First Look: Marware CustomShell + SportShell Convertible for iPhone 4

By Jeremy HorwitzMay 15, 2021 8:16 am UTC

While SportShell Convertible ($45) is an updated version of a same-named case for the iPhone 3G/3GS, featuring a combination of a hard plastic shell with a soft neoprene armband, one rear piece for belt clip or armband mounting, and a second piece with a flat, opaque back, CustomShell ($30) is a little different. The design is similar, using two glossy hard plastic pieces that wrap around the iPhone 4’s metal center while holding a rear cover in place, but this time, the back plate is both transparent and molded with a groove capable of holding a business card or a similarly sized piece of artwork — there to customize the look of your iPhone or identify the owner. Neither case includes the screen protectors or cleaning cloths previously packaged with Marware’s cases.
