Excellent slim form case for my Iphone 3GS.

Used it as an alternative for my bamboo Encase cover.

The Good:
- definite points for form factor. Not as slim as a featherweight Incipio, but comes darn close.
- Tactile cover - won't slip out of my hand.
- I got the silver one which gives my black iphone a nice techy look
- The protective sheath extends to the face of the iphone - meaning that if my iphone slides around (face down) on a flat surface it's still protected. Note that the Incipio featherweight that I referenced above, does NOT do this.

The Bad:
- The rounded edges on the bottom and top of the sheath feel sharp
- If I were to drop my iphone on its corner there's limited protection where the cover doesn't wrap all the way around
- Pushing the volume buttons isn't as easy as it is with my Encase cover.

The Neutral:
- The cutout for the apple logo is somewhat disconcerting - I'm just used to having a solid back.
- The smell of the polycarbonate is somewhat plasticky (yes you know you smell your cases too) but I'm hoping with time that will improve.

Overall I'm very happy with this case. The slim-line, the protection of the screen, and color are great. Throw in the low price tag and it's a definite winner. If I'm planning to drop my phone and abuse it I'd have the Encase on it for sure. If I'm channeling a slick Fargo (from Eureka) it's Crowncase all the way!

Excellent product. Fits my phone nicely and doesn't cause operating issues like other covers I've had. Doesn't add any volume to my phone which is nice and it also doesn't stick to the inside of my purse or jeans. Silver color is perfect and the little cutout in the back for the apple sign is a nice added feature. Love it!!

- Fairly sturdy case.
- Sharp-looking
- Love the cutout
- Very secure - phone will not fall out

I always buy a protective case for my portable electronics. I love the look of this case. I haven't had it long enough to see how it holds up over time, but 2 drops so far and no scratches.

These cases look SHARP with the mirror screen protector!

I highly recommend it!

(Seller had an EXCELLENT delivery time)

Fits perfectly to the phone, unlike other cases I've seen that don't fit properly and will leave some spaces between the case and the phone;
I like the color of it, although after a couple months the original color starts to get a little darker;
The case has a rubberized texture, which gives a good grip; any scratch will remove part of this texture, and leave a plain plastic texture behind it;
Other than that is a great case, and unless I buy the iPhone 4, I'll probably buy a new case soon!

This case cover in silver fits like a slick cap over theback ofthephone- I personallythink theblack one looks better but iam really happy - if you bought this in the store you would pay double and so it's great valuefor money

Good case. Not much to complain about. I bent one after the first day cause I was removing it from the wrong side. You have to be carefull about that. Other than that it's not bad at all.

I had two iFrogz cases before I purchased this case, but the tabs holding the two pieces together kept breaking off. This case appealed to me because it was a single piece. It is THIN, much thinner than the iFrogz cases. It is a tight fit with no wiggle room to create scratches. It fits with an Invisible Shield on the screen. My iphone even fits in a docking station with the case on. I don't really like the circle cut out on the back, I think it is unnecessary and makes the back a little less sleek. Overall, it is the best case I've found.

Like the look and feel of this case. This is my first iphone - the only thing I learned about this case (after ordering a docking station), is that it won't work with that. You're better to get a case where the bottom slips off easily.

Bought two of these (black and red). They both look great and don't bulk up the phone too much.

Well, first off, it's made in China. The edges have a mold line. The material seems to be of pretty good quality and has a metallic look. It does have a slightly rubbery/grippy feel. Face down, the screen is a millimeter or two off the surface with this case. Good protection for the back and okay protection for the corners, however no protection for top and bottom. I have a slight issue with volume and silence buttons but everything else is easy to access (big fingers). Case snaps on easy, haven't tried/needed to take it off. Doesn't add hardly any bulk and doesn't add ANY WEIGHT. I went with silver which looks sharp (on black phone) but I might get another in Black or Blue because some of the dirt/lint sort of sticks to the back and is pretty visible.
Cost me $10 and $5 to ship. Estimated arrival was on a Thursday (3 days) and I got it on the following Monday =/
