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.

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.

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.

After I broke the screen on my iPhone, and had to pay $275 to get it fixed, I thought a case that protects would be in order. This case fits snugly over the phone and doesn't alter the size too much. I removed the belt clip so that I could continue to use the belt holster, and with the new cover the iPhone actually fits into the holster more snugly. The only downside is having to open and close the cover to use it and having to hold it open while in use, but a small price to pay to prevent another repair bill.

this product not only didnt fit my 3g iphone but also broke very easily i do not recommend this product to anyone.

Very flimsy. A piece broke off when I first snapped it on. Nevertheless, I would not have used it anyway. I did not feel confident that it would hold together and my iPhone could easily fall out.

Bought the item, had it shipped to my family in the USA, they shipped it to Prague only to find out it doesn't fit my phone! Would have been nice to know this ahead of the time an expense....

This thing is awesome.. It cost less than an apple case and I absolutley love the flip screen feature.. saves my phone.. and keeps my phone looking new.. I just wish I had recieved it before I dropped my phone and scratched up the metal case..

I was disapointed with this product as it failed to clip around the iphone as it should. I do not recommend this product

The product itself is good, but the flip up screen protector takes a little getting used to.
