Incase Snap Case Review for the iPhone 4

[evanbaranek]

i have read reviews that the case cracks without dropping it and some corners tend to break off, have seen anything of this sort?

[ShadyCaveman568]

that piece of shit is $35? fuck that

[c9974472]

Nice review.

[Slobodan488]

Is it firm, and do you have a good grip? I bought a case just like that one (eBay lol) and it so bad that i dont use it anymore because it gets slippery easy and im afraid of dropping my iphone 4s..

[babehc]

can you show me how to take it off? i cant take it off

[chineseboyINUS]

Will it fit on 4s? I want to buy it but I worried about that cars work

[XxsagexX187]

hey do u think it would fit on my iphone 4s if i put a skinit on?

[llFLYFFBLADEll]

@XxsagexX187 look on apple store website it saids compatible in iPhone 4s

[XxsagexX187]

@llFLYFFBLADEll no i mean if i put a skinit on it like a sticker on the back. would it fit?

[llFLYFFBLADEll]

@XxsagexX187 sticker?? u mean like apple sticker?? if it like apple sticker it will, and if ur talking about screen protector on the back then im sure it will fit.

Its just a sticker, its not bulky so im sure it will.

[0521BA]

have you had any scratch issues? I really want a clear case for when i get my iphone 4s and i thought this might be good? Thanks i appreciate it

[FastForwardShows]

[maltii97]

für so ein kleines Stück Plastik 34 Euro das ist doch mal richtig  abzocke!!

[Namenlos55]

You have link where i can buy it ? couldnt find it online?

[thefakeguy]

will this fit on the 4S?

[JKDLIFER]

@thefakeguy yes it will

[alvincena234]

Is it a scratch resistant?

[randomnoyz]

HOW MUCH?

[TekBeatTV]

@randomnoyz $34.95 currently I believe!

[boardboy297]

I was wondering if after a few days of having the case on your phone if you can see dust collecting in between the back of the case and the phone?

[TekBeatTV]

@boardboy297 Not really, but it does collect a bit under the lip of the case. Hope this helps!

[Lakaizinho]

I just got the smoke version of this case, and in less than 1 week the "paint" that gives the smoke effect just started to come off...

have any of you guys had this problem, or is my case a "fake" one?

[TekBeatTV]

@Lakaizinho Sorry to hear that, I did not experience that with mine but I did have that experience on my Incase Snap Battery Case. I would contact Incase to see if you can get a replacement. Hope this helps!

[LizardBonerKING]

@Lakaizinho that happened to my mac book case

[Wyatt277]

crap



[matthew1or2]

Hi, I am thinking of getting this case. Do you know if it will bubble up on the rim of the phone with a screen protector on it? I have the SGP Ultra Crystal Screen Protector. Thanks.

[TekBeatTV]

@matthew1or2 It should not bubble as long as you make sure the shield is aligned properly. Hope this helps!

[SuperLoseruser]

Hi I have a smoke case and I was wondering do you think if I dropped it it would break or my phone would break? Thanks

[TekBeatTV]

@SuperLoseruser Honestly that is hard to say, really depends on height etc. I have dropped my own phone with that case (clear not smoke) on concrete from pants height and no real issues at all (the snap case was scratched up though). Hope this helps!

[TekBeatTV]

@rlstine3 haha I am looking into it. Just want to make sure I do not violate any YouTube copyright issues :).

[EuroRocket]

Thanks for the review, going to get one for the iphone im going to get next month.



[TekBeatTV]

@EuroRocket No problem, glad I could help! :)

[TekBeatTV]

@johnyapjx1994 Hmm sorry to hear that, with the bubbling I did not experience that, make sure the shield is perfectly aligned (usually apply the shield after the case is on). Hope this helps!

[drzoom28]

how is the drop protection? also, what screen protectors would you recommend?

[TekBeatTV]

@drzoom28 Honestly this case does not have much drop protection, it is really for protection against scratching etc. I would suggest using SGP Ultra Crystal Clears (have been my favorite). Hope this helps!

[hagios9]

how's the case now? any cracks? scratches?



[TekBeatTV]

@hagios9 See below ;)

[hagios9]

how's the case now? any cracks?



[TekBeatTV]

@hagios9 No crack yet, still working great! :)

[hagios9]

@TekBeatTV really? no scratches or anything like that? i've seen other reviews where that was the case

[jaarrestad]

There should be a case for the case, so the case don't get any scratches ;-)

[JDEFELICE94]

Would you recommend this one in black or the bumper in black? also i have a HD anti glare screen protector too...does this clear one get visible scratches on the back easily?

