 Nice iPhone protector August 26, 2008
I looked at a number of covers for my iPhone. Many were too bulky (counteracting one of the nicest features of the iPhone), cheaply made, or were just not very protective. I like to carry my iPhone in my pocket since I don't like to wear a phone on my belt. With the MarWare cover and a protective film over the glass, I feel my iPhone is quite protected against the usual bumps (haven't dropped it yet), it still feels slim and trim, and it fits nicely in my pocket. The grip tends to pick up dust and lint rather easily, but it is quickly wiped off. I need to occasionally remove the grip to clean around the edges of the screen, but that is once a month at best. I highly recommend this cover.
 Fuzzy Wazzy was this iPhone Case August 24, 2008
This case does a great job protecting my phone and more importantly feels good and secure when using the phone. I like how it is sort of tacky helping prevent slippage. I also really like how it wraps around the phone and covers pretty much everything (including the buttons) except the screen. HOWEVER, this things is a HUGE lint magnet. Sometimes it looks like your iphone is covered in felt and you are playing with a teddy bear. The other annoying thing is that although the clear screen protector included with the case is fairly nice it actually scratches which is just plain odd/ironic. Not only does it scratch from stuff that might be in your pockets it develops streak marks from your fingers especially at the bottom of the screen where you have to slide your finger to unlock your phone. I do still use the case because it feels the most secure in my hands especially when typing but it is kind of embarrassing as I have had a couple of people comment on the hairiness of my iphone...
 Buyers Remorse August 22, 2008
Buy a cover/case that has a flip down lid thing so that the touch screen face is not constantly getting scratched in your purse/pocket.
Nice case...almost perfect August 21, 2008
I'm on my third iPhone 3G case, and I think this one's probably the keeper. I tend to switch cases between work and non-work hours, because a phone can get beat up at my shop, but this one might just allow me to use the same case for both.
One of my previous cases is the DLO Jam Jacket, which offers more fall protection than this Marware case, but doesn't cover the upper earpiece area of the phone. It's bigger and grippier, but not as elegant; it makes the phone look more "industrial" (which is good or bad depending on your opinion. I kind of like that look). It has sloppy manufacturing though, with ragged holes and seam-flash, but is one of the grippiest cases I've tried, making it difficult to remove from my pocket. The DLO case has the best home button protection I've seen on a case, with a raised square in the middle that is just so natural to push.
I also own a Switcheasy Rebel case. Very nice case, with tight manufacturing tolerances, and comes with a connector protector which covers the connector area on the bottom of the phone, which is great for keeping dust out. My only real issue with that case is that it doesn't cover enough of the face of the phone; it leaves it wide open, with home button and earpiece areas completely exposed. Not the best thing if you happen to drop your phone (and if you haven't yet, you will).
This Marware case offers decent fall protection (not as good as the DLO, though) and excellent protection of the home button and earpiece areas. Don't buy a case that doesn't have the cutouts for the proximity sensor and light sensor like this Marware does, or you'll have the issue people have complained about with such cases: constant screen brightness and accidentally hanging up on calls because the phone doesn't sense when it's at your ear or away from it. The SportGrip has no such issues.
The home button isn't as nice to use on this case as the DLO; it really needs a raised area in the middle to match that case's excellent feel, but the DLO doesn't cover the earpiece area. As others have said, the Marware does have a "velvety" feel, and really isn't very grippy at all, but it's easily removed from pockets. It's a nice balance, but doesn't feel as secure in the hand as the super-sticky DLO. I can't agree that it doesn't collect lint or dust, although not as much as the DLO.
The button protectors on this Marware are quite nice. They protrude positively, so that when you're on a call and want to adjust the volume, you never have to look at the phone.
I wish Marware would include a connector cover, and improve the home button protector for a more positive feel, but otherwise this is a nice balance of grip, protection and quality.
a perfect case August 12, 2008

This is an ideal case for the iPhone 3G. It is comfortable (the surface feels almost velvety), yet offers a secure grip when holding. Very thin and light, too, and for whatever reason the surface attracts no dust or lint at all. I only wish it came in more colors.
