5 out of 5 stars Fantastic case, even better value   May 21, 2009
R. Race (North Carolina, USA)

I'm about as happy as I could be with the Impact case. Carrying around a slippery, glass-fronted device, I was primarily looking for a case that would provide good energy dissipation in the inevitable event that I drop-kick it across a room when fumbling for keys. As such, an unyielding hardshell case just wasn't ideal. The fitment, bracing, and silicone material of the Impact are a well-thought-out means of limiting shock intensity (although I thankfully haven't tested it to any considerable extent).
The Impact fits the phone snugly, provides a good textured grip for the hand, and doesn't drown out the mic and earpiece like poorly-fitted units. All slides and buttons are easily accessible - perhaps even more so than without case since my hand isn't slipping all over the glossy shell. Relatedly, the Impact adds very little size to the phone and weighs next to nothing.
The included screen protector works great too - I'd heard of rainbow refractions and a slightly-milky appearance, but cleaning the surface well beforehand and working carefully resulted in a crystal-clear application. Can't tell it's even in place. No complaints on that front.
I could do without the circular port on the back of the case, but it does nothing to harm structural integrity and it displays my MS sticker effectively. ;) It will certainly do the same for the Apple logo, however! The thickness of the silicone protects it from most direct scratchin' contact.
My second option in terms of cases was the Otterbox Defender, but I felt the Impact would suffice for day-to-day protection, and thus far this has certainly proven to be true.

I work for the Fire Department and was looking for a rugged case that could stand up to the abuse I was expecting to put it through. After purchasing this product, I am confident my phone is fully protected from the elements. I will say, it does make the product a little bulky, I tend to put my phone in my pocket and not wear it on a belt clip. It's bulky but doable. It was a good purchase and I'm glad I bought it. One thing I will mention about it, is that it didn't come with instructions on how to put it in the case, and it literally took me about 15mins. to figure it out. Also, after market car charges and docking stations will not work with this case because the connection is too deep in the case. Knowing those two things, I would still buy it.


5 out of 5 stars one solid case   September 28, 2009

Case is light weight but gives a good hand grip. It's a real solid case. I dropped my phone from a subway platform to the track 5-ft below. When the maintenance worker retrieved it back for me, the phone didn't even have a single scratch and still works like normal. If you're looking for case to really protect your iPhone, this is it!


5 out of 5 stars Simply Outstanding   September 2, 2009

This case is simply great for my new white Iphone 3Gs. I would never spend $13.00 for skin case, why because i know so many wholesalers where i can get these sort of cases for just a buck or two (infact i bought similar one for two dollars from a wholesaler). As my new 3Gs was so special, i started looking for accessories online and found Otterbox skin case with so many five star ratings and convince myself to go ahead and order one and see the difference. Oh my God, i am so impressed with this new case as i would definitely recommend anyone for it. Its great feel in your hand, quality is outstanding and most of all the protection for the phone is not comparable to any local made skin cases. This quality case with screen protector is absolutely worth the money.


5 out of 5 stars Great for the phone-safety challenged...   March 3, 2010

My husband wouldn't let me get an iphone without this. And I'm glad. Dang phone is way too slippery on it's own and I managed to fling it onto pavement nary a scratch thanks to this. I've actually flung it a few times and the phone is still kicking and in great shape.

I don't use the belt clip (hey, I'm a girl, why in the world would I put that on a belt?!?) and I have no issues with it stretching out as others have. Not sure if that's because they are taking it off frequently?

Anyway, do be careful when buying a car charger for the phone. The case does make it so not all plugs will work, you need to get one that fits the case (I went with Belkin and works like a charm).

Overall, great product for those of us that tend to kill our cell phones every 6 months. knock on wood, I'm actually at 6 months now......
