2 out of 5 stars Covers sensor   March 16, 2010
Audrey T. Williams (Michigan)
After a few months use, I noticed that whenever I would hold the phone to my ear it stopped disabling the screen. As a result I was constantly putting people on hold by mistake. I finally realized that the case had stretched just enough to cover the proximity sensor. Too bad because I really liked this case. Now I don't use it at all.


4 out of 5 stars Nice for the price   March 16, 2010

I had recently dropped my iphone and receive a nice spiderweb crack across the face. It was not a cheap fix! I found the Otterbox Impact online and for the minimal price, it has been well worth it. It protects my phone at the corners where it seems to land everytime it's dropped. The only draw back I miss is a beltclip and there maybe one available for this softcase protector. But I would definately purchase again and recommend it to anyone.


4 out of 5 stars Solid case, but some drawbacks   March 15, 2010
Dave (Boston, Ma)
Pros -
Fairly priced (even though it is just a hunk of molded rubber)
Good quality
Protects the phone from scratches and drops
If you put it into your shirt pocket and bend over the rubber catches so it
doesn't fall out
Covers up buttons that most other cases leave available (but still allows you to use)

Cons -
The screen protector is a pain in the you know where to put on without bubbles
Nitpicky, but worth noting: the opposite of the above is true. While the rubber
makes it so it doesn't fall out of your pocket, it also makes it so it doesn't
slide into your pocket as easily
The rubber will catch more than its fair share of dirt in your pocket

Overall - It's a good case for the money and I'd probably get it again. The only real drawback is putting on the plastic cover effectively without bubbles.




4 out of 5 stars Nice Case for the money   March 14, 2010
Tom (Flemington, NJ United States)
I suspect, like many other iPhone users, I have several cases for my phone. I've found this one gives a reasonable amount of protection and comes with a nice screen film. I stopped using my Defender Case due to the echo issue and have really come to like the smaller profile of this case over the larger Defender case.I like the smooth feel to the case. It's "grippy" enough not to be slippery so it can be slid in and out of jean pockets easily. I do wish however that it came with a headphone port plug. This is where one of the moisture sensors is located so it's important to keep that port protected. Get a drop of water or sweat in that port and the sensor turns red meaning your phone is then out of warranty. I think I'm going to try the Commuter case next.


5 out of 5 stars Love this case   March 13, 2010
F. Bastiat fan (CA)
This has saved my 3Gs from 3 or 4 falls to the ground; all without any damage whatsoever. The iPhone without any cover is slippery as a goldfish and I originally dropped it 5 times in the first week of ownership, fortunately each time onto a carpeted floor. I knew I "needed protection!" This is compact but rugged, offers a good grip, rubber surface. All ports and controls are accessible/functional. Silence/vibrator switch is a little hard to click sometimes but a fingernail will work fine to snag it. I love being able to have my phone upside down in my shirt pocket with the speaker audible as I walk around yet I can bend down to tie my shoe and the phone won't slip/fall out of my shirt pocket. The few times I tried to do the same without this cover on the phone slipped out every time. If you like to walk around without headphones listening to streaming audio from your shirt pocket, this is the bomb. The only drawback is it collects a little lint if you carry it in your pants front pocket but I hate doing that anyway cause I can't hear my speaker.
