Capsule Rebel case by SwitchEasy

http://www.switcheasy.com/products/Rebel/Rebel.html

Just wanted to know what you think of this case before i order one online. My main concern is how well it covers the chrome edgs on the face of the iphone. Does it do a good job?
Also how much did you pay for it and where from?

cheers

i had one. covers all the crome. One thing that annoyed me was it pushed up one of the corners of my screen protector. But great value. comes with 2 screen protectors and a plug to protect the charging hole.

I have one, great case in IMO, got it from www.rushfaster.com.au
I have found it to provide excellent protection while not adding too much bulk. As said above, the kit it comes with is pretty decent to, including 2 screen protectors (i screwed up the application of my first one), a stand, universal dock adapter etc. As far as the protection of the chrome edges go, i found the bottom edge of the chrome has got a little scratched cause the edge of the case is a bit flexy there... really doesnt bother me though.

Overall I think its a fantastic case and would highly recommend it. Looks good to :)

I have one of these, it's white in colour. I found it a little bulky for my liking and as such I no longer use it. If anyone's interested it's theirs for $15. Pickup available from Melbourne CBD. PM me if interested.

It won't come with the screen protector plastic-film, (it's not reusable) though it came with two it took me two tries to get it right!

I have one, covers the chrome fine – I dropped my phone for the first time onto the road the other week, it bounced about on the corners of the case but there's maybe a few scuff marks (2-3 to only one corner), no real visible damage to the case (being black helps), and of course the phone is perfect. This imo made the case well worth it in itself :) And being

Mine sags a little at the bottom (near the charger port) and doesnt cover entirely :( but then i used it with a full body invisible shield so guess its my fault as well... still its great and i love the design.. might just buy another one just to try if it fits right & doesnt sag(cos my 1st invisible shield was crappy and i had since had a replacement which is alot better and smoother)

Just get it in nextbyte stores.. can't remember exactly but i think its around $30-40
Tho i bought mine from rushfaster.com.au ($30 after $5 new member discount)

I've got the yellow & black one (Richmond colours) and I'm very impressed by it. Grippy but still slides, terrific protection. Had to buy it from the US, though, due to the colour selection.

The yellow and back one and other colour combinations is now available from Rushfaster albeit at $35.

I've got one – great case for the price. Iphone sits in nice and snug and it doesnt add too much extra bulk to the phone. Recommended.

I'm also using one.
Find it great!
Although they did release the Neo after I had bought the Rebel...
I think I would have purchased that one – better overall look.

Had one – sagged at the bottom, showed to much chrome around the front and the black gloss spine scratches easily.

Get the Neo – addresses all the above issues.

I was actually looking at getting the Colour instead of the rebel after i read some reviews. Its gets rated as number 1 on ilounge and they have reviewd alot of cases and also on youtube people are raving about it.

It looks a bit dorky with the jellybean front button but it protects the phone beatifully with all the chrome edges covered as well.

anyone have one of these? what do you think?
