This has got to be one of the coolest looking cases on the market today. It’s construction is a very unique 2 piece case. The first layer is a softer material. Not as soft as silicone, but bendable, harder rubber. It’s hard to explain. Pliable, soft, and durable. The phone slips into this piece first, and it protects the bevel, sides, and bottom of the case. It’s a matt finish, and does a great job of not picking up lint. The second part of the case, is a hard plastic that snaps in place, and looks like the spine of the case. This also protects the 4 corners, and the top of the case.

SwitchEasy gives you a lot of amazing accessories with their cases. Small, and appreciated items like a dock connector plug, (with the Neo, a Earphone plug), the basic microfiber cloth, screen protectors, a squeegee to install said protector, a stand to watch movies with, and probably the smartest feature, that EVERY case company NEEDS to include, a universal dock adapter that fits the cased phone. Absolutely brilliant idea.

Back to the Rebel. It looks amazing, has great protection, and pure style and class. ONE thing stopped me from loving this case, and that was the softer material used on the bottom portion of the phone. The soft matt rubber type would bend and sag exposing the bevel a bit. The fit was not perfect, and because it’s so easy to move around, any bit of dust or dirt under the case would scratch the hell out of it.

I wrote SwitchEasy, explaining my issue, and this amazing company told me to keep the case, and they would send me out a Neo instead to see if I liked that better.

Overall, I would recommend this case, but I think I would have to give Switcheasy's CapsuleNEO a better review.

This is it! This is the case you need to get for your Iphone 3g. I have spent the past month trying out different cases left and right, and this one is by far the best case out there. It is very durable, feels like it could take a fall. It is also VERY sexy, looks great and I have gotten tons of compliments on it. I originally purchased the red and black case, and I like it so much that I just purchased a completely black one as well. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED WITH THIS CASE.

 

Excellent Case!

I gave this case fives in every category because I believe it deserves it! I was skeptical at first because a few people were having some problems with the case fitting around the bottom bezel of the phone. Let me tell you that I have zero problems! It fits perfectly. The bottom part of the case does have some give to it, but it definitely covers it completely.


I would also like to comment on the look of the case. I got the complete white one (Rebel White) and I think it is very sexy. I have the black Iphone 3G, but I wanted to get the white. This white case is a GREAT substitute! I've already had this case turn heads and I've only been using it for close to a week now.



Lastly, I'd like to talk about durability and build. The case has a very nice feel to it and when holding the phone, I feel like the case would protect to phone from a drop. The hard "rib-like" outer case is quality and I trust it to protect my iphone from a fall. Don't hesitate when thinking about purchasing this case! GREAT buy!

 

Solid case - best protection Iv seen so far.

Full stars from me - not only is this case a good fit it also protects all of the buttons and the port.



This case is in three parts - the screen protector first, then the rubber skin, then the plastic spine which keeps it all locked together and firm.



The power button and volume switch are covered by the rubber skin. The port connector has a little rubber bung which fits perfect and will stop any dust getting in. This was the winning factor for me.



It looks good and does not add that much bulk to the dimensions of the phone. You could probably drop it and it would be ok - but Im not going to test this. Its available in a range of colors but as I have the white iphone I choose the white case. This will probably get grubby over time but I picked this case up from america for £14 delivered so if I get a year out of it I'll be happy.



The only down side for me is the need for another cover (a slip case) to keep it safe in my pocket. I am sure this case would keep it safe but any loose change or keys will scratch the screen protector or rubber.