[TekBeatTV]

@JDEFELICE94 I personally would suggest the Black as it is a matte finish versus the seethru. Over time you will get scratches on the clear. Hope this helps!

[jam1e8]

Out of all the clear cases that you have reviewed which one would you recommend?

[TekBeatTV]

@jam1e8 Hmm it would depend on what you mean by "clear" do you mean completely clear or even white frosted? If it include frosted, my favorite has been the Pinlo Slice 3, if you are talking only clear cases, the Incase Snap Case is at the top for me personally. Hope this helps!

[jam1e8]

Out of all the clear cases that you have reviewed which one would you recommend?

[charlesfisher757]

Really good review; well done and I've subscribed

[TekBeatTV]

@charlesfisher757 Awesome, appreciate the compliments and support! :)

[TekBeatTV]

@asherasani Hmm I have not used the newer Snap Cases so I cannot really comment on that, but for me personally I would go with the Snap Case over the HD. Hope this helps!

[Jk981206]

You really are a HUGE fan of minimalistic cases, don't you?

[TekBeatTV]

@Jk981206 Yes I am! I love them and if they come in soft touch or matte it's even better! ahha

[carlos0on0drums]

damn it. i got to choose between the smokey or clear from the free case program and i chose smokey. this is way better, regretting it. is this case easily accessible (find at local mall) or do i have to get it from the net???? nice vid

[TekBeatTV]

@carlos0on0drums Hmmm I used to see it in the Apple Store online but now it is no longer coming up :(. I would say visit your local Apple Store, if they do not have it your best bet is to order directly from Incase. Thanks for the compliment btw, I appreciate the support! :)

[portlandvision]

Do you do reviews for cases for the Kindle 3? Your recommendation for the iPhone 4 case was awesome

[TekBeatTV]

@portlandvision Haha thanks for the compliment. With regards to the kindle 3 not currently but I may do it in the future :).  Stay tuned and keep checking back :).

[klolomggmo]

can you dock it?

[TekBeatTV]

@klolomggmo Not in the standard iPhone 4 dock but you can in the universal dock.  Hope this helps!

[T3hReaper91]

Just got my iphone 4 last week and the bumper they supplied is really horrible and have alot of problems using the lock button. What is the best case or bumper in your opinion. Personally i do like bumpers as i dont wanna hide the phone too much but if u suggest a case then a case it will be.

[TekBeatTV]

@T3hReaper91 With regards to the best case it is really hard as it honestly depends on what kind of case you are looking for (lots of protection, thinnest, grip etc.). I personally love my Pinlo Slice 3, and for protection you cannot go wrong with the Otterbox Defender. There is also the in between cases, Incase Slider, Switcheasy Vulcan, to name a few. All of the ones I have mentioned I have reviewed so check out the videos to get a better look. Hope this helps!

[Prep4Life24]

How does it work with a screen protector?

[TekBeatTV]

@Prep4Life24 As long as the shield is thin, no issues. Hope this helps!

[fuzzy15946]

where did you buy it ? can it be in local stores like best buy or etc?

[TekBeatTV]

@fuzzy15946 I picked it up at the local Apple Store. Hope this helps!

[fuzzy15946]

@TekBeatTV thanks dude and awesome videos enjoy them

[TekBeatTV]

@fuzzy15946 No problem, glad you enjoy them, appreciate the continued support!

[nparmar84]

Hows the case been for you up to now?

[TekBeatTV]

@nparmar84 It has been great so far, the back is showing signs of scratching now but I put it through the ringer and I have had it awhile now :). Hope this helps!

[swan5753]

check out my app reviews and cases im gonna be making another one EVERY day (promise) for at least the next couple weeks so check em out!!!!!!!!

[guythatdrums2009]

Does this case scratch the iPhone in any way whatsoever?! Please respond.. Thanks!!

[TekBeatTV]

@guythatdrums2009 Nope, not at all :).

[guythatdrums2009]

@TekBeatTV Thanks man! Just ordered it lol :D

[TekBeatTV]

@guythatdrums2009 No problemo, glad I could help! :)

[halilbasic1]

just got this for 5 bucks on ebay

[TekBeatTV]

@halilbasic1 Nice!

[TekBeatTV]

@halilbasic1 Nice!

