Thanks for the reply.

Only reason I ask is that on the incase website a user said that the gloss white case was hard to remove the iPhone out of (mine should be hopefully arriving at the end of the week).....

"I too, bought the glossy white at my local apple retail store, the white fits perfectly, almost too perfect. It was a super tight fit, too get on, and it created bubbles for my anti-glare screen protector. So I tried to take it off, it does take awhile to pry it off. I recommend get a friend or two, one hold the top portion (not the sides, but the top and bottom portion), while the other person(s) hold the Iphone. All at once slowly try to pull, so you don’t scratch the case. The rubber part will make some minor scratches when prying it off, it won’t be seen directly, but indirectly at an angle. It will slowly take a (long time), to take off. It’s more like a tenth of inch at a time, The problem is when you are prying it off, the traction of the rubber, and the plastic body, and the fact that its nearly a perfect fit, makes taking the case off an extremely tough task to do. The chrome bezel as sensitive as it is, might get scratched in the process. How one holds the top portion, and the ones holding the Iphone, will ultimately decide if there will be some unnoticeable light scratches. I love the case because it works. However, endlessly trying to pry it off, and the quality of the case, has made me definitely either wait for a better batch, or return the case. The quality, has some slight flaws in the molding, the first generation iphone incase slider was perfectly well made, and of higher quality in construction. This one has some imperfections around certain portions."

That sounds like quite a chore. Mine is not that difficult to remove as I mentioned earlier. I remove it daily when I charge.

There's another Incase Slider thread here where dimensiondvdrob had the same issues with the screen protector bubbling up when he tried to put the case on. Fortunately this was not my situation. Although after reading your post I'm concerned again that I may run into some problems when I change my film out next time. Initially I thought I may have gotten lucky and applied the protector perfectly. Then I thought perhaps Rob's case wall ill-formed. Now I'm back to being confused on the issue.

After typing that last paragraph I began doubting myself again and stopped to remove the case once again. I definitely don't need any assistance to remove it. I'm thinking you guys may have gotten cases that don't fit properly. I can't recall which color case Rob purchased. If white, maybe there's an issue with that case. I have the matte black one.

I hope mine arrives at the end of the week.

But looking at the incase website it seems the gloss white case is a very tight fit.

Hopefully I'll find out soon.

i got mine yesterday, it is a very nice fit, just like the slider for the original iPhone, i havent tried to take it out yet since im a little afraid of scratching the plastic although there are strips of like a silicone going the length of the inside of the case...

Don't worry it won't scratch it. I take mine out of the case everytime (daily) I charge my phone.

I bought the incase slider case a week ago at the apple store. I put the case on my phone the same day and have not been able to take it off since. It's impossible to remove the bottom part, it's just way too tight. I contacted incase customer support today to tell them what was going on, the rep knew right away cause she asked me if I had a white case. She said that for some reason the white cases are having that problem. She told me just to try to break it off and that she would send me out a new case today. Great customer support.

my case was a little snug when putting it in but i didnt mess up my screen protector. i really like the feel of the matte black case. as for the bottom fit it will come off it you want it to but its not going to fall off during normal use.

To the people who own this case, is the case very grippy....

If so would it be hard to get out of your jean pockets for example?

kenneth · 08-27-2008, 02:36 AM

no this case comes right out of your pocket. it works well in everything you do with your phone. very good case. i bought it without even seeing one and i was a little worried but it turned out better than i thought it would be.

Cool, thanks, i was a little worried because of the plastic backing, i had the slider for my original phone and took it out often because i wasnt too worried about the metal backing on that phone
