iFrogz Luxe Case for iPhone 3G, 3G S (Red/Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased an iFrogs Luxe case the same day I purchased my iPhone 3Gs, and at first was impressed. The case fit nicely, and everything lined up as it should. Initial impressions were positive ones. It protected well, and wasn't difficult to remove from pockets at all. Should be a 5 star review then. Then came the bad...
I own a white iPhone 3Gs. White phones show things a black phone won't. My phone showed that the coloring of the iFrogz Luxe is PAINTED on, and not a molded in color. 1 week after purchase I took the case off, and noticed that I had blue PAINT on my new white iPhone from the case! I was furious. This revelation showed two relative flaws in this case.
1) Color is not permanent on this case. It will rub off onto your phone
2) the placement of the color shows that it seems to placing pressure on the upper edges of my iPhone and creating a wear/friction spots on both the case and the plastic portion of the iPhone.
There are better cases on the market than this, but there are also worse cases. Final tally? A 3 out of 5

Sonix Snap Slim Case for Verizon or AT&T iPhone 4 with 2 Screen Protectors (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned the iphone 3GS and now the iphone 4. Between the 2 I have purchased 3 different cases for the iphone 3GS and this is my second case for the iphone 4 (I also have the Apple bumper). The cost of the various cases I have bought have ranged from $20-$50. Here is my basic impression of how the Sonix case stacks up:
1. Build quality: This is a very thin and lightweight case. If you want a case that will protect your phone from drops, the Apple bumper may be a better choice. In fact I did drop the phone with the bumper and there were no scratches. Zero. Haven't had an accident with this one, but it's a nice quality case, with a very nice grip but it's main function is to protect the phone from nicks and bruises in daily use. I have switched to using this as my default case.
2. Design: This is the best 'looking' case I have ever owned! It is very slim and light and compliments the iphone 4 beautifully. Whereas with the Apple bumper you completely lose the metal looks of this band, this one keeps enough highlights of the aluminium band that the phone does not lose any of its attractiveness. With ANY other phone I would not care about cloaking the phone in a case, but the iphone 4 is a thing of beauty! You just need to see it and hold it to know what I mean. This case is unique because it does NOT change either the balance or the looks of the phone. It compliments it very well.
3. Impact on antenna issue: Frankly I have had no dropped calls with my iphone 4. It is better than my iphone 3gs in very way in terms of call quality. In fact I was in the Outer Banks recently and while my wife Sony Ericsson C902 phone had a hard time keeping a signal for a call, the iphone 4 had no issues. I do have the issue where the bars will drop when you hold the phone a certain way, but it has no impact on my call quality. This case, like the bumper helps in not dropping the bars compared to holding the phone, but it does not help or degrade the call quality. So, if you are looking to get this case to help with call quality I am afraid my experience in both the Washington DC area and the outer banks and places in between says it won't help or hurt...
4. Value: At $19.99 this is a no brainer really. You get the best looking case that is very functional and elegant. I don't really use the screen protector. The screen on the iphone 4 is already pretty glare resistant - more so than the 3GS, so the screen protector can help with scratches but not for glare. For what it's worth I used my iphone 4 as a GPS for our trip to the outer banks. The screen on the iphone 4 was completely readable even in the brightest and direct sun light. The screen on the iphone 4 is fantastic and covering it up with a protector doesn't seem like a good idea (to me at least).
Overall, I am really happy with this case and would recommend it to anyone.

Seidio SURFACE Case and Holster Combo for iPhone 3G, 3G S (Ash Grey) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read several reviews and decided on this case because it seemed to be reviewed the best. I just got the 3GS but I had the 1st generation iPhone for like 18 month. In that time frame I went through probably like 6-7 cases most of which I bought from the apple store on recommendations from the staff. However, I have not had anything or seen anyone else that had anything that compares to this case.
Things to keep in mind: I haven't had it too long so I don't know how well it will it will stand the test of time, but it feels pretty sturdy and I don't foresee any problems. Also, it is a little bit more expensive than other cases/ holsters. But on that note it is about on par with the price of things at the apple store. It seems to be worth the money though.Positives: the whole blue case is cool, gray case is very nice. Fits the phone real nice, it leaves ample room for all of the functions of the phone. The bottom slides off so it can dock. Plus the whole for the apple is pretty cool too. The holster is really nice too. It holds the phone face in and the part that is up against the face is a soft felt. and the clip swivels so you can hook it to your belt on the side and then switch it to your pocket and put the clip straight up and down very easily.
All in all I say it is a good product.
