sgp ultra thin or incipio feather?

@iphonelovers the Incipio Ultra Light Feather is a very nice case, tested a few weeks ago. I also have a CAZE Zero5 on the way, should get it next week. Just wondering if the CAZE Jade Polish good points are confirmed. CaZe was a nice surprise, they're shipping from HK products that are far better than Ideal-Case ones. Will let you know! :)
 
I have an Incipio and I couldn't be happier. It's a surprisingly tight fit and it has a classy texture. I already dropped the phone a couple of times (once I've been completely hammered in London and the phone survived several drops to the pavement). I might get another one in olive or yellow, they look so nice.

Although, the Incipio includes some screen protection sleeves, I would recommend the anti-glare stickers from @@@@@@ (I can't remember), but they are in an olive pack. It's about $15 for a pack of two or three. That is the best screen protector that I have ever seen. It has the same texture as the trackpad on my unibodies.

I have a few Incipio feathers and quite like them. Great texture, available in a wide variety of colors and I don't have to take 'em off to use my Bose Sound Dock. Even though I've heard they can drop-protect OK, I still will switch them out with an NGP or CandyShell if I'm thinking I might be in a drop-hazard situation.
 
I have been looking into getting one of these for a while. The feather is my preference but I dont know anyone who actually has one, i need protection with out the bulk .

I loved my feather. I always deep down knew that it was only good for protecting the back of the iphone from scratches but always hoped that if I ever dropped it that it would protect it and sure enough this is what happened. It is a case purely for minimal protection.

owch. and yes the sgp ultra thin or the incipio feather does not cover the chrome bezel. they may be very thin but you have to remember they are for minimal protection.
sgp has a new ultra hybrid which looks just like the ultra thin but has the bezel covered with another layer of rubber or plastic added. Ultra Thin Version 2?

@zdblue11 thanks for reporting that brand new SGP case, look awesome! Will test one as soon as possible :)
 
looks like a v2 of the neo hybrid, i'm interested to see how will the black and white version (eclipse) look with a black iphone.

Excellent! I can't wait to hear what you think. I'm extremely tempted to try this case out with the white/crystal version.

If you have a white backed version, and you wear jeans, I'd love to know if you get blue/green stains on the white after some days in your pocket. That's the main this keeping be from ordering one.

Look forward to your review, thanks Schneiderman!

No problem, and what do you know i also got the White.Crystal color, looks really good, love how the chrome bezel will show thru the clear plastic.

Oh nice! Well I can't wait to see pics and hear what you thought.

How is the back part of the case? I know it's a hard plastic, but I see a texture. Is it still slippery enough to slide easy in jeans pockets?

I really like soft cases, but I hate how sticky they can be going in and out of pockets.

My biggest concern is the possibility of stains though. I've yet to find a white case that won't stain from jeans. If this one is good on that respect I may have to order a white/crystal.

Thanks, can't wait to hear/see your impressions.

The back is hard and does have a gritty texture i call it "anodized plastic" nope it doesn't really add much grip and it slide easily in 'n out of the pocket. The only soft part is the silicone the covers the chrome however i think it should be a little more soft because i have a hard time pressing the power button, it takes some force to push it down because the silicone is not that soft. No stains at all. It's very durable from what i see. You will still love it! It's a great case :)
