The SwitchEasy Capsule Rebel ($25) iPhone 3G case is currently the top-rated case on iLounge with an A- (iLounge’s review). In fact, it’s the only iPhone 3G case to grade higher than a B.
The protective case is made of two parts: a soft rubber covering that serves as an initial layer of protection, and a glossy hard plastic protective shell that goes on the outside. You can even buy different color plastics to give it a remixed zebra appearance.
What makes the case somewhat of a bargain is that it comes with “everything but the kitchen sink,” as SwitchEasy’s website puts it. Included are two anti-static screen guards, microfiber wipe, universal dock adapter, video dock stand, squeegee for screen guard application, and a power jack protector.
Check out iLounge’s review to see more on why they’ve got it as their top case.
Do you play a bad guy in Hollywood films or just generally drive around in a Hummer with a fat, unlit cigar hanging out of your mouth? Oakley has the iPhone case for you. Made from their patented Unobtainium rubber, the black case offers full access to the iPhone’s controls as well as dock and headphone ports. $30 at Oakley’s website.
Not getting a good signal on your iPhone? Griffin claims to have the answer. The ClearBoost case is designed to give your wireless signal a “boost.” From the official website:
“This clever case conceals a built-in booster antenna that captures more of the available wireless signal and sends it to the internal antenna of your iPhone. “
According to iLounge, it works best to boost medium range reception to full, but does not seem to improve very low reception.
This may be the coolest iPhone protector yet. When the screen in turned off, the surface of the Echo becomes reflective, or mirrored, then becomes translucent again when the iPhone is turned on. Perfect for vain iPhone users who can’t get enough of their own reflections. Available for $9.95. Link.
