Superb Case
A superb case for the iPhone; by far the best one that I have bought. The attention to detail is very impressive; there are covers for all the exposed ports and the case itself fits like a glove. It even comes with a small stand! Highly recommended.

Excellent, but beware of screen protector
Having just acquired my iPhone and wanting to keep it shiny and new, I was looking for a good case. I wanted something that was sleek and didn't add too much to the bulk of the iPhone itself. After searching around and reading reviews, including those here, I decided to go for this case. It is well engineered, be it only silicon rubber and plastic. It fits very well and will protect the phone from abrasions and low-impact knocks. It looks good too, although I prefer to see the iPhone in its naked state to be honest.
The only problem I have is with the screen protector. As pointed out by another reviewer, this proved impossible to apply without some specks of dust getting underneath. I spent some considerable time making sure the iPhone was spotlessly clean and used the microfibre cloth included with the kit to give it a final rub down. However, I believe the rubbing actually causes a build up of static which tends to attract dust. When you expose the adhesive side of the screen protector by peeling off the protective backing, this also seems to cause static. After being extremely careful with the first screen protector (two are provided) I still managed to trap a speck of dust in the last 5mm of screen. Being even more careful with the second protector, I still failed to apply it perfectly. I guess you need to be in the cleanest place you can be and be extremely careful if you want to apply it successfully. On the parts where the protector went on without dust, it is almost undetectable.
The kit also includes protectors for the the docking port and the earphone socket, but I can't get them to stay in. They simply fall out once you start using the phone.
The kit includes two silicon rubber body covers, two screen protectors, a cleaning cloth, an applicator (squeegee) for the screen protector, the hard body cover parts and the socket protectors.
Easy to apply and good looking. Overall, very good, but be aware of the screen protector.

Postscript: I've had it just over a month now and I've changed my mind. I have to say it looks pretty tatty, with the casing scratched, the rubber sleeve grubby and the screen protector peeling off. I might as well have left the case off and got the phone tatty - the visual effect is the same. I have removed it and consigned it to a drawer and bought a cheap leather flip-case, which I think is much smarter.

Beautiful sleek professional looking case
This case is great in many ways. It looks smart, it's easy to fit and protects the iphone perfectly. The case has 3 sections to it.

First you have to fit a little flexible silicon type jacket over the back of the phone to add a little extra protect layer (I was really pleased with this as it ensures the silver trim won't be scratched by the case.

Then you fit an "H" style plastic backing that clips around the iphone on both sides, before fitting the vertical section that clips over the top and bottom.

It's perfectly secure and makes the iphone look great. You get heaps of extra stuff with it too: an extra silicon jacket, couple of screen protectors, a screen cloth, a plastic cover to fit over the USB lead connection (to stop dust build up - it's easy to remove when needed though) and also a little cover to slot into the headphone socket to protect that too!

Overall, I'm delighted with this case. I've tried others and didn't like them for all different reasons but this one suits me fine.

Also, well done Amazon. Yet again brilliant service. I ordered on Friday lunchtime and had it delivered by midday Saturday. Perfect!
