I've been following this thread for a while, the case looks amazing and I think it's very promising that they have relatively good customer service.

I too ordered the Arctic from their site on Monday and they refunded me on Paypal citing the customs issue. I waited till the clock struck midnight and ordered it again on "Thursday." When I work up I got the order confirmation/electronic shipping info, sent at 6am.

The tracking hasn't updated but I'm hoping to see some stuff soon.

Keep you guys posted when I get it, and I have a White 3g iphone so I'll post some preview pics of a white iphone in the arctic case.

I ordered mine on Monday as well. I live less than 10 miles away from their headquarters and I still haven't gotten mine yet.:mad:

dang, I should have probably done that. I didn't order mine until around 8am today, so I guess maybe it didn't ship out yet... I haven't even so much as gotten a confirmation email from them- just the PayPal email letting me know a transaction had been made when I placed the order. Hopefully I'll get it early next week
 
I got mine today, White and seems ok. I ordred from mygearstore.com
I did NOT put on the screen protector. As any one used it? How does it compare to Power Support Crystal Film?

Thanks

Is the bottom portion loose and sags? Or just not a tight fit?
 
I just got mine today, ordered it 3 days ago.
Black version.

The bottom is loose and sags :mad:
Also it doesn't seem to fit right with my Bodyguardz and Power Support screen protector, without these things it would be a perfectly snug fit though. Someone else said his fit fine, well mine doesn't. It doesn't look like the pics on iLounge, I can tell that my iphone is just half a milimeter too thick, and with the tightness of this plastic thing that really matters. The plastic is not going over the rubber part on mine, no matter how hard i push and pull on this case i can't get it to fit my phone right b/c I have bodyguardz on.

other than that it's a great case though, excellent protection and very stylish

The material is nice, not sticky like silicone but still protects it by being soft like silicone. not dust attracting.

The plastic part is a scratch magnet, i had mine on for literally an hour today and it's all scratched up!!
 
Anyone have this and Contour flick to compare? Because I currently have Contour flick, but I placed an order for the SwitchEasy.

Going to return Contour, hold onto it, or give it to father... Not sure

I've ordered both the Flick and the Switcheasy, and got the dispatch notice today - will have some comparison pics online next week when they arrive.

Is this available anywhere on the web for Irish customers?

AppleProStore delivers to the UK, so shouldn't be a problem delivering the the Republic I guess? If they do, like others, they are definitely recommended...
 
Mine shipped from appleprostore last night (well it left the post office facility, stupid USPS tracking).
 
You got a tracking number? I never got one, just a "transaction id" and "order number", neither of which are valid for USPS tracking.

I was sent a USPS tracking number, you may want to email them if you haven't gotten it?
 
Yup I have done, seeing as it's been 7 days since it was actually marked as shipped I thought it's about time I started hassling some folk over there.
 
got an email just after 2am today saying it had shipped (read:the label had been made) with a usps tracking number for my arctic case. Can someone tell me where these things are shipping from so I'll have somewhat of an idea of how long it'll take to get here? USPS tracking sucks and gives you barely any info

Edit: ordered directly from switcheasy

AppleProStore got bac to me pretty sharpish (about 4 hours), here it is:

Hey peter,

We shipped it to below address:

******
******
******
******
******
United Kingdom

normally delivery time frame is 3-7 days. I think it should get there very soon within 1-3 days. Unfortunately there is no tracking# for packages to go oversea. We used the USPS first class international mail service. Your patience is needed on this matter.

Thanks,


APS-Team
 
Just wanted to add that I too ordered the Arctic case late Monday night as soon as it was posted on Switcheasys site and the next morning got an email stating that it had been "shipped" but no updates have come up since then and I still don't have mine. Then again USPS is CLASSIC for never updating the package progress until it actually arrives. Hopefully it comes tomorrow so I can put up some pics since nobody seems to have gotten one yet.
 
"CapsuleRebel Artic has 2 injection points on the mid section of the case, the 2 injection points are not avoidable due to the nature of the manufacturing process. Consider these new product shots as an accurate representation of the product you will receive...."

umm....im not a big fan of arctic anymore. it's a shame too. i wish it was more clear and showed the black more. :(
 
Nice job catching the update. To be honest though in the pictures they don't really bother me. I can't wait to see what it looks like in person but the injection points look just fine. Only time will tell.
 
yeah, i agree about online pictures not being the end of all ends. i'm gonna wait until a guinea pig posts his/her pics. :D

Funny how the black one looks less like there's a case there than the clear option.
 
Anyone get their replacements yet? Mine was "posted" and I got a tracking number from usps but its been in "The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on July 30, 2008 to expect your package for mailing." status so not sure if they mailed it or not or just that the USPS sucks.
 
I just ordered 4 cases from AppleProStore.

I had a lot of problems with paypal and trying to pay with a credit card because my mom forgot her password and stuff and it wouldn't let us pay with just a credit card or something. So we are just going to mail a check. It says the cases do not come in until the 8th so there is no rush.

We ordered 4 iPhones yesterday fro AT&T but they said it takes 10-21 days to get to us.
 
I just picked my case up from my mailbox and installed it. The screen protectors didn't look like they fit/aligned with the screen so I'll probably pick up something like Power Support soon, either the Anti Glare or Crystal. I haven't decided yet. Any opinions on those two?

EDIT: I bought the Artic one. The bottom fits fine. Hope the rest of you enjoy. It seems pretty good so far.
