I cannot get my incase slider OFF of my iPhone!!

Warning: Do not Buy Incase Slider Phones for 3g iPhone

Warning. Do not buy this case. It gets stuck on your iPhone. It took one hour, two people, a letter opener and pencil eraser to get the two parts off. Thanks to this site for those suggestions on this site or it would still be on. Check the online message boards and you'll see this has long been a problem. It doesn't even deserve a one star rating. I ordered a purple metallic slider case directly from Incase one week ago, have dumped this in the garbage, cancelled the credit card charge, and will never buy anything from them again. Griffin makes an attractive and functional slider case and I will continue to use theirs.

My case was completely stuck and after applying this remedy...it slid right off

1. take bottom of case off
2. place the ball of your thumb on backside of iphone, on the bottom part (the part exposed after step 1)
3. place 4 fingers on front side of iphone
4. apply pressure to both sides of phone, your thumb up against the iphone and your fingers down against the iphone.
5. applying pressure will ensure a good grib on the iphone, move fingers from top of phone to bottom in a sliding motion. your other hand should be gripping top of case and pulling opposite direction of other hand
6. repeat

hopefully this works...i'm thinking about applying a light layer of wd 40 before i put the iphone back in the case....or maybe some olive oil if i want to get freaky with it. I'd use my ky jelly, but im fresh out.

Last night was a long night

I found it impossible to get off until I learned the secret. Thumbs on the front of the phone with the rest of your fingers on the back. With the phone bottom facing away from you push away from your body with your thumbs and it slides right out after three or four pushes ... unless your case is too small I suppose.

Duct tape works wonders

Like others, I could not remove an incase slider case from my daughters itouch which would not fit in the radio she just got while the case was on. Read all the forums and did not like any of the solutions too much, hot, cold, WD40, etc.

However, they did give me an idea which worked in seconds once applied - and maybe it will work for others.

Was able to remove the bottom section of the case - which exposed about 0.75 inches of the case. But could not get a grip from there and tried all sorts of grips - jar grips, mitts, gloves, etc.

So my solution involves 3M electrical tape and duct tape - the solution to all problems

First I applied the 3M 33 electrical tape to the face of the itouch and wrapped it to the back, but not getting it ont he case. This took 3 pieces of tape to cover the entire face of the itouch. Did not want the duct tape adhesive sticking to the face of the itouch.

Next I used a piece of duct tape and applied it on top of the electrical tape on the ENTIRE FACE of the itouch - but at the bottom - I left about 4 or 5 inches to extend PAST the bottom of the itouch and then folder it back on itself so it landed on the back of the exposed bottom of the case. Now I had a handle

Now I simply grabbed the back of the incase with my finger nails and pulled on the duct tape in the opposite direction - and the case slid off like it was greased !!!

Hope this helps someone else.

This is one of the reasons i never wanted a slider style case. Many times you have to apply force to pull it out, while dirt and grime sliding around with the phone that could potentially scratch it.
