Moshi iGlaze 3G/3GS case

[Europa]

I am loving my new cranberry iGlaze iPhone 3GS case! It feels and looks awesome. It provides grip but doesn't have the friction that makes it difficult to take it in/out of your pocket. I just ordered a white one for my black 3G.

HMMMM...
di you steal my phone??
:D

[chris]

Looks nice. Guessing this would fit over an Invisible shield?

[bubbatex]

This is pretty much the same as a Incipio Feather and Case-Mate Barely There? I am looking at those 2, just trying to decide if I want the cut-out for the logo or not!

Yours was cheaper than those 2, right?

[macscac]

get the logo cut!!!
proudly display that apple!!!

[Europa]

HMMMM...
di you steal my phone??
:D
Nope, but I got the idea from you ;)
I saw your pics and had to have it!

Thanks. I watched a video review on it yesterday, and I think I remember them saying it doesn't work with the Invisible shield.

It was $20 on Amazon.

It comes with a small cleaner cloth, a small round plastic piece to put over the Apple logo, and a screen protector.

[seanwes]

Mine should be here tomorrow! :D I too saw macscac's pics and fell in love. I got the red as well. I really really like the look you guys have with the red case and white iPhone. I had a white 3G, and I was supposed to have a white 3GS, but because of my predicament (http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/iphone-3gs/guess-what-the-iphone-3gs-i-just-bought-had-a-broken-button-49271.html), I currently have a black phone. I think it'll look ok, but not quite as nice as the white phone with it. I'll post pics anyway when I get it though.

[Europa]

macscac, I'm posting your pics on this thread as well, since they are far superior in quality than mine and show what it REALLY looks like.

[bubbatex]

Thanks for the close ups - is it more matte and thus not as slick as a polished one? I think the Case-Mate one is more polished. I can't find any locally so I'll have to take a chance and just order one!

[Europa]

It's the best of both worlds, it's not slippery like some of the plastic cases or a naked phone, but it doesn't go overboard with grip like silcone cases. I absolutely love the feel of it!

[glsda]

I googled Moshi cases and did not find a web site. Do they have one that shows all their cases or do you just have to pick a retailer and go from there?

I found it www.moshimonde.com.

[Europa]

I didn't find a website either, so I just went with Amazon.com. They don't have a big variety of colors, just cranberry, graphite black, and milk white.

[glsda]

Thanks Europa. Sometime I get a brain cramp and forget to check Amazon.

[lady_bugz22]

You may also want to check wirelessrage.com They have them for $19.99

[Europa]

Amazon has them for $20 (with free shipping on orders over $25 IIRC).

[seanwes]

Mine was $16.99 free ship on eBay.

[macscac]

i purchased both of mine from ebay.
i paid 17 dollars shipped each..
they come w/ a screen protector and a back apple emblem cover.

if you like minimal, you can do NO better.
its the perfect combo of slick and grippy.
i wear a suit so its so easy to slide in my slacks pocket yet i have a firm grip on it while texting while walking or whatnot.

im actually going to pick up a black one as well..
i think the black case w/ the white apple logo behind will look sharp

[macscac]

here is the white.
imo, its the best looker.

[macscac]

those pics were taken on my wifes 3g
they fit perfectly on my 3gs as well

[glsda]

Those are great pics thanks. I am going to order one for my self and my wife.

[lady_bugz22]

I'm also going to be ordering one.

[glsda]

I just ordered a black one at 16.85 for myself and a red one for my wife at 18.95 on eBay .

[lady_bugz22]

I just ordered a white one off Ebay

[seanwes]

I just got my red one in today. It feels so sexy! It's like velvet feeling almost, but grippy, yet slides into your pocket effortlessly! This is my favorite case in 2 years of iPhones.

If you like that minimalistic look, this is the one!

[Jimb0311]

Does anyone have a black phone with the white moshi cover? I would like to see before i purchase.

ETA: i ordered the last white one on ebay anyways. Ill post how the white looks on the black 3G

[Europa]

I do. I just got the white case for my black 3G yesterday. I'll snap a couple pics and upload them.

[seanwes]

Oh that's pretty sweet looking actually. I have the red case, and I really want it on the white phone I'm getting (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.everythingicafe.com%2Fforum%2 Fiphone-3gs%2Fguess-what-the-iphone-3gs-i-just-bought-had-a-broken-button-49271.html&ei=Ty5UStKLK8iYtge704WjCA&usg=AFQjCNGcXYZTQBjXrG3mrNKNwjKxCPp_CQ&sig2=-4czqtH7V6JUBKtUIxQrYw), but it looks ok on the black for now.

