.....but I like cases
Me too. It's not just essential protection, they make the phone nicer to hold and add a bit of individuality in a world where everyone seems to either have an iPhone/S3/HTC1X.
I'm glad some people like to go case free, but leave us to enjoy using our devices they way that suits us
Yes I did. Looked good, fit nice. Only reason I got rid of it. The softer part of the case picked up dust/lint. Otterbox commuter doesn't attract that and when I had the NGP for 4s I NEVRR dealt w/ that
I'm stuck between the Dual Pro Shine and the Code, the Code looks very sturdy and protective, and has a weird design on the back, both cases should work with the SGP Glas.t, right? I know the Otterbox Commuter should, a rep from Otterbox emailed me regarding the fitting, so I think the Glas.t will work with Dual Pro or the Code as well.
For anyone waiting for a preordered feather from incipio, I just spoke with them on the phone and apparently there is some delay getting them from China, and they don't know what the delay is. Mine was supposed to be shipped on 9/21 and it still hasn't shipped. I canceled my order with them today and just ordered two iPhone 5 feathers, blue and purple(for the wife), from Amazon so hopefully those will ship out tomorrow.
That's what I have now. It's my favorite case when I had the iphone 4, and is still my favorite case, but the black case on white phone doesn't look good. I'm waiting to get a white silicone dualpro.
I also have the sgp glas.t on there. It's my favorite case/screen protector combo.
Please post some pics and a quick review regarding fit and installation. I'm considering this.
I just got the all black OVRMLD case. Quick review? It's fantastic. The material is super quality, the little ridges on the back are very subtle, and overall it's not too grippy, not too slippy. Real similar to any NGP cases they've previously made (used to have the NGP matte for my 4), but certainly a tougher material. It fits very nicely and looks even nicer.
My only downside? This case is a bit tough to get on, and very very tough to take off. It's a "lifetime" case in my book. I'm extremely content with everything about this case, as I very rarely take my iPhone out to clean it or anything else.
Thoroughly impressed. Will try to post some pictures shortly.

nice. I'm torn between this one and Speck's CandyShell Satin. Not sure which one looks less bulky. This one comes with a screen protector which is nice. Does it slip easily in and out of your pockets or is it sticky?
INCIPIO's NGP CASE IS BACK IN STOCK! I just ordered my obsidian black one today. Can't wait to get it, definitely saved my 4S from many drops and slides even from getting out of my lifted truck. ~$22 shipped (free ship option)
LOL, but thanks for confirming the installation. Mine just came today too. For fun, I went with the orange and gray. Love the feel. But I have still not got it on the phone. Any tips?
Since I like to change cases off and on, I REALLY am waiting for the Edge Pro version to be available.
No tips for adding and removing the case. Hope you have strong thumbs! I try to save the upper left (volume rocker) for last, but that's just because it seems to give most.
It slips in and out of the pocket easily. Comes with a screen protector and a little cleaning cloth, neither of which I bothered to keep.

Thank you for sharing. Just curious, any reason why you chose this over Faxion?
I'm torn between OVRMLD and Faxion. I'm leaning more toward OVRMLD because of the design (although both are very similar) but based on their description, Faxion sounds like it's made with a bit more flexible material.
awesome! thanks
the OVRMLD has a soft back while the Faxion has a glossy back. Glossy backs scratch easily and the damage is very visible.
Good question. And I have no idea why I chose the OVRMLD over the Faxion. Looking back, I see that it says "expansion joint for easy device removal" and that may have pushed me toward that model. No regrets in my choice though (as you've mentioned, they're both super similar). Good luck choosing!
