   This is a great case for preventing scratches on the back of the iphone. This case is much better than the Elago version, as other users have stated. This is because the case goes up and over the sides of the iphone, providing protection for the chrome edges. My one concern is that the case (while slightly bendable) will not give much drop protection, although because it is made of polycarbonate, it might protect the phone from a short distance drop. The silver is an excellent color choice and is unobtrusive. The whole case is slim and slick without being slippery. It will not get stuck in your pocket. I would recommend buying a self-adhesive iphone screen protector with this case. Also, the case does NOT protect the top and bottom of the iphone where the dock port and headphone ports are. I feel the case could have been made to leave holes for these items like many cases do, and like it did for the volume and vibrate controls on the sides.

   If you’re looking for a case that preserves the sleek beauty of the iphone, and if you plan on treating your iphone relatively nicely, then this is definitely a good choice. Combined with a screen protector (self adhesive, as this case doesn’t quite go up and over the lip of the phone to hold most screen protectors in place), this provides moderate to substantial scratch protection, but probably little drop protection. The silver is a great choice for black iphones, but if you want something even more seamless, try the black. White iphone users will appreciate the white color choice.

   Looks great, no protection
   I have tried so many cases. This one looks the best. But it is not for protection against drops, just scratches.

   Awesome case
   Great case for the back of your iPhone. There are a couple of small caveats, however. First, the circle on the back means your Apple symbol may get scratched.

   Firstly I purchased the white version, for use on a white iPhone 3G.

   Pros: Does not compromise the size of the iPhone too much, I had gone almost a full year without a case because one of the things I liked about the iPhone was its sleek appearance. Fits on nicely, protects the corners of the phone (where my dropped phones seem to land). Largely stays clean. Soft touch finish. Low cost is low risk.

   Cons: With the cutout on I seem to need to use my fingernail to engange silent mode, whereas previously I could use my finger. I personally do not like the logo window especially since after awhile lint and dust seems to collect around the edges of the window.

   Bottom Line: If you want a case that’s not going to make your iPhone appreciably more cumbersome or garish while offering protection from low height drops or scuffing you cant go wrong here. Plus at a low price point you can afford for this to get beat up and buy a new case every few months.

   I wanted a low profile case that didn’t appear garish, or make the phone much larger, stumbled on this while casually looking around Amazon and with the cost it was too good to pass up. At first dirt seemed to stick to the white cover, but after handling it for awhile that does not seem to be an issue. Also personally I would prefer to not have the logo hole, but I can imagine those that would still like to sport the apple.

   This is bar far the best case for the 3G iphone and trust me I have tried many of them. Its sleek and offers a great design that does not take away from the slim, nice low profile while giving the phone a solid grip. It doesn’t add any bulk and fits very snug. I am not the only one who loves this case. Check out all the positive reviews on the Black one I bought awhile awhile back SHIELD Apple 3G iPhone Shield Polycarbonate Slim Fit Case + Microfiber Cleaning Cloth – (Black) I came back to Amazon looking for this case to buy one for my brother who just got his iphone and came across this listing. I was pleased to see they now offer these other great color options. I just picked up a few extra colors so I can change the look of my iphone depending on my mood. Fantastic!!!

   Sleek, Simple and Superb
   After buying my iPhone 3G, I tried almost 10 different cases. EaCh one of those was either too bulky or made the phone look stupid.

   Best slim case for iPhone 3G
   I have used Elago slim case and the Elago case was so fragile and got broken at the corners very easily.

   Clear – Very Nice
   I ordered a clear one recently but don’t see it as an option at the moment. I hope it isn’t gone for good, as my wife wanted one and at some point I’ll probably need to replace…

   Love this type of case
   Had one just like it for the original iPhone. This one has a much nicer texture to it. Makes for a great feel in your hand.

    Solid case
    Trusty and solid. I would definitely buy another one but I don’t think I’ll need to. Very worth the affordable price.

    Pretty case, crappy quality
    When I first got this case I was so excited about the color and the style. But after owning for a little over a week and just from daily use, the finish is wearing off everywhere…

    I love it!!!
    I ordered the case in clear color. It arrived a couple days later..super fast. The case fits perfectly on my iPhone 3G S.

    Fantastic Case
    I accidentally lost my first shield slim fit case. I tried and tried several different cases, but none had the sleek fit and feel of the Shield slim fit case.
