 Review March 8, 2010

I think the product works well.
It's light-weight and easy to remove and insert the phone into the product.
Those wishing to purchase the product should think about "color". The darker the color of the product, the more likely it will collect lint.
 Important design flaw March 6, 2010
Rob (New York City)
I've been a big fan of Speck ipod/iphone covers for several years. I got this one because I liked the rugged look & feel of the cover.
I also listen to a lot of music off my iphone, including using it to plug into computer speakers at the office (or at home).
The problem is that, due to the inherent thickness of the cover's rubber/plastic, the hole on the upper edge that is designed to accept a speaker wire prong, simply doesn't work. For earbuds, the prong is thinner, so it works. Not so for standard computer speaker wire prongs. You can try plugging in a speaker wire prong, but due to the thickness of the rubber/plastic cover, the prong won't introduce all the way into the iphone and "settle" with a click. As a result, the prong is dangling only partially within the hole, creating a lot of harsh static sound over the speakers; and it is prone to fall out completely with movement or handling of the iphone.
The only way around it is to peel back the cover over the upper outer edge, exposing the bare iphone casing, and then plug in the speaker wire prong directly. Not an elegant solution.
I listen to a lot of music from my iPhone through computer speakers. As a result, due to this design flaw, I have unfortunately decided to return the product.
It's a nice case for your iPhone March 3, 2010

LOVE the color choices! I got the Huckleberry Purple. The sleeve fits over the iPhone nicely, and it was easy to slip the phone into the case. Some of the other reviewers mentioned not being able to push some of the buttons on the keyboard because of how thick this sleeve is, I don't have a problem with this at all. This is not a hard shell, but a sturdy, hardy, plastic material. I would have given this five stars, except that at the bottom of the case it's "flappy". It was made a little too big and there is some dead space at the bottom, which I'm not sure I can get over, and will probably replace this with something else that fits a little better.
$31 @ the apple store February 24, 2010

My wife bought this at the apple store, and when she brought it home I used the amazon app to bring up the same item for $17 here. I did the switch and saved $14. Hey, the app thing was their idea.
