Are you able to plug in non standard Iphone headphones? I bought a Bumper and can't use any headphones other than the ones that came with my phone. Been looking for a case that doesn't have this problem.
 
Does anyone know how to return these things if you used the screen protector already? This flash problem is so annoying! White is so nice but the flash=/
 
I got my ultra black and clear today and love them. They are nice and sleek and give a great look to an already beautiful phone. I am happy with my purchase.

How do you put the case on? Is it made up of two parts?

I got mail saying mine was shipped today (12th). Hope I get it by the weekend.
 
here is the deformation in my case. ignore the green blob, its from the florescent lights here at work.

Would someone be willing to post pics of the clear case (while on the phone)?

Thanks!!
 
what kind of blemishes do you see?



Received both of my Nude's today. Here are some pics of the Ultra-Black. Excuse the crappy photo's, I took them in a hurry.

Likes:
-Adds very little bulk to the phone.
-Very good fit. Perfect around all buttons/switches.
-Port covers.
-Buttons are recessed, but still accessible. Some think this is a negative, I do not.
-Great price.

Dislikes:
-Minor blemishes right out of the package. Not major, but noticeable.
-Major rainbow effect with screen protectors. I like that they are included, but I will be getting another set.


I just received the case today so I cannot comment on the durability. First impression, I do love the look of the Ultra-Black.
I also purchased this case in Teal for my wife if anyone needs pics.

there's a video made by a user here in this thread, a couple pages back.

just insert the phone on one edge, and snap in the other side.

the case comes w/ dust covers for the headphone and apple connector at the bottom, and it is color matched to the case.
 
let me also add that the ultra clear has significant water effect on the back, unless its just because of my slightly deformed case. regardless i want a refund. screen protectors have horrible rainbow effect.
 
As a long-time SwitchEasy fan, I'm really torn on the Nude, mainly because I'm really digging the GelaSkins. It seems that this case would be perfect to showcase them, but the snug fit seems to preclude this. I hope that SwitchEasy comes up with another model that makes this possible.
 
I got mine yesterday and it feels better when it's on the phone. (As opposed to its cheap feel.) I don't like taking it on and off because I'm paranoid it'll scratch my phone. The ultraclear seems to have some sort of rainbow-ing inside the back. I tried taking it off and wiping both the case and the phone, but no luck.
 
Upon using this case for a day, it's not my type of case. It seems cheapish, and I'm super afraid to take it off my phone. I also have a dfeft in mine around the volume buttons, it's bent in. I emailed switcheay to try and get my money back or get a replacement. Hopefully they will oblige lol.
 
When did everyone order their case? I ordered mine last Wednesday 7/7 the day it came out and received an email that it shipped the next day. It is still not here! Doesn't it come somewhere from northern california? I am in San Diego. Have a hard time believing it takes more than 5 days to get here! :confused:

they never shipped it out.. same thing with me.. today finally it shows it left stockton..

they tell you its shipped but it's just a # generated.. not actually given to usps

most likely they sold out and just kept selling:rolleyes:
 
The Switcheasy Nude *Ultra Clear* case I received also had a deformation where the volume controls are. It also came with a few scuffs right out of the box.

I put my phone in the case to see how it would feel, and the edges of the case dug into my palm. It felt very uncomfortable. I'm going to see if I can get a replacement of a different color. If all the *Ultra Clears* have sharp edges, this will not work.
 
Wow, I'm surprised at all the bad reviews here. Maybe I got lucky? My corners aren't sharp, the case fits perfectly, everything is aligned, and if there's any scuffs on it already, I can't see them. I plan on the case getting scratched anyway - better it than my phone.

I don't appear to have the flash issue either, though I admit I haven't tested it extensively. I love that it comes with port protectors, too. The screen protectors are really not up to par - that I agree with. I'm only using it until my PS Crystal shields get here.

I have the Fuchsia, btw.

Thanks, just watched it. Glad I ordered an ultra-black one. Looks very slick. From the look of it, NUDE does not seem to interfere with an existing screen protector, either. :)
 
There was a picture in another Switcheasy thread of the bezel getting scratched up from this case. Anyone else having that issue?
 
There seems to be some confusion.

The Nude case is made from Lexan (which is actually a trademarked name), also known as polycarbonate. This is a very strong, durable, versatile plastic used in many applications, including Nalgene bottles.

It will deteriorate over time and develop stress cracks, though not in the lifespan of your phone. One apparently very common misconception about polycarbonate is that it is very scratch resistant. That is actually false. It scrapes quite easily, but will not scratch SS or glass, which makes it a great material for a ip4 case. Do you want scratches on your phone or your $20 case?

It has great flexibility characteristics and solid impact resistance.

Same, I'm in Los Angeles and I haven't received mine even though I got shipment notification the same day as you. I'm hoping it'll arrive tomorrow, if not I'll be emailing them, perhaps there was a problem. I've ordered various SwitchEasy products in the past and they arrive really quickly, all through USPS too.
 
Ordered late last night. then I got an email saying it shipped at 3 PM today. I live on the east coast, but I hope I get it sometime this week :D
