 An Elegant Solution to Protect your new 3G iPhone July 20, 2008

Marware does it again. The case fits perfectly to the 3G iPhone. It comes with a thin clear protector for the screen. (Do not get crumbs or anything on thin clear screen protector prior to sticking it on the iPhone, otherwise those crumbs will create air bubbles on the screen and annoy you forever...) All buttons and iPhone functions work with the case attached. Easy to take on and off. The case may not fit in all docks, but removing the case is a cinch. I highly recommend picking up on of these cases.
Excellent grip and low profile for the iPhone 3G August 9, 2008

It's a pity having to cover up the beauty of the black iPhone and, in an effort to show off the back of the phone, I had bought a clear plastic case for the phone. That case had proved too slippery and didn't offer enough protection for the buttons. The Marware case, on the other hand, offers a nice balance between protection and beauty. On the protection front, all the buttons are protected save for the silence switch and a screen protector (which I'm not using) is thrown in as well. On the beauty front, the case isn't too thick so the silhouette of the iPhone 3G isn't made much bulkier. Hand-feel is excellent, with the case being grippy but not so much so as to make removal from a pocket too difficult. I'd describe the feel of the material as velvety. At it's current street price, this case is a bargain for the quality of the material and its appearance. I heartily recommend it.

This case does a great job protecting my phone and more importantly feels good and secure when using the phone. I like how it is sort of tacky helping prevent slippage. I also really like how it wraps around the phone and covers pretty much everything (including the buttons) except the screen. HOWEVER, this things is a HUGE lint magnet. Sometimes it looks like your iphone is covered in felt and you are playing with a teddy bear. The other annoying thing is that although the clear screen protector included with the case is fairly nice it actually scratches which is just plain odd/ironic. Not only does it scratch from stuff that might be in your pockets it develops streak marks from your fingers especially at the bottom of the screen where you have to slide your finger to unlock your phone. I do still use the case because it feels the most secure in my hands especially when typing but it is kind of embarrassing as I have had a couple of people comment on the hairiness of my iphone...
a perfect case August 12, 2008

This is an ideal case for the iPhone 3G. It is comfortable (the surface feels almost velvety), yet offers a secure grip when holding. Very thin and light, too, and for whatever reason the surface attracts no dust or lint at all. I only wish it came in more colors.
 Nice case...almost perfect August 21, 2008

I'm on my third iPhone 3G case, and I think this one's probably the keeper. I tend to switch cases between work and non-work hours, because a phone can get beat up at my shop, but this one might just allow me to use the same case for both.
One of my previous cases is the DLO Jam Jacket, which offers more fall protection than this Marware case, but doesn't cover the upper earpiece area of the phone. It's bigger and grippier, but not as elegant; it makes the phone look more "industrial" (which is good or bad depending on your opinion. I kind of like that look). It has sloppy manufacturing though, with ragged holes and seam-flash, but is one of the grippiest cases I've tried, making it difficult to remove from my pocket. The DLO case has the best home button protection I've seen on a case, with a raised square in the middle that is just so natural to push.
I also own a Switcheasy Rebel case. Very nice case, with tight manufacturing tolerances, and comes with a connector protector which covers the connector area on the bottom of the phone, which is great for keeping dust out. My only real issue with that case is that it doesn't cover enough of the face of the phone; it leaves it wide open, with home button and earpiece areas completely exposed. Not the best thing if you happen to drop your phone (and if you haven't yet, you will).
This Marware case offers decent fall protection (not as good as the DLO, though) and excellent protection of the home button and earpiece areas. Don't buy a case that doesn't have the cutouts for the proximity sensor and light sensor like this Marware does, or you'll have the issue people have complained about with such cases: constant screen brightness and accidentally hanging up on calls because the phone doesn't sense when it's at your ear or away from it. The SportGrip has no such issues.
The home button isn't as nice to use on this case as the DLO; it really needs a raised area in the middle to match that case's excellent feel, but the DLO doesn't cover the earpiece area. As others have said, the Marware does have a "velvety" feel, and really isn't very grippy at all, but it's easily removed from pockets. It's a nice balance, but doesn't feel as secure in the hand as the super-sticky DLO. I can't agree that it doesn't collect lint or dust, although not as much as the DLO.
The button protectors on this Marware are quite nice. They protrude positively, so that when you're on a call and want to adjust the volume, you never have to look at the phone.
I wish Marware would include a connector cover, and improve the home button protector for a more positive feel, but otherwise this is a nice balance of grip, protection and quality.
