I love the Solo FX Case

Leafs said:
Hi I'm interested in the Duet. Ferris23 when you bought it from dannyar was there a special thread for this or something? Can you post a link or how to contact him? If not feelthefire you said you could get it in? You can count me in for one if you do get them. I live in Canada so hopefully that isn't a problem.
Also I am obviously new to this forum, is there are way to PM people or do you need a certain amount of posts or something?
Thanks

To be honest I forgot how I found Dannyar selling that clear case, but it was on another forum even though he is a member here as well.

Here is the forum I found him on, I think I was doing a google for a clear Solo or something.

I know Ebay has them as do some e-tailers, just not sure if they ship to Canada. The guy working on it for you seems like the best bet, I'm sure the mods won't mind what he posted, they shouldn't anyway.

They do, and you have to buy it with the revo clip, but it's the same price as the standard one. I am thinking about ordering some into the store, they sell for $29.99.



Canada is fine. You do need a minimum number of posts to send a PM, but I can PM you. If at least 5 people want them I will order them and they will be here next week.


The solo is not TECHNICALLY perfectly clear. It has kind of a muted woven pattern to it, and I have cases that are identical in materials to the iSkin solo available in my store if you don't mind the texture. The reason I don't have the solo already is because I like the cases I do have in the same material better, and I find their price point to be better, and no need to buy the clip!

Mods, I'm not trying to advertise, just offer members a way to get this particular combination which is apparently rare. Let me know if that's not OK.

I was looking at your store, which ones are you talking about that are like the solo? Also I'm pretty sure I would be really happy with the Duet so yeah count me in for ordering some. Come on 4 more people! Also how much is shipping to Canada?

Also thanks Ferris23 for the link!

Shipping to CAN is $5 I'm pretty sure. I'd have to check my postal system.

The handwoven, hex, diamond are all the same material. The diamond is very very similar to the clear iSkin solo. I can take pictures of one on a white phone tonight.

Oh ok cool thanks. Will you PM me the pics or post them here or something?

Also if I still want the Duet and you don't get enough people who want it, I was looking on eBay and they seem to be to be selling it for around the same price you are (if not a bit cheaper by a couple of bucks haha). So I should technically be fine. But I would probably rather buy it from someone I have actually had a conversation with about the product I am buying :)

I can post the pictures on here tonight. Here is one picture in the meantime showing the material and inner texture:

And yes, they do have a lip that covers the full bezel, unlike the other cases of similar material that I sourced when I was building the store.
 
anyone know if there is a plane clear iskin solo (ie without those circular or diamond designs)? I would like to see my white iphone ... in a plane clear skin, it might look quite elegant

The Iskin is the closest thing I have seen to clear, while it does have a design it is far less noticeable than the diamond pattern on the off brand clear.

Not to mention a totally clear rubber case would leave nasty water marks

You could try shades cases, they make a clear, but they also watermark badly..

For the record, the clear diamond case shown isn't an "off brand", the case is by More. and the material it is made of is patented and the design is trademarked.

And yes, the issue with truly clear polymer cases is watermarking.
 
some on this forum posted a youtube video of the clear diamon shaped iskin that came with the duet... where does one buy that... i dont see the clear one on the iskin website

It can only be purchased as part of the "duet" case package with the revo. I am potentially placing an order for these so if you'd like one, they sell for $29.99 and will be able to be purchased through my online store.
 
sorry I tried looking it up but couldn't find anything. What is watermarking and does anyone have a pic of it?

Read back a bit. Iskin doesn't make the combo anymore, it is sold with a clip called the Iskin Solo Duet. It can be found on Ebay or some e-tailers have it.

Damn I'm just stepping all over your toes this morning, first I call you a dude then I knock your product.

lol Just kidding, sorry for the mis-type. I generally associate any lesser known name brand as an off brand, I guess maybe I should try it before I make that association. It just seems like these More cases are like a glorified generic case to me that copy cases alreday released. I'm honestly not trying to be rude, it just seems like that from what I have seen. Most likely I am wrong, maybe I should buy one and see. :)

Maybe so :)

There will always be similar cases on ebay. But just like the dealsniper sportiva and the switcheasy rebel, they look the same but really aren't.

But I wouldn't sell anything, and certainly not at the prices I do, if I didn't think it was quality :) Not trying to be antagonistic, but I constantly do battle with "but the ebay case looks the same!"
 
Solo FX now in Apple Stores! Well, at least the one that's close to me (in Canada).

I just picked up a red one....I was originally going to get a Speck Candyshell but noticed that they had the Solo FX too. Apparently, they just came in (they're not listed on the website yet).

The only color available was red, but that's fine with me because it's the one that I wanted. :D
 
Apart from Apple stores, they are also available in Rogers Plus stores at a slightly cheaper price. At the Rogers Plus Store in downtown Montreal they had the Red, Green and Orange Solo FX at a price of $29.95 if I recall correctly.

Yea, I checked the one out in downtown Vancouver...they only had red for the normal Solo (non-FX) at the same price.

They had green in the FX version, but it was at the same price as Apple was selling the red one....$35.

I probably could have gotten one off of ebay for less, but then I'd have to wait at least 2 weeks for it to pass customs (I ordered a Switcheasy Colors case on June 23rd and it still isn't here :mad:)
 
can you post a pic from the top (not at an angle), and possibly the other side (glass side) too, thanks
 
Here is the top:

and the front:

The front is very hard to get pictures of so pardon the quality of that last one.
 
I had a look at the clear case that comes with the revo clip and i dont think i like the woven/diamond pattern that it has.

I do believe its possible to get a clear looking case as long as it has the lightly frosted coating on the inside. As it is the solo does not create watermarks, and that has not texture to it at all.

The diamond pattern makes the phone look fatter or 3d from the back that turns me off.

Where did you see it, I didn't notice from the videos that it made the phone look bigger, the pattern looked rather subtle actually. Guess I will know soon.

The one above is a bit much, it looks a little too bubbly, someone needs to make a clear one with no patterns.
