(5 out of 5) by P. Hill on May 29, 2009 (league city, texas)Has already saved my iPhone from shattering like the first one when I dropped it a concrete driveway. The baby powder "puff" method worked to prevent the water marks.
needs bugs worked out
(3 out of 5) by Greg Columbus on May 28, 2009 (Brownwood, Tx)filters DO keep out dust and other gunk but, cut ringer volume in half !!! Also holster does not have enough tension to secure phone, slightest touch on top of phone sends it flying off. Other then that, this thing is a beast!!! it will protect your phone!! with some changes this thing would be really great
Bulky and cumbersome
(1 out of 5) by F. Gallagher on May 28, 2009The case will save your I-phone from destruction but at a cost of being so bulky to carry that it is cumbersome. It does come with a belt clip but again, it is so protective and bulky, you definitely know its on your hip. The case is constructed for durability.
I sent both of mine back for a refund.

Just one little flaw
(4 out of 5) by Paul J. Didominic on May 24, 2009 (Milford, CT)This case is really great. I work in construction and I was really worried about owning an iphone. This case took that fear away. The case is a little bulky, but I don't mind that.
The only thing is that there seems to be some sort of oil-slick looking spots on the screen. I did some research to find that many people have this problem. The suggested solution is to rub your hand on the inside of the screen protector before you attach the case. Supposedly the oils from your hand will prevent this oil-slick from occurring. I had little luck with this solution. It's not really a big deal. Just a little nuisance.

Great protection...but even a greater potential loss!
(4 out of 5) by Maritza on May 24, 2009 (Las Vegas, NV)The product does wonderful job of what it is meant to do in terms of protecting the phone. However, for the price, it is disappointing that the belt clip isn't secure enough to keep the phone in place. I was really looking forward to using it at the gym, but I changed my mind fast when I found myself having to pick up the phone every time I leaned forward or even when I was simply going up the stairs. For spending a hefty price on a phone case, I find it to be a liability where the phone can one day end up in someone else's hands if I lose it and not even realize it. Great job of protecting the phone, but the company needs to work on the belt clip issue.
