Great case: light, "grippy", protects, and looks good! They're not too bulky and I can still fit my phone in my pocket. I bought 4 of these (in different colors) for my family, used on iPhone 3GS. They are well built, fit perfectly, and provide good-looking protection. They're not "sticky" like the silicone rubber cases, so it's easy to wipe off dust and lint, but they still have some grip due to the rubber-like coating. I (male) use the black. The blue and purple versions are nice for my daughters, but not very "manly". The red is used by my wife; the color would probably be okay for a guy. These type cases are very expensive at local stores. This Amazon deal got our family good cases at a great price!

I've had this iPhone cover for about a week. It is very durable, has a good grip but still easily slides into/out of the pocket of my purse, and it's good looking. It's form fitting - no gaps like other covers I've seen. Good cover.

This is simply the best Iphone case I've seen out there. It fits perfectly, is form-fitting, and there is a line of felt on the inside to protect the phone itself from scratches. Awesome!

We have owned three of these cases - two of them with the "soft" (matte) finish, and the other with the "metallic" (glossy) finish. If you are trying to decide between the two:
- Metallic: A glossy and slick finish. Basically the same finish that is on the actual iPhone itself. Can and will show fingerprints, and can be somewhat slippery. Finish will not rub off.
- Soft: A smooth matte finish. Almost feels like a very thin velvet finish. Great to the touch. Does not show fingerprints. However, this finish can rub off over time. If you have sweaty hands, it will accelerate this. We had to throw one of these away because the look became quite bad over time. I think that color was more white or pearl, and do not see this listed anymore. The pictures I see of darker colors in this finish suggest the discoloration will not be quite as significant of a problem.

For me, I still choose the soft touch, even though it is not quite as durable overall, as my hands tend to not get sweaty. If eating food (like pizza especially), the oils from the food can easily transfer from your hands to the matte finish. Just wipe the matte case down before it has sweat or oil on it for extended periods, and the finish should have a good life. But for someone with more sweaty hands (you know who you are), I would stick with one of the metallic finishes.

i purchased this case for myself and my husband for our new 3G iphones. when looking for a case i researched all the product reviews and this one seemed best on amazon.

it has been a great purchase. i love the colors (i got purple, my husband red). the case itself is also super comparible to other cases my friends have gotten from target or the apple store. they are sturdy, hold up well in case you drop one or if you have a 1-yr old, and they fit very well. i also appreciate that the cover completely wraps around the sides of the phone to cover the areas around plugs, etc. i didn't find a good case review on any other covers that did this. the static cling screen covers also work with this case.

i would definitely recommend.

I bought this case about 1 year ago. Loved it when I received it. It fits great without adding much bulk. I love the color, too. But I was always skeptical about it's protective capabilities. I purchased film screen cover to protect the screen from scratches. These paired offer great protection. Proof of protection: I set my iphone on the roof of the car while buckling the children into their seats. We took off with it on the roof. It fell off somewhere about a mile away from home where it was found by our neighbor who tracked me down. The fall from the roof to the pavement resulted in a few scratches and dings to the case and scratches on the screen protector only. The iphone came through without damage. I am purchasing a new one to replace the now dinged up case. BTW, I have removed the case only once to clean the phone. There was only a small amount of dust, lint inside the case as it is such a snug fit. Amazing since I carry my iphone everywhere including around the farm doing chores. GREAT VALUE. GREAT PROTECTION.

This case is great- nice non-slip matte grip and vibrant color. The purple is more of a fuschia and the color is stunning. I like how the case wraps around the edges of the iphone so when you place it face-down, the screen is not in contact with the surface.

I would definitely NOT consider this a slim case, because there is gap between the phone and the case...it's not in skintight hug/contact with the phone. However, that is not a complaint just a aesthetic comment and something to consider for future buyers. Also, some cases actually leave scratches on the back of the iphone, this one does NOT...it is lined with a strip of soft velvet on the inside.

If you have a screen protector, there is a ridge between the case the screen protector where particles can get trapped in-between. This results in an occasion cleaning to keep the dirt from building up. Great buy for under $8!!!!

When we received the case we liked it so much we ordered the same case in red. It really fits well and looked good. After 2 months the blue is almost totally gone. It is a dull gray. We are very disappointed.

i went through two frogz cases in less than 6 months. they are suppose to be "the best", and at thirty dollars a pop they should last longer. the CaseCrown design is definitely better. i haven't had any problems with the case at all. if you are trying to decide between the two, i strongly suggest the CaseCrown.

I am extremely pleased with this cover for my iPhone. I ordered it as soon as I ordered my iPhone 3Gs so I would have it around the same time as my phone. It arrived a day or 2 after I received my phone from AT&T. I have been using it for over a month now with no issues. It fits the iPhone perfectly and is very comfortable to hold onto since it is slightly textured. I ordered 2 of these -- the Purple Amethyst and Blue Sapphire. As far as colors, the purple is defintitely more fuschia rather than purple, but I love the color just the same. The Blue Sapphire is almost a deep royal blue. Both colors look great on my black phone. All in all I am very happy with this purchase.
