if this fits with the sgp glas.t (which i doubt it will). i will definitely pick one of these up.
 
I play paintball too and hate to leave my phone in my bag. Was def thinking of using my iPhone 5 w/lifeproof case and putting it in my pocket while on the speedball field. Good to hear that its already been proven.

Yes, you should be good to go to use it in paintball. Just make sure you face the screen towards your body in your pocket. The case takes shots to the back, top and sides very well, but I'm not sure about a direct hit on the screen.
 
even if they advertise as being waterproof, i would never go swimming with it. i think if i work near water, then i would purchase just in case i dropped it in water, but i wouldn't purposely dunk it in water... i guess im timid :D
 
I got my email from them today, too. And not a moment too soon. About ready to give up waiting. I'm glad it's coming out, I'm sure it'll be fantastic, but next release, they need to get it out faster.

I have gone swimming in my pool and at the beach with my 4S, never any problems. Got some cool under water shots. This thing is made to go under water :)
 
I wonder what colors they will offer at first. This would be a perfect case for my girlfriend.

I assume black and maybe a girly color. I would like to see the military colors (olive drab, tan etc) at initial release but doubt it.

I would rather wait so they can get it right. Too many cases have been rushed to market; just look at all the experienced cases manufacturers that have not even been able to get a basic TPU case right.

Anyway, it's apples secrecy that caused delays more than anything. I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, that apple used to release specs to many third party companies in advance, but they don't do this any more.

I really like the look of this case, but with the possibility of having a $99 pricetag, I'm going to wait for reviews and hands-on pictures.
 
Post #5 in this thread thinks so, and by looking at the prices of their other cases, I would have to say it's a good possibility.

10-4. Didn't see that post. Would be nice if it stayed at current price, but we'll just have to wait and see.

An almost two months delay is too long. Of course I want them to get it right, but this is a big company and they should have their process in order. They've built the case before, only the specs have changed. A couple of tweaks to a computer model and this should have been manufacturing.

My guess is that something went wrong, either with design or manufacturing.

And I don't believe Apples secrecy is a factor here. At least 30 other companies have their product to market and everyone came out of the gate together. I don't mind waiting for this case. I just feel the wait was too long.

$79 would be nice. I really enjoy the look of it, and I hope it feels as smooth in hand as it looks. I had the Otterbox Commuter and it felt horrible in hand and it would hurt my face while talking. I was very disappointed with it since I enjoyed the Commuter on my 3GS and 4S. I have since boycotted Otterbox.
