I just bought this thing. I put it on and proceeded to miss the first incoming call because the square design and rubber made it almost impossible to get out of my pocket. Back in the box with the receipt and about to head back to the Oakley store.

This case is realy nice and useful! I’m a wildlife photographer and this cover is what I needed for a forest tour..
And it reminds me the “Blame!” manga style of Tsutomu Nihei, one of my preferred manga artists.
I’ll buy one for sure…

I have cracked two cases by dropping my phone. The phone was protected, but the case broke both times. A buddy has this Oakley case and loves it. To demonstrate it to me, he tossed his phone on the ground (concrete) and it bounced like a ball. The phone was totally protected. I was surprised that it only cost $30.00. The decorative cases cost that much and more. It fits well too. The phone won’t fall out. It is bit bulky, but very industrial and tough.
