3 out of 5 stars Very Nice...but   August 9, 2007
 37 out of 40 found this review helpful

Since Im a bit obsessional about my iPhone (who isnt who actually owns one) I have 4 different cases for it.

This one is beautifully made and works very well.
My issues with the case are these:
The corners are cut away. Problem with that is the corners of this device are VERY vulnerable.
I dropped my phone while it was in a Speck Skin case. The power button was damaged because the switch which is on the corner took the impact.
I want a case that truly protects the phone.
I also bought an InCase leather iPhone case. I love this case. It's very slim and it covers the corners and it is hipper looking than the DLO.
The DLO is a bit conservative in it's looks.
Great if you wear wing-tip shoes. I dont.

The Speck skin case uses a clip to hold the phone. Bad idea. My phone popped out of that clip and I wound up having to get my phone repaired. (for $280 all together) Dont buy that case.

So the DLO is a beautiful case.
It's just not my personal style and I worry about those corners.
It's largely a subjective call when it comes to picking a case but I highly recommend the InCase cases.



2 out of 5 stars Nicely made but exposes iPhone to damage   July 13, 2007

The iPhone really needs a horizontal case like this one. It's a bit long and wearing it on your hip vertically makes it uncomfortable and unwieldy when you sit down. Whereas a vertical case eliminated this problem. In terms of looks, I feel horizontal and vertical both look equally as cool but a horizontal case is a lot more convenient, at least to me.

This DLO case is nicely made and seems durable but unfortunetly, there is a flaw in the design: the exposed open parts can make your iPhone very vunerable to scratches. I noticed a fairly deep scratch on the back of my iPhone right where the middle opening on this case is. It could have happened from a zipper, metal button or most probably from a rivet on my jeans coming in contact with the back of the iPhone through the slot. I am switching to another case that covers more of the iPhone.

Just a side note about rubber iPhone cases: I don't like the feel of the rubber cases at all-they feel weird in the hand. And the rubber cases tend to stretch out over time and this lets in dust and grit which can scratch the iPhone. Also Apple recommends you not charge the iPhone will in a rubber case because the heat will not be able to dissipate. This means you have to keep taking it out of the rubber case and putting it back in every time you charge. You can see that these types of cases are less than ideal.

I ordered this case before I even had the iPhone, and I've been very pleased with it. I feel safe in wearing it during the day, at the gym, everywhere. I did originally want one with a belt loop option, but the belt clip has been perfect, and actually, quite sensible. I can take it off anytime without taking off the belt. Easily clip to something (I use the clip to keep the iPhone on my seatbelt while I'm driving for easy access). Great case.


5 out of 5 stars Everything I hoped for.   March 16, 2008

This holster is a winner for me.
It is lightweight and comfortable to wear. The finish and quality of the product are outstanding and the price is reasonable.
You can feel the vibration of the IPhone through the holster and accessing the IPhone is easy.
The inside of the holster provide good protection for the iphone screen.
The clip is tight enough so there is no chance the holster will slipped out of your belt.
Overall an excellent buy



5 out of 5 stars keeps your phone safe if you know how to use it!   December 14, 2007

This is the best case for your iPhone, bar none. I've tried several and have settled on the DLO case for 2 months now and taken it everywhere. Here are the great design features:

a) solid construction: high quality leather, soft padding, stitching that will hold up unless abused with intent!

b) cut-away areas: the corner cut-aways allow for exposure of the earphone jack, the switch on the top, the speaker, and the microphone. The center cut-away allows for easy removal.

Unlike other comments here, I don't see how the cut-aways allow for damage. If you place the iPhone with the glass protected against the solid back, the front panel is completely unexposed to the elements. In contrast, the cut-aways allow you to use the iPhone (especially as an iPod) without removing the iPhone from the case. With only a modest amount of care, it's pretty hard to expose your iPhone to abuse while it is in this high-quality case.

Other features: the velcro closure avoids (a) the magnet closure (since it is recommended to keep the iPhone away from magnets) and (b) the snap-closure (which would require you to press hard against the iPhone). Besides, a velcro closure is no louder than a snap-closure -- unless you are the type that pulls off bandages very, very slowly.

The price is right as well -- and cheaper than I've found in retail stores.

All in all, a great place to keep your iPhone.