[jathiderbigman]

talking about iphones while we are getting closer to the end of the world

[TekBeatTV]

@jathiderbigman lol :)

[alex1231577]

although its has good quality that is very expensive for a case like that

[TekBeatTV]

@alex1231577 Yea Incase is one of the most expensive cases in the consumer market, but you pay for quality (well there are more expensive cases but not in the mainstream, they are usually the diamond encrusted ones etc. haha).

[adamjp9]

Will iPhone cases work with iPod Touch 4g?

[jackalarrr]

@adamjp9 They are a different shape

[TekBeatTV]

@adamjp9 Yea as jackalarrr stated, they will not work with a iPod Touch 4g as they are difference in size and shape.  Hope this helps!

[TheBattlecommander]

@adamjp9 Retard.

[adamjp9]

@TheBattlecommander How am I a retard, for not knowing if it fits? The iPod and iPhone are similar shapes.

[omgitshane]

cut your nails

[TekBeatTV]

@omgitshane will do! :)

[iSkateFast]

Hi would this case work with a screen protector? Also, what screen protectors do you recommend? I'm just looking for something that protects from scratches (obviously) and doesn't pick up prints. Thanks

[TekBeatTV]

@iSkateFast Yes it worked with my SGP Ultra Crystals :). I love the SGP Screenshields. Hope this helps!

[iSkateFast]

@TekBeatTV Thank you very much... I'm sold. I purchased the Incase Snap case smoke and the sgp ultra crystal screen shield. I was debating whether or not I wanted the ultra oleophobic but I usually have a microfiber cloth on me anyway. Thanks again.

[Dudeisbro]

what do you think the best clear snap on case for the iPhone 4 is? thanks

[TekBeatTV]

@Dudeisbro Hmm the best clear (completely not frosted) case I have used has been the Incase Snap Case. It just has a good all around feel :). Hope this helps!

[TwilightVampVideos]

Hey im from Toronto, and im wondering how long it would take to ship from the US, i ordered it today. Is this case worth getting, and does it prevent fingerprints and scratches? Also is it safe from fall and floor damages?

Thanks.

[TekBeatTV]

@TwilightVampVideos Hmmm depends on what level of service was used. If it was priority mail, probably 5-7 days international. It prevents scratches from going on your phone but the case will scuff up over time. It does not possess much shock protection but it does protect the phone itself from scratch etc. Hope this helps! :)

[Gamebreaker08]

I bet you paid $30 for that piece of plastic.....

[TekBeatTV]

@Gamebreaker08 Actually it was free from the Apple Free Case program but the normal retail price is around 30 bucks I believe.

[W0werine]

dude. your nails... WTF?

[TekBeatTV]

@W0werine Sorry about that, I make sure I get a pedicure everytime before vids now ;). Thanks for the comment.

[EpicDavidTV]

What is your favorite screen shield?

[TekBeatTV]

@EpicDavidTV I love my SGP Ultra Crystal Clear screenshields :). Hope this helps!

[dhp106]

Also what case do you have on your phone most of the time?

[TekBeatTV]

@dhp106 Incase Snap Case most of the time between reviews :).

[dhp106]

Hi, I've been considering getting a super clear case (slim one like this) Which would you reccomend? Consdiering procetion, flashback from camera and durability and fit. Nude? This one? Casemate barley there? I want clear because i love the design of the iphone itself.

[TekBeatTV]

@dhp106 Honestly I have a new case that I am reviewing that I love because it is SUPER thin, but before this one I loved my Incase Snap Case :). Do not get the NUDE, it is bad :(. Hope this helps!

[NAGTALON123]

Would this still work even with full body bodyguardz, zagg, or any other screen shields?

[TekBeatTV]

@NAGTALON123 The Incase Snap case works with a screen shield however it may not work with the full body shield (causes fit issues probably). Hope this helps!

[NAGTALON123]

@TekBeatTV When you say screen shield, do you mean the front, the back, or both?

[zjerre]

@NAGTALON123 i use the black case with a zaggshield (not the full) and it fits great :)

[TekBeatTV]

@zjerre Nice, yea a full body shield will cause fit issues. :)

[kevin19970806]

I have one but i have no idea how to get it off HELP PLEASE

[TekBeatTV]

@kevin19970806 Hey, best way to describe it is to lift off the top right with a finger tip and then once you get it over the metal band on the phone do the lower right and after that it should just slide right off. Hope this helps!

[Catwomanx1]

Will this fit with a GelaSkin? :-)

[TekBeatTV]

@Catwomanx1 Hey sorry to say but most likely unless the shield is REALLY thin, it will cause fit issues with snap type cases. Hope this helps!

