I like the case but I agree with you on it's problems. To reiterate them, my main problems with the case are these:

#1. The top edge isn't even cut straight in mine. It looks like someone tried to cut it with scissors and couldn't cut it straight.

#2. The pop on glass cover is a nice idea but it's way too loose. If you put it in a bag with the plastic cover, the cover will probably slide out and the screen will be scratched. If you are driving in your car, slam the brakes and your iPhone flies forward - don't expect the glass cover to stay on...

#3. The mute/unmute button needs more space around it. I found it very hard to switch between mute and unmute.

If iSkin had worked abit on the issues I mentioned, it would have been a really great case.

On a side note, another case that looks interesting is this one:

did you buy like 3 of them? or 2? ha
why did it cost you 100 so far.
They charged me twice for one case, see my post on the previous page.

I just got a call back from them and they admitted to double billing me and have reversed the charges for the second charge. Just double check your online statements to make sure they didn't double charge you too. :)

Probably an honest mistake.

I just checked mine, one charge only. Thanks for the heads up.

yeaaaaaaa

I finally got my case in, I'm so excited.... I really like it! But I have one question... someone said some posts ago, of a way to clean it... I could not remember if that was just how to clean it or if they weere saying a way to make the case not attract dust and stuff anymore... Does anyone know if there is a way to make it not attract anymore or if we just have to deal with it? because mine attracts a lot!

They said to wash it with soap and water a few times to help keep the dust off. I did that so far once and it has helped. I'll wash it again in a few more days.

I also just got my black Revo today and I'm really liking it too. It does seem to attract dust, but out of all the cases I've tried (about 5), this one seems to be the best feeling and coolest looking so far.

I was thinking if it was all white or a lighter color, you may not notice the dust, but it wouldn't look as stealthy.

I really like the texture of the casing, it's like a satiny rubber feel, very nice. I also like the tight fit and the fact that it seems like it won't stretch much over time.

We'll see...

Mine just got delivered a few minutes ago.

Humm... compared to my Incase which is very sleek... I'm not all that impressed. What it already driving me nuts is that after one trip into my pocket it has lint stuck ALL OVER it. The Incase doesn't have this problem.

It fits nicely in there... and it's a nice touch that there is a lense cover for the camera lens built in too. We'll see, let me play with it a bit.

I love the look of this case.

Only thing is, look at the top flap... am i paranoid or deos it looks a little looser then the bottom... Dust accumulates under the top part from time to time.

I got a boxwave screen protector that covers the entire front and then I put the Revo on. I absolutely love the Boxwave protectors, they are IMO the easiest to put on & take off, and they look and protect so well at a great price.

Here's the link if anyone's interested:

Got my Revo - I like it

I got my Revo yesterday in the mail. I ordered as soon as it came out and selected standard shipping and paid with paypal. Up until now I have been using an incase. The incase was stretching out and not snugly fitting the iPhone. I had not taken the phone out since I put it in so the stretching out was not a result of frequent phone removals.

The Revo is very nice. The case has a good feel to it - not a sticky rubber feel but smoother. This makes it easier to take it in and out of a pocket. I usually keep my iPhone in my pocket so I do like the cover on the headphone jack and pin connector on the bottom. Both were getting dirty with lint from my pocket with the incase. The Revo has a good snug fit to it. I do like the extra thickness of the case on the top since it provides a little separation from my face to the phone when talking - less face oils on the phone screen. That thickness does get in the way slightly when typing and hitting the space bar but I think that will be something I will quickly get used to. I don't think I will be using the plastic cover in normal every day use but I do think it will be useful for traveling when I want to put the iPhone in my bag - the plastic cover will provide some additional protection.

Overall I like the case - it is the best that I have used and seen.

Ok, after a couple of days with the case, I like it. Fits good, seems to function great and it offers a little more protection than my Incase.

Yeah I'm feeling the same way. It's impossible IMO to find a perfect case for the iPhone, but I think the Revo comes the closest in terms of style, functionality, protection, & form factor. I do like how the silicone over the earpiece keeps that area from getting too waxed up.

Hopefully in a few weeks the silicon will still hold it's snug form and we'll all still be enjoying our Revo's.

Someone can disagree with me, but the pictures do not indicate a revo that is loose...it just fits so snuggly that it needs to be pulled straight....im not sure if this makes sense to anyone without the case. Mine fits perfect and looks like the ones in the images.

I agree, it fits very snuggly, you just need to move things around until it's all centered. The only problem is that by carrying it around in your pocket things can get out of whack again. With a few tugs here and there it all lines back up again.

I'll post another picture soon to better illustrate my point... For my revo, If u are looking from a certain angle, you can literally see underneath the top part of the case. You can not, from any angle, see under the bottom part of the case.

Ok. Hopefully these images better explain what I am experiencing with my Revo.

This is how the revo looks on the bottom. Tight / Snug



This is how the revo looks on the top. Not so tight... Not so snug.



Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this standard? I am assuming it isn't the case. Over the last two days, i have had to clean the dust off of the top of my iPhone
