1.0 out of 5 stars Interferes with function of the iPhone, August 15, 2008

By	berkdude - See all my reviews

Bought it recently but not a fan.

PLUSES:
- It's leather

MINUSES:
- It interferes with usage of the iPhone. Firstly, you can no longer easily type certain keys near the edge of the keyboard (e.g. return, delete) - the case gets in the way. You can get to them, but you need to break up the flow of your typing and press hard, several times, to try to get them to activate.

- Secondly, when you make calls holding the phone up to your face (as opposed to speaker or using headphones), the case trips out the iPhone's sensing mechanism, so whenever you take the phone away from your face, the screen doesn't come back on like it's supposed to, making it hard to hang up on calls.

- It doesn't look great - it looks okay. I thought so after I put it on the first time, and most people who've seen it have made lukewarm comments about it.

- Finally, the belt clip is not removable. I don't want a belt clip as walking around with your iPhone your belt in downtown Philadelphia is like asking to be mugged. So it's instead a cumbersome addition in my pocket.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great IPhone case, October 30, 2007

By	M. G. Stockwell - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fits perfectly, has a sturdy belt clip, and all phone functions are accessible. Phone fits snugly enough that 'falling out' is very unlikely.

2.0 out of 5 stars Griffin Elan iPhone Case, January 9, 2009

By	Donald F. Mccoy - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been using the case for about a month now, and I'm not too happy with it. The phone has slipped out a few times, so I reoriented the clip to vertical. It's better, but the clip keeps coming loose from my belt. I'll be looking for something better.
