The SPG cases are crap. Just saying. I received mine in the mail today, and although it looks great in the picture, they are flimsy pieces of plastic with a polycarb back.

I got the SGP Clear case. Black.

Needless to say, i sent the return request to Amazon to get my money back; the case I received had loose fitting on the left side so it felt like it would just come off.

It is really, really shoddy work. Worth 5 bucks at most.

And reading this back, it looks like I'm just an ignorant buyer who has unreasonable expectations or a troll, but the case really isn't worth over 5 dollars.

Highly suggesting to everybody to read reviews online and look at videos; The pictures won me over. Sadly, they aren't worth squat.

That's how I felt too. I'm using mine until my graft concepts' case arrives. I bought the SGP Crystal linear and it's garbage. Feels cheap, offers no protection at all, and it easily slides off your hands/lap/whatever it's on. There's no way I'm keeping this for $30.

----------

that is sad because it is only available on US amazon, not canada

where did you get it?
would it be a knock off?

Got it from their Amazon store, so it's not a knockoff.
 
i agree they are not worth what they charge. they are essentially a bumper but not as tight. i bought mine for 8 dollars so its not so bad. my main complaint is that most earphones wont fit with the case on.

I agree, I got the silver and white combo on ebay for $8.
For the price I paid I think it's great, but I'd be disappointed if I paid $30 for it.
 
So any more updates on any quality cases? I might just bite the bullet and get an Incase Feather but I'm not completely sure.

I want quality, but i don't want to spend 100+ bucks.

the casecrown ones are pretty good quality for the price. they are a lot cheaper on amazon vs their webstore.

do you incipio feather?
 
i dunno if i should get the casecrown gilder or clip carbonate. both looks very nice. any idea?
 
the glider is more of a glossy white and offers more protection but its a bit bulkier.

the polycarbonate is more of the soft touch/matte material. it gets dirtier easier but offers a thinner profile and less drop protection.

so i guess it depends on which material you prefer. both cases are pretty solid.
 
Not mine but these look good.

I think I'm gonna go with the atomic hybrid case. Still deciding on a color.

those cases are really nice and i wanted to purchase their new colored snap ones. however, the website is all in korean and the snap ones aren't even on the website...so confusing!
 
So far I am liking the Speck Candshell in White with the pink trim. This is the latest model with the huge camera cutout and no flaking of the rubber. I bought this at the AT&T store when I purchased my 4S with the intent to get a less bulky clear case once I did some further research.

I just received the Switcheasy Vulcan which is a slim profile and transparent. I really thought I would like it but the rim on the front comes over just enough to bubble up the screen protector. Although this isn't a big deal to most, it drives me crazy so I probably will let someone else in my family have it. It worked fine with the flash and was nice to hold in the hand but I like the Speck Candyshell better even with it being more bulky. The Candyshell rubber comes up the sides and gives a rim so the phone has protection from laying flat but the rim doesn't affect the screen protector at all.

I'm waiting on the Switcheasy Nude. Should receive it soon as I actually placed the order for that one before the Vulcan. I know the Nude doesn't have the rim protection for the front but with the screen protector I'm not worried about it. It shouldn't bother the protector and should be barely there. I'll report back once I receive it.
 
I really like that casecrown case but the only defect about the white seems to be that the flash from the camera reflects off it when taking pictures. Still, they look nice but I don't know if a black case would look good on my white phone. I might go gunmetal on it, what do you guys think?
 
i think for a white case you have to get a lighter color. gunmetal woul match well with a black iPhone 4s but not that well with a white one.
 
I got my Vapor Comp today.

Sorry for the bad pics, taken with an iPhone 4.

One of the things which really used to annoy me on the iPhone 4 was the scratching of the metal antenna; anyone got any solutions? I've been using BestSkinzEver with some success under the bumper but it gets worn off eventually.

Anyone know if a skin would fit under the switcheasy Vulcan? Quite like the look of that case!

Skin would definitely under the Vulcan. I just. Sent it back. Seemed to go on the phone snug but the sides had some flex and creaking which I really didn't like.

Thanks bud I might give one a go then, see if I can get on with it. Will bear your comments in mind...

I have the SGP white white silver hybrid on my iphone at the moment. I agree the quality of the materials are not top notch. And unfortunately I don't think it is going to stay on my phone either. Just kinda ****** all around :(

From the distance however it does look like a naked iPhone. SOOOOOO you can balance that if you still like it.
 
I wound up being disappointed in my SGP as well. For now I'm going naked with a pouch because I give up.

Yea. It's worth maybe 10 bucks at the most. What upsets me and I'd assume other the most as well, is the fact that it's 30 bucks but the site actually makes the product look like it has some quality. Not on the level of Vaporware or a element cases, but at least worth the money.

Then you get it and it's crappy plastic that isn't even tight.

Yea; I'm using an Incipio Feather case I got off of eBay for 10 bucks and it's good enough for me. A pouch was ideal as well but I only drop the phone when I use it, which is when it wouldn't be in the pouch, so I just said forget it.

I totally recommend the MOSHI iGLAZE Pearl White colour case... it fits like a glove, has NO bulk at all, the sides are made to match the colour of the antenna exactly, and the case is a nice pearl white colour matched to the white iPhone! It has to be one of the more minimalist and nicest looking cases I have ever seen! This case is designed to exactly mimic the looks of the phone...

How long have you had it? I read one review that said the color over the antenna started to wear off after about a month. I was disappointed because I wanted to try it. I still will if others have had it long enough to say that one reviewer's issue was a fluke.

I have had it for a few months... I had it on my iPhone 4 before I got the 4s then just switched it to this phone. It still looks new as the day I got it! It feels and looks very well made! The pearl white colour one is perfect for the white iPhone! I think that the reviewer may have just got a bad one... like with everything theres bound to be one lemon in the bunch (when you are manufacturing millions).

I like it so much in fact, that I ordered the matching iGlaze pearl white for my white iPad2 (don't have it yet though)
