    Has anybody else experience problems with them ??

    Mine seems to have stretched out and now the phone sits lose by about 1/16, you can shake it while in the case. I like the case because it protects it pretty good and its slim but I hate it shaking in my pants.

    Is this a known problem or I have a defective one? I want to order another one but not sure if it will do the same

    Thanks in advance

    I carried my iPhone 3 in a Magpul case and never had any issues except that it seemed like there was moisture every time I removed the case. I don't know if it was the case or the phone sweating.

    When I got my iPhone 4, I immediately got a Magpul case for it but it never did seem to fit very well, like the 3 did. I eventually ditched it. Looking at a Lifeproof now.

    Two iphone 4 magpul cases in our family. Both of them fit very well. It's obvious they aren't that great for impact protection, but that's not what we were looking for when we bought them.

    Mine fits fine but has the oily residue as mentioned above. Other people I know have the same problem. Not sure what's causing it.

    I bought 3 of them for our iPhones, all 3 stretched out just like yours and proved to be a waste of money.
    Looks like magpul should pull out of the cell phone case market and leave it to the professionals.

    How long did it take to do that? I've been using mine for maybe 3 months and love it.

    Mine started stretching within days, I thought it was my fault for leaving it inside my truck one day while at work (high tenp) but in not the only one with this issue.

    If I tilt the top down I can early see light on top between the case and the phone, they needed to make the cases smaller for sure

    my first one stretched out from taking the phone in and out of it. it never fell out and protected the phone when i dropped it even when loose. i replaced it but did not take this one in and out as much. so far no issues.

    I wonder if it has to do with the model ???? Apparently there is one with a flat back and one with ridges like the original 3g version. Mine is the flat back 4S version in FDE.
