Why use a case? Because the silent switch will catch the fabric in your pockets, and turn off (i.e. turn on the ringer). I prefer the excess around the silent switch just because it prevents that from happening.

I'd been entirely anti-case before having the above happen several times. This case is nice because it's minimal, has a good texture, and keeps your phone from sliding around. As implied above, it is a pain to put in/take out of pockets.

These cases all prohibit the iphone from dissipating heat. the phone was engineered to not need a case.. why put one on? just enjoy the sleekness.

One other thing….it is NOT very strong. My 2 year old was playing with my phone….he likes watching movies or looking at pics on it (and can do both without any help) and after he was finished, he handed me the phone back, and the case WHICH WAS NOW IN TWO PIECES!! I looked at it, and it seems he removed it, grabbed it by the speaker/mic/charging opening, and pulled it apart. It split in two!! So much for that. I now ave it in a leather case, which he can’t figure how to take off. It adds a “lip” around the screen, which is not that bad, since it gives you a place to hold on.

Has anyone found a soft case for the iPhone that isn’t a pain to get in and out of your pocket?

How would you say this compares in thickness to the Marware Sport Grip? I've been using that for a month or so and have found it works pretty well, however it does add a bit more bulk than I'd like. I'm just not sure if it can get any thinner.

Also, how do the front portions of the grip hold up? Do they puff out due to the lack of a rigid material? The Marware is a little susceptible to this.

Thanks.
