Short Version:
Being that I'm an overprotective person I decided to invest a bit into protecting my Fido IPhone 3g. After reading some posts and doing some online research as well as trying out different cases and sleeves in the apple store I've come to a personal conclusion:
Power Support Anti-Glare Film Set for iPhone 3G + Contour Design Hardskin + Marware "C.E.O.™ Sleeve for iPhone = Satisfying protection.
Quick Facts:
- Marware Sleeve design allows easy access to phone.
- Very comfortable when placing iphone in and out of the Marware Sleeve.
- The Contour Hardskin can fit inside the Marware Sleeve snugly. However loose enough that an overprotective IPhone owner such as myself does not feel concerned.
- Very minor issue - Marware Sleeve velcro can be a bit noticeable in quieter environments. It's velcro what do you expect?
- Anti-Glare film is noticeable to the trained eye. It Does reduce brightness, however by so little that it is not noticeable after a few moments. It actually reminded me I was using roughly 20% brightness. At full brightness couldn't tell a difference.
- Anti-Glare noticeably reduces prints and smudges on the screen. They can still be seen but at a significantly reduced effect. (guesstimate is 60-70% harder to see)
- With Contour Case Hardskin attached, utilizing the Mute Button on the Iphone is difficult as it leaves no access to slip a finger or nail any room to flick up once it is flicked down. (will post pictures in more in-depth review).
For the most part using the above mentioned pieces I am very satisfied with my Iphone protection. Nothing is 100% protected but I think it significantly reduces chances of scratches or fall damage.
Hope that satisfies most questions, that's a wrap for the quick review. I'll post a more in-depth review right after this one.
