PDair has introduced a wide variety of cases for the iPhone 3G. In leather, the company is offering two vertical flip-style cases — one with a snap closure and one without — in both standard and crocodile-textured leathers, and in a variety of colors. Both flip cases feature open access to ports and controls, and contrast stitching. The Flip Type case with snap closure sells for $28 with standard leather and $32 with crocodile patterned leather, while the non-snap model sells for $35 in normal leather and $38 in crocodile patterned leather. In addition, both horizontal and vertical pouch-style leather cases are available, with the vertical model available in both normal and crocodile patterned leather, with or without a belt clip, while the horizontal pouch is available in both normal and crocodile patterned leather, and features a magnetic closure and included belt clip. Both the Vertical and Horizontal Pouch cases sell for $28 for the standard leather models and $32 in crocodile patterned leather.

I’ll be interested to see if the aluminum case causes any problems with 3G reception. The popular (but unconfirmed) reason for the iPhone’s switch from metal backing to plastic was supposedly to prevent interference with the 3G radio.

I just recieved the PDair leather case for my Itouch 32gb. Non-snap crocodial version in brown.
What I got was not the same color as advertised. I got a very bleeched out color compared to what the website showed.
My Itouch fits in the sleeve but the cover doesn’t fit over top.
I would return it but it was shipped from Hong Kong.
This is a case for the drawer. Rating F.
I like the design and the belt clip but not as advertised.
