I went to 4 different Walmarts before I found a Frequency. The electronics areas are a mess with everything scattered all around. Don't even bother asking someone in Walmart for help.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah, so it sounds like I got a bad one. It was so loose I returned it on the spot. I was pretty disappointed. I decided to order a Diztronic from Amazon instead. Half the price and has great reviews.
Agree. I had a DualPro as well. Not only did the rubber get dirty on the outside, but when I took the case off after a couple of days, the loose rubber inner shell had let tons of dirt and grit get under the case. I now have a Frequency, which is much better. It's not a dirt magnet, and when I take the case off, there's no dirt underneath.
Yes! Finally got my Incipio Frequency!

I like how the bottom is cut so the sound doesn't get muffled.

You're not bothered by the fact that those two little rubber pieces cover up the 2 of the speaker holes and 2 of the microphone holes? They're mis-aligned, and are supposed to cover the screws. I removed my Incipio Dualpro after realizing this.
It doesn't bother me too much because the sound isn't muffled. I've used cases where the speaker holes are covered with plastic with a couple of holes for the speaker and the sound is muffled and weird.
Could it be the they did it deliberately so that more lightning accessories would fit the port?
Just realize that the call quality that others hear when you call them could be affected.
It doesn't look like it was done on purpose. They made these before the phone was released and just didn't realize where the screws would line up.
It doesn't effect anything if you ever use voice recorder I mean voice is picked up clearly even whispering. As for the Speaker did you know it is in fact at times even louder when things are obstructing it, the sound has a ricochet effect.
Edit: besides there is a tiny gap and no the case doesn't sag or anything it's all rock hard and doesn't move, to top it off I've got a BSE underneath so all is nice and tight

Only difference is Matt Finish VS Glossy Finish, and a different design on back otherwise same materials exactly.
I asked Incipio.
Just got my charcoal grey Incipio Feather. I effing love this thing. I had it on my 4 and 4S and this is by far the best snap-like case out there.
Perfect case!
Perfect case!
Just received the Kicksnap case and back to the store it will go.
Why they made the cutout for the kickstand go all the way through the case is beyond me. Especially since its a bimaterial case.
I would have preferred that only the outer layer be cut.
As it is now, opening the kickstand exposes the back of the phone.
Bad, bad design that will only lead to trapped dirt and dust and eventual scratches to the phone.

I have the black feather I have not seen any scuffs from taking the case off or putting it on. But I will say that the fit of the case isn't perfect. The top left corner is loose, and I have recently noticed after having it for over a week now that at times when I pick the phone up I can here the case snap back into place like it was loose at different parts. The edges are pretty sharp too.
Clear cases usually look like vinyl slipcovers on grandma's couch.
Never understood the appeal.
This one's not so bad.
Gjwilly - I will never look at a clear case the same way again!
Thanks for the visual.
Anyone have the black feather shine? If so, thoughts? Was looking to get this as my snap case choice. Also, has anyone seen this case locally in stores?
I have not seen it locally, I got one in with a shipment of stuff for my lil online store I started. PM me if you want it, I ended up using the Feather Gray...
Hard Shell, its the same as the feather case, except with transparent smoke sides and a aluminum looking back.
Look EXACTLY, besides the branding, like the one best buys sells. Here's several pictures from my previous post:

Wifi Problems
I've had mine for quite a while on my iPhone 5 and it most certainly has wifi reception issues. I even took it to the Apple Store for a professional opinion. I'm not entirely sure why it is blocking data, because the coating is supposed to be radio transparent, but there is a definite problem. Incipio also will not respond to my emails. Very disappointed in their product and customer service. Another good brand has been ruined in my eyes.
