Perfect in Every Way for the i phone !!

I must say I was a little sceptical when I purchased this from amazon. But my fears were totally unfounded!! Very attractive and fits the i phone perfectly the magnetic clasp is secure and trendy. The ethos of the company is great and the look is attractive. If you have an i phone get this!

Beware - not for the 3G, and a couple of other problems.

Firstly, note that this case is not really any good for the iPhone 3G (which is what I have!). The earpiece cut-out is not the correct shape to expose the proximity and light sensors (which are in a different place to the original iPhone). So the display is often too dim/bright, and the touchscreen is not disabled when calling, so you tend to hit all sorts of buttons with your face. But, I guess I should have been more careful about what I was buying. (the 3G version is now available on Amazon i-nique Executive Soft Napa Leather Case - Apple iPhone)

All the same, it is a fairly nice object, made from nice soft leather, with an included belt clip thing which I haven't bothered using. If the clip is not fitted, a small screw fits into the hole it would normally attach to. This screw as a tendency to scratch anything it comes into contact with, so be careful when sliding the case along a table top, for example. The screw can, of course, be removed to leave an unsightly hole in the back of the otherwise attractive case.

Another minor comment would be regarding the choice of stitching colour - why green?! It looks like eco-nique saw sense and changed this on the 3G version mentioned above.

Despite being the wrong case for my phone, scratching everything it touches and being stitched in a horrible colour, I am much happier taking my iPhone out and about in this case than simply chucking it in my pocket/glove-box unprotected. Had I bought the 3G version, with grey stitching, my only problem would be the scratching screw (which may or may not have been fixed - it's hard to tell from the photos), and I would probably have given this 4/5 stars.
