Looks like a rolling suitcase from the side. Just sayin.
Wow that case is pretty awesome. Any one know if there is a case available for the iphone?
yea there sure is a case for the iPhone...because I have one....were you trying to be sarcastic?
Pretty sure he was asking if there was a flip-out one like this one for the iPhone.
And no, I don't believe they have that exact type, at least not that I could find on their site, but they do have a pretty cool one:

that is pretty cool looking. i've personally sworn off plastic cases for good now though since they always seem to break on me and occasionally cause me to loose my phone. leather pouches only for me now. still an awesome case though.
Looks nice, assuming it holds up...
Pre is coming on sometime next week, as per Sprint CS....Assuming they know what they r talking :) FYI.
i don't see any holes in the top right for the speaker... wouldn't that muffle the sound when the phone rings??
And those that use this have plastic on their couches, and a bra on their car.
That's a little bit overzealous with the generalizing, don't cha think? o_0
Jokes are cool too, just in case you were kidding.
IMO, the case could actually be a good thing. Couple reasons:
- The phone is oriented inward to protect the screen, which is a smart move. I had an old LG flip phone with an external display and the holster had the phone facing outward (outer screen away from my body). I DEFINITELY bumped into a sideview mirror while walking past a car and I cracked the outer screen open.
- Nobody wants to get the back of their phone all scratched up unnecessarily. That same incident that cracked my outer screen could just as easily have scratched the finish on my phone. And I know there are some gadget-lovers on this site who wish to keep their device as pristine as possible (outside of the usual wear and tear). The plastic backing on this case would serve to protect the phone while you're wearing it.
I say thumbs up, conceptually. Now we need to see if the plastic closing mechanism holds up under regular (or abusive) conditions. Because nobody wants their case flap popping open randomly...
thats likely to just pull your pants down
Looks nice. So it seems like you can take the phone out completely easily?
