Contour Hardskin for iPhone 3G
I bought the the Contour Hardskin last week for my iPhone 3G and so far I’m liking it a lot. I’ve always liked hard plastic cases with rubber finish exteriors, and that’s exactly what this is. The hard plastic makes for a very secure fit that won’t come off like some silicon skins. The rubber finish feels secure in contrast to the slippery feel of the 3G. Unlike silicon cases the Contour Hardskin won’t get stuck in your pocket due to stickiness. The cover also comes with button cover inserts for the volume and sleep button but I didn’t really give them a try.
The only problem with it is that the case makes it hard to push the silent switch back to ring. It will take some getting used to and probably requires two-hands. The other issue I have with the case is that for the $30 price tag it should come with a clear screen protector but it doesn’t. Normally cases come with poor screen protectors that you end up throwing away but it makes you feel better about your purchase.
In the end I paired my Contour Hardskin with a Power Support Anti-Glare Film. Both of these items can be found at the Apple Store.
how’s that anti-glare film? i was thinking maybe i should get one for my ipod touch.
It’s pretty fantastic. I love the feel of it. Plus it uses static cling technology so no sticky residue. Be extremely careful when you apply it though. You only get a couple chances to do it cleanly.
