It fits in screen in or out and also with the home button to the left or right. Finally and this is something I just discovered, the holster doubles as a stand for the iPhone. I love how I can snap the case into the holster in any direction. I prefer landscape so this was a welcome feature. I ordered this using my Prime membership and opted for the overnight shipping.
Overall the case adds very little bulk to the phone and gives it a sleek all black look that I really like. The headphone and dock plugs fit perfectly, and the membranes over the volume and power switches actually improved the feel of both for me. Another cool feature of the holster is that it has a cut out area for the volume and silent controls to be operated while the case is in the holster. I really like the coverage that they gave all of the ports and openings on the phone. It also comes out of the holster in an equally smooth fashion. The finish on it is silky smooth and it snaps together so perfectly that the seam between the front and back halves is not very noticeable at all. The case snaps into the holster quite easily but with a satisfying and reassuring soft snap. This works no matter which end of the clip is on the desktop, a nice feature that Contour does not mention on their site.The case itself is a thing of beauty.
Total shipped was less than Contour charges for it on their site without shipping.I knew from looking at their site that it came with a holster and belt ciip but I wasn't prepared for them to work so well together with the case. At least in landscape mode (I didn't try this in portrait mode) the holster and belt clip allow the case to stand at a nice angle. This is a really well thought out and designed case, Highly reccomended. It basically allows for unlimited placement options in the holster. The belt clip on the holster can be installed for landscape or portrait orientation of the phone on your belt.
Actually, I've found I prefer it without this cover, since before it had to be opened with each charge or sync cycle. The is the best protective case that I have found. Personally I've found that my pocket works out best.Hardskin V3 for Apple iPhone (Black) Included is a plastic belt clip that works fine if you prefer carrying the iPhone that way. It installs very easily and protects buttons, earphone jack, and sync port. The only problem I've found is that the rubber insert that covers the sync port eventually splits off from the rubberized backing of the case.
What I did not expect was how convincingly protected the iphone is when placed in the holster with its very secure and positive belt clip. My wife thinks it looks great.Con: It does not come with a screen protector. Contour seems to have corrected the faults mentioned by critical reviewers. This convinced me to constantly carry my iphone in this fashion. The "silent" switch is now easily accessible to my rather stubby fingers, and the rubber switch covers do not impede use whatsoever (in fact I prefer the response when I have the covers on). The case clicks together with a satisfying and reassuring firmness and the fit is so precise that there are places where it is difficult to discern a seam.Originally I got this case because I thought the rubberized layer would add a shock-absorbing quality to the very positively reviewed Contour 3v polycarbonate shell.
My mistake to be sure, but the V3 in the title makes it easy to confuse. I got this for my iPhone 3G, only to discover that it does not fit the 3G.
This is a solid case. It is great for people who want their iPhone to be inconspicuous. It is slightly rubbery, but much less so than other cases. It's quite thin, and doesn't make the phone too bulky to easily pocket.
I remedied this with a pair of cuticle trimmers and a knife. It has a nice matte finish, and the "Countour" logo text on the back is small, and done in a way that it doesn't look like text at all. Very much appreciated.The only problem I've had with this case is that the opening for the ring/silent switch doesn't extend down enough towards the back of the phone. I literally cut down about 2mm and now I can easily flick the switch. So while it is easy to flip to switch to "silent," it is hard to get it back, as the switch sits flush against the start of the cover, and it is hard to get a fingernail in between the two. It snaps together sturdily, and it has a great feel.
it just looks like a little swoosh with some vertical lines. The modification took about a minute, and didn't particularly require a lot of skill. It doesn't stick going in or out of my pocket, but it gives me a better grip on the iPhone (which is really slippery without a case).The case is mostly rigid, with a bit of flexibility. There are covers for the power switch and the volume buttons and the dock, but I don't use them.The case looks great, visually.
