the best purchase i have made in a while
i have an iphone. don’t be appalled.
i have gone through what feels like thirty (but has probably been closer to seven) different cases. each of them suffered from some fundamental lack, as far as i have been concerned. the portfolio-style holster from incase meant that it wasn’t protected when i took it out the case to, you know, use it. i had the griffin cork case, which was nice, but it made the phone too bulky to fit in my pocket, took on the color of my pants and jitzed around with my hearing ability.
finally, someone has gotten it right.
incase recently introduced the slider case, and i have been looking forward to it. it’s not so thick that it bulks up a truly splendidly thin phone, but it also offers real protection. it doesn’t block any of the ports, nor the side or top buttons. but the real genius of this is in the functionality. i plug my phone into the dock that came with my bluetooth headset every day. and i never have to take the case off. that’s because the slider comes with a detachable bottom section that conforms to the angle at which the iphone sits in the dock. that means you get hard case protection without giving up the comfort of using the dock to charge and sync your iphone. i love this thing.
