Default Casecrown Glider cheaper, better alternative for Incase




For just over 9 dollars my mind is blown. The felt lining on the inside of the case, the feel of it in your hand, the way it slides over the iPhone like butter. It's amazing.

I ordered mine in black for my black 16gb iPhone, and when my wife saw it and felt it she had to get the purple and red ones for her black 16gb.

It's like the InCase slider, but not as slippery and just...damn sexy in your hand.

Matte Finish Colors
Black/Red/Purple/Blue


Only for 9.21 a case with free shipping..

I got two for 20.48 should have gotten 3 or 4!!



this is not an ad but a review!! just check out the site and decide for your self

Casecrown.com

Interesting. I've been hearing a lot of talk on this forum and elsewhere about these cases, and I hadn't heard of them until recently. I'll have to look into them, but I'm still rocking my CandyShell and Moshi iGlaze now. Love them!

Oh and PS. I absolutely HATE the Incase Slider because the inside of it scratched my iPhone...

mmmm I am just trying them out and I got to say they feel GREAT!! the lining is on point, very soft felt it actually feels nice to slide your Iphone in and out.
The bottom part of the case fits tightly which is always a must for the two piece case type. Hands down better then the INCASE slider which I will guarantee will scratch the back of your phone.
The quality is good and it feels very sturdy. I'm very comfortable with this in my hands.

I will be posting up pictures of my two cases.[Black] [Amethyst]


I suggest you pick this up while it's on sale!

9.21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm still shocked lol

I am with you. Will never go back to sliders after what it did to my v1.

I do however really like the casecrown cases!

Actually just bought the fuchsia case, and the gray and white striped cases for my fiance and I. Also a laptop case from them as well. I still have my Moshi iGlaze of course, but wanted to have something to swap it out with. Will post a review when they come.

Has anyone tried the Polycarbonate Slim?

Does it also have the felt on the inside? It sucks that the Glider doesn't come in white. Do you guys think a black case on my white iphone will look good?

I just got this case in the mail today. Idk how you got free shipping, mine was 4.95. Oh well. The case fits nice, and it good quality, not cheap ****. The felt inside makes me feel so relieved and not stressed about scratches like my invade did. The casecrown on the back is a sticker, buts is a high quality one, and it's indented in the case so it's flush. The only thing that bugs me is that the camera isn't percectly centered in the hole in the case. Not a big deal though.

And I got a coupon in the package too. Casecrown777 for 7.77% off

EDIT: well so far after a day of use ive notices a few more minor problems. it actually does not fit as well as it seemed. on the top, where the screen is, the case does not quite fit. its kind of hard to explain. where the case "bends" over the top of the phone to keep it in place, it doesnt actually come over 'enough.' i can still see, in some parts, the chrome casing around my phone. its not all the way around, which i why i decided this to be a con. its just a minor problem, i just felt like mentioning it. another minor thing: the felt causes the case to slip off under minor pressure. it stays on pretty tight, but if you try and remove it, it comes off very easily (compared to my old incase)

EDIT AGAIN: i guess what im trying to say in this review is that it is a very good case for the money, but dont expect perfection. i would recommend it over and incase. but if you want perfection, dont expect it here

To the people who have ordered, how long did it take for you to get it?

I ordered mine exactly two weeks ago today and I'm still waiting on it.

P.S. The USPS tracking system sucks.
