Bloody excellant!!, January 27, 2008
This review is from: White Flower with Purple Butterfly Snap on Faceplate Hard Case Cover for Apple 3G iPhone / iPhone 3GS 3G S Cell Phone (Wireless Phone Accessory)
This is so simple and useful that I'm surprised more people haven't bought it. The only big drawback is that the encased phone will no longer fit into the usual docks and holders. Once you seal your I-phone in the case by clipping together the plastic pieces, it is rather difficult to exhume the device without getting medieval with knives, screwdrivers or other tools - which may also have to be used to flick the silent mode switch. The clip can come in handy if you want to attach your phone to your seat belt in the car - a bit easier to keep track of phone and wires without Bluetooth. A good use of polymers and well worth the price, carbon footprint an' all.

Excellent case for the money, but..., February 13, 2008
This review is from: White Flower with Purple Butterfly Snap on Faceplate Hard Case Cover for Apple 3G iPhone / iPhone 3GS 3G S Cell Phone (Wireless Phone Accessory)
Pros:
-It was $1.95, need I say more?
-iPhone shows through clearly, hard to tell there's a case on it from a distance.
-Highly durable, dropped it several times and not even a scratch
-Very easy to put on, fairly slim as these cases go.
-Excellent belt clip, very durable, also clear. Snaps on and off easily.
Cons:
-Difficult to remove as you need to push a small tab in with a key or small screwdriver to pop the case open.
-Plastic lid can be annoying, it doesn't flip all the way up and over, has to be held up while accessing screen, but case can easily be used without it. (I use a film protector instead)
-Can't use dock with the case, but that's true of almost all iphone cases -- hard to understand why they can't make a case that leaves the base exposed. Especially annoying since the case doesn't just pop off easily. Going to try cutting enough off the bottom to expose it, should work fine.
-Belt clip leaves the small round connector in place when removed, annoying if you only use the clip infrequently and otherwise leave the phone in your pocket. I removed it with a screwdriver, but would have to screw it back on to use the clip. Not unique to this, almost all cases with clips have the same issue.

NOT FOR IPHONE 3G, August 31, 2008
This review is from: White Flower with Purple Butterfly Snap on Faceplate Hard Case Cover for Apple 3G iPhone / iPhone 3GS 3G S Cell Phone (Wireless Phone Accessory)
DOES NOT FIT IPHONE 3G. Would appreciate this being stated clearly on site. Unless of course the plan is to have unwitting 3G owners like myself, purchase a useless piece of equipment. 3G is larger than original iphone and cannot fit into this case. 2 stars for prompt response after I complained. Like most people I dont have time to send back a $2 purchase for refund. Nice plan.
