Switcheasy Vulcan

jasko said:
Ordered this case on the 22nd... received it yesterday on the 24th. The thing I like about Switcheasy is the quick shipping, considering I live in Florida and they ship it from California.

Weird. I ordered mine on the 12th and didn't get it until the 24th...and mine only had to go half the distance as yours.

I got the black case for the black iPhone. Looks great. All the ports lined up w/o having to massage the case. Hopefully it protects well
 
Mine shipped on the 18th and the tracking hasn't changed so it looks like it isn't coming today. Maybe Monday it might come. I want to order the torrent as well but I will just wait till mygearstore.com gets it in stock as it never takes more than 3 days to get it an I live in New York.
 
Dont like this case at all.

Shows fingerprints and scratches.

Alignment is off.

The only reason I did not return this is the plug in protectors for the earphone jack and the dock fit when I use my SGP Neo.

But I have a case body that I will never use and probably throw away.

I don't understand how this crappy material gets used. Dont these guys actually use their products and test market them...?

I think not.

The only advantage over my SGP Neo is the case is one piece.
 
ive got the new blue see-thru speck candy shell, i dont use it but its very nice. i cant seem to give up my leather pouch for a case but its fit is top notch and offers lots of protection
 
I'm still liking this case a lot, but the edges are starting to become an annoyance. As mentioned previously, the edges where the material was cut feels like it's going to cut my hand. haha. Anyone have a solution for this?

Contact them via email and they might give you a replacement, depending on the nature of the case's problem. That's what I did before when I had the Neo.
 
Removing oil

What's the best/safest way to clean the oil build-up (from hands) on the screen protector?
 
put a small bit of dawn soap on a moist papertowel and scrub it...careful not to have the towel too wet (dont want water dripping into earpiece)

would reccomend shutting phone down, cleaning, waiting for any extra water you may have gotten in earpiece to dry up, then starting it back up once everything is dry - not necessary but just to be safe

if you use too much water, once phone is shut off use a vacum to suck water out of speakers or earpiece (DONT use hairdryer or fan...will push water further in) voice of experience :D
 
A couple of people in here mentioned that they were using a clear Vulcan with a black iphone. Is there any way you guys can post some pics of that combination? I'm very interested in this case but I haven't seen the clear version on a black phone yet. I'm also curious if the clear on black shows fingerprints and if the case bubbles your screen protector. I had the bubbling problem with my iskin solo fx se and it's one of the reasons I ended up sending the case back for a refund. The buttons were also very hard to press with the iskin but I would assume that's not much of a problem with this case - Switcheasy is known for attention to detail in this area.
 
I just ordered a case

black from Wireless rage. I had a 10% coupon with them so plus free ship. I should have it by the end of the week. I will take some pics maybe a video if there is a interest.
 
I think the white case looks even cooler on the black iphone than the black case... the cool V design stands out much more... here are some pics (i don't have the plugs in):

I picked my wife up a iSkin Solo FX and I liked the way it fit, so I picked up the regular iSkin Solo in solid black for myself, and I wasn't crazy about the fit around the bezel. I went ahead and ordered the Vulcan today, and I'm hoping I like it more.
 
daremo have you tried or looked at the Incipio NGP? If so, what are your thoughts on it?

I did. I like the material, and the fit is decent, but the bottom portion bothered me. The piece that covers the chrome bezel on the bottom was easy to bend away from the chrome. The iSkin Solo is sort of the same way, but the Vulcan looks like it may solve that issue having separate holes for the mic/speaker and dock opening. Plus, the bonus of the headphone and dock covers are nice with the Vulcan. I'm looking forward to checking it out.
 
@Daremo I've noticed the NGP little bending on the lower side on a picture posted on italian forum, btw my Vulcan has a similar behaviour too, honestly less than the NGP, maybe because of the dock connector protector fitted in..

My Vulcan arrived today. I'm liking this case so much more then the iSkin Solo. AND, I've come up with a solution for the bottom lifting problem when the dock cover is in place.

I'll put up a review, and video, also showing the solution possibly tomorrow. :)
 
nice! daremo do you have a white or black iphone? and what color did u get for the vulcan?

also, is it thinner or thicker than the iskin solo? I found the NGP to be a bit thicker than the solo, but wasn't happy with the NGP overall.


Cant wait to see your vid/review thanks!

I have a black phone, the wife has white, so I can check on both colors. I picked up the black (or smoke) color case for my black phone.

I think it's about the same thickness as the iSkin Solo. If there is any difference, it's slight. Not much at all.
 
Switcheasy case recomendation needed?

I've been wanting to purchase a switcheasy case. I've heard great things seen youtube reviews still can't make up my mind. Found a site that has most of the desighns except or the reptile im sure they will have that soon since they carry the rest. I really like the Switcheasy rebel M and the RebelSerpent? Has anyone purchased any of these cases which would you reccomend? They look almost similar except the M looks a bit Bulky?

This site has alot of accessories for the iphone. Incipio,Switcheasy,Belkin etc.. that i couldn't find on other sites.

Ordered one of these on Saturday and it was shipped from their store today. Question: How long does delivery take to the UK from the European store? I'm getting my iPhone on Thursday so do you think it'll be here in time for that?
