For those who owned a Solo for the 3GS, did it stick to your pockets when trying to remove? Or is the material really smooth? $15 is a steal!
Got a tip for us?

The SOLO is smooth but still has a good grip... didn't stick to pockets. The REVO is much more rubbery -- collects lint and sticks though.
I didn't own the Solo for the 3GS, but I know some people who did and have had/seen other TPU cases like the Solo. The TPU material is smooth on the outside, not tacky like silicone, so it slides in and out of pockets easily.
$15 isn't really a steal considering you can get TPU cases on eBay for like $1 shipped (same stuff as the the Solo)
I'm sure those $1 cases fit perfectly, don't stretch when removed multiple times and come with a lifetime warranty too
I always like that cover (visor) but they always cracked on me after about a week of taking it off and putting it on.

For 1/15 of the price I'll take my chances lol
Haha I usually have them overnighted which costs as much as the case.
I *nearly* went for the quick option but since my case won't be shipped out until tomorrow at the earliest it seemed silly to go the faster route. Being that they are in Ontario and I am in Montreal I should still get it by early next week.
Yes, I always hated how iSkin waits a day before they ship even on overnight orders.
Well I seized the opportunity for the $15 case in clear. I almost opted out when I saw that shipping was $7, but that's still less than the normal retail price when combined. It looks like a great case, so I'm excited

Their cases are always top notch, I've used them on every iPhone I've had. The Solo is a great deal at $15, normally they were always $30+.
I've used them for iPods in the past, but never on my iPhone. But $15 for this case is much cheaper than some of the others I have bought, like Incase for example.
on my previous 3gs, i had bought the revo from the apple store. then returned it the next day.
even though provided some 'decent' protection, it wasn't for me. it has tacky feel to it and as the ultimate lint magnet. plus the removable plastic screen shield was useless to me.

They ship there for $20... They will eventually be elsewhere like Amazon, etc but right now it's just their shop.
How do you guys deal with the massive amounts of dust cases seem to collect? I used to have a bumper on my phone but took it off after having to wipe off a bunch of dust every time I took it out of my pocket. And the dust gets caught in the case.. seems like a big headache.
Yeah i've just seen that its a bit of a pain,, are there any like alternative just as good and similar design i could find ? such as Griffin or Incase?
I've never had a real problem with dust using the Solo, if there is any you can just blow it off, just as you can with the iPhone screen. The Revo on the other hand is more tacky and its total pain to get it off in my experience, at least it was with the first Revo.
Sorry, but this looks exactly the same as one I bought 2 weeks ago:

Yeah I know, "but it doesn't come with a 'lifetime warranty.'"
BTW, that case from HHI is fantastic for the price. With a coupon it is free.

I had the solo in my cart, and was immediately disappointed in the $7 shipping charge. They lost my sale, because of this. That's ridiculous that they are charging that much in shipping for a case.
Sorry iSkin, I love your cases...but there's no way I'm paying those crazy shipping charges.

It's not tha crazy. They ship from Canada and with a code you pay $22 shipped for the Solo.
