Default A review - Switcheasy Capsule Neo

A long wait with no case and I finally decided Neo is the one for my iPhone.
Rode down to CompNow at 64 clarendon street today afternoon and got me a white one at 34.95 AUD.

Fit - Excellent Fit. Chances of dust getting into various parts of the phone is limited. Dust can get inside the phone near the speaker slots and thats about it. You get a small radio button to plug into the headphone socket. You also get a connector protector.

Installation - 10/10 . very easy to install.

Step 1 - clean the front and back of the phone with the cleaning cloth provided

Step 2 - Put on the screen protector. They supply a hard-plastic credit card sorta thing to squeeze out the air bubbles.

Step 3 - Dress the back end of the iphone with the plastic jacket they provide.

Step 4 - Place one end of the iphone into the hard-plastic jacket and then slide the other end so it sits snugly in the hard-plastic jacket

Step 5 - Sit the power/speaker end of the iphone into the middle-bit plastic (with the switch-easy logo on it ) and then push the top end into it. Note that if you dont sit the power/speaker end of the iphone into the middle plastic-bit first, you stand a chance to tear the soft-plastic jacket in step 3.

Thats it. You are all set.


What do you get -
2 * screen protectors
1 * radio button headphone socket protector
1 * Video Stand
1 * Connector protector
1 * Universal dock adapter
1 * Microfiber wipe
2 * ultra-thin slick fit soft plastic

Usability -

All the buttons on the phone have excellent reaction time and I dont find any difference before the case and after the case. I have to give it a 10/10 for usability.


Enjoy the case and it has to be one of the best cases in the market atm. 34.95 is well spent on it.

Cheers

Good quick review Sid.

I changed my Capsule-Tiger for a White CapsuleNeo a couple of weeks ago.

I found that the included screen protector is fantastic. I have not noticed a reduction in tactile response on the screen PLUS finger print marks are greatly reduced.

The Neo's design compliments the iPhone very nicely.

The fragile feeling of the naked iPhone is totally eliminated by the Neo.