That looks better than I thought it would though. :)

[Jimb0311]

Oh yeah! Better than i thought. Thanks Europa.

[lady_bugz22]

I just got my white case today. I love the feel of it!! I'm just nervous about if I was to drop it & if it landed face down.

[glsda]

I just received a red one that I ordered and the black one should be in by tomorrow. I showed the red one to my wife and she now has it on her 3gs so by default I get the black one. I really like the minimalist look and the great feel. As someone has already posted it has the right combination of appearance and feel.

[seanwes]

Yay! Got my white iPhone finally. Looks beautiful!

[zahid]

really nice looks great, seems like a strong case...

[KabaModern]

Just ordered mine for $19.99 shipped from www.wirelessrage.com, can't wait!

No, you can't! This will be your new favorite case. :ok:ok

[KabaModern]

No, you can't! This will be your new favorite case. :ok:ok

Haha, I know! It should be here tomorrow. I have the white iPhone and ordered the Cranberry color - love the combination!

[LS2GTO]

Agh I really want this case but does it have a nice lay on the table design (does the case go above the bezel) ?

*edit: For you cranberry owners, how is the finish on it? Does it get scratched easy? My GF had the pink incase slider, which had a rubbery pink matte finish sprayed onto the underlying glossy pink. The rubbery matte part, within a week, started chipping away at the edges, exposing the gloss pink underneath. Does this case have that problem?

[kb1gra]

case does not go above the bezel. Finish is matte and doesn't scratch very easily. It's not a matte paint with a gloss underneath, it's that color through and through.

I just got these into the store and am having fun trying them out :)

[isal]

Could anyone suggest a website where I can purchase this case in Canada? On Amazon it costs $45 and $32ish Ebay

Thanks!

[kb1gra]

I ship to canada, so it would be $25 USD including shipping which is $27 CAD. Typically arrives within a week.

[isal]

Great! I'll order today.

[Andrew_]

Looks very nice. I'm currently looking for a new case and I think I just found the one I want. :)
What colors does it come in?

[kb1gra]

It comes in black, red, and white.

This case suck imo. I bought the white one a month ago. After a week it started peeling everywhere.

I didn't do anything. Normal wear and tear. Here are some poor quality pics.

[seanwes]

Wow, mine has light scuff, but nothing like that.

Anyone else have any peeling? Is this only the white ones?

[Jimb0311]

Damn that case looks tore up!! Where did you purchase it from? Maybe a fake copy floating around?

[seanwes]

Nah, idk... that would be one pretty legit-lookin' copy.

[Kensta]

Got it from ebay. Seller was be-myguest. Might be a fake. Never know.

[macscac]

you must have acid sweat.
seriously...
ive had my moshi's for a few months now.
i rock the black case 90% of the time but i have not had any wear and tear on mine.
at all.
you either have a bad case or a reaction to your skin.

lol wtf. Or maybe it's only the white one that has this issue.

[macscac]

my wife has been using the white one for the past 3 weeks..
its a bit dirty but no peeling or fading.
she is rough on things...
if it was going to happen, it wouldve started by now.
im convinced its a bad case or the user

[Europa]

lol wtf. Or maybe it's only the white one that has this issue.
Nope. I have a white one on my 3G. I've had it on there for about a month. Still looks brand new aside from a couple tiny scuff marks (which IMO are only visible because it's white). Absolutely no peeling like yours.

I'm wondering if yours is an imitation, but don't know why anyone would go to the trouble for such a low cost item.

Also, maybe it's just your picture or the lighting, but it looks grey/silver with white underneath. It should be milk white.

[Europa]

I just took a pic of mine to show how they are all still in great shape. No peeling at all. I bought them new on Amazon.com. Since you bought it used, I'm thinking the seller coated it with something that is now peeling off. I can't say enough good things about the Moshi cases. I'm 100% satisfied with them.

Um I never said I bought it used. It was brand new. Came in the box with the screen protector and lil wipe thing and all.

[Europa]

Oh, ok sorry. I just assumed that since you got it on eBay.

Either way, that peeling is not typical of these cases. I still think someone coated it with something.

[KabaModern]

Yeah I have the red one. It rocks! No peeling of any sort. Looks like you got a bad one or perhaps a fake one, as already stated.

[Andrew_]

Just ordered the Graphite Black one last night.
Can't wait for it to get here.

[KabaModern]

My Mosh iGlaze 3G case just cracked at the volume control and ringer switch. It's very thin there, be careful. I dropped it on a hardwood floor. The case is NOT sturdy for drops.

BE WARNED!

[Andrew_]

I'm just worried about getting it before I worry about dropping it. :)
I bought if off Amazon.. first time buying something on the Internet.
Fun.

