Trouble removing Incase Slider case for iPhone 3G

Can anyone provide me with some instructions for removing my iPhone from my recently purchased incase slider case? I just put the case on to make sure I liked the way it fit and now I can't get it to come off! I have tried pulling and tugging but I am worried about damaging the phone. I had already applied one of the clear, adhesive screen covers, which might be the reason that the case is so snug... Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!

I have the same incase. There are no instructions it is very difficult to get it out. I would not recommend them. I am looking for a new one.

Do you mean the Zagg invisible shield that you have applied on the back? Or just a regular static screen protector. Never combine invisible shield with INCASE slider case. If your back has nothing, it's easy!

Use two thumbs gently press on the screen and push your iPhone out. Also try to insert the stereo cable as a thing to push your iPhone out. Once you have done it couple times, your phone should able to slide out a lot more easier than the first time. Make sure you don't do that often as any dust particles might be in between the case and the phone and scratch your iPhone 3GS' back as you slide it.

Have fun sliding your iPhone 3GS out HAHA.

i have that case and i happen to think its the best case out there for the iphone its thin and looks great and protects your phone. i agree its snug on the phone but thats what you want. it does its job.

amen! do you want a case that easily slips on and off or moves around while the phone is sitting inside? I have the Incase Slider aswell for my 3GS and had no problem removing it after a test fit. Best case by far! i love the feel of the black matte, very thin hard shell and does what its supposed to do!

I think it is the best case out there in terms of fit, look and feel.

However my roommate had the same experience you had. It took us awhile to get it off and once we did I told her to return it and swap it out. She did and now hers fits just like mine. Snug but it will come off.

So work it off and swap it out and I think you'll be very happy.

Had a Slider on my Touch. Hard to remove, especially under pressure when the Genius asks you to take it off so he can look at your device (hint: remove case before your Genius Bar appt.).

I am using a CapsuleRebel on my Phone but it does't have that perfect fit like the Slider did on the Touch (but it looks cool). I have an annoying bubble in the screen shield too. I'm thinking about going to the Slider with no screen shield.

I had that case for my 3G and used it on the first day of the 3GS and I ended up scratching the back of both phones. It isn't obvious but given cases are meant to protect I have moved to The Tuffwrap case.

I did figure out the trick to get your iPhone slide out, go over my posting above.

I agree, best out there.

just take the bottom off first then hold the phone and slide it off...

you sure you put is on correctly? I put mine on upside down once...

I like the case as well, but I had a **** of a time getting the screen protector to fit with the case without it bubbling. I ended up having to trim the screen protector. PITA!!!!

yes, I know what you mean, it has to be perfectly placed with the tolerance of a machined airport part to get it to not bubble when the case goes on...lol
