We’re not just in the business of creating coveted accessories for mobile devices, even though that is what we do. Everything we do is designed to make people happy. – Case-Mate
I reviewed the new Case-Mate Phantom case for my iPhone 4. I received a black/white and an aqua/white case. I liked the aqua color better; it was more feminine. Plus, I needed a change for Spring. I usually use a black case, and I wish that this black case was all black as opposed to a white stripe down the center. My husband didn’t care for the stripe either. The case comes in 2 pieces: an inner-core frame that supports the front and sides of the iPhone, protecting the screen while the case lays facedown. And the outer layer is made from revolutionary DuoFlex and PolyCore materials. Fancy words for it is soft and cushy!
I am not used to such a thick case. It really protects the phone, though, especially from my little one, who is still known to play with it when I don’t download a game or two! It is stylish for being a thicker case.
I have noticed really only one downside to the case. I occasionally carry my phone in my back pocket and place it face-down on the table. In addition to normal use, I think this has caused the edges to pick up dirt. There is a black ring around the outer edge. I normally do not use lighter colored cases, so this might happen with all lighter colored cases. This would not be a problem with the black case. Well, the dirt will still be there. You wouldn’t see it!
Another thing that I am not used to is how the ports have those flaps to cover them up when not in use. My last case was thinner, and the ports were open. So that isn’t a downside, but just a matter of preference.
Overall, I would recommend a Phantom Case for durable protection.
I also reviewed The Waddler and Monsta iPhone cases from Case-Mate if you would like to learn more about them.
Case-mate offers the chance to create your own case. If you have a special picture that you would like to have made into a case, just upload it, and they will make it into a case cover.
