How's the cover feel? Does it feel more like a PMAG or rubbery?

Do you think it has a good chance of getting snagged up in jeans?

Here's a quickie review/first impressions...

For a $10 retail these things will rock! They're not quite an Otterbox but they are impressively rugged and rigid. They seem to be of similar material of the original textured XT panels...very stiff but yet still somewhat plyable. Once the iPhone is inserted the case becomes rock solid and feels pretty much like a Pmag. It doesn't appear that these will stretch out like so many of the rubber cases do. The Field Case hugs the iPhone snug and maintains a really nice low profile. I've been carrying it since Wednesday in various 5.11, Woolrich, & Eotac pockets...no snagging at all for me due to the harder than rubber material.

Very nice product. If MagPul can make some money off the iPhone industry, more power to them! Maybe profits will go into more neat projects!

Hmm, so who is going to be the first to stipple their iPhone case?

Unfortunately, special order won't come with a $10.00 price tag. I guess it would be cheaper than transitioning to an iphone :mad:

Well, if nobody is stepping up, I guess I'll drop the $10 (remember, to a college kid, this is a big deal).

How are you going to complain about dropping $10 bucks because you're poor, yet you have an iPhone?

Cant wait to get one in black, even though the FG looks good too. Has anybody felt the texture? Do the ribs snag when you are putting it in your pocket?

When will these be available to the common man ?

I think even Women would buy this if it were available in Pink. They drop their phone all the time.[bash]

Midway has them on their site denoted as......coming soon.


I opted not to wait and went with the more expensive, but decidedly durable Otterbox Defender.

Has anyone seen these orderable anywhere? I'm having no luck tracking one down and they were supposed to be released a couple of months ago. I hope they didn't get scrapped.

There are a few web pages that are listing them, but none have received any shipments. Magpul has not shipped any to dealers or distributors yet.

No, and I think the odds against seeing these released to the market are increasing with time.

From the Magpul web site on 13 April 2010:



iPhone Case Release Delayed

As some of you know, Magpul announced the iPhone Field Case last January at the 2010 SHOT Show, with a product release scheduled for late February. Unfortunately, the current Field Case fit and finish are not representative of the quality and value that customers have come to expect from Magpul equipment. As a result, Magpul has chosen to delay its release in order to address these issues.
Ever since the company was founded in 1999, speed and efficiency in product development have been top priorities, but they will always remain secondary to the quality and performance for which Magpul is known. Delays such as these are understandably frustrating, but are sometimes necessary to avoid betraying the brand, and more importantly, the customers’ trust in Magpul products. More information and release dates will be posted as they become available.

Add to this the fact that the iPhone 4G has just been announced, and it just seems that the incentive to put the 3G cases into production is pretty much depleted. Magpul may surprise us yet, but I've long since given up on the idea that I'll be seeing a 3G case anytime soon.

What would be really cool is if Magpul called up Otterbox and tried to market their logo/name/colors as options to be sold or distributed--the Otterbox Defender is a beast and I have dropped my iPhone a couple times on the ground with no damage whatsoever. I would kill for an Otterbox Defender in any of the Magpul colors. This way would put the production specs to support different models on another company who has expertise and capacity to produce in that market.

Not that I lay claim to the inner workings of Magpul, but if I were a betting man, I would lay good money, or good beer on seeing them...... again, just a guess on my part.

I can certainly see that, but was thinking that it would be more likely that we would be seeing new iPhone 4 versions, rather than the old 3Gs prototypes.

Just got the email that the field case is now available for iPhone 3 and the executive field case is available for the iPhone 4.

Yes, production models are now shipping.

It's not clear whether or not the Magpul case will work with the upcoming Verizon version of the iPhone 4 due to the different location of the ring/silent switch and different antenna location.
