My Caze ThinEdge review w/ HQ pics

[ShionoyaTamaki]

someone should video tape a drop test with the caze thinedge on to see how high before it breaks the iphone

 

[Jarrahammer]

Im interested to see this on a white iPhone with either a silver or white bumper...

 

[ShionoyaTamaki]

I'm using SGP front/back crystal protectors and no problems at all

My front is also slightly to the right and still works perfect...you gotta really be off centered in order to get this case to bubble up

Was about about to buy a clear thinEdge but saw this reviewer where his screen protector bubbled up after putting it on.

the iphonecaze.jp website gave a note that is not on the English site:
付属のフィルム以外を使用される場合、製品によってはフィルムが浮いてしまう場合がありますのでご注意ください。

which translates to
"If you are using a non-accompanying film, please note that some products might cause the film to float."

map1978, where'd you purchase the matte black with the black tab? On the iphonecaze website it appears that regardless of color (white frame excepted), the two supplied fasteners are red and white. Even the ones off ebay don't seem to be paired with matching colored fasteners. I'm extremely interested in this bumper, but I'd prefer a solid color all around.

Btw, can anyone confirm if these are OEM? Perhaps it suggests so in the description somewhere and I may have missed it.

They're advertised as being composed of the same TR90 material, but the price seems way too good.

I posted the link to where I got them off eBay on the first page. I know the site says what you wrote, but my black matte came with black tab and the silver case came with silver.

Maybe mine are non oem, but they are simply awesome and are a super snug fit. Too good not to be oem IMO

Just got the Caze case in white. Exactly what I wanted. Thanks to the OP for starting this thread, would have never of learned about this bumper without it. Post pictures and more details later...

 

[yourmother]

OK so white looks amazingly good. I bought a grey case as well as a white case so I can get a white clasp. They included this nasty lime green and red with the white case but I prefer to be monotone.

Not super thin, I would say about as thick as the Apple bumper but not rubber so does not stick in your pocket. I love the way it feels in your hand.

Also there was a youtube video showing that the case doesn't play well with screen protectors, which is absolutely right. The Caze comes with screen protectors but they are terrible. Its a smaller size so they don't interfere with the bumper but they are cut very poorly.

The pics aren't great. I took them with my old 3gs, I have a point and shoot but plugging my camera into my computer and booting up lightroom is a pain. If people really want me to I can.

 

[yourmother]

Oh and with the clasp color bleeding, I wouldn't know since I immediately switched it to white however my red was already chipping. So I am certainly glad I got the extra case and stuck the white one on.

 

[Cynikal.Mindset]

I ordered 2 of these black and white so I can have the clip colours that I wanted per each case 35bux shipped for 2 cases is a pretty good deal in my books, hopefully they are of decent quality.

 

[djransom]

Here's the link to Amazon, this one is silver with a silver tab and it's $9.99 free shipping with Prime!!

Thanks for the link. I just ordered that case and a case for my wife as well. I also signed up for Prime and it will be delivered by Saturday now. Good deal all the way around.

YourMother: Can you please keep us updated whether the case will change colors due to your jean pockets or not? That case looks great! I wanted to get a white one but was scared it was going to change colors so I ordered the clear one instead.

Great pics. Definitely looking forward to receiving mine.

Post some pix of the clear case. I want to see how it looks retaining the beauty of the iphone4 caseless.

I noticed your pictures has a screen protector on. Is that the one supplied by Caze or your own? I didn't see any bubbling on yours.

so to confirm, from your link in the first page you got:
black: black tab and red tab
silver: green tab and silver tab

Thanks for the photos, I ordered mine on Sunday and still has not arrived I've just sent an email to the seller.

I was kind of wishing for reasonable screen protector quality. Guess that would be too good to be true. From the sound of it, if I was to buy my own protectors e.g.Zagg the bumper is boing to interfere with the edges?

Another thing is, on the official website, the white doesn't come with a white tab and the black doesn't come with a black tab. Are these genuine kits?

Do let us know if the white stay white please.

 

[Fireproof!]

no problem man, glad to help others out

always been a fan of the apple bumper style case and this case takes it to a much better level

let us know what you think of the case...which color u get?

I'd also like to add that there is no flash problem on the case (it is smooth all the way around and the cutout are smooth too)

I got the black matte color from Amazon. Nice price and free shipping.

Came in non-OEM packaging labeled "Temujin iPhone4 Protective Barrier Black New". And it came with two buttons - one black and one purple.

And no screen protectors.

But I love the case - fit and finish are great and it feels awesome in the hand.

if it didnt come with screen protector & pocket stand does that mean yours is not genuine Caze product?

hmm looks to me like the unofficial ones come with case matched slips whereas the official ones are always red and white, with the exception of the white case which does green and red. Still that blue case posted earlier looks like nothing i've seen on the official site (looks great though)

I agree. Have we established that the difference in plastic quality between the officials and unofficials?

The one's I've order has got a matching colour tab, guess it's a knock off then

 

[jterp7]

Oh and with the clasp color bleeding, I wouldn't know since I immediately switched it to white however my red was already chipping. So I am certainly glad I got the extra case and stuck the white one on.

which confirms the official reviews out there on the chipping of the red...it would comical if the knockoff red clasps did not chip

Nice photos! Do you have a 4S or a Verizon phone? Just wondering how these fit on the 4S.

Thanks OP & others - took the plunge and ordered a white one. The ebay page showed it with a white and red clasp... we'll see what I actually get.

 

[Lindalou]

Well I guess mine from Amazon is a knock off. It's out for delivery so I'll report back once I get it. Figured $9.99 was too good to be true.

 

[yourmother]

I have a 4s.

The screen protector I have in the photos is the Caze. I couldnt fit the bumper with my old screen protector without it popping up on the sides. Again the Caze screen protectors are terrible.

White came with green and red clasp. Grey came with white and red.

In my first post I meant to say the Caze does NOT stick to your pocket.

 

[thatappleguytoday]

The 2 I got from my eBay seller are the official caze cases. They come in original box, phone stand, and screen protector.

Contact caze because maybe they updated the site with newer tabs

The ones off amazon are def fake knockoffs

Been using the black matte and no signs of chipping anywhere
