I'm a long time lurker and decided to join b/c of this thread.

I ordered this case the day I saw this thread.

Well, I just got mine today (it came on Saturday) and it fits perfectly. None of the loose bottom problems.

My only gripe is, I like the arctic over the white that I bought, so I guess I'll have to buy another one :D

Could you please post a pic of the bottom of your case on the phone?
 
FYI - I got an email back from SwitchEasy regarding the replacement of my Capsule Rebel Black.

I originally contacted them through their "Contact Us" link from their webpage. In their email response to me they state that they will be mailing me a replacement and an envelope to ship the defective one back in.

ditto for me. hopefully i will get one that fits properly.

crossing my fingers.
 
Thanks for the heads up that SwitchEasy finally posted the other colors on their website. I was hesitant to order from the 3rd party site because I didn't know how they would handle a return if I too in fact got one of the defective ones. I just placed an order for the Arctic and I'll have my fingers crossed from now until I receive it since this will be the 4th case I've tried. I'll post pics when I get it for you guys.
 
Just received my black case, have to say I really like it.
US to UK in 3 days.
I have the Invisible Shield on the back and the glaze resis shield on the front.
The bottom section is slightly floppy but not an issue for me as it's not silicone floppy, more rigid IMO.
With the IS on the back it provides a really snug fit so don't think damage will be a prob.

Highly recommended IMO.
 
Anyone have pics of the Clear/Arctic one?
I can't decide between this and the black!

Are all of the black ones defective so far? but not the clear ones?

thanks,
I want to order this today
 
How come I can't see the other colors? Every time I click on the image on the front page that says "CapsuleRebel not in eleven color combos" I just get brought to the press release page. Anyone else having this problem? I'm trying to purchase the arctic one.

Just received mine. I luckily got on of the good cases. The bottom is SLIGHTLY more loose than the rest of the case, but has no problem covering the chrome without my intervention. My problem is that the plastic piece on the back is already scratched to hell after a few minutes. Anyone else with the black case experiencing this? Here's a couple pics to show how well the case fits, as well as the scratches.

I just received mine in the mail - dropped it on my friends iPhone as I won't be picking mine up until tonight. I purchased the white one, and the bottom doesn't seem loose - I think it's better than a silicon. I'll take pictures tonight when I get my phone.
 
Deleted History...cleared cookies...deleted temporary internet files and still can't see the other colors on both IE and Firefox. Can someone post the direct link for me?

Thanks!
 
Update: I got another email from SwitchEasy (great service by the way) that they just got in a new capsule rebel black shipment (updated version) that they are now shipping to me to replace my defective one.
 
I wish you could get a different color hard shell to change out ... I'd kill for a darker blue, or perhaps the red one.
 
Here's for everyone that's been asking and wondering. :rolleyes:
Here's my case.

The loose bottom is easily seen in these pictures.
Enjoy haha. :D

By the way, i've already sent SwitchEasy an email, and im just waiting on a reply. :D
 
Can anyone comment on how easy/hard it is to get the phone in/out of the case? I use my iPhone to workout, so am putting it in a armband case when I do that. I'm looking for a case that will provide easy in/out access. I'm concerned this isn't one of those cases, but it looks really cool.
 
sorry guys, I'll take a pic of the case when I get home. I don't have a camera on me right now.

mine definitely doesn't look like the cases posted though. it could be a problem with just the black ones...

Mine is white and has the same problem albeit not as bad as the one above but still its loose and not as snug as the upper spot.
