Review: Contour Design iSee iPhone v3
At first glance, Contour Design’s $30 iSee iPhone v3 () looks a lot like Contour Design’s original iSee for iPhone. It’s still a solid-feeling, snap-on, clear-polycarbonate case with a plastic holster, but the iSee v3 has some subtle differences that make it a different case than its predecessor. The major...

Review: iPhone headphone adapter roundup
Last year, soon after the iPhone was released, we took a look at iPhone headphone adapters—short cables that let you use any headphones with the iPhone's recessed headphone jack—from Belkin and RadTech. Since then, a number of vendors have released similar products. Because these cables are essentially minor variations on...

Review: MCA Rub iPhone Pack
What's better than one silicone case? If you said two silicone cases, you're two-thirds of the way there. The answer, of course, is three silicone cases. MCA's Rub iPhone Pack ( mice" id="mouse">) is a set of three such cases—black, white, and purple—along with a screen protector, all for just...

Review: Scosche Clear case for iPhone
What can be said about Scosche's $25 Clear case for iPhone () that hasn't been already said about similar hardshell iPhone cases? Precious little, in fact, so let's cut right to the chase: it's a two-piece—front and back—transparent-plastic case fashioned from polycarbonate, and including a thin, adhesive-film screen protector. There...

Review: PDO TopSkin for iPhone
Silicone skins to the left of us, silicone skins to the right of us! They're everywhere we turn nowadays. Like many of them, PDO's $20 TopSkin for iPhone () provides lightweight protection for your handset without hampering your use of its features and controls. Available in four colors (black, blue,...

Review: Tekkeon Hard Case with Soft Touch for iPhone
Tekkeon's $30 Hard Case with Soft Touch for the iPhone () is a hardshell iPhone case...with a twist. Or, more accurately, a flip. Available in five colors, its most distinctive feature is a hard-plastic screen protector that flips up to let you use the iPhone's touchscreen, and back down to...

Review: Power Support Crystal Jacket Set for iPhone
Power Support's $30 Crystal Jacket Set for iPhone ( mice" id="mouse">) is another in that long line of time-honored combinations: a clear plastic iPhone case paired with belt holster. Like many of its ilk, the Crystal Jacket comprises two pieces—front and back—that snap together with the iPhone in the middle....

Review: GizMac Titan Clear for iPhone
By now, you might think that we'd seen every plastic/polycarbonate case that's been made for the iPhone. Ever. But, just like delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies, there's always room for one more. So it is with GizMac's $35 Titan Clear for iPhone (; $25 if you opt to go without...

Review: Seidio Rubberized Spring Clip Holster for Unskinned iPhone
I admit I was a little skeptical of Seidio's $30 Rubberized Spring Clip Holster for Unskinned iPhone after my first encounter with it. The simple holster uses a mostly-open design with only two small, curved brackets at the bottom and a spring clip at the top for keeping the iPhone...

Review: Belkin Acrylic Case for iPhone
Belkin's $30 Acrylic Case for iPhone is like many other plastic iPhone cases on the market these days: it's transparent, protects most of your iPhone from damage, and--most importantly--doesn't get in the way of using the phone. The Acrylic Case consists of two halves that sandwich the iPhone between them:...

Review: Contour Design iSee for iPhone
I'm not usually a huge fan of holster cases; there's something about them that makes me feel a little too corporate. I also worry from time to time—perhaps irrationally—about the phone falling out of the holster and being dashed into a million pieces. Still, I can understand the appeal of...

Review: Incipio ECOcase
With its brown canvas covering and "pouch" design, Incipio’s earthy-looking Ecocase ($20) provides almost complete coverage of the iPhone—once you slide in your iPhone, nearly all its surfaces are protected. Of course, as with all pouch cases, you have to take your iPhone out of the Ecocase to access the...

Review: Incipio Executive Ovrmld
Incipio’s Executive Ovrmld ($25) combines leather and plastic to create a protective shell for your iPhone. The only parts of the iPhone that the case leaves exposed are the ones that need to be—the touchscreen, Home button, receiver speaker, and sensors on the front; the speaker, microphone, and dock-connector port...

Review: Marware Sidewinder for iPhone
The advent of the iPhone has prompted so many case manufacturers to come up with holster-based designs that it's difficult, at times, to tell all of them apart. At least Marware's $25 Sidewinder for iPhone has one distinctive feature: its retractable arm for managing those unwieldy iPhone earbuds. But beyond...

Review: OtterBox Defender for iPhone

Review: Incase Protective Cover for iPhone
With a name like Protective Cover for iPhone, where can you really go wrong? Well, you may need to start by putting asterisks next to "cover." Incase's offering is a $30 molded rubber case for the iPhone that has its fair share of strengths and weaknesses. Using the Protective Cover...

Review: OtterBox Armor Series for iPhone
I'm a klutz with...well, everything. If I can drop it, I will drop it, no matter what it is. I've destroyed several laptops--including my beloved 12-inch PowerBook G4--and multiple iPods because of unpreventable clumsiness, and I've come to accept the fact that I'll often have to buy a product several...

Holster cases are often the choice of those who need to be able to get at their phone at a moment's notice. Incase's $40 Leather Folio for iPhone is a horizontally-oriented holster case for your iPhone, and while it may not be the quickest draw on the block, it's still...
