I've had this product for about 3 months and I'm now searching for a better iPhone protector. Here is why:

1) If the silicone skin isn't aligned perfectly, it covers up the proximity sensors on my iPhone. This means that when I'm talking on the phone the screen will come to life...I have hit the speaker, mute, and other buttons with my cheek. This is a major design flaw in my opinion and the biggest reason to not buy this product.

2) The screen protector is just a solid piece of clear plastic: no pre-cut holes for the home button or ear speaker. I had to take a knife and cut holes in it. My ear speaker hole is about 2mm off and it just looks cheap. There are also bubbles underneath the screen protector. Do yourself a favor and get a fitted screen protector.

3) The silicone is very grippy and it pulls my pocket out of my pants. This means my phone is very difficult to get in and out of my pocket, especially when I'm sitting down in my car and my iPhone rings. It also tends to hold lint and dust inside the cover next to the iPhone. I have to take it off and clean it out every few days.

4) The cover doesn't protect the bottom of the phone very well due to the big hole for the sync cable.

This is why I'm searching for another iPhone case. On the plus side this is an inexpensive cover with an armband, and I will probably just keep it for running and working out. For $12 you get what you pay for.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Fits my iPhone 3G very well, doesn’t jostle around when running or working out, and the price can’t be beat for other products of the same nature in the marketplace.

Buy one if you need one…you won’t be disappointed.

I don’t understand all of the amazing reviews. It’s as basic as basic can be. It’s basically just a rubber thin case for the iPhone with a slot in the back to run the band through. There isn’t anything to protect the screen so I wouldn’t use it if it’s raining. It really doesn’t look very flush when wearing it compared to most armbands. Most armbands you can pull your shirt sleeve over it pretty well, not with this one, it would stick out like crazy. It basically looks like you have an iPhone coming out of your arm instead of an armband with a phone inside. It will wobble if you do any hard activities which is my biggest complaint. It’s just supported by the thin band running through it causing the top and bottom to wobble back and forth in intense activity.
