[patd]

Whats up with this Ivyskin??

I like this case for the 3G Iphone so i have been trying to order one on-line and cannot get past the confirmation screen, I have tried it numerous times and have given up. I tried calling them today and tried a total of seven times and cannot get either the sales department, i even tried support to answer their phone, Is it a Fed. Holiday today?? are they still in business?

Their phone line is a dead line. Goes straight to voicemail NO MATTER what line you call, what time of day, etc. You're only shot at contact with them is e-mail... Good luck brah.

Sounds like WAY too much work to order a product in such a saturated market. Especially when this is the same product as two other brands!

I sent them a email and it came back as MAILER-DAEMON Returned, So their email does not work either. As much as I like this case, It has become to much of a headache for me, I don't need it that bad. I found this one on Ebay last night and went ahead and bought it, It looks pretty much the same, and has the same specs.

This case looks cool... I'm curious about fingerprints though. Is it a fingerprint magnet like the iphone itself, or does it hide/resist fingerprints well?

I received my case today that I ordered on Ebay. At first I was a little disappointed with the front screen, It had some small scratches and was not crystal clear, had tiny air bubbles in the black part of the screen protector, there was no instructions in or on the box, So after sitting and looking at it I decided that it must be a thin protective shipping film over the face, so I used my fingernail and started scratching the edge and presto it started to peel back, I got a hold of it and peeled it off, Now I am happy with the way it looks, Crystal clear, The case works just fine. I paid $29.00 for it so I save $10.00 by not buying the Ivyskin

iPhone 3G XyloT3 Reflect Case

I must admit I am a fool. Even though it will be forever to get a Naked Case and the iPhone 3G XyloT3, I went ahead and ordered the iPhone 3G XyloT3 Reflect Case. For all the time and headaches involved, I should of just purchased a Vaja Case.

I seriously doubt the Ivyskin actually has a phone system at this time. It is next to impossible to reach no matter what time of the day it is.

I just received the case yesterday buy I can tell you it shows the finger prints and smudges just the same as if you were using a shield, or the screen if you don't have any protection at all. I am not so concerned about cleaning the screen now as it is very solid and I don't think there is the possibility of damaging the touch screen if you are pressing to hard unlike with the thin shield. Also with the shield I could not remove the air bubbles no matter how much I tried, so it is nice looking at a clear screen. All in all I am happy with the looks and functionality of the case, all of the access ports are readily available for the ear phones, connectors. It only took three days to receive the case once I bid on it.

I have read that the naked case and xylot2 have air bubbles when you touch the screen, how is this one? Also, do you think it will work/fit with an invisible shield?

Once I removed the shipping protection film from the face of the case, It was crystal clear, The phone fits inside nice and snug, no rattles at all, When I use the touch screen there are no bubbles or anything what so ever, just like touching the phones screen. I don't think that you would want to put another protective shield over the case or inside on the phones touch screen. The case seems just fine, I am not sure what help this case would be if you dropped it. It might take the hit and shatter and leave the phone undamaged, But I suspect if it hit on any corner the phone might get damaged also, (sorry I am not going to test it) but I could be wrong. I tried to put the silicon rubber skin that I bought with the phone over the case but it didn't fit. If I can find one that fits I might use it over the case, It might make it a little more bulky, but it might save me some grief if I ever drop the phone.

Thanks! I found a leather horizontal case at walmart that said "fits iphone". It was too big for just the phone, but with the clear case it should be perfect.

The only reason I wanted to keep the IS (other than the $15 I paid) is dust getting in the case and scratching the screen.

I ordered my XyloT3 case last Saturday and got a shipping confirmation today via USPS!

I will post some pics and review when I get it. I already got a similar case Gear4 Icebox but I wanna try out other clear cases and hope to find one that I like and keep permanently. Besides if I like the Xylo than the Icebox, I can just give my Icebox to my wife for her 3G Iphone

Has anybody got their XyloT3 yet? Could you post some pics and review? Was it anything like my Icebox? Please see link below for pics and review of my Icebox. Thanks.

I got my XyloT3 case today from ivyskin and it looks and works great.

The biggest downside I see is that with the case on, it doesn't fit in the iphone 3g dock that apple sells.

Looking forward to some pics and a review. Also, what was your order number? I placed my order on the Sunday following the launch and it only shipped out last week. My order number is 3119 and nothing yet. My friend also ordered his way before me by about 50 order numbers and he hasn't received his yet either.

Best regards,

Is fingerprint a big issue with this case? Or does it hide figerprints well?

Hey edtorious!

Looking forward to seeing your comparison between the Xylto T3 and the Gear4 Ice Box! Please post pics when you get it! As you know my two biggest concerns with the Gear4 Ice Box is (a) the fingerprints on the touch screen and (b) the scratches on the back. Please let me know if you think the Xylo T3 is "better."

Same here! I'm still waiting for my Xylo T3 to arrive but am considering placing an order the the Ice Box if it's better in comparison.

C'mon people, please post them pictures and reviews!

any coupons?

Hi all

I'm considering getting the XyloT3..It looks like what I've been looking for and will decide as soon as someone here is kind enough to post a feedback and some pics..I still don't have the iPhone 3G coz its not even on sale where I live (but its launching any day this month)...I know I won't find any decent case for it when it debuts here so will be asking an uncle from USA who's visiting me next month to bring it for me(saves shipping costs)..I'm wondering if anyone has any discount code or coupon that I could use? It does pinch to pick this up coz of the conversion rate..

Also I really wanted something like gelaskin / decal just on the back..so do you think it'll still fit with the XyloT3?

Thanks

Just received my case, first impressions - mixed.
Looks good, fits perfectly, but...
..it isn't anywhere near as responsive as I thought the phone would be with the case on.
It does require more pressure and multitouch seems much less usable

 

[ichii]

justbrowsing did you have a screen protector underneath the case? I just ordered the reflect one and was wondering how bad is the touch interface with the case.

 

[justbrowsing]

No. No screen protector underneath
The case itself fits very well adds little weight or bulk, just trying to see if I can live with the reduced sensitivity. (Should say that after just half a day's use it seems easier)

somebody mentioned here that there was a shipping protection film on the case, I don't know if it was outside the case or inside? Did you see it and removed it? I'm thinking that is causing the reduced response of the touch screen...

I can't wait to get mine....

 

[ssaito0527]

I STILL haven't received mines yet. I'm seriously considering either selling it locally in Hawaii or returning it, in comparison to the reviews Gear4 Ice Box Pro, it doesn't seem as "touch" responsive.

I ordered mine on July 14th and my order number was about 200 orders after yours

Here's some photos of my xylo. The touch through seems to work fine for me.

There was a very thin plastic film on the outside of the front cover. They had a big notice in the shipping box that said to remember to remove it. I removed it and it seems to be working OK.

Been using it for a few days now, my only gripes are that it doesn't fit on the iphone dock. It does fit on my Sony Alarm Clock Radio dock (ICFC1iPMK2). Without the case, I never got any device errors. With the case, because the connections are probably not as flush, I intermittently get the "this device was not made for iphone errors" with the dock, but they can be easily dismissed and it works fine.

Overall, I feel MUCH better having this case on. The fact that it's a clear case keeps my white iphone looking good and the fact that it's a hardshell case that can cover the screen as well makes me feel better with my fumbly hands

The pictures of the just the case were taken with my iphone while waiting in the doctor's office today:

The pictures of the phone in the case were taken with my Canon DSLR I had one more photo of the top side of the case, but looks like I can only do 5 attachments per post.
