Review: id America Skyline Rigid Flex Case for iPhone 4/4S
By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla
We usually avoid rubber iPhone cases simply because they usually attract a lot of dust, many get deformed and we find that many inadvertently turn the phone on or off when not necessary. id America's Skyline Rigid Flex Case for the iPhone 4 and 4S goes against the grain in terms of quality and design.
The Skyline Rigid Flex Case is described as "Light-Weight Elegant Stylish Integrate style to your iPhone 4 with id America's SKYLINE Rigid-flex Case. Precision-build to be light-weight, The Rigid-flex Case provides the kind of visual impact that no other competitors could match." Hoo-kay!
Secured Perfect fitment Skyline Rigid-flex Case ($24.95) is made with specially stiffened thermoplastic polyurethanes to provide rigidity you need for protection and flexibility you need for the perfect fitment.
We used the case without the plastic inserts and found it to be pliable yet rigid and its matte finish seems to be repellent to dust and dirt. Note that the perforated design as well as the general style of this case usually results in dust, pocket lint and other debris getting stuck in between the iPhone and the case. While the iPhone 4 is resilient and pretty resistant to scratches, any bit of dust lodged in between the case and the glass might cause scratches.
That being said, we'v eused the Skyline Rigid Flex Case for a week on our iPhone 4S and have been satisfied with it. Lightweight and well built, it feels slightly better than other silicone cases we've used. We did notice that the case does at times cause the iPhone to wake from sleep, something of an issue with the case and the power button which is easily triggered.
With Skyline Rigid-flex Case package, you get a receive Skyline Rigid-flex Case', 'Front and Back Crystal Clear Screen Protective Film', 'Installation Squeegee' and 'Microfiber Cleaning Cloth' which is the most complete protection solutions we've seen in a case of this sort.
Overall, this is a lightweight case that offers great quality and protection for every iPhone 4/4S user.