[Catwomanx1]

@TekBeatTV Thanks! Maybe i'll buy the Switcheasy Nude! Awesome channel and videos btw! :D

[TekBeatTV]

@Catwomanx1 No problem, but I would definitely reconsider getting a NUDE, check out my review on it, not really a good case and it also will not fit a gelskins :(. Hope this helps!

[fuzionN]

i did hear that this scratches the back of the phone, can confirm after some fair use whether this is true or not? And would this install correctly with a invisible shield installed on the back?

[TekBeatTV]

@fuzionN Nope it does not (luckily). With regards to the back shield you might be able to get a thin shield on the back and avoid any fit issues but with most wet install shields on the back they are thicker and would most likely cause a fit issue. Hope this helps!

[kikiriki8889]

just ordered this thanks to your review! thanks alot!

[TekBeatTV]

@kikiriki8889 No problem, glad I could help! :)

[perwiratempur]

I got the black with a matt finish / feel. It is good although I got bored with it. Gonna keep using it until something better comes up

[TekBeatTV]

@perwiratempur Yea the Smoke version (black) is a great case, love the matte touch finish. If you are bored you should take a look at some of my other video reviews of cases (located on my channel) and see which ones may float your boat :). Hope this helps get you through boredom ;).

[DAYUMgirrl]

it doesnt scratch the phone does it?

[TekBeatTV]

@DAYUMgirrl Nope it does not :) rejoice!

[MrDebacle]

I like it but for $35 does it come with anything else? Screen protectors perhaps?

[TekBeatTV]

@MrDebacle It actually comes with a stand but that is it :(. Hope this helps!

[gusphraba]

In general it would be great to see how well the touch screen works with the case on, you know just play with the main screen for a few seconds maybe.

[TekBeatTV]

@gusphraba Completely understand but in general the cases (especially snap on types) will not interfere with the touchscreen itself as there is no cover that goes on the front. Hope this helps!

[MrTanker10a]

It's a great case. I agree with reviewer.

The only thing that I personally do not like about it is the lack of protection for the top and bottom of the device. I have use INCASE SLIDER on my 3GS and it has the iPhone scratch-free.

I am going to switch to the new iPhone4 INCASE SLIDER models now that they are available. I hope that INCASE will be willing to exchange my SNAP CASE for their slider with or without a price differential...

I like the Slider because of the docking feature as well.

[TekBeatTV]

@MrTanker10a Hmmm you can try but swapping probably will not work if you are dealing directly with Incase, unless you are talking about a store purchase. Good luck! :)

[wilwiredtv]

I love this case! I just reviewed the black frost version on my channel as well... its currently my goto case =) I need a nice leather pouch for it though...

[TekBeatTV]

@wilwiredtv Nice! Congratz on the new case and the review :). Leather pouch eh? Have you seen the Sena or the SGP pouches? Thanks for the comment!

[wilwiredtv]

@TekBeatTV Tried the Sena....just a tad to tight, havent tried an SGP pouch yet. Currently rocking a Waterfield Suede pouch that fits fine... Thx for the suggestion!

[TekBeatTV]

@wilwiredtv Ahhh ic, no problem glad I could help :). I'll take a look at the Waterfield one, have not heard of that :). Thank you for the suggestion as well haha!

[princealexrico10]

i just hope that they have incase products here in the philippines.. this is the perfect case for my iphone...

[TekBeatTV]

@princealexrico10 Hopefully! It's a great case :). Thanks for the comment!

[Kliffy77]

Thanks a lot...

[TekBeatTV]

@Kliffy77 No problem, glad I could help! :)

[weinopolice]

this would be perfect if it weren't for that HUGE incase logo

[TekBeatTV]

@weinopolice Haha, yea I do not mind it as much but I can understand some may not like having a clean case have a logo on it ;).

[zonnub]

I really like the smoke version. The whole phone+case feels light and sleek. Only flaw is that, the On/Off button isnt really covered. Other than that, its great! Much better than the griffin reveal etch which i used initially.

[TekBeatTV]

@zonnub Yea most snap on type cases do leave the top and bottom exposed just how many of the design are. But for me I love the lightweight nature of the case and with the smoke version the matte feel. Great added grip and super resistant to fingerprints :).

[berjc61]

Great review, but is this case a fingerprint magnet? And will it have a watermark on the back of the phone?

[TekBeatTV]

@berjc61 It has not really been a fingerprint magnet for me, however you can leave some fingerprints on it. It has not watermarked for me at all. Hope this helps!

