hey every1,:D ive been a lurker on this forum for quite some time i figure id start posting now that im an official member to the world of apple (macbook and now iphone 3gs!) :)

for me buying a new case for your iphone is almost as exciting as getting the actual phone itself (or maybe its just me lol)...especially now that there are so many awesome new cases out, functional, eye catching, etc. theres a case for every1

im kind of OCD about things to begin with and even moreso now that im slowly becoming somewhat of an apple fiend with that said i spent alot of time researching what the best case was....alot of ppl were pointing to the Rebel cases as they have style + protection (hybrid of soft and hard case)

well i got my rebel case in the serpent style last week and my findings were not good.

overall the case is not the greatest and i would not recommend this case to anyone.

:( now the search for the best case continues!

btw...
wanted to share some images of some unique cases..have u all seen these? (probably so b/c alot of the ads on this website direct to these websites)

Austrian designer and jeweler Peter Aloisson left us tight-lipped when he rolled out the $176,400 Princess Plus iPhone and now, he is back with yet another stunning creation. The new Apple iPhone 3G “Kings Button” is made of solid 18 carat yellow gold, white gold and rose gold. The white gold line is encrusted with a total of 138 brilliant cut diamonds of the best quality. But the most prominent feature of this one-of-a-kind phone is its home button that features a rare 6.6 carat diamond. The Kings Button iPhone exudes luxury from every nook and corner. This stunning diamond-encrusted iPhone comes for a whopping €1,790,000 (US $2,517,345), much more than the Princess Plus. For the price, it steals the crown of the world’s most expensive iPhone. Now tell me, what the heck is this credit crunch?

I am surprised you didnt like the SwitchEasy Rebel I have the non serpent one in black and have had none of the problems you have.

Infact out of the Griffin Nuform, iSkin Solo and the Switch Easy I would say the Switch Easy blows them all out of the water big time.

The Nuform broke in the corner after about 2 weeks from must being taken off a few times.

The iSkin solo in white dis-colored badly from being stained by everything I put it down on.

So far I have no problems with the Switch Easy case and it even got a A- from iLounge.
