Uh, really? Mafia is what you got from that? They make parts used by many members of our military in the Middle East. A cheap mag can mean a misfeed when someone is under attack. That kind of potential damage from cheap parts or a lack of engineering is a lot bigger than "my phone got scratched". Therefore, their attitude toward production is likely much better than some random accessories company based in China. Seriously, mafia? Wtf...

Where'd he get mafia from....

Sorry I mistakenly read your post. I thought that if someone that didn't do his job correctly at Magpul would get hurt lol..

thanks for the case, Nick.

I love it !
I'm impressed with the fitment and feel/texture of the material ; regardless of the price!
It's one of my fav. now ...right next to my Element Vapor and Atomic cases :)

Is there any chance for more colors options ..white,red or yellow..?

Pick 1 up ata local distributor few days ago. I have a bit of fitment issue though. The bottom piece is sagging a little and there is some antenna showing on the side. Overall still excellent case for the price. I just wish it fits perfectly. Maybe it's just mine?

Edit: this case also only works with stock apple USB connectors

I'm in Vancouver and dave's surplus tactical sells it. Check the magpul website and see if your local dealer carries it. Some tactical/ army store sell magpul

Their website only lists the key-hole version. Did you get that one, or the newer edition (larger camera/flash hole) from them?

Mine fits perfectly as well, just that mine is the older keyhole version.

Received my Field Case from Magpul yesterday (thanks Nick!) and I have to say that I am extremely impressed with it! Yes, the buttons are a bit stiff and they don't give you much feedback and the camera cutout doesn't line up perfectly but you can really tell that it's a high quality case. The phone feels well-protected in the case even though it doesn't add much bulk at all and it really feels great in your hand. It also gives a little lay on the table design while not overlapping the screen at all and I haven't really seen that in any other case. I've only tried one set of headphones so far and those fit so I'm happy about that. The case is also compatible with my apple dock and my ihome. Haven't tried it with my composite cable yet though and that will be a real test since that cable did not work with my previous case (SGP Neo Matte Hybrid).

This case is at least as good if not better than any of the cases I've tried from any of the big case makers (Speck, Incase, SGP, etc.) and you just can't beat the price. Considering that this is certainly not Magpul's focus, I'm so impressed that they were able to come out with such a great case right out of the box. I hope they continue to make cases for future iphones because I can actually see myself using this case exclusively, especially if they fix the minor shortcomings I mentioned above. Great job Magpul!!! Thank you!!!

Favorite Case!

Ordered from eBay and indeed did get the newer version with the larger camera cutout. Just a heads up for anyone else who wants to order directly from the Magpul store.

Absolutely love the case! It fits beautifully and gives a good amount of protection.

OK, I give up. Really like the Magpul design, and they have a nice website, but
is there a way to order from Magpul or do they just sell to other dealers? I don't have an eBay account.

Did anyone who recevied a case(s) for the 3GS wish to part with them?

I'd love to have one in OD Green and Flat Earth.


Thanks,

Chris

Send NickMagpul an email via his account on here and request one. He will send you one for free, just give it 2-4 weeks...be patient.

With all do respect, I think $10 is nothing for this case compared to others. I mean come on, you can't expect to keep asking for free cases. You can get any color and version via eBay if you can't find a dealer.

It's worth it. I think Magpul went over and above when they sent out many members here cases and that was awesome. You snooze, you lose :)

I wasn't aware they were easily available via eBay. I was suggesting that bc he was complaining about not being able to find one.

Hey thanks guys. All I wanted was a recommendation for a dealer that is selling the current style other than ebay. Not looking for a freebie.

Doesn't hurt to ask. All he can say is "NO". :D
