Ok, Magpul, when are they comin' out?!

Quoted: Stick to what you make the best- Gun parts. My .02 I dunno, the orange iPhone 4 case I've been using is pretty nice. Not sure what my iPhone 5 will live in after I get it - choosing a case is tough. Maybe Magpul should make a stock with an iPhone compartment on the side

I'm in the same boat as you man.....I am so use to my Orange Magpul case for my iPhone 4 that I don't want anything else but the same thing for my iPhone 5

Mahout does not comment on products that may or may not be in production.
I would wager one's coming. |

I've had probably 5-6 or the MagPul cases for various 4's/4Ss. I've noticed they "sweat" goo all over the back of the phone. And, of course, they start to spread around the top left corner. Hopefully on the 5 case, they can use a slightly more rigid rubber and slightly thinner design. This phone's a LOT lighter and needs slightly less protection if dropped IMO.

best phone case I've ever owned, hands down. just tacky enough, just slick enough, just thin enough(thanks to brilliantly clipping to the side and not the screen) to be comfortable, just thick enough to be protective. and at $10, I'd prolly buy two.
Magpul, please follow up with iphone 5 case. |
|
We've probably bought 6 or 8 Magpul Iphone cases. I love mine. I really hope they bring out a case for the iphone 5 but understand if they don't make any statements as to when.

i have had great luck with the iphone 4 exec field case and hope to see an iphone 5 case. i shot it to make a hole so the apple logo would show through the case but it looked bad so i cut a circle with an exacto knife and it looks nice..
if anyone form magpul is reading: maybe cut out the case where the chrome apple logo is so a shiny magpul logo appears? just sayin... |
|
I ordered a Griffin Survivor Case for my iPhone 5, same brand and model I have on my iPad2. Very satisfied with it. It's not waterproof but is " Military " tested and seems to be able to take some punishment.

Never looked at the magpul iPhone case as a waterproof or even water resistant case but I suppose I could just cut the new one too, If they make it. |

screw apple need some android cases go go Droid Bionic magpul case
|
|
Problem with that is there is a new Droid phone coming out every few months.

WAY too many android devices to cater too. To me the phone case thing seems like more of a small side thing anyway. I don't think Magpul is really looking to be competitive in the phone case market. For those looking for a good case for androids though check out otterbox. I love mine. They are a little pricey but with a good screen protector and an otterbox the phone is REALLY well protected. |

ditto. also want magpul iphone5 case.
i love the orange case that is on my 4. |
|
Our Iphone 5s came in today and my wife really wants a Magpul case for hers. She has one on her Iphone 4s (work phone) and loves it.
|
|
+1 on the IP5 case!!!
I'm running a Speck case while I wait. From the looks of the Speck it probably offers as much protection as the previous Magpul cases but the case is super smooth and provides almost no grip. I was contemplating stippling it but I'll just wait for the Magpul case. |
|
Also loved the MagPul on the 4
had to pay $38 for a speck candyshell which is a good cover but I like the texture of the MagPul better |
|
My iPhone 5 is currently nekkid......
Tagging for availability (sooner rather than later we hope) |

Lifeproof's cases are due out in a few weeks. Far superior. Quite thin. Waterproof and crush proof. People have accidentally driven over the phones in the Lifeproof cases and they still work.

Get the Otterbox Defender Meh...too bulky. Kinda defeats one of the main purposes of the 5...slimmer, lighter than previous Iphones... |

I agree that Magpul needs cases for Android phones too BUT as it was pointed out, they come out with a new phone every few weeks.
I think the key to making cases for the Android devices would be for Official Google Nexus phones like the upcoming Nexus 4. No way they could do cases for even all the other popular phones. I think Magpul should consider cases for the Nexus 4 and the two tablets, the Nexus 7 and 10. These are the official Google devices. |

I went to BestBuy today to find a case for my iPhone5. I must have looked at 2 dozen cases - not a single one was nearly as good as the MagPul one for my iPhone4. My fingers are crossed waiting for MagPul to release one - maybe at SHOT?
|
|
All I ask is that you at least announce a case at SHOT. I am getting my iphone5 in February, and would like to know if I can hold out for a Magpul case, or drop double the money on an otter box.

Its been 2 months and my iphone is still naked.
No matter how hard I try, the case for my 4 wont fit.

Richard, Drake, Nick...we need a iPhone5 Case!!!
Otherwise I can't buy it ! Cheers, Gunner |

Just so everyone knows, I emailed Magpul about a month ago regarding this and this is the email they sent me back:
Thank you for contacting us. It is definitely something we are going to do but we just got the dimensions for the case last week so we are just now getting started in the whole process. Keep an eye on our website for more info.

Sweet. Now, we just need those GI MOE Men, and us hopeless fanboys will be momentarily happy.
|

the thing is that the Magpul iPhone cases simply offer the most bang for the buck. They've saved my 4 a few times and they aren't lint magnets. I have an Otterbox commuter on my 5 right now and I don't hate it, but man, the thing NEEDS some love from Magpul.

I got an Otterbox Defender, but I only use it for camping. I can't bring myself to put a bulky case on my iPhone 5...

I kind of liked the Otterbox, but I'll never purchase another case through them again. My car has a 30 pin connector, which I got the short adapter from Apple. The hole on the bottom of the Defender looks like it was made for it, but when it is attached, the plastic actually bulges out. Also, the belt clip began to rip the rubber bumper. So, I emailed them about it, being it seems that the case might be defective. I don't know how old the guy was that answered me, but I was under the impression that he was 12... from the attitude. From someone that bought multiple iPhone 4 cases from them, and pre-ordered the iPhone 5 case, I was shocked by the response I received. When I could get the LifeProof case, I ordered it. Also picked up the wired adapter to work with the LifeProof case (would not work at all with the other adapter) and another USB cord to make a car charger (with a cigarette adapter). I'm extremely happy with the LifeProof case, even though a belt clip is something I really need with a case. It should be released early 2013. |
