New Seido INNOCASE for iPhone - Page 4

I actually received mine this past Saturday. It said it would start shipping this Monday when I originally ordered it late last Monday night, but during the week they changed that to "shipping now" and received it that following Saturday.

Anyway, I really love the case, It is very slim, feels great to the touch and has the chrome bezel showing all the way around, which I love. I am extremely satisfied.

If you get time, can you post some pics?

I just received my black Innocase! I'll post pictures later on tonight, but my initial impressions? AWESOME! This is everything I wanted out of a case.

I like it's slim fit, plus totally love the soft touch paint. I used to have a black Moto Q and missed the "grippy" feeling the phone had. The Innocase has the same feel! I didn't want a lint magnet like the InCase rubber case; you know, the sticky rubber feeling. I feel like I can push/pull this out of my jeans pocket without it finding what was left in the wash. The chrome bezel does show around the flush part of screen, but I think that adds to the overall look of the case.

I've heard people say that they don't think this will protect the screen well. The case-mate signature I have has a very bulky area where the screen and the case meet (It actually is a small hindrance when typing). If the phone was dropped while in the case-mate, more than likely the case would deflect any scratches to the screen. The Innocase has about a 1mm rounded lip where it comes into contact with the screen from all sides. It doesn't sound like a lot, but if you flip the phone down face first, you can instantly tell it's the case touching the surface, and not your phones screen.

The case construction is very solid. When you slide on the top piece of the case, there is an entire backing of felt on the interior of the case. So when pushing the phone in the upper part of the case, it's a nice, snug fit.

The only concern I have is the wear and tear that the little button on the back can handle. To remove the case, you have to press a catch button on the back while squeezing the sides to pull the lower portion off. If you dock it a lot, I could see this button/side latches getting bent, or even worse, broken. I'll keep you all updated as time goes on as to the wear and tear of the case itself.

That's my initial impressions, anyone else that just received it want to add anything? Again, I'll post pics later.

Here are a few pics I took (or tried to take) of the new case. This is the burgundy case.

Thanks for the pics. When did you orders yours. I ordered mine on the 24th. I'm hoping it comes as quick as yours did. I can't wait to get mine. Got the black one. But the burgundy's lookin' pretty slick. From your pics it DOES look thinner than the Agent 18. I'm hoping it doesn't add as much wait than the 18.

I had ordered mine late on the 21st and received it on the 26th. I was actually surprised to see it arrive so fast. I expected it to come sometime during this week. The case itself is very light. But the iphone itself is quite heavy for a phone, so any added weight is negligible.

All three colors looked real good on their site. It was a hard choice to make.

How noticeable is the latch thing on the back?

I had ordered my Innocase/belt clip combo last Thursday, was delivered yesterday (Tuesday) in Chicago. I love the case, however, mine shows an equal amount of bezel all the way around. The pictures included in this thread seem to only show some bezel at the top. I wonder if this is just a manufacturing thing?

No, mine shows the same amount of bezel all the way around. It only shows the bezel where the glass surface is flush with the bezel (before it starts curving down the sides). Looking at the case from an angle, it looks as if it's showing less bezel, but from dead on it's a different story.

How do you like the holster with it?
