I'll have to agree with the other reviewers. This case looks very slick and feels great when handling your iphone. I had a similar metallic looking case from another company but this brand has a more quality feel and fit to it and is half the price. If your into the metallic look don't hesitate pick this case up!

Just bought a new iPhone 3GS and bought the Case-Mate barely there Silver case. It looked great and slipped on very easy. The only problem was I had very little reception with it on. I thought I had a bad phone. My wifes iPhone had 5 bars and 3G logo while I had one bar & E logo with the phones side by side. I even call Apple thinking there was a problem with my phone. I finally removed the back cover and got all bars & 3G.

I am a bit overprotective of my new iPhone so I put this shell and a plastic screen protector on it before putting it in another leather case (I use one by Case Logic). I love that the case is slim enough to fit into the leather case, and the metallic look fits nicely with the elegant iphone design. So far it seems to provide adequate protection, but I am not sure how it would do if I did not put it in my leather one. I have a feeling it would scratch pretty easily since I throw it into my purse with my car keys and other junk. Also, the coating is a little slick so if you have sweaty palms or dislike fingerprints on the case it might not be the one for you. My main concern is that the case offers little protection over the chrome bevel around the phone face since it only comes up right to the silver edge. Overall, I still think it is a pretty nice case for the low price. If you get this case, I also recommend using a leather wallet for extra protection

I received this today so my review is based purely on initial impressions, which are very positive. Compared to the iFrogz and other cases I have tried, this sleek, attractive case best preserves the slim, stylish feel of the iPhone. While it is slicker and less sturdy than the iFrogz case it has replaced, it feels just right to me. I am very pleased so far.

The best thing about the case is that it still keeps the feel and look of the iPhone while being the "sacrificial" layer to protect against daily use.

First case that I've used that actually keeps my iPhone feel. It can still easily slip in and out of my pocket and the color and reflection make it keep its style.

Very sturdy case. I spent some time trying to find a good case for iphone and finally encountered this one. It is not too heavy but it is pretty secure. I use Sportwrap for Iphone/ipod Touch Black and I dont have to remove this case to insert my iphone into the sportwrap. Happy that my iphone is well protected from scratches, dust and fall without compromising on the appearance.

looks cool, fits perfectly. a little less metal looking than i thought it would be, but i still love it!

I agree with the other reviews. This one is great in looking and feeling great. I get compliments on it all the time even at the apple store!

Protects the phone well. I've accidentally kicked my phone around a few times, and between the case and screen protector there is not a mark on it. It looks good too, fitting nicely with the aesthetic design of the phone. Also, at least for me, the phone is easier to hold with the case, which is slightly thicker and has more rounded edges than the phone.
