My case comes in today.
I ordered regular shipping on Thursday at 2pm est. I also ordered those extra dooohickies to get the free shipping. I.E. I spent an extra 5 bucks for a lanyard and cleaning thing. I'll let you know if the lanyard can even safetly support the weight of the iPhone.

mine just got here...got the light blue/black one. I like the material..very different feel. it does collect dust, no matter what they say. it will be just as easy for particles to get lodged between case and have the potential to scratch, though not so much if you put the hard plastic cover on the front ,which i plan to do when it's in the pocket of my purse. my only complaint so far is that mine arrived dirty on the light blue part right by the home button and you can *really* see it. I've tried a wet cloth and scraping it with my fingernail and it's not budging...i've emailed them about it so we'll see. After lunch I'll get my camera and post a pic...
I received this case on Tuesday, I ordered the blue one as well.. or "blade" as they call it. The blue on mine seems more of a plain blue as opposed to the light blue as posted above. Anyway, I left mine in the case for the past few days and have not taken it out at all. I came into work this morning and decided to check it out. Not a single scratch, yet! I also have used the incase rubber case as well and didn't have any scratches. However with this case as compared to the incase one, it has a small rubber lip that comes over the top that adds a bit more protection when it comes to dust and what not from slipping down the sides. I also don't have dirt in my pockets though, I generally have it in my work pants (slacks), or at home. Like said above though, the black rubber will attract lint and you'll see it. A swift blow of air on the case and its pretty clean though. Overall, I prefer this one well over the incase simply due to the added protected on the front of the screen and how the case feels. From the pics on the site, it looks like it would be a tough textured rubber. However, its supppper soft and feels great in the hand. don't really have the ability at the moment to post some pictures...but if it isn't done later, I will do so tonight. I prefer the colored Revo, it looks MUCH better than the all black one posted back a few pages. Also, on a last note... a negative one: The "visor" is useless in my opinion. It as everyone else is saying, is quite a bit lose and simply looks stupid while on it.. I wont be using it.
Yay! first post! =)

i ordered the black last thursday, and it JUST shipped yesterday, Aug1st, and will be here the 6th...i got the black because i want it to look sleek, but my favourite color is lightblue ha, shoulda got that one, but oh well
Just got the case... all black. No complains on the fit feel or look of the actual case. It looks better in real life then it did in those pictures posted earlier. I am very pleased. It's really better then any case I have come in contact with in Apple stores. WAY better then the incase junker.
The Privacy Film is a pretty cool idea. It gives it that tinted window look. "Black on Black." It is also highly functional. I can see fine from straight on.
That plastic cover is useless. It will probably stay in the box... if for some reason I may need it one day.
The LCD screen cleaner that came with it works better then that cloth that comes with the iPhone.
I do not see me trusting the lanyard. It works ok if you use it as a wrist strap to make sure it doesn't fall out of your hand while in use, but i won't be hanging the iPhone from my kneck any time soon... or ever.

Privacy film:
I took my Revo case off so I could wash it. It also gave me the chance to put the privacy film on the screen since I didn't do it when I first got the case. The film is protected by a clear sheet on both sides.
Side A is peeled off and you apply that side to the screen. Side B is peeled off after apllying the film to the screen. The film only overs the area where the actual viewing screen is. The rest of the screen is covered by the Revo case.
I had three small air bubbles that hopefully will eventually smooth.
The film gives the screen a smoke screen effect. So far it looks good, will take a bit to get used to, especially when watching videos and movies.
Oh and when I put the skin back on the phone, it went back on just like new, no stretching!

Giles. I just came on to the board to see if anyone was having a similar scenario as myself, and as far as I can see from the picture, it looks like you do.
On the front portion of the case, does anyone find the top part to be looser then the bottom part. This isn't do to stretching, it's just the way my case is.
If you look at Giles case, you can see the top pink section is not a TIGHT as the bottom pink section.
Is this standard? is anyone else experiencing this?

Mine does not have that even after taking the case off for the first time on Thursday to clean the fuzz off.
the case actually pretty tight even on the top part, it's just that, the pink part on top does not straight, it kind of curve to the middle, sorry i have no idea how to explain it. maybe i took the picture in that angle make it looks like it's loosen.
If you ordered this skin from them online, you might want to check your account statement. They double charged me for my single iSkin.
The transactions took place at the same time. When I called them they weren't real helpful and told me to wait for some "online manager" to confirm the double payment and they would email me. I'll let you guys know how this gets resolved.

So far I've paid $100 for mine, and I would say no... no skin is worth 1/6th of the phones cost.
