The two pieces come apart frequently, the color chips, and the side tabs chip also. I have had it for two weeks and am already looking for a replacement. Lame.......
Looks snazzy but breaks easily. First thing that broke is the ring on the back of the cover. Not a big deal. Then the side near the volume control split in two because it's the thinnest part of the case. Had my iPhone since April, now it's July so it lasted 3 months. Hadn't been dropped nor abused FYI.......
Had this case for less than a week. It's a nice case that provides nice form and function. Can't speak to the color fading issue but in less than several times used, I have broken a tab on the side. So be very, very careful with how you insert the case parts together. Have used this case with a cozip. The cozip is easier on and off and provides similar but better overall protection with some face covered. Unfortunately although I like the design of this case, the tabs on the side are prone to break with light use if you are not extra careful with them. I only noticed it was gone after putting it on. Used it maybe three times. Screen protector seems to be a casemate brand. Had those on 2g and 3g but for some reason even applied perfect will create a bubble on a corner somewhere. With the iFrogz added, you get two additional bubbles to go 3 for 4. Casemate seems to be slightly off here. If you apply it good luck. It's a good screen protector but seems hard to work with a case like this.......
This case looks amazing. The pictures definitely do not do it justice. Also, the price is half on Amazon as it was in the AT&T store making an online purchase a no-brainer. As others have mentioned, the blue color is really much darker and more metallic than it seems in the product shots. The only issue I've run into is that the blue color on the sides is starting to fade after only about a month of use. This is no doubt where my fingers hold the phone while using it.......
Purchased an iFrogs Luxe case the same day I purchased my iPhone 3Gs, and at first was impressed. The case fit nicely, and everything lined up as it should. Initial impressions were positive ones. It protected well, and wasn't difficult to remove from pockets at all. Should be a 5 star review then. Then came the bad... I own a white iPhone 3Gs. White phones show things a black phone won't. My phone showed that the coloring of the iFrogz Luxe is PAINTED on, and not a molded in color. 1 week after purchase I took the case off, and noticed that I had blue PAINT on my new white iPhone from the case! I was furious. This revelation showed two relative flaws in this case. 1) Color is not permanent on this case. It will rub off onto your phone 2) the placement of the color shows that it seems to placing pressure on the upper edges of my iPhone and creating a wear/friction spots on both the case and the plastic portion of the iPhone. There are better cases on the market than this, but there are also worse cases. Final tally? A 3 out of 5......
