Review: ifrogz iPhone 3G case

Looks nice, but their shipping to Canada is a completely unjustified $60.

Are these available for original iPhones? If they're only for the 3G models, how come the profile shot of the iPhone reveals original iPhone volume controls?

These cases are everywhere, under generic Chinese import no-name brands. I paid $20 for my first one in a booth in the mall, then found them for $10 at a flea market, then again for $5 on ebay. I really like them, even though the finish chips fairly easily.

It fits on perfectly and you won't know that it's there. It won't help a big fall, but it'll keep scratches away.

Check out the SwitchEasy Rebel... I've had the black one for a couple months now - it rocks... (My brother has the red one and it is interesting but the black is really sweet... It is really good for taking in and out of the pocket quickly, but also has good grip.

I just bought several items from ifrogz. great products, customer service is outstanding! nice folks.

This case is well made, well designed, easy to use, does not mark up the iphone in anyway. and the texture is perfect. good grip, but not too sticky that it won't slide in my pocket.

Now that so many have iphones, with this case, i'm getting people asking me "wow, who makes an orange phone...oh, it's an iphone!"

Is the included screen protector a static cling affair or is it the sticky backed adhesive kind?

So that's how it works? If a company sends you a free sample, they get a big cushy write up on your blog?

FWIW I absolutely love my Iskin revo case. From what I can tell it beats the snot out of that Dr. Bott mess.

I have the same problems with cases being too bulky as well. My favorite case so far is the Power Support Air Jacket.
Low Profile and Hard plastic. Works decent on a flat surface. The screen protector is way better than just the iPhone glass but might take a few tries to get on right.

I have a very similar iFrogz product:

It is a version of that case with a clear top and colored bottom. As mentioned in the article, it is a bit difficult to remove. As I rarely dock my 3g (I often use the included USB sync cable) this is a non-issue for me.

As stated in the article, the round clasp in the back does create a bit of a wobble while laying flat. Again, that said I typically am holding my device when typing.

Those 2 items excluded, it's a great case. It adds very little bulk to the size of the phone. Additionally I am very happy with both the look and feel of the case. The satin touch on the lower half of my case is very pleasing. It would also seem based on my experience, the above review, and other comments I have read, that the site does not honestly reflect the great colors they offer. I own the Blue version of my case and it is a wonderful dark metallic royal blue color. Above is stated that the red is very nice and I have also read elsewhere that the burnt orange and green are excellent as well.

As cases go, this is my favorite I have used thus far. Low impact to functionality and bulk, highly protective, and very attractive. While I sure like the look and feel of going naked (with the phone, you dirty minded peoples), this has been the best option I have found yet To protect the look and size while maintaining the finish of my pretty white iPhone 3g. I high recommend this iFrogz product.
