Anyone got one of these?
Mine arrived the other day from MyGearStore and I must say I love the case so far.
I have had a White Incase Slider on my 3GS since I got it but wanted somthing abit smaller and this is perfect in my opinion.
I got the sunset orange colour but it also comes in green, blue, purple and red

Im actually thinking of buying another one in a diffrent colour so I can swap them round diffrent days

I have got an element case.
They press all the right buttons in my eyes. Exspensive but very good.

The Solo Fx is a great case. Even better is the eBay knockoff for $6 that many say is better quality.
I got one and would never pay $35 for the brand name Solo.

yeah, i actually returned my slider (i wanted to like it, really!) and got the solo fx in exchange. they only had red and blue at my apple store so i got the red. i love love love the purple one so i'll get that one eventually... i can't justify buying anymore cases, it's getting a bit ridiculous. i spent well over $100 on them this summer, not adding them because don't want to know the truth. lol. :/

The copy ones that are on eBay are only $5.95 with free shipping
Iv been reading that they are ment to be good
When I get the two I ordered if they are good I will probably order the rest of the colours.

I've got the red one and the clear one. I love them both! The red one definitely stains skins, like if you have a BSE on the back. I found that out the hard way! I also just ordered 2 knockoffs from Ebay, and I'm hoping they are equally as awesome.

The only diffrence I have heard between the Real and the Fake one is
The Fake one the ports seem to fit better than the Real
On the Fake one it does not have the rails on the back at the bottom like the Real one and also on the Fake one the Plastic over the silent switch and over the volume rocker is straight and not raised like on the Real one.

then does all the iphone cases do the same when I charge my phone? I want some cases elegant or funny, but will be convenient if i have to charge it

Not all cases will work with docks because of the diffrent sizes of the cases

Just to update this I recived the fake cases the other week and there crap
There is flash on one side of the case that goes over the screen when you put the case on and it looks horrible there is also flash on the back of the case. That was on the green one
On the blue one I recived there is bits of black dirt stuck inside of the plastic which look like they have got into the plastic during the moulding process.

Just depends on where you get them from. I found that the knockoffs I got from ebay seller dcmugen88 were actually alot nicer than my actual iskin solo.
Way thinner, edges around the screen are shaped better and collect much less dust.

Not to break any hearts here but I think my 3G looks its best in its original skin. My girlfriend gifted me a blue case but I just couldn't get to like it as much as I wanted to. I've got a protective skin (http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/iphone-3g-scratch-proof-skins-screen-protectors-cases-covers.html) on it instead of the case ever since she noticed the case didn't look as great as she thought it would. Personally, I thought it compromised the look...lacked a certain amount of grace, in my view. :dft002:amazed

Yeah but it is going to compromise the look even more if you drop it with no case on.
