5.0 out of 5 stars I love this thing., May 11, 2009

By	T. McClung - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

***UPDATE*** 10/03/09

After having this case for some time, I would now rate it a 3 instead of a 5. The case definitely stretched over a few months, and the sensors on my phone began to be blocked. I ended up having to cut a hole in the case so that my phone would work properly. I recently bought a SwitchEasy Rebel, and am MUCH happier with it.


Original Review:

When I got my iPhone, I bought a SwitchEasy Colors case. I liked it at first, but it quickly stretched out. After that, it no longer fit the phone correctly, and dirt was able to get behind the phone. My husband bought this case in black when he first got his iPhone, and it had been perfect. So, I ordered it in white.

The Good:

This case perfectly fits the phone, and does not stretch out. The texture of it is not as slick as some of the other cases, and so you have a better grip on the phone when holding it. I also like the recessed part for the button much better than the raised one on the SwitchEasy. The white, surprisingly, does not get dirty.

The (very small) Bad:

The texture of the case does seem to attract lint more than the SwitchEasy case. So, if you stick it in the pocket of your jeans, it's probably going to come out with some blue lint on it. This is really not big deal though because it can be easily brushed off.

I would definitely recommend this case to anyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect rubber, rugged case, March 5, 2009

By	E. Thomas Erickson "viking_kittens" (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews

My primary reasons for purchasing this case was that it was fairly thick, strong rubber but that wasn't too clunky. It also needed to cover the top and bottom non-screen areas of the iPhone because if you drop it, there's no guarantee it won't be face down on concrete, which could go through a screen protector (had it happen on another device).

I agree with one of the other comments that because it's white, you rarely find yourself hunting around a room for it. My two previous cases were a dark red and a black and I lost my phone all the time.

The other reviewer who pointed out that it doesn't get dirty is right, and when it does (maybe grease or dirt from car door or mail package) it rubs right off. You can obviously take the thing off and clean it with dish soap, as I do every few weeks.

The biggest drawback is that while it covers every extra bit of the phone (including volume rocker), the sensors, as another pointed out, do get messed up. What happens is that the screen will be really dark outside because the light detector doesn't get activated. Or, in the worst case, after or during a call the screen stays completely blank because it doesn't know that it's been pulled away from your face.

These problems were solve with scissors, however. An oval hole for the front top sensors does the trick and the case is still snug. The bottom had to be modified by me as well, as I had to cut the area of the cover around the microphone so it would fit my Griffin car charger (USB for 3G).

But the ultimate test were the 3 or 4 times I've dropped it since I got the case - on grass, on concrete, on hardwood floor - it came out completely unscathed every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Cover EVER for IPhone 3G !, March 3, 2009

By	Heather Mason (WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I stood in line for 8 hours to get the iphone 3G when it came out, so your darn right I was going to get a case to protect it. They only had two types to choose from at the apple store, niether was a marware. Needless to say the "no-marware covers" sucked BIG TIME! I was in need of a rubber case that would fit snug and not fall off. In comes the Marware - I've had the white one ever since - It's awesome! I throw the phone in my purse, jacket pocket, car, wherever...It never gets dirty and it's white! I can't believe it! I would definitely buy it again and again, if mine were ever to wear out. I don't have any issues with this case covering any sensors - not sure what that review is all about?
