Review: iFrogz 3G Luxe Apple iPhone case

I've gone through an amazing number of iPhone cases in the last year or so, between the ten or so I reviewed for the first gen iPhone and the cases I've been sent for the newer 3G phone. At first, my iPhone cases of choice were the rubberized ones like those from InCase Designs. (they call it a "form-fitting, injection molded material", of course, but to me it's just a fancy sort of rubber)

Then I realized that since I like to slip my iPhone into the front pocket of my pants, I'd often end up with the case collecting lint. Not so good, so I moved to harder plastic shells, but didn't really find any that I loved. Well, I like the Griffin Wave for its mix and match capabilities, but not enough that I haven't kept looking.

Until iFrogz generously gave me a couple of their 3G Luxe cases. What can I say, these just ROCK!

Truth be told, everyone who knows me is used to my constantly switching iPhone cases so that they never know what style or color I'll have on any given day. It could be blue, green, transparent, rubber, metal, plastic, with a lid, without a lid, etc.

I mean, I look at my phone every single day, so why not try to maximize its functionality and attractiveness? (yeah, it's a rationalization, but I bet you wouldn't mind having a half-dozen iPhone cases to test too)

Anyway, the 3G Luxe cases are a nice mix of being very small, being a strong material that feels quite protective, and having a beautiful sheen and design that makes it a constant eye-catcher.

It comes in a range of colors, silver, blue, red, green, purple and orange, and I've seen almost all of them now. My favorites are green and orange, but really, the velvet finish of the plastic is very cool and they all look really nice.

What's even better is that the units are only $19.99 and that includes not just the case but a clear protective cover too. It's about time these cases were reasonably priced: plenty of other companies charge $29.97 or higher and an additional $19.97 or more for the clear cover. Honestly, isn't that just goofy expensive?

Anyway, until something even cooler comes along, I'm really glad to have a couple of iFrogz 3G Luxe cases, and recommend it to any iPhone owners.
