Orange ordered.
I'd love to see an all white colour of this case or the pixelskin hd.
Got the orange today, very happy with i, think it could be my all time favourite case!
slimmer then the PixelSkin Hd which this case looks alot like, colour is nice and fresh.
feels great in the hand and also la on the table design
highly recommended

I got mine just in via Amazon and I like it so far
I used to have a pixelskin HD from Speck on my iphone4 and the modello feels a bit stiffer and is definitely a little bit thinner.
Als the pixelskin was soft to the touch but this one is rather hard, I don't know how to describe it
This looks likes a really good case for the money, I paid 10

Just got my Olive Green case in for my black iPhone 4
Pros:
-Thin
-Nice simple design (no lint attraction)
-Very tactile buttons (especially power button)
Cons:
-Does not fit snug (like a hard case or even something like the Switcheasy Eclipse)
-Loose edges - due to the loose fit very easy to pull back edges after only a few hours, not sure how long it will last over time
-Someone mentioned the top is "squishy" bc there appears to be some extra space at the top of the case, this is an issue with my case. You cant really tell but if you push the top of the phone you can tell right away that is not a perfect glove-like fit, which is disappointing.
-Protection is pretty minimal
Went from using an Otterbox Reflex to the Switcheasy Eclipse and now to the SGP Modello.
Reflex was too fat, Eclipse a bit too rigid (esp the buttons), and Modello a bit too flimsy...when will the search for the perfect case end? never i guess

I bought an orange when I had a black iPhone. Now I have a white one and I don't think the orange looks as good on it. I'm thinking about buying an olive green and a charcoal grey. They both look good on the white iPhone in pics that have been posted.

Wow, that's a huge bummer about the fit. Did you contact SGP about it? I've been thinking about getting this case. Can anyone else comment about the fit? Is the case that flimsy?
My case fits perfectly. I've had it since it was released and haven't taken it off since
Definitely my favorite case at the moment.

x2.
My green case does not fit properly at all especially on the top
It holds its shape perfectly (which is why I think many of you are saying it fits well)
However, press near the headphone jack area, it shouldnt have a gap that you can press the top of the case down into.
On top of that the sides of the case have picked up ALOT of dirt.
Overall, I am very disappointed with this case, I prefer the Switcheasy Eclipse, more protection, case less likely to pick up dirt, tighter fit, only five bucks more.
Still going to search for the perfect case i guess...
CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A CASE SIMILAR TO THIS ONE?

I was thinking of buying this case but after people began mentioning similar issues I held off on it. I do own a Pixelskin HD which is similar and it's a great case. Very snug fit and hasn't lost any of its shape whatsoever for me personally.
Gotcha. The Elago S4 Glide might be what you're looking for. I own the Elago Slimfit 2 in Indigo Blue and love it. Great customer service too. You can save money by buying it from their Amazon store if you don't want the additional screen films they add to the package on the official company site.

Believe it or not I researched the Elago slider and the main problem with that is the top microphone is covered by the case (there is no hole)
Many reviewers have said this is a huge issue so I stayed away.
The Modello is driving me nuts, really picking up all sorts of dirt (should have gotten a black color) and the top is very loose.

Where did you hear that? It actually has a decent size cutout for both the headphone jack and the noise cancellation mic.
You can see it in this video.
