I needed a new case for my iPhone 3G after I lost the bottom part of my incase case that I had since I got my phone. I had constant problems with the old slip case because the bottom part would always fall off when I took it out of my pocket. I found this leather carbon fibre case and thought it looked good. When I received it I was impressed by the look and fit of it. It made the phone nicer to talk on, the leather is wonderfully soft and it comes with a new screen protector. The phone fits in nice and snug and doesn't fall out but will come out easily if you push the bottom of it. It protects the entire phone, but leaves the top of it showing, though if you were to drop it, the case would most likely protect the top and sides and it would not crack. It would take a freak/perfect drop to really do any damage to the phone itself. Overall I think it is a great product and am very happy with the purchase.
