Review by Larry C. Plummer for iFrogz Luxe Case for iPhone 3G, 3G S (Blue/Black)

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

The case slips on very easily and feels very solid but lightweight. It makes the iPhone a *tiny* bit bigger, but still small enough to slip into a pocket easily. The surface adds friction to make the phone feel slightly nubby to the touch, but still slides into a pocket without a problem. All of the buttons are easily accessible as is the charger connection port.

The back interior is felt-lined so you don’t have to worry about the hard case scratching the back of your iPhone if you decide to remove/replace later.

The picture makes it out to be a rubberized appearance… the actual product looks more metallic, and is more purplish (but is still blue) than the picture shows.

Ordered this color and the orange.

i had a soft rubber-like case, which i really liked. unfortunately, the soft case was not firm enough to stay on an the iPhone squirted out when i was carrying my iPhone and suitcase in the same hand and my iPhone screen cracked. so i got a replacement iPhone and decided to try this case. this case is not going to come off. i don’t think it’s too tight, but it fits just right once you snap the two pieces together. this is a harder case. i think it’s aesthetically pleasing and the button piece on back that snaps the two pieces together is just a tad annoying — the unit laying on its back will wobble a bit, barely. but it’s enough to lose a 1/2 of a star in my rating.

this case loses 1.5 stars for a bigger problem . . . i had a screen protector on my iPhone 3G and i put this case on for the first time and both bottom corners of the screen protector immediately bubbled up. i tried to push the bubbles out and took the case off, but the damage was done. i don’t feel like wasting another screen protector to try again, so i’ll live with it and the case. but i might look for a different case when it’s time to switch to a new screen protector. perhaps.
