Customer Reviews

I liked it but the clip broke4
I liked this protector. THe rubbery case surrounded the iphone very well and was easy to remove.

Pros:
1. Did not add bulk and does protect.
2. Clip is small and did not bruiise my hip ( as others have done.)
3. Swivel works OK.
4. Can be used without the clip.

Cons:
1. I snagged the holster and broke off the clip. After the clip broke, I found the PDO sells replacement clips 2 for $5 with free shipping. www.pdostore.com
2. The rubbery case does not slide against fabric. Cannot slip into a pocket. (This may be a Pro in some cases because it also cannot easily slip OUT of a pocket.)
3. Have to partially remove the case to dock. This is easy but still a little inconvenient.

Great protection, but for how long?3
I bought this product when I first got my iPhone 3G about 9 months ago. I was attracted to the protection offered without adding too much bulk. This, along with my screen covers have kept my phone in pristine condition. A couple of months after getting my iPhone I was showing off the accelerometer feature to my son-in-law with a golfing app. As he was following through with his golf swing, he released his grip on the phone as it flew up, hit the ceiling hard, and then bounced on the floor. Absolutely no damage to the phone! I also like that this seems to be the only case that completely covers all the ports. Every other case I have seen has a large rectangular hole on the bottom where pocket lint can jam in the USB connector slot. Now for the downside. I have used 3 replacement clips since I got this case bacause the 2-piece clip mechanism seems to just wear out after a couple of months, and does not provide a secure grasp of the phone. I've had the phone fall off of my belt a couple of times when I was just walking, due to the 2 pieces separating. (This is after I tried very forcefully to pry them apart, which gave the illusion that the clip wasn't going anywhere.) As a result, I haven't used the clip in about 3 months, because I'm concerned about losing my phone if I don't hear or feel it fall. Also, the case is beginning to tear on one of the corners. I had thought about getting another, but I think this time I want a case that will last longer than 9 months. The PDO Topskin provides great protection, but beware of the vulnerable clip. I'm not sure how to prevent the tearing, and think that it is just part of the process of normal wear-and-tear.
