I've found one i really like as it has a built in feature which other cases do not have. only problem is i can't find these in the Uk? does anyone know where i can get one from?

One of my good friends has that case, and i can assure you that 'feature' is nothing more than a gimmick. The case also feels horrible (clunky and not ergonomic) in your hand compared to something thats very similar like the Incase Slider (which feels lush!)

The lens thingy also had scratched the back of his iPhone where it's been repeatedly slid across. Don't recommend this one at all


OK thanks for letting me know i will stay away from this one then.

Is it just me or are you just trying to up your post count so you get a 'solid' avatar????

@julias

The best thing to do really is just go down to an Apple Store and try on a few cases to get an idea of which type you want. O2 and CPW stores have a limited selection, but it's always worth having a look in there also.

oh yeah of course, there's nothing like first hand experience. Like with that Griffin Clarify case i was telling you about, you would have never known about the problem of it scratching the back if you just went in to the shop to look at it and bought it.

Another case i've owned is the Contour Flick, basically to summarise it is a good throw-away case... comes in either black or white, allows the iPhone to be docked without removing the case. It's a plastic jobby, but doesnt offer complete protection of the silver bezel, or any protection for the bottom of the phone around the silver bezel. I really only used it as a temporary solution, and i wouldnt recommend it for long-term. It's expensive @ £20 for what you get - just literally the piece of plastic and thats it. So that would be one to avoid.

What sort of cases are you warming to, leather? Plastic? Silicone?

I really don't mind about the price as long as they are of very good quality and protect my phone properly but nice looking at the same time.
