1.0 out of 5 stars Plastic pieces wont stay together long, July 1, 2007

I bought this case on the day I bought the iPhone hoping it would help protect it. Immediately upon placing the iPhone in the back part of the case and then putting the front cover on I realized this thing is not going to stay snapped in place long. I was right. I did simple things like placing it in my pocket, taking it out, placing on desk etc. The plastic pieces unsnap readily, so you will find that you will spend time snapping it back together. It comes with a belt clip...NO WAY would I trust this thing to stay together while walking. The chances are too great that my $600 phone would pop out. CONCLUSION: Buy a better/other case if you intend on clipping it on a belt. The only thing I can see this case is good for is propping it up on your desk like a photo album. For $25, its not worth it. I took mine back.

4.0 out of 5 stars iPhone case seems to work just fine, July 1, 2007

Purchased at an AT&T store on Friday along with my iPhone. At first it didn't seem like it fit right either (corners popped out of place) but then I was careful to snap in each of the 4 corners, then around the middle of both sides. Those last 2 connect with a solid and reassuring 'snap' and it's a tight fit. (I hear 5 distinct clicks during this process.) I definitely don't worry about the iPhone coming loose...if anything it's more difficult to get out of the case.

Pros: the iPhone by itself is actually a bit slippery sometimes. This case makes it a little easier to handle. It's not too bulky or heavy either. It's a simple, inexpensive case that seems to work fine and doesn't take too much away (hide it or make it hideous like a couple other cases do) from the phone itself.

Cons: The iPhone feels great in your hand (even if a bit slippery) and what you gain in 'additional handling ability' with this case, you lose in iPhone feel. The belt clip was a little much--I removed that all together. Also: you probably don't even need this case! The stress tests of the iPhone show it's difficult to scratch the screen (even intentionally) and handles drops onto carpet or pavement just fine.

Update: I stopped using this case a few days after purchasing it. I use the iPhone all by itself with no case, and it's usually in my pocket. The phone has no screen scratches (in fact, my pocket seems to polish and clean the screen just fine, I never use the cloth and it looks perfect) the chrome trim around the edge has a few very small/fine scratches, and the back of the phone is getting dirty.

The front lid can come loose very easy. The phone can fall just from walking around. this is a very bad product, shame on you Belkin!
