4.0 out of 5 stars Tough Utilitarian Case!, February 21, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Speck Products PixelSkin for iPhone 3G/3GS - Licorice Black (Wireless Phone Accessory)
This case is excellent, right out of the box. The material fully pads and protects the delicate edges of the iPhone body, and wraps around the front edges & screen to add some protection there as well. (I set the screen on its face most often, and this "lip" or "edge" is sufficient to protect the glass from actually touching the table surface!)

Although some have described this case as "bulky" and limiting because of its size, I find the size still very slim fitting. Obviously it isn't as slim as some cases, but it is a well engineered case.

I purchased 5 cases all on the same day so that I could REALLY find out which is the best case offerred on Amazon. I would say that in the $15-16 range, this case and the ifrogz cases are neck and neck. Although very different, they both offer the best protection for the money and I'm very happy with both as far as look, feel, design, comfort and slim-fit.

The only reason I give this 4 stars, rather than 5, is because of two things. Primarily, when texting or e-mailing, the thick raised edge of this case becomes slightly cumbersome. This only affects the 3 letters on each side of the keypad when the iPhone is held vertically, and I assume ONLY affects those of us with a bit more sizeable fingertips. (The dainty or petite-hands will not have a problem here.) Secondly, this case would be a better value if it included a clear screen protector - which, for the price, seems reasonable. (Although comparing Amazon pricing to retail, Amazon is a bargain.)

I would highly recommend this to any friend as an affordable case to give protection from every day bumps, nicks, scratches, and low-height droppage of your iPhone device. Like any case shown here, don't expect it to save your iPhone from a 2 story drop onto pavement...

Hope this helps. Great job, Speck!
++ Also recommending the ifrogz cases VERY highly.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hate it, but maybe I'd hate all similar cases, October 14, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Speck Products PixelSkin for iPhone 3G/3GS - Licorice Black (Wireless Phone Accessory)
Within a day of receiving this case I knew I hated it. It seems to protect the phone just fine from drops and what not, but there are some serious issues I have with this case. Please note that I suspect that many of the things I hate about this case are probably not unique to this case but rather are a problem with all silicone cases.

The Bad:

1. If you are going to buy this case you better make sure your pockets are completely lint free. This thing is a lint/dust/dirt magnet! Everything sticks to it and makes it look filthy.

2. Its pretty hard to get out of your pocket thanks to its sticky texture. Women will likely have better luck if they are using a purse.

3. The case is very bulky, killing the sleek awesomeness of the iphone.

4. The headphone opening is way too small. It works great with the Apple ear buds but the cord I use to hook it to my car stereo has a connector that will not fit into this opening. Solution is to either take it out of its case or buy a new cable. I opted to take it out of the case.

5. Although the silicone seems to be great at protecting the phone from serious drops, the flexible nature of the material allows all sorts of junk to get between the iphone and the case. This causes scratches. All over the phone. I'm not some hipster who needs to have the nicest looking iphone around but this is absurd! The silver outline of the phone is very clearly scratched all the way around and the back has been beat to hell. This seems to go contrary to the idea of a protective case!

The Good:

1. Seems to protect the phone against drops. Of course since I haven't dropped it I can't say if thats true or not.

2. The sticky texture that makes it hard to get out of your pocket also makes it hard to drop.

The I'm not sure if this is good or bad:

1. The case makes the iphone look like a hand grenade.

Overall, I've decided that its the type of case that is flawed not necessarily this case. I'll be avoiding silicone like the plague. I suspect this isn't a bad silicone case its just that I wouldn't like any silicone case period.
