iSkin Revo for 3G Available

Not to nit-pick Kristian.. okay, well maybe... but on the 'order' page for the Ozone, it says "Clear Forsted/Black" -- I assume that should be 'frosted'?

Anyway, any idea on where to get this in the UK or do you ship directly?

Nevermind....couldn't wait. Just HAD to order one. So, er... when does it arrive then?
 
Yah I am curious as to when these will start shipping and when/if they will be available in the apple store. I am ready to pull the trigger but am having a hard time convincing myself it is okay to pay $60 for the case, the clip, and shipping. What is the return policy if I end up not liking the case?

Right now I am stuck between getting this or the SwitchEasy CapsuleRebel.
 
I've been using iSkin cases since the iPod Photo, and haven't been disappointed yet. Ordered me a revo2 as soon as I saw they were available.

Kristian,

my biggest gripe with the original Revo was the port covers: I lost the docking cover pretty quickly, and after a while the headphone cover started tearing off because it was so exposed when headphones were in. Has iSkin done anything to help remedy this? I noticed that the dock cover is now attached to the case, but I'm afraid after daily usage it'll tear off pretty quickly. If it does, is it covered under the warranty?

Also, with the new headphone jack, its possible to use right-angle headphone plugs with the iPhone. However, it looks like the headphone port cover on the new Revo would get in the way of using right-angle plugs (or at least stretched/stressed to the point of tearing off). Any comments?

Finally, is the silicone material the same as the original Revo? Same texture, thickness, etc?

Thanks!

P.S. Any chance existing Revo owners could get a discount on getting a Revo2? :D $40 + $10 shipping is pretty steep for a case...thats 1/4 of the price of the phone itself!

Ok bear with me on this one let me rip your questions and ill respond to each one.

1) Has iSkin done anything to help remedy this? Port Cover - Yes we heard your guys calls on the port cover issue - as for your concern with it tearing - i cant foresee this happening. but if it does and its not caused by you really trying to rip the thing off and just from daily use - of course iSkin would do what we could to remedy that for you!

2) "Also, with the new headphone jack, its possible to use right-angle headphone plugs with the iPhone. However, it looks like the headphone port cover on the new revo would get in the way of using right-angle plugs (or at least stretched/stressed to the point of tearing off). Any comments?"

I don't foresee this being an issue either - i use the iSkin X1's though and dont own a set of headphones like that. But with the fear of it ripping - again as long as your not trying to rip it off it shouldn't.

So this goes for everyone - if you are having issues with your cases tearing - please contact me and send me pictures of whats happening and i can see what i can do to remedy that!

Funny you say that in your PS - im playing with an idea now for a Special Promo for the people who move from a competing product to an iSkin.

But maybe this is a good opportunity to ask - If iSkin was to run a contest or a promotion - what would be the ideal one be for you guys/gals?

Hello Kristian. I'm still confused regarding the iPhone 3G Dock/Revo2 compatibility. The link you provided above clearly states, "Dock Extender works flawlessly with iPhone, but does not fully fit into the docking station supplied with the iPhone." To me this seems to refer to the original iPhone, as the Dock was supplied in the original packaging. Has this compatibility changed with the slimmer, re-designed iPhone 3G Dock (sold seperately)? Does the Dock Extender fully fit into the new iPhone 3G Dock? I really want a Revo2 and an iPhone 3G Dock, but to spend $30 on a Dock Extender that is not compatible with the iPhone 3G Dock seems really silly, don't you agree? Please advise. Thanks in advance!! :)

Ok guys - to confirm i took my 3g to the apple store over the weekend and tried to see fi i could fit it into one of the docking station stereos they have there with no luck. Let me look further into this and get back to you in the morning just so that we are all on the same page.

Thanks

Kristian, is it possible to get the case from iSkin themselves. I see that you guys are on Sheppard Avenue. I would love o save $8 on shipping and get it faster too.

Ummmmm

That is a question i have not been asked - never even thought about a local pick up for all you guys in our back yard...

let me see if this is something we can accommodate or not.

Thanks. :)

Kristian, I'm really impressed with your customer service. Thank you for spending the time to answer our questions.

It's great to hear about the quality of the product. The 3G is my first iPhone but I've used your guys cases on previous iPods and was very impressed. It's nice to hear that they're even better now.

I'm kind of concerned about not being able to use a 3G dock. I spent $30 on getting a dock just because I thought I'd still be able to use it with this product. I'm interested in seeing where this goes.

I'd totally be interested in partaking in a contest. I'm switching from the Griffin Nu Form myself and I'm really excited to get the case. As to what the contest would entail, I really have no ideas for what we could do.

Thanks again.
 
This is some amazing customer service, kristian. Your help here on the forums just gave your company another sale! i have never witnessed such outstanding customer service. keep up the GREAT work!



-btw, i ordered the Ozone revo2 to go with my white iphone. Ive always purchased the clear cases from iskin (Artic Evo/evo2/evo3) for my ipods. white hardware and a clear silicone case is the way to go, trust me, its very sexy. I will post pictures of the case on the phone the second i receive it!
 
I have also ordered one of these from iskin and still have no conformation email. Not sure why. Has anyone had it shipped yet from the web site?
 
Thanks, Kristian for all the posts/responses. Your prior responsiveness was what pushed me toward your product, as it did others.

I'm not so concerned about a confirmation email because I see that my order status is active on the website. But some reassurance as to when these will start shipping would be good. If you don't know, you don't know, and we can plan accordingly, but if the quoted 3-5 business days is just a hunch, we should know that as well. It's day 2 for my iphone and I'm wandering around with the shipping plastic still on! :eek:

I don't know about contests, but a discount for MacRumors forum members would sure be nice (though I guess I've already ordered)! I definitely feel like I paid a decent premium to buy this case versus competing models. But the raves of gen 1 owners, and your responsiveness, sold me.
 
I am waiting to order when they actually start shipping. I have a iphone dock that I bought for my 3G, I assume this is useless now?

Wow, a CS Rep that joins a forum to help out. Now that's service!

I have the Revo for my old iPhone and it's awesome!

I also use the keyboard cover for my MacBook. I had the clear one that didn't look too good on the black, but then they came out with one with the black keys actually printed on it and it's really spiffy! :D

Great products, you have a loyal customer.

As someone who has multiple iSkin products already (I've got Claro cases on my two full-size iPods and I had a Revo on my first iPhone), I'd like to see some limited edition Revo2 cases for long-time customers. Neon/dayglo orange or green cases would be really sweet.
 
more color options?

I'm very interested myself. I need the most protection against shock,dirt,dust and moisture do to my job and working environent. Any chance of more colors coming out soon? My girlfriend is dead set on a light pink one for her white 3G and I will most likely go with the black, but I don't know if I can justify $100 on two cases. Any deals on shipping for two?
 
i had the revo 1 case for my old iphone and i can say it was the best case out. after putting it on i never removed it again and never had any problems, dropped my phone a few times and it always stayed safe in the case.

+ great customer service! keep it up!
