Power Support Crystal Jacket?

ironic:

I went to the apple store two days in a row to see if they had any...none.

Oh well, I went home and ordered them online. 3-5 day shipping. ugh. Went to the store to exchange my phone for the 8gb version, they had like 200 crystal films...doh!

So, like me, I just bought one, and now am trying to cancel my phone order. I can't wait for anything :)

Update: I e-mailed the sales service support and they refunded my account. They said they have already processed and shipped the jackets but would refund my account anyways. So nice of them. :)
 
So, since my last post I have noticed the crystal jacket becoming loose? I don't know how that is possible, since it's not rubber or stretchable. My phone does move around in it. It's very faint though. I think someone mentioned something about putting a tiny piece of foam for a tight fit. I might have to try it.
Here are actual pics of what it looks like with the crystal jacket and then when it's in my timbuk2 accessory case. It gives you an idea as to how bulky it isn't. Oh, did I mentioned I love the film that comes with it. If you're going to invest in something, definitely get the film. You can't even tell it's on.

looks good, but looks bulky...too bulky for me, I'm waiting for my bse to come so I can cover the back. the crystal jacket for the screen went on perfect and I can hardly tell its there.
 
It MAY scratch/scuff your iphone

Like I said...."it MAY scratch your iphone." I have that Power Support Crystal jacket and loved it....until I decided to remove it to clean the iphone and noticed scratches on the Power Supoort Crystal Film where the jacket is open to expose the touch screen.

When I get the chance, I'll take pictures of it and post.

Great jacket, it wasn't too bulky....but MAY scratch/scuff. I have since kept it off...but the crystal film is awesome.
 
Here are the photos:

Not the greatest photos, but well enough to see the scratches/scuffs from the Crystal Jacket.

BTW...I had my iphone in the Crystal Jacket for a few days only.

Keep in mind....the damage is only on the Crystal Film...Maybe the jacket won't scratch the touch screen glass...but maybe it would.

hmmm, yeah tough to say. People really seem to dig the crystal fil but if your getting that much free-space from the jacket I would say trash it...

power support protective film = it's crap = was surprised it got such positive comments. both mine arrived scratched. they should really protect both sides of the shield until application.

i had clarivue.com shields for my old motorola and loved it so hopefully the iphone version is just as reliable.

I would just like to say... WHAWHAT ?!?!
 
So yeah, I returned it. It did end up leaving some scratches on the film and phone. I took it off last week and have had it naked ever since. It does just fine that way. But, if you look back up at the pictures, I still use the timbuk2 accessory case. I LOVE IT.
That's the third case and probably the last one for a good while.
 
I for the life of me cant figure out how to take off the case... The people at the apple store put it on for me and it needs to be cleaned now. How exactly do you get it off? Ive tried pushing pulling and i just cant seem to figure it out!
 
I didn't like it...

The case looked great for the first 20 minutes, then it started picking up all kinds of dust under the plastic. Because it is a smooth clear plastic it gets tons of tiny scratches whenever you set the phone down, after a while they become really visible. The Crystal Shield and the belt clip are great though, I'm currently using them both with an Agent18 ecoshield, which I highly recommend.
 
I need to know too!

I've tried everything I can to get this case off but it won't budge. I'm affraid if I pry any harder it's going to break. Is there a trick to it?

Pry harder! I have this case too but I don't want it. It's going back up for sale too... way too bulky IMO!
 
I really really want this!

I just got the Agent18 ecoshield and my friend has the belt clip for the crystal jacket and it works sooooo well together. Does anybody have or know where I can get that particular clip. I don't want to buy a whole set when I all I want is the clip. Would appreciate positive feedback, thanks!

You have to open the case from the opening of volume control. That's the only spot that you can open it. I always doing this once a week to clean it.

Why not buy the whole set? You're going to get the Crystal film, Crystal jacket and Clip. Is the Agent18 is really better? You have any review/link for Agent18 because my Crystal jacket is wearing off (time for replacement).