Nice - you should have no problems. You'll love the case, but hate it if you ever drop your iPhone. FYI...

[Europa]

It's a minimalist phone meant to protect the back from scratches and provide a little grip. It's not an Otterbox. Aside from not worrying about getting scratches on the back, I treat like it's naked.

[martincooper]

I absolutely love the feel of it

I'm aware of that. I'm just stating you're pretty screwed if you drop it.

[Watcher]

I know you guys will probably laugh at this case but I just bought my second one after a year because it stretches out especially if you take your iPhone in and out of the case a lot. It's the Marware SportGrip for iPhone 3G (http://www.amazon.com/Marware-Sport-Grip-iPhone-Black/dp/B001B4C12Y). It covers the bottom and has holes around the mic, speaker and charging area. It works for the 3GS also as my buddy bought one for his and loves it. Talk about grippy! This sucker won't even slide off steeply angled surfaces! I also dropped it several times from the height of my hand at my ear to the concrete and my iPhone has yet to have a scratch or display any signs of rough treatment. :dft003:coolkid :ok:ok

Watcher, stop hijacking with your non-Moshi iGlaze case in this thread! :dft012:wink

[Bilal]

Ok mine is really messed up. I got a black one about a month ago from mygearstore.com

Thats a pretty reputable shop. Anyways i think i got legit bad one though. I dont think its fake because of the packaging and the moshi cloth and screen protector.

Maybe they had some bad batches or runs.

And believe me i have babied the case. This is from pulling it in and out of a clean jean pocket with nothing else in it.

[seanwes]

Is that the lighting, or has the black been all but scratched off?

[Europa]

Well, that's two people that have had problems with the coating chipping/rubbing off. Maybe they had some bad batches? I've had mine for three months now and they still look like new.

[KabaModern]

Yeah same here. But then again, every time I hear about the coating coming off, it's always on the black ones...

[Europa]

I've only heard of two that had peeling issues. The first was white, the second was black.

[KabaModern]

Yeah. I have the red and never had it peel nor have I heard any peeling issues with it.

[Woody dog]

I have the ivyskin t4. Great case but does not fit in my carpenter jean pocket. And that is a must at work. Just ordered the moshi red. I cant wait.

[Woody dog]

I got my case yesterday. It is a nice case. Do most people use the screen protector or not ?

[seanwes]

^ Do you like the one that came with it?

[kapolani]

The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have a lip to protect the face of the phone. My wife would love this case though.

I found that thread. I like the case, but I read the review that stated the chrome edge could get scratched by the case which is a deal breaker for me.

Nice case though.

only the top or bottom...

if you are looking for 100% drop protection... neither are the cases for you.

[Andrew_]

I received my case about three weeks ago and I love it. It does everything I want it to do. I recommend it to anyone who needs a good case.

Finally, the Moshi iGlaze is now available in two new colors, neon blue and luscious pink.

I'm going to order a blue one, I think it will a lot nicer on the white iPhone that it does on the black.

Very nice! I'll have to look into the Blue one myself, with the white iPhone. My cranberry one took a beating and the plastic cracked/snapped in a few places...

[Europa]

Mine are still holding up good.

Blue was my first choice all along, but personally, I would have rather seen ultraviolet than pink.

[juls1585]

i really like that case. im gunna have to look into it. i need something new and from the looks of it its pretty close to naked when that is the case on the phone.

[KabaModern]

Yes, well....mine dropped on pavement a few times... :dft002:amazed

What is with the two holes on the back bottom of the phone case?

[Europa]

No, centripital acceleration while on roller coasters and when in a constant state of free fall. Think of a satalite or monolith. It allows you to catch the device when you make the next pass.

[Andrew_]

My black one I ordered around a month ago is holding up great.. it does everything I want it to and hasn't caused any problems or become damaged.

[macscac]

europa... did you order that blue?

[Europa]

Not yet, but I'm going to later on today.

I'll post pics after it arrives.

[macscac]

please do.
i would like to see what it looks like in real light
:)

[Europa]

I was set to order it, but the only place I could find that had that color, had 2-3 week shipping and I'm not sure if they are even in the US. Additionally, the price was double what they are on Amazon. I'm going to wait it out a little bit longer.

Europa, I was in the exact same situation last night! I was ready to order directly from them (considering they're the only place I could find the blue color), but then I saw Standard shipping was 2-3 weeks and if you wanted Express or whatever, it was like an additional $13 dollars or whatever!

I don't think so....

[Europa]

Nice how they don't mention the 2-3 week shipping until you create an account and are ready to purchase, eh?
