I just received the new iSkin Revo case and holster. Great case, fits perfectly, has the protection for the headset jack and also the connection where the charger is attached, all perfectly fitted. The plastic screen protector also fits well on the front and back (for storage) of the case, no issues. Shipping was fast as it was shipped the very next day after ordering, I ordered late afternoon so there was no way it could go out the same day. Took about a week to receive it via UPS Ground shipping which was okay since it has to go through Customs.
Got my case-mate naked case after almost a month of waiting...
Def not worth the wait.
The case arrived OEM style, no retail packaging but they were kind enough to include a note saying the packaging was being revised and they didn't want anyone to have to wait any longer than they have to. Don't really care personally but others might.
My excitement was cut short when I saw a bad scratch on the back and the front plate was cracked at the bottom. At first I was like "ok, I waited long enough for this maybe I'll just deal with it" until I put it on the 3g iphone. The fitment was less than stellar, with gaps in the top where it should be a flush mate. The face shield can stick to the iphone's screen causing a temporary "wet" effect where it sticks only where you hvae touched (yes I have cleaned the screen and the faceplate). The lock button is so recessed my larger type finger cannot fit in the hole very easily and pushing in to hit the button is met with a sharp plastic edge which isn't very comfortable. Seems all the buttons are this way. The case itself is pretty thick which made it impossible to use in any hip holster. Didn't realize this was how they are made which is my fault.
I have sent an email to case-mate customer support requesting refund. Picked up a front shield from "invisibleshield" and if that works out well I'll get the backing for it.
There was a date on the site Aug 14 but I think thet removed the date. Hope it's a good fit when it finally is available; I definitely want one...Originally Posted by Tug
Im a firm believer in communication especially when it comes to a business transaction, that being said I have written to iSkin on 3 different occasions and have yet to receive a response. I figure if their customer service is that bad BEFORE I send them my money whats it going to be like AFTER?
Chances are I'll wait and purchase from Speck.
Does it scratch the back or chrome when you put it on and take it off?
I emailed them at least three times before ordering and always got a response by the next day at the latest. Their communications with me was excellent so too bad you haven't had the same experience. I used the link on their web site and they were excellent at answering all my questions in a timely manner.
Just received an email from Speck, their Tough Skin Rugged Rubber Case for the Iphone 3G is now in stock.
I'm going to order mine in the morning.

Already ordered mine
Thanks your share
IMO Having a protective case on an iPhone kinda shows you are clumsy enough to drop it that you need that protection. It reminds me of this movie where the mom taped a thick foam on her son coz he is going for soccer practice LoL. I like it simple and leave it the way it is. I like the way it looks without the case it shows that you can handle delicate things. How can you enjoy your phone if you are going to cover it? Just imagine Getting a ferarri and wrapping it with some kind of plastic case while driving so you dont get dents ROFL. Then again its just an opinion. Relax its just a phone!
