Case mate naked case update

[USMCSSGT]

I ordered a case-mate for my 1st Gen and got it today. I like it a lot. It doesn't add too much bulk, just enough to make me feel like it's better protected.

The only negative I've found is the inner screen touching the phone's face and sticking here and there. It doesn't look good. When the phone's on, you can't even tell though. I'm still researching on how to get rid of that problem.

can anyone post pics of the openings for the sleep/wake button and the ringer/vibrate/volume controls?

I'm really disappointed at how bad this case turned out. I ordered only July 11th and finally got it on Monday. I'm most likely going gto try and return it or see if they are at least aware of how poorly built this thing is. First the case separates at the top and has a fairly big gap between the case and the back of the phone. They need to make it lock on the top sides like they do the bottom. I've never really been bothered by the added bulk of cases but the bulk the naked case adds is insane. It's extremely difficult to access the on/off switch and it's awkward to adjust the volume buttons and mute switch. Can anyone recommend a good clear case (aside from Belkin's) that doesn't have anything the obscures the back of the phone? Belkin's has two hard plastic strips going down the back which not only looks bad but I'm sure after continued use would cause some major scratching. This is the worst $65 (Canadian, after shipping) I've ever spent.

aw man that blows. Sorry you hate it I guess i'll wait it out and see how i like it. I'm just using it on a first gen phone until i dump it for 3g sometimes in Nov, so i'm sure it will suite my needs.

my iskin revo rubber crap is just annoying pulling out of the pocket at the moment.

i have a copy (it's marketed under a few brand names) AND...

same issues but also, the "bubble" issue which is either moisture or air that gets between the phone and the case and gives you a small and annoying bubble. As you try to move the case (it's not lock solid on the phone as stated) you can get rid of it temporarily, but this case was marketed as more.

The Gear4 Ice Box pro is by far the best "clear" case on the market. It's not perfect, but it's the best you can get. There's a thread on it here on these boards, read some of the reviews. I strongly suggest you look into it. My only drawback with it is that the back of the case scratches easily

I am returning my naked case as it is huge, sliders are awkward at best to get to, everything is so recessed in. I am waiting for my return label to send back to them, got two gear 4 cases. These are smaller but the I am having problems with my sensors. I.e screen keeps dimming randomly. I am just going to get two hard cases.

Love it

I got mine in today and I freakin love it... it does make it a bit thicker though. I actually like it being a bit bigger, it feels better in my hand.

Although they did come out with some colored ones which look pretty sweet. I might have to order one of those also.
