The item is overpriced and comes with several accessories that I will never use, in fact I've already thrown away most of them. The useless pieces are (1) The film that goes over the screen (it cuts down on the phone's usefulness since it makes the screen hard to see), (2) The snap-on plastic cover that needs to be removed every time you use the iPhone, (3) The little plug for the docking jack (are they kidding?), and (4) The little plastic cover for the camera lens (ditto). Also, the case must be removed when you use Apple's phone dock. The case itself seems to be fine, but there are several cheaper iPhone cases that don't come with all this stuff.

The only thing that i have to say is that this is the best iphone skin ever.
 Very good, but not perfect. November 8, 2007
I bought this case after doing quite a bit of research. I carry my phone in my pocket and I knew sooner or later I would drop my new iPhone. I wanted something that provided good protection, did not detract from functionality, and did not add too much bulkiness so I'll focus on those three areas.
1) Protection. So far so good. I have not dropped my phone yet with the skin on; however, the case is made of a rubbery material, built very well (easy to install without tearing), and will probably handle most common drops.
2) Detraction from functionality. This is the only area I have issues with the product. It comes with the case, a privacy screen filter/protector, and plastic, snap-on screen cover. The skin fits well and slips on easily. The camera, speakers and microphone are not impeded at all.
a. You cannot use the touch screen with the hard plastic screen cover that comes with the case which means you have to pull it off and place it somewhere everytime you want to touch your iPhone's screen. After misplacing the cover three times the first day I had the case, I decided to discard it. It was too much of a hassle.
b. With the case on, the buttons on the iPhone have to be pushed a little harder, but that did not really bother me. If you do not have good hand strenghth (my grandmother would not like this case) you will probably not appreciate the extra effort required to press the volume button and the sleep/wake buttons.
c. The bottom of the phone has a little extra bulk now so I cannot fit my phone into the docking station. The iSkin company has an adapter for $30 (retail) so you if have other accessories you dock with, you might need one. I'm just using the USB cable that came with my phone to charge it and it works just fine. I was using the docking station, but not now. You might find this slightly annoying depending on whether you dock or not.
d. The Ring/Silent button is a little more recessed now and have to push in with my finger nail to flick the switch. I keep my nails short so this is a slight annoyance for me. You may not have a problem with this if you have longer nails.
e. The screen filter/protector allows you to use the touch screen normally, but detracts from the clarity and brightness of the screen. The filter is also supposed to provide privacy, but it only works along the long axis of the phone. That means if you are holding your phone upright people along side of you can still see your screen, but not people to your front. If you hold it sideways the opposite is true. I'm probably going to remove this soon only because I miss how glossy and bright my screen was. It's kind of similar to the difference between looking at a glossy-finished photo and a matte-finished one. I prefer glossy.
f. That deep-seated audio accessory jack just got a little deeper. If you have an L-shaped male adapter that currently works with you iPhone, then you might have a problem with it. The headphone cable that comes with the iPhone works just fine.
3) Bulkiness. I was pleasantly surprised here. I was worried the case would detract from the phone's ability to slip easily out of my pocket. The additional friction resulting from rubber sliding against the material in my pocket is very slight and has not annoyed me. The clothes I wear have big pockets and are loose fitting so if you wear tight pants and keep your phone in your pocket, this could be a problem.
That's about it. It's a great case. I just nit-picked a great deal. Some of these issues will probably exist with any skin protector.
