Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Simple, two-piece construction ensures ample protection of your iPhone, while still allowing access to the touch screen, microphone, and connectors. This tough yet environmentally friendly case shields your investment against dust, dings, and drops.

The Agent18 company spans back many generations of music device protection, starting with its founder, Wilhelm von Agent, maker of the first glass harp cover back in 1579. More than 300 years later, the family business was passed onto Vesputi Virginina-Agent, an Italian cousin and inventor of the first wooden phonograph cover (Il Protectoro del Fonopodo) back in 1888. He took the business with him to America, where his great grandson eventually created the aluminum record player cover in 1957. As technology flew forward, so did the Agent family's music protection... with the Rubber Jukebox Glove, the Cover-man for Walkmen, and the neon Ka-boom Box Plastic Dome. Now, 18 of the descendents of Wilhelm von Agent live and work at Agent18. Headquarters are located in the attic of the Griffith Park Observatory in Los Angeles, Calif., where Agent18 creates breakthrough protection for music devices and other electronics accessories for the world.

Okay, the real truth is that Agent18 is just a bunch of nerdy engineers that spend a lot of time with their iPods, cameras, PSPs, and computers, and protecting those gadgets is important to them. All of Agent18 products are designed in sunny Southern California, or on a plane, or sometime when one of the Agent18 team members is out running in the park! Agent18’s goal is to design products that its employees would use for products that they love. They hope you will like the products as well. Welcome to Agent protection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best, but not flawless, November 15, 2007

By	Jordan Bonitatis (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just OK, there are better, February 14, 2008

By	Mitch Cumstein (NorCal) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the slimmest protective cases for the iPhone, November 10, 2007

By	Andre (Singapore) - See all my reviews

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.
