CellShields is now offering its Hard Case Cover Skin for the iPhone 3G and 3GS. The plastic case provides access to all ports and controls, and notably features an Apple logo—which also functions as a snap point for the two-piece design—in the center of the back. Available in a variety of two-tone color combinations, CellShields’ Hard Case Cover Skin for the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS is available now and sells for $10 for matte plastic models or $12.50 for combination matte and metallic plastic units.

Oh no they didn’t.

Their website says this “Our store is closed. We are out stock of shields. More soon!”. Those Apple lawyers work fast!

So now we can only use those stupid cut out cases to see the Apple logo
Sorry, I was actually interested in this case as I did like my Neo, but wanted different colors.
Thanks Apple, I’ll continue to await Project Pink from Microsoft
