Incase Slider Case

You just to have align the screen protector as perfect as possible. I had to use both of mine in the Power Support pack and then had to redo the second one...and got dust and some lint under it, nothing major, but enough to annoy me from time to time. Might get some more soon and re do it. Will they do it for me at the Apple store?
Sounds like a bra
you people are crazy with putting cases on your iphones go naked or as you would say bra less
Steamy
For people who struggle with dust when applying screen protectors: if you clean the screen and apply it in a steamy room (bathroom with shower running) it reduces the amount of dust in the air. There's nothing worse than cleaning the screen and having dust or fuzz land on it while you've got two hands on the protector. So moist air = less dust = better application!

i heard the slider causes scratches on the back of the iphone.. i use the regular incase protector case.. i love it but after 6 months of use, the top of the case rips.
Here's The Solution
I had this same exact problem and what I did to solve it was to put on the screen protector on while the iPhone was in the case. I probably went through three before figuring this little trick out.
A little tip though, the Incase Slider will scratch the crap out of the chrome bezel on your iPhone. If you're okay with that, then keep it.

Well I have had my Slider case for over a week now and I am liking it so far. I get many complements for this case as it looks very sleek and stylish. It's not an attention grabber (if you get it in black at least) but it feels awesome in your hands (I have the touch version with the rubbery/velvety surface).
I already have a couple of tiny chips of the surface that reveal a hard shiny surface under it. Not sure how they got there as the case has taken some knocks and slides without any marks whatsoever.
Anyways, I decided to go without a screen protector at the moment but I just might in the future.
my black IPhone really looks good with the black case, very professional looking. I think I will post pictures when i get home tonight for everyone to see.

If you get around to posting pictures, can you post some of the case by a naked phone? I want to see how much bulk this case adds. I have a Griffin Reveal and while it is a really nice case, I just feel it may not be be enough protection.
I must apologize as the pictures are going to have to wait a couple of days. Major renovations are happening in my house and everything is in boxes. So I couldn't find my camera ofcourse
.From my experience, I would say that the slider case adds less bulk than the average case. I have never had any trouble keeping my iphone in my pocket with it on. It has never gotten in the way of me getting anything done.
My case feels very much part of the Iphone. Feels like the Iphone was build with this surface. Very solid and perfect size. Makes the iphone much easier to handle in your hands. A day doesn't go buy where I don't get compliments for it.
I will get some pictures up as soon as I find my camera
I've heard that to avoid the case scratching your phone, you PINCH the sides of the iPhone while you bring it out instead of pushing against the phone. I really want this case so badly, but I actually returned it after 2 months of usage because it scratched my 3G (which I still managed to sell for $300!) and I didn't want it doing anything to my 3GS. I already ordered a Green/Black iFrogz Luxe case, but I might be still willing to buy a Slider if they redesign it so it doesn't scratch the phone.
do i have to post pictures to show everyone that my sliders has NEVER scratched the back casing or scuffed up the bezel?
what do you people do with your phone and cases?
i'm sure i'm not picking out the one slider that just fits and doesn't damage the phone
sounds like a user problem to me

Quite a common problem actually, even the Apple store employees that I met had it. I already bought the Luxe, but I don't know when I'll use the gift card refund that I got from BestBuy, I must just buy the Slider again unless I really like the Luxe when it arrives in a week. Honestly no one is going to care about what case I have (unless it has a design like the Luxe) and it's only my preference, I rarely drop the phone so honestly any case will do, but I guess the one place where the Incase has me beat is when I take off the case to charge it and clean it, but again this is where the danger of scratching it comes into play if you aren't careful and slow when taking it out.
if you have an apple store close, go in and try the slider again. like you, i never drop my phone but the incase gives the best protection with the minimalist bulk.
i always use my girls phone w/ slider as the perfect tester. she drop her phone daily and yes the white slider is beat up, scuffed up, hairlined cracked, but the device is scratch free and still MINT. I'm shocked actually.
probably why i believe in there case and have never had problems myself
So the Apple Store's sliders work better than Bestbuys? 2 different models? I mean I'm assuming these same Apple Store employees got their cases from the store they're working in, so it's risky either way. The closest Apple Store is almost 2 hours away, I had to drive there to get my 3GS, won't do it again for the case, but thanks for your suggestions, I really want the Slider badly, honestly, but I need a credible source, like Incase or Cnet, saying that they've actually fixed that specific problem until I buy it.
ughhh 2 hours away? man i feel fortunate to have at least 5 apple stores in a 5 mile radius.
here's the thing...take a look at that other thread where the guy posted those flickr pics of his case. take a look at the right side of the camera hole. see how those lines are raised a little? (meaning flash). not the rubber rails. the raised lines will cause scratches because your sliding in and out.
so basically you have to open a box and look for flash
i checked my sliders and the inside surface is smooth like butter and why i havent had any problem with this case
i really think this guy nailed it with his observation
