CaseCrown iPhone 3G 3GS Soft Polycarbonate Slim-Fit Case (Black)

Good case with a caveat or two... 2010-07-24

Reviewer: Netizen

I've used this case for a year-and-a-half on my black iPhone 3GS.

The look and feel, as well as accessibility of all ports, are all very good.
The texture is a nice non-slip type that really makes holding the phone
more secure. The cutout in the back allows that all-important Apple
logo to shine through.

A few issues that I have with the case follow:

* You cannot use most iPhone cradles with this case on the phone.

* It would be wise to carefully remove the case (stiff guitar pick or "orange" stick)
every so often and clean any dust or grit that has become trapped between the
case and phone back. Otherwise, the foreign material will abrade the shiny
surface of the phone. Discovered this too late, but abrasion was not very serious
but affects the resale-ability of the phone, of course.

* You are trading sleekness for reduced shock protection. Some other cases
offer more protection-- particularly of corners, but are bulkier, less sexy.

I recently received the Otterbox "Defender" case as a gift, and I've been using
that one. Since I work outdoors a lot, the Otterbox makes good sense, but it
is decidedly non-sexy and makes your iPhone look like something altogether
other than an iPhone.

If you go with the CaseCrown, look into the Luxo leather belt clip case sold
by PC Micro. It is very reasonably priced, sturdy, with magnetic closure, and both
belt clip and loops to secure your phone.

I'm just a regular consumer and have no affiliation with any of the companies or
products mentioned in this review. Just hoping this information might be useful
for you in making your decision.

Suits my needs, and looks nice. 2010-07-08

As long as you file down the inner edges on the front, where the case comes in contact with the edges of the touchscreen, it won't interfere with your screen protector. And you can avoid having the seams in the plastic inside the case rub up against your phone constantly by simply applying some tape. Normally I would say having to alter something to make it work properly is B.S. but this was so cheap, and you can't see evidence of anything that I had to do to it at all, and it's perfect for me otherwise.

It looks good and feels good, you can still access every button and plug easily, and for someone like me who really doesn't put my phones through THAT much hell, the protection level is just fine. I was also actually expecting it to be made of a slightly sticky/tacky material (which lint and such would annoyingly get stuck to all the time) but it's really just a soft, flat-finished plastic, so nothing sticks to it, and it also doesn't show fingerprints that much either.

And it's true that the hole in the back for displaying the Apple logo is just a tad off-center, but I don't personally care about that. It looks fine.

Delivered quickly (International delivery) and packaged well. Product is light, tight and well presented. Highly recommended.

The crown case is perfect for what I was looking for. It protects the iPhone but isn't bulky. It fits great and I like it because it is slightly tacky.

Dirt gets in the back and scratches your phone. I had mine on since day 1 and pulled it off to clean my phone and its scratched all over the back case.get a rubberized case that wont let dirt behind it or you'll be sorry.
