Nite Ize Crocs o-dial Case for iPhone - accessory review [Contest]
The Nite Ize Crocs o-dial Case for iPhone is the case for Croc-lovers and if that's you it just might be the best thing you've ever seen. If you are way past the Croc wave, however, then this may look more like an accessory abortion. Either way, pro or con, this case is going to be so divisive that I just had to review -- and see it in person. Epic or train wreck? Follow on after the break to find out!
The Nite Ize Crocs o-dial case for iPhone looks like small replicas of Crocs, the foam clogs originally designed for the Quebec spa scene but that have since become popular worldwide. They look so much like the shoes I wonder if they are just small child's Crocs that someone added a belt clip to. 
They come with a lanyard and a accessory sleeve so you can put some cash in with your iPhone. What they don't come with is anything is the way of port or button cutouts aside from the patterned "croc" holes. That means you have to treat the Crocs o-dial like a pouch and take your iPhone out if you want to use it for anything.
The Nite Ize Crocs o-dial Case for iPhone is available now from the TiPb iPhone accessory store.

Cute case i want it
Does it come with socks? I love crocs with socks.
I know a few nurses that would rock that case at work....
I threw up in my mouth a little when I saw this product.
my god that is hideous
I'd rather carry my iPhone around in a brown paper bag.
2 or 3, but anyway,i am sure there are some people who will love it. i'm not one of them.
You had me at 'accessory abortion'.
It's really cute but I wouldn't pay that much for it. Especially if it's as hard to get the phone in and out of (as it looks).
Georgia, this was the mist hilarious review I've seen you do yet!! I watched it after a long day of work and needed the laughs!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Oh my God, I would pay them NOT to send me one. I'm off to gouge my eyes with a grapefruit spoon.
@HickoryShampoo Oh that sounds painful !!!!
@India Thanks happy you enjoyed it
keep making crappy stuff thumbs up! at least crock fan girls, cause hopefully only girls buy this kinda thing will appreciate it
LOL my wife would go nuts for this...
HAHA Thats awesome. That crocks case is cool, but wanna escape the "plain black" and still be Flashy but Classy?
Originally made for iPhone 3G or 3GS it was designed for keeping the phone facing toward the inside and apple logo facing out. I had on ip until yesterday when the hot Louisiana sun destroyed it. I used it a lot. It is very durable and functional at a pouch to stay on your belt and hold the phone. I have dropped it with the phone in it many many times and never had a broken phone. I loved this case and really would like another one. I had a red and black one and got it for 5 bucks from AT&T about 1.5 or 2 years ago.
