Incase Slider Case for iPhone 3G
Great case but some flaws...
Written by JQ from San Jose

i just recently bought this case at the apple store and tried it on my iphone 3g, had a little trouble putting it in my iphone since it has a protective film. fits in real good not tight.
PROS:
-looks and feels really good in your hand.
-protects you iphone's back from scratches.
-detachable bottom piece for easy docking.
-hard case.
-fits perfectly in you iphone 3g
-easy access to external buttons.
CONS:
-does not feel like it will protect your iphone from drops.
-really hard and frustrating when putting/removing it from your phone.
-putting/removing this case all the time may cause minor hair line scratches to the back of your iphone due to the rims that make your phone slide.
-may wear out the "matte finish" case just by simply taking out/putting in your phone in your pocket.
overview:
-GET THIS CASE if you rarely drop your phone and just want a case dat looks and feels good and at the same time protect your phones back from scratches and will rarely take off this case off your phone.
-DO NOT GET THIS CASE if you drop your phone often or all the the time and plan to take it off frequently.
other than that... not fantastic but really good case.

Incase Slider Case for iPhone 3G
Very disappointed in product, want refund!
Written by JM from Greensburg

I thought long and hard about which case to get for my phone and after reading the great reviews for this particular case, I decided to go with it. Boy, what a mistake! I had it for less than a week, dropped my phone and the case cracked in two places which caused more cosmetic damage to my phone than I had done to it in one year prior to owning this case. I couldn't even get it off! I had to break the case and cut it with shearers to even get it off of my phone. I do no recommend this case for your phone, especially if you ever want to see your phone again.

get a different case

A week after I bought this case, I dropped the phone and the screen was knocked out. My previous case was leather and just a bit bigger, but managed to protect the phone from a number of drops.
Moral of the story the case is slick and slips out of your hand easily and doesn't really protect the phone. $35 wasted.(28 of 48 people found this review useful)

this case is a nice snug fit and ideal for docking, but when i recently removed the case several scratches were on the back of the phone, which i wasnt best pleased about. not sure why but a fault which i now realise others have picked up on.

Incase Slider Case for iPhone 3G
Scratch
Written by JL from Bunbury

I have had this case since i got my iPhone 3G in Febuary. At first I was very impressed with the protection, style and grip the case provided. Then after a few weeks i noticed a build up of dust/dirt around the edges of the screen. This is not a huge problem as it can easily be cleaned and there is no way around the build up.
I hardly ever take my iPhone out of the case, but recently I did so to show a friend the back of my lovely shiny iPhone. Upon removal of the case I was very disappointed to see scratches ALL OVER the back of the phone. I am not very bothered about the minor scratches but there are 3 or 4 VERY MAJOR scratches across the back of my iPhone.
Overall this case is good but fails to keep the phone safe. Would no recommend spending £25 on it.(7 of 7 people found this review useful)

Incase Slider Case for iPhone 3G
Perfect case for 3G
Written by AD from Melbourne

Perfect case. Very durable. Great for people who use the dock frequently.
Recently lost my iPhone with the case. Re-purchasing this case. Very happy with this product.
Word of advice - do not use this case with a screen protector as the case is made to fit the iPhone w/out the screen protector. If you do, you may risk scratching the back of your phone.Was this useful?

Best Case I Have Seen!
Written by RH from Singapore

This case is great in the hand, simply, yet looks awesome. You won't want to change cases with this! Even though my case is a tiny bit tight at the bottom piece, i'm really happy i settled for this. Easy to take out of the pocket and even though it might look very slippery, it is quite grippy with that glossy finish. No Regret! Go and buy it!!

Incase Slider Case for iPhone 3G
Made Me a Case Lover
Written by JM from Carp

When I first got my iPhone i got a silicone case for it and hated it. It was a PAIN to put in ur pocket and it took away the sleek look of the amazing phone! So since then i haven't been using a case but the back has been getting scuffed up. Realising it was time to save my phone, I looked at the apple store. and it was either the Incase Slider of the Contour Flick. I decided on the slider base on youtube reviews and I LOVE IT. I got the white one and it looks amazing on the phone. obviously great protection and slim to the phone.
The only cons about the case I have are: adds a little bit of weight to the phone but nothing you cant get used to, I find at the end of the day there is dust and dirt build up in the opening of the bottom of the case, and that it is SOOOOO TIGHT on the phone. I am afraid of breaking my iPhone trying to get it off.I think it will get easier with time though. DEF RECOMMENDED(13 of 17 people found this review useful)

Black case review
Written by AY from Belfast
May 23, 2009
Looks really good, and protects the iphone well. the problem is the durability of the case itself. After only one week the rubber coating started wearing off the edges of the case. I have had other phones with a similar coating that have lasted at least a year with no wear.

Incase Slider Case for iPhone 3G
Nice design but poor quality and no service
Written by FB from Toronto
May 22, 2009
I love the design of this case but the quality is just horrible.
I purchased mine back in late November 2008 and, about a month after, the rubber coating started peeling off. Fast forward to today and a lot of the rubber coating has peeled off. I know I am not the only one since there are a few other reviews outlining the same problem.
Tried to go through the warranty for replacement but no reply from Incase.
What a waste of money. Save your $40 and get something more durable.(14 of 16 people found this review useful)
