I was pretty disappointed with this case. The iPod does not fit very well, (The case is too big), and the iPod jiggles around too much. I also never relieved the screen protector. The belt clip is the worst I have ever seen, it is practically impossible to get your phone off the clip when it is attached. I lost numerous calls while trying to get my phone off the cheesy plastic clip.

The case is unusable. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Don’t say, “Oh, it got a lot of 4 star reviews, it must not be that bad. It’s only 5 bucks too!” That’s 5 bucks you can go buy beer with. Keep the 5 bucks.
How doth this case suck? Let me count the ways…
1. Pretty flimsy. The loose friction latch on the side not only fails to keep the case closed when dropped, it snags all the time when you’re taking the phone in and out of your pocket.
2. The fit, or lack thereof. When the phone is in the case, the screen is about 1/4″ below the edge of the case. That little circle that’s cut out to hit the home button? Almost impossible to do. Adjusting volume and locking the phone, very hard to do because of the fit of the case. Take all the manual switches and buttons that Apple worked so hard on and make them 5x more frustrating to get to.
Please please please please listen to the crowd on this one. This isn’t worth getting your hopes up about.

Actually I do use it with my iPhone 3G. There may be a reason not to use it with 3G iPhones but I haven’t figured it out. It works fairly well.
The case I received was also different from the one pictured. These really aren’t problems and I think mine looks better.
On mine:
The hinge is on the opposite side.
The home button is improperly oval shaped.
The speaker for the phone is not raised and has two oval slits rather than the three pictured.
For around 5 dollars this was worth it. It has taken some fairly serious drops on asphalt and tile floors and my phone survived unscathed (besides any unknown internal problems).
Construction:
The outside is made of aluminum of fairly lowish grade. It can bend and the areas where my Home button is, is very bent inward.
The inside is coated with a neoprene-ish type cloth on the majority of the interior surface.
The top back panel does not line up flush with the curved back of the iPhone. This is not an issue but it is there.
The design leaves it open for headphone jacks, computer USB plug in, taking pictures with the camera, and it also comes with a detachable belt clip that screws into the back.
WARNING: I purchased another product for my iPod Nano years ago and on that model you push the ipod in straight on. With this case, SLIDE THE IPHONE IN THROUGH THE TOP SLOWLY WITH DOOR IN FRONT OPEN. If you feel any catches while inserting the iPhone, slowly remove it and try to line it up right again. I scratched the sides of my iPhone on the metal edges by doing this wrong and trying to push it past the front.
Overall it is a good product but I cant predict what you can expect. I got a different one from the picture and other reviews got a different one than I did. But for 5 dollars… what can you expect?

This is one of the most ill fitting and useless products I have bought for my new i phone.
I was stupid enough to buy two of them thinking that I would have a form fitting protective cover for my
phone and my daughters. The only thing that it was protective with is the use of the phone. The top cover did not come close to fitting the phone without considerable ‘tweaking’!
The two units that I received in the mail were NOT as pictured in the advertisement. The hinge was on the opposite side.
The top cover was about 1/4 inch above the phone and the holes did not match close enough to use them.
I double checked the name and product number several times not believing that I was sent what I ordered!
Save your money and don’t order this product. I would even go as far as to say that if I had it to do over again, I would have never used Amazon.com for ordering. I have had an almost continuous supply of spam to my mail server, along with other stuff from other companies trying to sell me products of a similar nature.
If you value your money’s worth for a product and cherish your privacy don’t get involved or order from Amazon.com!
I have spent almost a month trying to give a review on this product, but it has been blocked from my browser until tonight.
