Has anyone had any hands on with the new Matte Slider?
blackmatte1.jpg


I'm looking for a case for my iPhone and the Matte looks perfect.


For the finest in sleek, durable protection, the ultra slim Slider Case for iPhone is made of hardshell plastic and features a minimal wall thickness of 1mm. Interior rubber guardrails provide shock absorption in addition to impact and scratch protection and the removable bottom cover makes for easy dock connection. Black matte, rubberized soft-touch coating provides added grip and contrast sophistication.
 
Would like to see some reviews as well, but the only thing that I'm afraid of is sliding the phone in and out of the case will cause scratches to the metal bezel.
 
Probably on Back Order?

I have been trying to purchase it from their website for the past few days now. Every time I type in my shipping address the submit order button disappears. What gives?

Order it from the Apple Store. My White Incase Slider came in less than 24 hours, shipped!
 
The case is awesome and it won't be long until we see an array of colors and styles.

This was my concern as well-- I am happy to report that it has not scratched any part of the phone! And it looks great (I have the white one)
 
Is the only difference color? It's hard for me to tell.

I just picked up a black one at my Apple store on Friday, I love it so far.
 
I've seen you ask this alot. Just go to their site and look.

I'd guess no at this point.

Because whenever I ask a question (or start a new help topic) I have to keep asking and bumping in order for people to notice.

I also asked cause right on their site:

Slider Case
Available for iPhone and iPod touch, the Slider Case offers internal rubber guardrails for optimum impact and scratch-resistance and external cutouts for all control features (headphone jack, hold switch, dock connector, camera lens, speaker and microphone openings). The case’s bottom portion slides away to accommodate charging in dock. Choose between the black or white high gloss finish, offering a unique UV coating for added scratch-resistance and longstanding luster.
SRP: $34.95

Yet I dont see it.
 
why would you want a matte btw? it would kinda conflict with the already glossy black

Think it helps out with grip, as some people have said it's not very grip friendly with glossy...

rubberized soft-touch coating provides added grip and contrast sophistication.
 
ahh!!!!! i just bought my slider 2 weeks ago and I love it... i kept saying the only thing that would make it better with be it it were flat black. grrrrrr

same here. i really do like the glossy black, but would have ordered the matte black if it had been available then... :(
 
Does anyone know when this will be available for purchase? Their website only shows the glossy versions available for order.

I was having the same problem yesterday. I finally got it to work and then they quoted me $9 to ship to CT, bringing the price to almost $45. That's a little steep for such a small/light product. They even throw in a $1 handling charge (WTF).

Ouch, I guess I'll wait until the apple store gets it.
