It did survive a trip stuck to the roof of my rental car, as well as a tumble down a flight of wooden stairs. Highly recommended.

Not very happy at all. My $400 phone looks like its 3 years old. Thanks for the info on the replacement though. I guess I'll use it until it stretches too, maybe I can get more than 2 months out of it... My incase rubber cover totally scratched up my phone as well! Not very happy at all.

Their customer service was very helpful and quick to rectify the problem... props to Incase.

It started to stretch almost immediately, and within 3-4 weeks was worthless. Unfortunately, I left it on the phone while it was stretching, and now my brand new iPhone is severly scratched on the sides and back. Incase has not responded to a polite complaint I submitted on their website. If "bad rubber" is indeed the culprit, I guess I'll try for a replacement. But that won't fix my suddenly ugly phone. The Incase package does recommend periodic cleaning to get dust and particles out, but the catch is that the very act of removing the case accelerates the stretching process. Very disappointed.

Neoprene is more like a soft, smooth material. Just wanted to let you know.. Like #1 said, but instead, the Incase cover is rubber, not neoprene. Neoprene is more like a soft, smooth material.

I had the same problem -- it stretched more and more. I also noticed dirt getting inbetween the back of the case and my iPhone. Then I decided to try my iPhone without a case for a week, and decided I loved it way more without a case. It was so much easier to slip in and out of the pocket, and unlike many plastic phones, the iPhone didn't scratch easily. I bought the same case (in red) when I bought my iPhone.

But I had the opposite problem from yours--I got a pack of Gelz and after putting them on for the first time they all stretched and looked awful. The bottom part covering the menu button is all distended. I love my InCase, though (guess I didn't get one from the bad batch). The Gelz case is silicone, not neoprene.
