This is a great case. It's protective. It doesn't add bulk. And its smooth plastic rather than rubber so it doesn't pull out your pocket liner ever time you grab the phone. And it won't stretch like many rubber cases.

The only issue is that its not a PERFECT fit. Its very, very close, but there is a tiny bit of jiggle room. I would love if it snapped together a bit tighter, but, like the headline says, its probably the best out there.

This is one of 3 iPhone cases I've owned and this one was was just OK...

Pros:
- Reasonable protection
- Can be docked (with universal docking station
- Looks better than the Speck IPH-BLK-TS ToughSkin iPhone Case (Black) (my 2nd case) and slips into your pocket

Cons:
- The feel of this case makes it feel like you're holding a big hunk o' plastic
- The 100% wrap-around detracts from the iPhone sleekness (can't see much chrome
- The slick plastic doesn't provide enough grip

Bottom Line: Go for the Apple iPhone Soft Polycarbonate Slim fit Case -Black (Cozip Brand) Made in Korea... It rocks, hand down.

I bought this case 3 months ago along with a protective screen film and have counted my lucky stars more than once when this case saved my brand new 3G phone, my money and inconvenience.

Twice I have left my phone on the roof of my car while looking for car keys and twice it's gone flying off, bouncing across the road like a stone skimming a pond. My phone is absolutely fine. Sure, there are scratches on the case, but it's very hard and can handle it. Also, due to the casing leaving approximately a 1mm 'lip' around the screen, it protected the screen from getting scratched also.

I bought this case to PROTECT my phone and it does so way beyond normal use! (obviously, I don't recommend you leave it on your cars roof!)


PROS

*Extremely durable
*Available in black & white. I like the black on a black phone, not very noticable.
*It's lightweight
*I can still charge it without taking the case off, even in both my iHome 'Out Loud' [...]
*Easy to remove & no hinges like other hard cases to snag on clothing etc.
*Even under extreme duress, the cover can't 'pop' off or open because of its snug slip-on design.

CONS

It may leave a small scratch along the back of your phone as noted by other owners. However, you CAN'T see it when the case is on and for obvious reasons why would you ever take it off? I knew this was a possibility because I read the reviews before purchasing, but I couldn't care less given that it does a fantastic job of keeping my phone safe!

BTW My phone goes with me everywhere, hiking, school, work, home. It's fallen out of shirt and jacket pockets, dropped by my 3 year old watching 'Thomas the Tank Engine' on it and paired with an adhesive screen protector you won't be disappointed.

One more note... 2 friends have the soft rubbery cases available out there and both their phone have been damaged visably within the first month of use.

Before I even got my iPhone, I checked out the major Apple sites (including TUAW) to see what choices of cases were available.

I actually was about to put my money on some other plastic hardcase but decided that it was pretty expensive if I were to even factor in the S&H cost.

So far, I've been using the Agent18 Eco for a couple of weeks and it's been holding up pretty well. Comes with a dock connector adapter if you have iPod docking speakers or even the universal dock.

The only thing I didn't really like about this Agent18 Eco case was that it didn't come with a removable holster with a belt clip. And that the case *might* be a little bit slippery if you have sweaty palms.

Great case, like it a lot..and looks better than others but it's not a perfect fit...reason why scratches the chrome on the phone...!

I've had several cases so far. This has been the best. This easily ports with the iphone charger if you slide off te bottom. It's much better than the silicone and rubber one's that i've used, since those get stuck in your pocket.

Negative: Seems to seperate into 2 halves a little too easily.


Overall Really effective and usefull

nice case, only downfall is that you wont be able to dock you iPhone with the case anymore =(
thinking about switching to the iSkin by Revo, but I'll hold for some time...

it didn't completely scratch the chrome trim around the iPhone!
I have both the clear and black ecoshields and the clear looks great. It protects your iPhone and you can still see that it's an iPhone. However, after a week of use I noticed that the chrome trim is all scratched up. I guess from dust and whatnot getting in there and grinding between the case and chrome. So my advise, do not buy this case!

good quality and nice fit but makes it to bulky but the worst part is it will scratch with dust that gets in it

This case is just wonderful, it has been on my original iPhone for its entire young life so far. I think it protects the phone wonderfully, I have dropped the phone a couple times (nothing too bad) and the case withstands all bumps and bruises while keeping the phone completely intact. Easy to take on and off, but you never need to take it off, as you can easily access all the phone's buttons.
