(More customer reviews)We bought the SHIELD slim case for the iPhone and the elago slim case. We prefer the SHIELD, here is why:
Firstly, we wanted a very slim, lightweight, matte finish plastic case (not silicone) to protect our iPhones. These were the top two choices based on our research.
1. Both are very similar, so the differences are very slight, but...
2. The SHIELD wraps around the edges of the iPhone slightly more, providing better protection for the silver bezel.
3. The SHIELD has a cutout for the volume toggle switch (has protection on all 4 sides). The elago protects only 3 sides of the switch - this makes adjusting the volume slightly more difficult, but better protects the switch and prevents accidental pressing.
4. The SHIELD appears to be coated with a slightly thicker paint.
5. The elago is only painted partially on the inside (the side that you don't see), that's fine but you can see the edge of white unpainted area when looking closely. The SHIELD does not suffer from this problem.
6. The only place where I think the elago is better is the accuracy of the cutouts around the switches and connectors. The mold used to make the case I think is slightly better designed than the SHILED - this is an observation from an automotive engineer, not something that most people may care about.
IN conclusion, both are fine cases and have a nice tacky, almost rubberized feel, so it comes down to design - the SHIELD wins this comparison.
