Thumbs up Post pics of your iphone case...

Since I got my switch easy case in the mail today I decided I'd share a few pics of it. As of now, I've left the crystal film screen protector I had on before and slid the red cover over that and everything still tracks well. I may leave it on for the week or snatch it off. Either way I love the way it looks and may grab the white case as well



If you have a cool case you'd like to display, this is the place to do it! Let's see what you got


Enjoy

when i finally decided I needed a case I ended up going with the Agent 18 hard case. It snaps in the middle so it doesnt fall apart, and it still keeps the design pretty slim.

Oh nice, I thought it was a rubber case, since I've seen a brand that looks just like that with the colors and all.

I may try it out at some point. I like the locking feature. I would never use the screen protector though.

yeah the screen protector takes some getting used to but its ok at best. I may remove it and just stick with the crystal film. Its tried and true/hands down the best. Just wish the red cover was like that too. I'd never go with another case

I love my anti-glare anti-fingerprint screen protector. I have no case, but that Capsule iPhone case looks really promising

Anti-finger-print? Python, can you post pics of what that looks like? If I can avoid these print/smudges I'm on my way to the Apple store after work for sure... If its antoglare, is it one of those screen things where you have to have the iphone directly in front of you so no one to the side can see? If so how does it effect brightness...like do you have to turn it up more so you can see?

It's not designed for anti-fingerprint but it is just a side effect that is incredible. I almost never have smudges and fingerprints on the screen and it is much easier to see. Also, the actual resistance on the finger is lower and a lot nicer to use. I am not kidding when I say everyone who has used my iphone now has the same screen protector on theirs. My bro ViperrepiV got one and I think he is very happy with the purchase.

edit: it does not negatively effect picture quality in any way

Of course after months of ownership and 10 minutes after this comment I put my first small scratch into the back of my phone. Note to self: don't leave phone on lap

While this isnt a pic of my phone (its actually a touch) I have the same exact case from invisa shield. I think it was 8 bucks and is freakin amazing. I have had this on my blackberry and my nano and they have held up great over the years not to mention the phone stays scratch free w/o a bulky case. The phone may feel alittle grippier and you can see it at certain angles like in this pic below but no one knows its there.



Oh i just ordered another invisa shield because I am going to replace the back with the black piece and the invisa makes it nice and shiney

Python, and 1stgen I just may have to go pickup the antiglare this weekend afterall! I too am guilty of the daily wipe routine. I don't mind doing it but I'd like to cut that back to about 1-2 x a week vs daily with my crystal film.

Oh yeah, I took the red screen cover off because it ...sucked. I think it looks great but because its not designed to protect the screen like the crystal film/aniglare screen covers it just kinda hangs there hovering over the screen and gets annoying when you try doing anything involving typing or seb surfing...so it had to go

I ended up picking up an "incase" at the apple store, just a rubber sleeve that is small and does not cover the screen. We'll see how long I keep it, I like its subtle simple design but my friend has a rubbery-er one which holds headphones and I can do better.

Hey all
Thats not actually my phone but i just bought the black piece from here . It is a bit pricey but looks really good.

As for the installation, it was pretty easy if you take your time and if you ever want to take it off it just peels with nothing left behind. You clean the phone up really well to make sure it free of finger prints and then you put the shield in a little water mixed with dish soap and lay it on the phone. Then you use a credit card to smooth the bubbles out and let it sit for like twenty minutes. Then i came back and held the edges down for 30 seconds or so so that they fold over nicely. I had to keep putting them down till i got it perfect but it was worth it. Then let it dry over night and you are good to go

Let me know if you have any questions, i will try and check this thread daily

Damn that black iPhone housing is sexy as hell! I however do not have the testicular fortitude to carry through with such a thing. If it were less than $40 and swapping out the housing was as easy as prying it off and popping the new one in, I probably would get it.... but as it stands it looks like I will have to settle.

Sarlacc, did you find the invisi shield or the antiglare screen cover? I finally went out this weekend looking for the invisi sheild but no one at Apple, AT&T or Best Buy knew what I was talking about until I pulled up this site and showed them from the iphone...then they were like oooouu and aweing but still weren't any help.

Costco you could always spray paint the back lol I saw a youtube listing once about some guy wanting to do that but haven't seen the video yet...haha

I got the anti glare cover. I like the lack of smudges. They didnt really bug me, but not having them at all is even better. The anti glare is very very nice as well, but it does affect the contrast and decreases it, which I knew it would do.
