was the main thing that put me off the idea in the first place.

I second that opinion since I'm using one for the iPod Touch. The battery life is actually quite good since it manages to charge my Touch from near zero to full two times before giving out. My solution to the loose connection problem is very low tech though - all you need is a couple of rubber bands snapped on while the phone is in ur bag / pocket.

Heh, now you know why I keep it in the bag Having said that, I'm using it on the Touch but I can't imagine relying on it for backup power (rubber band style) for my day to day use of the iPhone. I'd splurge on a Mophie if portability turns out to be a big deal since the iTrip doubles up as a charger in car.

In any case, I'll be able to give you first hand info soon - waiting for my Sena Magnetflipper to arrive in the mail . Yeah, it's pretty expensive but I've used their cases in the past and they are really well made.

RM80 for a screen protector? If it's good, why not? But now you've got me curious about which one it might be.

You can get it direct from Sena online. Shipping is pretty fast and reasonable.

Does anyone have this experience with the screen protectors that come with the Switcheasy cases? I got the Colors with the iPhone today and after installing the SP that came with it, the screen shows a "rainbow" pattern.

If it's anything like the one they enclose with the Colors, then you definitely need to get another one. The one I got was poor quality and had the rainbow effect.

Really arr? I'm so tempted to rip the annoying thing off even after just three days . What case are you using right now?

Just wondering if anyone here has bought from momoboxx before. The pricing for their cases is very attractive

You're probably right but there aren't many places to go to in Penang that sells iPhone accessories. I'm looking for the Candyshell and so far no luck around these parts.

Got the Speck Candyshell I ordered from momoboxx and it rocks ! Even though it adds some bulk to the phone, the overall feel is still very sleek and sturdy.The Colors I've been using for the last week is a good case with plenty of grip but it kept getting caught in my pocket at work. I was considering a slider case but the girl at Switch advised me against it if I was going to carry the phone in my pocket - they apparently come apart very easily.

So first impression - I'm liking this case a lot but this needs to be verified in the real world (aka work) tomorrow. A couple of things that needs getting used to - the power button is pretty stiff right now so it takes a bit of finger strength to work it and the case feels really slippery in the hand so I'm gonna have to be a bit more careful about not dropping the phone.

So,until Christmas (at least) this is going to be favourite case. Heh!

Is the case made of metal? I thought it's hard plastic with a metallic colour coating.

I don't suppose you mean one of those pouch cases that comes with a lanyard like the Golla range?

*edited* Belated saw your link and realised that I asked a stupid question - oops!*

GS = Garage Sales here at LYN.

Depends on what style you're looking for. I've used the Colors and it's a good silicone case - plenty of drop protection but catches a lot of lint. Saw the new Torrent and it looks really nice. Kinda like the Capsule Neo but with a better grip and brighter colours. Maybe you can check that out.

Got it for RM80 from Switch in Penang. I think the RRP is RM89. They carry most of the Switcheasy range there including the new Torrent, Reptile and Vulcan.

Do you mean something like this? The leather they use is really nice.
