iFrogz iPhone 3G Luxe Case

I’ve got some new pals up north of me about an hour’s drive. They’re called iFrogz and they make cool accessories for the iPhone, iPods and other gadgets. I’ve got a iFrogz 3G Luxe Case for my iPhone 3G and it is awesome.

Materials

The hard shell case comes in two pieces which snap together in the back of the phone. This tough case provides a very good “exoskeleton” for protecting the iPhone 3G.

Despite the fact that the case is a hard plastic, the finish has sort of porous and soft feel. This makes the phone easy to handle. The original iPhone casing is very slick and slips out of my hand easily. It also slips around the dashboard of my car or wherever I put it. With the iFrogz 3G Luxe Case installed the phone doesn’t slip in my hand or around in my car.

Access

While providing excellent protection for the iPhone 3G, the 3G Luxe Case still provides access to all the buttons, ports and sensors of the phone. Once installed there’s no need un take it off.

Screen Protector

Honestly I haven’t installed the included screen protector but I thought I should mention that the iFrogz 3G Luxe Case does include one.

Colors

The 3G Luxe case is available in six different colors: blue, red, purple, green, orange and gray. The bottom half is always black and the color options are for the top half.

Pricing

This hard case retails for $20, but I’ve seen street prices for around $16.

Happy 25th birthday Macintosh!

This Saturday marks the 25th birthday of the Apple Macintosh computer.

I’m happy the Mac and MacOS are still around, providing me with great tools to create with.

Happy Birthtday!
