[...] doesn’t seem to damage the iPhone (contrary to the the Griffin Elan Form as reported here, there, on that forum and at the US Apple [...]

Thanks for your comments John. The exact same thing happened to me. As soon as I put on the screen protector I hated the “spots” on the screen. It totally ruined the iPhone experience. Luckily I was just outside the store (Best Buy) when this was discovered, explained, and returned it no problem.

Otherwise I really like the Griffin case. Did the “stick-on” screen protector work for you? Does it side easily under the nuform back? Thx.

My girlfriend has the wave case. She says the front piece is really uncomfortable when you talk on the phone. She just uses the back piece, and because of its form fitting, stays on firmly. If you buy the wave case, also get a front IS.

I have the nuform and it SUCKS big time. Like iPhone Fan mentioned, it WILL scratch the back of your iPhone (it did to mine), even though I try to not remove it and ALWAYS wipe it down thoroughly before re-inserting.

Also, the polycarbonate screen protector is utter garbage. First off, if the slightest bit if moisture gets underneith, it forms these oil-like spots where the screen sticks to the display. And is scratches VERY easily.

I called Griffin and they are sending me a new “stick-on” screen protector, but I decided I’m going to scrap the nu form all together as soon as I get my Best Skins Ever case.

Any tips on how to get the elan form to fit properly over the invisible shield? I took the elan form off to put the invisible shield on and now it doesn’t quite fit back on. I really quite like it and would like to have it work a bit better. Thanks.

I’ve tried the Wave Case before, which turned out to be real bad. It started my iPhone 3G a bit. And I managed to refund it. Next, I bought the Nu Form Case and it was extremely hard to take off and the bottom had discoloration after leaving the case for one day without much use. (I never took it out before too until the next next day, which I tried to refund it to the Rogers store) Unfortunately, the stupid worker at the chinese store wouldn’t let me refund it and said, “No one will buy it if you refund it because of the bottom having discoloration.” That sentence basically just pissed me off. I don’t think I will ever be buying any of Griffin’s products ever again. Also, based on google searches, I’m not the only one having the discoloration problem and others have said the case has cracked after only a couple days of use. I rather pay double the price for something made by another company. (Like SwitchEasy.)

By the way, the case I won from the Colors Contest is really really good. Best silicone and best case I’ve ever used in my life. Thanks again X1Zero.