[berjc61]

@TekBeatTV Thanks :)

[TekBeatTV]

@berjc61 No problem! :)

[TekBeatTV]

@manningdude Thanks! :)

[Renkinjutshushi]

Yo I actually have a question because I just bought this case and was considering returning it. As I'm sure you've noticed, it doesn't cover the top or bottom. I'm really afraid that this is going to lead to scratches and things like that for the phone and I don't want that to happen obviously. Do you think I should switch it for a more protective case? Or is this enough protection. Subscribing now

[TekBeatTV]

@Renkinjutshushi Personally I use the Snap Case quite often so I believe it is good enough protection but if you really prioritize protection I would move to a Silicon Case or hard slider type case. Since it is a lightweight minimal bulk adding case, you can expect the Snap Case to provide as much protection as for instance a Incase Slider Case. Hope this helps! :)

[Renkinjutshushi]

@TekBeatTV Thanks a lot, I get surprised every time you reply to a question haha. I guess I'll keep it I'm just really afraid of any part of the iPhone getting scratched, you never had any scratches on the top or bottom? Would you recommend this case over all of the cases of the Case Program?

[TekBeatTV]

@Renkinjutshushi Haha. I have never gotten a scratch on the bottom of my phone or the top of my phone. If you are really worried about scratched on the top and bottom the phone I would get a PixelSkin HD or the Speck Fitted. They provide more protection than the snap case but also add more bulk. Hope this helps! (Personally I would choose the Incase Snap Case Smoke if the program was still offered)

[okaywenhao]

how to remove this case?



[TekBeatTV]

@okaywenhao Hard to explain over a comment but essentially I use my finger to pry the upper right corner off a bit then move to the lower left corner and pry it off a bit (make sure it is no longer catching on the chrome band of the iPhone 4) and it should just pop right off. Hope this helps!

[GOODF311A]

hey I ran into a problem with it. I put on an invisible shield on it, the maximum coverage pack and apparently that conflicts with this case... it doesn't fit... would you have any suggestions for me ? or if worst comes to worst can you give me you opinion on what other case i should possibly get? thanks...

[TekBeatTV]

@GOODF311A My suggestion is to use just a screenshield in conjunction with the Snap Case (I use the SGP Ultra Clears). If you absolutely want to use a full body wet shield for the iPhone 4, the only way you will be able to get the fit that you want is to go with a silicon case (similar to a Switcheasy Colors etc.). Hope this helps!

[GOODF311A]

@TekBeatTV thanks, and wow you really do reply to questions....subscribin'!

[TekBeatTV]

@GOODF311A Yes I do I made that promise long ago when other youtubers never responded to my questions, I will not let my subscribers and viewers experience that frustration.

[tbroughton1]

I recently started using the Incase Snapcase with my phone which I got through the free case program. I originally had the Speck case but it always made my Invisashield screen protector bubble in the front. It recently cracked on the side oddly enough so I started using my free Incase Snapcase and it fits beautifully and the screen protector bubbling issue has disappeared.

[TekBeatTV]

@tbroughton1 Congratz, yea this case is amazing. It is one of my favorites :). Thanks for the comment (and hopefully you thumbed up ;))

[Rishix01]

Mine unfortunately has a couple of small scratches after a couple of days already. Good review by the way mate.

[TekBeatTV]

@Rishix01 Thanks! Sorry about that, might want to try out the Smoke version, much more resistant to scratches. :)

[wantapgt]

I have this case in smoke. It's great. High quality matte finish gives a great surface to grip onto. Also, it fits so snug, you won't have to worry about scratching the back of the phone. It is very unobtrusive. By far the best sleek iPhone 4 case on the market. Thanks apple for the free one!

[TekBeatTV]

@wantapgt Yea I love mine as well :).  Congratz on the case! :)

[thenoobersaur]

AND i forgot (again),

im actually choosing between: 1) incase snap case, 2) incipio feather, 3) incipio edge AND 4)incipio NGP.

im choosing a thin case because a candyshell couldn't protect the phone from shattering if i drop it upfront anyways.

[thenoobersaur]

i currently have a ip4 with invisible shields all around my phone. I initially planned to get a candyshell case, but then i thought it might be too bulky. The reason i'm getting a case is because i'm scared of shattering the back glass on the iphone and i think a really thin case will do enough protection for a drop of 3-4ft.

so now im down to choosing: incase snap case, incipio feather, incipio edge.

which one should i use?or should i just stick with a candyshell?Thanks!

[thenoobersaur]

AND, i don't want to bubble up my screen protector. any help would be awesome
