Belkin Shield Micra Case Pics

thanks OP for the pictures!

Thanks for some pics other than the ONE that is everywhere else. Does the lip cover the front enough to keep the screen from scratching when laid face down? It looks like it from the pics but can't tell for sure.

interested to know as well. can barely make it out, but the micra seems the side are flushed. one of my main concerns with this type/style of case. and like mentioned, nearly the same as the incase snap like we see here.

Thanks for the review and pictures! Just ordered from J&R. I was trying to decide between the Belkin and clear Incase Snap. They look almost identical, but the Belkin is $10 cheaper and J&R is offering free shipping. I should be getting it about the time my 4 comes :)
 
Thanks for the pics and review.
I've been waiting to see what this case is like before deciding on my free case (this vs incase snap)
Are you able to post some pics in bright light or bright/light background so we can see how the case looks better to compare with the incase snap
(like in this thread... https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/989561/

Also does the case have a lip to prevent scratches on the front when face down?
Thanks a bunch :p
 
Since they seem to be out in the wild now... I just checked the status of my free Belkin shield micra and it went from "not yet shipped" to "prepared for shipping". Wasn't supposed to ship until aug 27 so maybe they're gonna get them out early now.
 
Does the case peel of the screen cover? Did I understand right that I can put a cover on the back also. Does the case fit probably if I have on the both sides an invisibleshield?

It won't interfere with a screen protector on the front at all. I'm still waiting for my back protectors to come so I can't comment on that, the OP did say his works fine. I ended up buying the black just to see what it's like, it's a nice looking case on and off overall.

Pro's-

-Tight, very accurate fit. no creaking, very sturdy.
-perfect "lip", doesn't stick out, looks almost flush with the black on black.

Con's-

-Watermarking is pretty noticeable even with the black case.

When did you place the order? I'll be curious to see how long the wait will be between order dates. I ordered mine the first day it was available to order in Canada (July 30th). While the watermarking has turned be off the case a bit, hopefully the back protectors elevates this a bit.
 
Changed my free case from micra to incase snap thinking it would speed up delivery time. Instead, it's still expected in early sept. So, I went ahead and ordered a mirca from newegg.com for $23 total. At some point, I can compare the two.
 
I ordered this case the first day of free case program and it was shipped today. Order had said it would ship by 8-27-10.

So disappointed this one is hard and not flexible. I saw on a few websites that it was flexible and decided to go with it over the In Case for that reason...I'm afraid of scratches with hard plastic, plus it doesn't seem like hard plastic would be very protective in a drop. Mine's still listed as shipping on the 27th.
 
anyone know if this case is compatible with the lucky lab spectra wraps? I'm thinking about getting this as my free case from apple

It's exactly the same case.
I got my incase in the mail yesterday.

Does the belkin one come with a stand?

Don't think so. I don't see the use of a stand anyway personally...

the major difference with the incase clear should be the top/bottom 'hole' coverage. If you don't have a dockingstation then IMO the belkin offers a better overal protection. While the incase will allow dust and dirt easier inside.
 
Got my mirca from newegg today and it's going back. Doesn't fit with my sgp ultra clear back. After hearing about how easy the back gets scratched, no way I am going to without a back protector. Also, I had lots of watermarks. Since Incase snap is suppose to be similar, I am afraid it's going to be a repeat. In the meantime, back to Scosche Bandedge.
 
Just got my notice that my free Belkin shield micra from Apple has shipped. It's about 10 days earlier than original date. It's coming through DHL out of Chicago.
 
So glad I went with the incase one, it's exactly the same but it doesnt have a big belkin sign slapped across the back, plus it comes with a stand which I think it really good:)

the only thing I am disapointed with is the lack of grip, whereas the bumper feels really nice and 'grippy', and the case gets dirty very easily... I will probably end up switching back to my bumper soon.

Mine arrived today and it's two days early. I have a wrapsol installed and found the Belkin too tight to go over it. I could have forced it but I was afraid the hard plastic would crack.
 
I got the Micra as my free case. Don't like it much. Cheap and slippery. I usually like Belkin's stuff.
