I love the Solo FX Case

great

Hi, i really love the Solo FX case my self, got my first iphone yesteday(3GS release in Norway) it sits great on the phone🙂

Cheers
 
I've had this case for about a week now. I'm finding it really hard to press the sleep awake button and the volume rocker. Does anyone else have this problem?
 
A few pics of the Solo FX on a white phone...it's pretty hard to see any of the circle design at all unless it's right on top of the Apple logo, but oh well.

For those of you who ordered the knock off one from ebay (s0ngling) how long did it take for shipping?

I ordered mine last friday and figured it would be here by now.

Took 2 weeks for mine
 
Just got a green Solo FX today, and so far I'm likin' it. Fits really tight, and coming from a Griffin Reveal, the top bezel section being snug is a nice plus. Don't think it'll replace the Reveal, but definitely good to have more than one case that I like just in case I want to switch it up. I really want the orange version, so I think I'll get that sometime soon.

I would take pictures, but seeing as my iPhone is my only camera, it might be a toughy. 😀

Anyone have staining problems with the white?

Nope, not so far. I have switched mine out a couple of times with my CandyShell just for variety's sake, though. But I just checked the back of my iPhone and it looks just like it did the day I bought it. 🙂

I'm using a black switcheasy rebel right now, thought I'd like to get the white to be able to change up the color. Staining would be the only thing that would make it so I didn't want the white.
 
I just ordered a whole pile of various ebay cases so I can post some reviews and decide if maybe I want to start selling some stuff on ebay. Will post some when I get them!

You're talking about two completely different case designs, levels of protection, etc. They aren't comparable at all.

Also, FYI, if you got the matte black air jacket it will start peeling.

Ooops, sorry--I totally misread your post. I thought you were asking if the colored Solo or Solo FX cases were staining white phones. 😱 I only have the red Solo FX, so I can't vouch for the white. Sorry!
 
Anyone here needs a 4-day old red Solo Fx? Mine's been sitting here collecting dust, might give this thread a shot first before going to other options. Just PM away 😉
 
I got the red one for my mom's iPhone. She loves it xD
I got the Incase frame case in green myself. It looks great with the white iPhone
 
<-- selling a blue and orange knockoff @ $6/each with free overnight shipping pm me if your interested. i used them lightly for a week then decided to get the air jacket by power support
 
I finally figured out why I was getting bezel scratching with the knockoffs but not the iSkin. The thin strip on the iSkin Solo FX at the dock connector only touches the top part of the bezel it isn't making contact with the curved part, while the knockoffs are. So once dust or dirt or lint gets under the curved part of the knockoffs it scratches the bezel because the thin strip moves a bit. Because the iSkin doesn't touch this part it's not rubbing into the bezel. Not sure if this was an intentional design decision but it does make a difference.
 
So let me get this straight - can owners of either the real Solo or knockoffs post whether your case adequately covers the chrome bezel? The reason I use my giant thick black Belkin silicone case is because I want that part covered. I can't really tell from the pictures, they seem to in some and not in others. I'm pretty picky about it, but all the cAses that cover it well a fat and not great-looking. The screen I can cover with a clear protector, but Solo cases look like they might fit the bill.

I ordered a smoke clear one with the checekr pattern from Well-Well on eBay. Hope it gets here soon!
 
Not that I want to call my cases iskin solo knockoffs, because they really arent--

mine are a similar material, and they DO cover the bezel, as shown here. I will try to get a closeup.

Yes it covers the chrome bezel (using a real iSkin Solo FX)
