Incase Slider for 3G update....

My sincere apologies to anyone who went to Best Buy based on what I said. I thought I saw the Incase Slider this weekend there but it was in fact just the Incase protective silicone. I was just at the mall and stopped by BB to double check, sure enough I was wrong.

I feel like an idiot and hope nobody went because of my post, if you did, I really am very sorry.

Also if you are interested in my case email me at Ferris23@gmail.com
 
I hope I don't step on any toes here, but I'm getting to my wit's end with this whole thing. Does anybody know if InCase is going to release a glossy black version of the Slider 3G? I've attempted to contact them twice. First time went without so much as an automated notification that my message was received. I'd get the white, but I'm not sure how it would look with my black iPhone. Thanks in advance.

it doesn't matter what color case you get, the only place that the actual phone will bleed through is around the ports/volume switch.
 
I have the Griffin Wave case, do you think the Silder is that much better? I like the Wave because it's slim and still adds more protection when laying the phone flat (screen side). But the slider is nice and sleek. The only thing I would be cautious about is if some dirt would get on the inside of the slider and you slide the phone which can cause scracthes. Anyone have tried both the slider and wave? If so which do you prefer?

Any slider case will have this negative effect -- that is just the nature of the beast. What people need to remember is that the case will protect against major drops, something that you would not get if you didn't have one. We will just have to live with the dust/case issue -- after all, the phone is in our lint covered pockets most of the time. What should we expect?

I have the incase slider and I eventually got sick of it and removed it. It didnt scratch my phone at all.

Glossy white case looks amazing even on a black iPhone.

Yeah the more I think about it, the more I want to pick one up. And now that there's an Apple Store in my city, I don't have to wait for shipping :D Besides, nothing's stopping me from picking up a glossy black if/when it comes out. I used to always get the faceplates for my old Nokia candybar phones because I liked the customizability (and being able to switch the look when I felt like it). Thanks all for the input.
 
the online apple store now has the incase slider in gun metal and magenta in stock. i think i'm gonna go with the glossy white too.

Now I have a reason to get the gunmetal. I will just tell the girlfriend they have magenta and she will be all over it. :D

I'm a big fan of Incase's products. I used their leather sleeve for my first generation iPhone as soon as I got it on the 29th, and upgraded to the slider when it was announced. I've got a white slider for my iPhone 3G, but am most likely going to purchase a gunmetal variety slider now that they've been announced. From the looks of it, there doesn't seem to be a glossy black model in the pipeline. :mad:
 
don't know- those were the only new colors in the apple store, and incase doesn't even have them on their website. I hope so though!

My best buy had the white slider.
 
Just picked up the white Slider at my local Apple Store and it's pretty darn sexy. The black bleeding through the holes doesn't look bad at all, and it looks like a brand new phone now. Still probably going for the glossy black if it comes out, but anybody hesitating on the white because of their black iPhone really shouldn't worry at all.

I wonder why the Canada online store doesn't have the gun metal and magenta ones. Kinda sucks but at least it shows that more colours are (hopefully) coming.
 
Got a white slider on my black 3G...looks awesome. Would have never thought to go there, but saw three of the folks working in the apple store with that combo and thought it looked great.
