Well I have gone through quite a few cases lately, But i have found the one that i am going to keep. The Iskin is the best case that I have tried and its the one that i will keep. The feel and looks and protection that it offers is in my opinion #1.
Here is a picture of the cases that I have tried, I bought the black incipo at the AT&T store for nineteen nighty nine when I purchased the iphone, It was ok but felt like it would slip off the phone, very thin silicon. The next one is the blue ivyskin XYLO It took almost four weeks to receive it,with no response from ivyskin after numerous inquiries about shipment Its ok too but the silicon feels a little to hard in my hand, and the home button is really hard to push in. and the screen protector that came with it does not fit the phone, it was to long! The next one is a crystal case that I got off of ebay for six dollars, It is similar to the ivyskin but not as good a quality. the material that it is made of is thinner than the ivyskin's, and the case is really hard to slide together, the touch screen works ok, It feels cheap and I would not want to put my iphone in it. The blue gel skin is another that I bought off of ebay. cellet jelly, six dollars. another cheap case, the silicon broke around the home button almost immediately,very thin silicon material, I used some scissors to cut it below the home button to be able to keep using it and to make it look a little better. the next one is the ivyskin clone,I saved twenty dollars by buying this one off of ebay was far better than the crystal case, thicker plastic, and feels solid, touch screen worked pretty good, but the case scratched the back of my phone when I removed the phone from the case and it also nicked the chrome bezel. I removed the screen protector from it and cut it down to use with the gel skin cases, worked pretty good, the top case is the iskin, this is the one I am keeping, It just feels right in my hand and the iphone looks pretty good in it, far superior to the other cases. I like the removable screen protector, I wish that I had bought this one first, would have saved me some money. I might buy me a red one next. just for a different look. All of the other ones are going into my desk drawer to collect dust..

Kristian - is there going to be any improvement made to the plastic cover fitting on the back of the revo?
Fuze2`
Kristian,
I have been patiently waiting for the release of the FUZE2, but my impatience is growing. Any tips on how much longer we are waiting for this one to come out? I may have to go elsewhere to get my case if it's too much longer.

about the grip
Kristian and everybody else here, I am planning to buy the black Revo2 but looking the photos recently posted I´ve been thinking about the grip.
It´s too sticky? Opinions.
The other option and way out of Revo2 is the Capsule Rebel. It´s a better product the Iskin? Why (over the Rebel)?
Thanks.

If you take into effect that the back of the iPhone now is curved you will appreciate the difficulty that we had coming to a decision on how to tackle this small hurdle - We know that it doesn't sit flush like the very different first gen. What we did to ensure a snug fit of the visor to the rear of the phone was to enhance the mounting "stubs" on either side.
this was the best possible solution
Maybe if any of you have any ideas on how we could have possibly done this differently - I would be glad to make note of everyones suggestions.
Thanks

I am sorry but i do not have any new news in which i can share with you on the upcoming release of the fuze2. We are doing our best to come up with the best possible case to really WOW everyone with it and this is not something that can be rushed.
Our team is working very hard at this to ensure that when you guys see this case youll just have to have it.

How does the pictures make it look "Sticky"?
im not sure if i know what you mean by that?
thanks

Ley me try to explain myself more properly
First of all please excuse my english. What I'm trying to say is if when you carry the phone in a pocket it's rather dificult to take it out to answer a call

In terms of the upcoming release of the fuze2 I'm guessing iskin is watching their revo2 sales. They may already have the fuze done for the iphone 3g, but do not want to take away from the revo2 sales. They will probably want to wait for the revo to become less popular before they release the fuze. That's just my opinion.

The Revo is absolutely perfect in terms of balancing grip versus having too much pocket friction or lint grabiness (I think I'm making up words). It's not like those early model silicone cases for ipods and such. I think it feels fantastic, actually. Very cool material they use. It's probably the only reason I was able to go silicone instead of a hard case.
oily...
does anyone else have the problem of the actual plastic of this case 'sweating'... like OIL coming out of the case???

Kristian,
I just found this on eBay...are they legit? Their prices are $20 cheaper than the iSkin website when you factor in shipping. And they have 99.4% positive reviews with 4542 reviews, which sounds pretty good to me! They are claiming that they are an iSkin certified reseller.

EBAY - and "Un" autherized resellers
Im glad you brought this up - as this is an ongoing concern/battle for iSkin. With any rather large organization you have to deal with the people out there who feel they can make a quick and easy dollar selling popular product. and Ebay does a very good job making it readily easy for anyone to do so.
To protect our brand we have strict policies in place for all our resellers who have to sell at MSRP. its an actual agreement that you have to sign with iSkin in order to even sell our product. We work with an organization that basically scrubs the net looking for these people/businesses and cross referencing them with our database then if they are found to be unauthorized they are contacted immediately to cease all sales.
So in this case sure nothing against the guy I'm sure he is doing a great job - servicing his clients on ebay. But at this time I cannot verify that he is an authorized reseller and that you will in fact get a genuine iSkin product that he is representing.
You have to be careful buying from E-Bay with anything brand name - I know I got taken for a Pair of shoes aswell...
I Hope this answers your question

They have these in the Tampa Bay store.
For $40, I wanted to hear a few more reviews.
I sure wish Amazon would sell them under their umbrella instead of the highway robbery shipping of the "featured merchants".
Well, they are probably gonna be high priced for quite some time. These babies are in high demand. I wish Best Buy sold them so I can use my coups 🙂

Bought mine off of eBay and it's easily the best case I've encountered so far. I had three iSkins in the past for my Nano, Video and 5G and have been happy with them all, so I waited for this skin in particular. My only qualm is the screen protector. I lose it constantly since it fits awkwardly on the back. Otherwise, I love it to pieces.
To those worried about the cost, I can say easily it's worth the sticker price. The only reason I didn't order off website was the shipping. 😱 If you're thorough, you can find, (like I did) a bit more than $10 off plus free shipping on eBay.
