I ordered this case. Got it in the mail today, and I must say I don’t like it at all. It is a pain in the ### to get on (and off) and it makes the phone look really cheap… Not at all what I was hoping.

I have to agree with Scott. Total waste of money and not at all what I expected. I’m trying to get a refund.
DO NOT BUY THESE!

These are garbage plain and simple. Took it off within 2 minutes.
Complete garbage.
Save your money

I wish I waited long enough to read the other comments to stay away from the cases.
The colors are not even remotely close to what is pictured above. I also could have done a better job cutting the openings on the case for things like the hold switch.
I’ve only had them for a few minutes, but I’m just immediately disappointed. I don’t even care about durability.

EEwwww! I just received mine in the mail and bought both the orange and black Shades. They are CRAP! They look cheap and I’m going to send mine back for a refund. I don’t like the way they feel-its like putting on a thick ziplock bag on your iPhone 3G. Don’t buy these. They suck!

I have ordered one and it has been shipped already.
Will see how it looks, there is a video on YouTube and it looks OK there.
Now you have got me all worried.

I dont agree, I ordered 2 cases for the 3G and one for the iphone and both me and my wife love them, maybe colour choice is the important part, I bought the black and clear and blue ones for the 3G they both look great, and so much easier to put in my top pocket.
