A good light, thin, and colorful cover for the iPhone 3G
I originally looked at this as an affordable alternative to the Incipio Feather case for the iPhone sold in AT&T stores and here at Amazon.com. I like this one so much I would consider the Feather case as a more costly alternative to this one. Not to mention the vibrant colors these come in versus the typical black, white, or drab colors of other cases.
This case adds very, very little bulk to the iPhone with regard to both minimail addition of size and weight. It does not interfere with the surface of the device and I am still able to retain the screen protector with it on. The sides now have a more grippy feel to them so the phone slips less in my hand. Due to the apple logo port hole on the back of the device, I am able to orient the phone when held without even looking at it.
Things I would have liked better include better corner protection on the front and better fit when docking in devices. For corner protection it is protecting the back well enough. It is the front I have concerns with as it just does not have anything covering them from the case and only if the device is laying on its face will the sides of the case prevent the corners from making contact. Instead having the corner tabs go all the way up over the front too would have been welcomed. Second was the better fit when docking and I expect this is often the issues with cases. With my items it was either with the case on it is too wide for some docks and on other docks the cover added too much material to the bottom -- just just barely in both of these examples. For the bottom issue most items have a cup for fitment you can remove and then it fits in fine.
I was on the border for 4 or 5 stars as it is not a perfect product, but the positive features and price pulled it over the top for me. So far it has been durable enough surviving my weekly air travel, going to the gym, and a few drops along the way. I actually ordered a Red and Blue one so I had a backup. I plan to swap them out every now and then for a little variety.

Okay Case...Could be better
I had very high expectations for this case from all of the reviews I read. I am somewhat disappointed now that I have the case in my possession. The case does not go completely around the whole phone. The top and botton of the phone are left bare with no protection. I also do not like the fact that you have to "pop" the case on and off and always feel I will damage my phone when doing so.
Otherwise, I like the feel (kind of a soft plastic feel) and color. I would just like more protection for my phone and believe the case should lower price.

Nice case
I bought this case for my g/f's iphone and she loves it. I have a case from more thing (3D series) and it is almost identical. I just am not the kind of person who likes bright and flashy cases but this is a very well constructed case. Nice feel and very tight fitting. Did not add any bulk to phone. Great deal and great cover. Would recommend to any of my friends.

Best iphone 3g case - EVER!
Love this case. I owned a similar case for the 1G iphone. The pros are its slim profile, light weight, easy on/off (why one would take is off is a question), great color choices (I have the red, it is somewhat metallic), does not add much bulk (seems ever so slightly thicker than the 1G version, but still the best out there), also has great comfort and gripability (is that a word, oh well, you know what I mean). At this price, <$10, who could beat the value. Enjoy!

Great case for under $10 delivered!
I wasn't expecting much for the price, but was pleasantly surprised!
The case fits my iPhone perfectly. I usually have problems with cases not allowing me to dock the phone, but since this one isn't completely closed it does allow for it to dock w/o problems.
