Just wanted to share my opinion on the Glider case for anyone looking into getting a slider type case. Always been a fan of the Incase, but not being able to use a SP is a downside to me.

I ordered the black and white metallic Gliders for the price of one Incase as well :rolleyes:

The glider is a perfect, tight fitting case and adds minimal bulk to the phone. No problems with using a SP, as the Glider doesn't go over the top of the glass. Also, seems like it might work with a crystal back SP, but haven't tried that yet. It's lined with felt, so I don't think it's a concern. Perfect amount of "lay on the table" design as well.

Only downside, is the black is a finger print magnet, as you'll see from the pics. Hopefully the white will be less noticeable (will update this thread when I receive the case in a few days)

Best slider case IMO on the market...very sleek and not too flashy

I got the black and white plus a bonus 5 pack SP (3 front and 2 back) for $30 on Amazon.

Here are the pics

Excellent pics, they really show off the case.

How's the fit of the case, any room for debris to get in?
 
Have this case too but dont use it too often. Fingerprint MAGNET (obvious since its glossy black plastic) and I dont really like how the sleep/wake button is a tad recessed

fit is pretty tight. Back protectors wont work with this case from what i've heard.

Thanks man...seems like a really good tight fit. I'm one to take off the case once a week to clean, so not too worried.

It is a finger print magnet. BUT, it looks worse from the pics. I did that purposely so you can see. I'm hoping the white looks better, can't wait to get that in a few days

Will post those pics too :D

We have 2 of these, a blue one and the silver. I really like the case, but it's slippery. Feels like the phone is gonna go flyin at any minute.
 
Just a quick update with pics of the white metallic glider. Love this one more than the black because it doesn't show fingerprints like the black one does. Fit is snug with no creaky areas.

Here are the pics :D

Will this case work with the Lucky Labs Teksure back skin?

Def not. I actually took mine off to use this case. I've had there back skin for months and its nice to actually see the back glass again :D

Some have said a crystal back sp would work though. Prob a real tight fit though since its already a snug tight case
 
Unless these pics deceive me, it looks like this case doesn't have that much (if any) lay-on-the-table protection correct?
 
I love this case. Got mine last week. Love how slim it is, hardly any bulk added. Pics are great but still don't do it justice.

Also, I had an SGP back protector on, got the case on no problem by putting the bottom part on first. Took it on and off a few times too. But it's a damn tight fit. So I took the back protector off.

Dropped my phone the day after getting the case too, from about 6ft onto concrete. Case took the brunt, dent in the top but phone was perfect.

At £8 a pop at amazon uk, I'm a very happy camper. Ordered the blue and the poly black.
 
just wanted to bump my original thread for the people looking to purchase a slim but nicely protected case for the iPhone 4S

still use these cases and def my fav cases along with the trusty ol apple bumper

you can order from amazon or ebay...can get 2 for the price of one incase slider

also, had to problems added a matte back screen protector (case a little tight but fits with no problems)

Picked up this case for my 4s, while I like the look of the case I hate to report that it does not fit the 4s at all. I had to attempt to snap the phone into the case instead of sliding it and the bottom piece does not fit flush with the other part of the case. Will take pictures a little later

just put the white one on my gf's 4S....works fine ;)

doesn't slide as smooth as a incase slider but once you get in place, case is super snug

I bought this case for my 4s and I'm desperately trying to get it off. This fits horribly. The bottom piece doesn't match up and now the top part is stuck on my brand new phone and I have no clue how to get it off!:mad:

I was looking at the incase slider - which one do you like better?
