Casemate Hula vs. similar Griffin, Scosche, etc. bumpers

[Meltdownblitz]

I have brand new hulas I'm about the post on eBay that I bought back when I had my AT&T iPhone 4 and I never used them. And now they don't fit my iPhone 4s. If anyone is interested let me know. I have quite a few colors.

Strange... the website still has it and says it is in stock...

Anyone has post-2010 versions of this or Griffin Reveal Frame or Scosche Edge and still has issues with stiff buttons and peeling rubber?

The Case-Mate Hula got discontinued.

I have the bandedge, and while I don't find the buttons stiff, but they are a pain to press. Also the plastic around the dock port cracked, the only thing holding it together is the rubber

Seems like that is a newer version. The original was dicontinued not long ago. The original was available in many colors, this one only in blalck. The color selection used to be the Hula's main selling point.

The new Griffin reveal does not cover the buttons. And the only reports of rubber peeling where from Hula users.

Is this the ebay knockoff you were referring to?

Where does it get dusty? The sticky rubber edges?

i originally wanted the hula but couldnt find it anywhere, even online so i just settled for the ebay knockoff. it does its job but dust definitely collects pretty easy

Thanks Charles, good to know that the Hula seems like a new redesign and hopefully they've resolved the buttons and peeling rubber.

Would be great if someone could confirm that because they own it.

As for the peeling rubber there were lots of complaints for the Scosche one too... for instance in this thread alone there were complaints in post #34, #23, #13 and #48. And again it's possible they've redesigned and improved since these old 2010 posts but that's why I'm hoping to get confirmation before ordering for myself and a few buddies.

So if anyone owning these redesigned ones can confirm, that would be awesome thanks!

Hey guys, I recently purchased the Griffin Reveal Frame in black and received it on Tuesday. After much researching, I finally found the bumper I like. I did purchase the black and clear cheap ones on eBay. Although thin, they are also fragile. The sleep button came off and it also left little black marks on my band. Then I found the Griffin. It's a good bumper that'll hopefully last me until the iP5. Here's the link and some pics:

close but its this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Black-C...209817?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f12509219

not sure if this happens with all silicone bumper cases or not but the rubber seems to collect dust easier around all the openings. it looks nice and has its protection though. im getting rid of it for the glide

Awesome thanks for all the feedback!

Sorry to jump in on the thread but is the Griffin Reveal any good?
Im looking for a clear, soft case for my wife's white 4s.

Cheers in advance

I'm currently using this case as well and I think it's pretty good. Its as close to minimalistic I will probably get.

Hello guys
10 days ago i bought the case-mate hula black case (CM012088) and this is how it looks after using it for 10 days. I only put it once I bought it and never played with it again

Considering that I live in Europe, what should I do now? Return it or what?

For sure! It should not fall apart like that. Return it where you got it.
