Capsule Rebel from SwitchEasy just announced.

So i ordered a capsule rebel on thursday and this is the status on both stamps and usps.com

Arrival at Unit, September 15, 2008, 8:20 am, RANSOMVILLE, NY 14131
Bullet Processed, September 13, 2008, 7:47 pm, ROCHESTER, NY 14606
Bullet Processed, September 12, 2008, 7:33 pm, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94188
Bullet Electronic Shipping Info Received, September 12, 2008

Which means it arrived at my house.. but the thing is.. it's not at my house.. so either the status is wrong or they went to the wrong adress... which is definately disheartening..
 
Well my black Rebel starting sagging after a day of use. This case is really nice but that bottom piece, even when it doesn't sag, is too loose for my liking.

For that reason I am going back to my black neo for good! They need a Rebel Rev. 2 now dammit.
 
So, I got the case, and it's nice, but the bottom is already starting to sag a little bit.. which is pretty dissapointing. I'll email them tonight and we shall see what happens.

You probably can either request a Neo, which due to design is a better case, or you will get another Rebel, and if you get black, it will most likely be saggy.

Here is what Zolton wrote me today when I asked him about this problem, this could be already posted:

The fault is with the material. We have one mold for all color. Only
the black case suffers from it . We are adding less and less silica to
the compound so there is no way of knowing if we fix it or just
delayed the sagging deffect.

Sorry

Just an FYI, I now have both a black Rebel and artic Rebel. Neither of them have the sag issue. I really love these cases. I have tried severak cases out including the incase slider black and white, the contour flick, griffen nuform etc. I like this the best. I will post some pictures later as I did a combo I have yet to see anyone else do. I used the Artic rubber and the black spine. Looks cool IMO. You can see the apple logo still through the case as the black spine is see through just like the artic case is. It is kinda the reverse of the "Skeleton" combo, only see through. :D

same thing just happened to me says it was delivered but its definetly not there. What ended up happening with yours? I hope its just a typo and it will be here tomorrow
 
I ordered the white version on monday and got it today in south florida. Some people have been saying they have been shipping these out really slow. But just figured I would let you guys know my order came really quick.
 
I had the rebel but sent it back because of the sag... perhaps rev2 will fix it. Got the slider, scratches the chrome where the points meet.

Got the NEO White... awesome. Best case out there. You may get a dirty condom, but you get two, so hopefully the other is clean.

So far its holding up well, and I have no fear of the iPhone getting damaged by the H and I frames. The condom stays firmly in place to give it that protection.

Just have to clean it out once a month for maintenance since its all tight dirt doesn't get in there.

what a shi tty case.
once the screen cover gets all scratched up are you gonna vouch for it still?
i'd rather put on an invisible shield or bodyguardz front instead of buy that thing.

Agreed. Don't go trolling around in a thread about the best case for an iPhone w/ a POS case like this! I've got a Capsule Rebel and will buy another when this one wears out. I'll tell everyone to stay away from the ole' xyloT3 (y I troll)
 
Spines will be sold separately soon, just got an email from switcheasy yesterday stating this. I've noticed a few of you guys are wondering about the shipping issues....Switch easy is out of Hong Kong, both emails I got were signed so and so Switcheasy, Hong Kong, China. I know carlos, aka itsmemorphious on youtube, was shipped one of each rebel from Hong Kong directly so I assume everyone who orders gets them from hong kong. Anyone have the white back with the red spine?? Carlos is supposed to shoot a vid of different color combos but I dont thing he's gotten around to it yet.

Cool, I hope they start selling the condoms separately soon also. My first one has a stain. Good thing my second one was pretty clean.

Arrival at unit just means it arrived at the post office where it'll then go out to you.

No, I had to remove my skin before installing my (Devil) case. Won't ever need a skin again anyway :)

carlos(itsmemorphious) used an invisibleshield and said that it fit more snug which could infact have prevented his rebel from sagging at the bottom.

i'm going to put an invisibleshield on and then the rebel, because i don't want any dust getting in and scratching the phone. plus they're only $5 =)

My bodyguardz works fine with my arctic rebel.. I'm sure it will be the same with my devil on the way.
