iSkin Revo Antimicrobial Silicone Case for iPhone 1G - Black/Black - Nighthawk


This review is from: iSkin Revo Antimicrobial Silicone Case for iPhone 1G - Black/Black - Nighthawk


Unlikemany other covers I owned for numerous hand held devices, this doesn't only fit nicely on your iPhone but also seems to protect it from nasty falls (and yes if you use your phone often, it will happen regardless how careful you are).



I also would recommend you to get the Power Support Crystal Film Set for iPhone as it covers the entire front of the iPhone in addition to the privacy screen included with the iSkin revo (this only covers the screen). The Film Set, if applied correctly, is not distinguishable from the iPhone and does not decrease the screen quality.



Be aware that in the packaging is also a small plastic lens cover for the in-built camera (can easily be lost), the privacy screen (to protect your screen) that comes in addition to the plastic cover and a small rubber cover for the port at the bottom of the iPhone. Make sure all this is included.



Now, obviously this is not what the designers had in mind when they came up with the iPhone and any cover for the iPhone will decrease its appearance (its a rubber coat after all) and makes it look like a field laptop (the sturdy type used outdoors with rubber casings to prevent it from getting wet and being dropped). However, the iSkin revo may be better looking than most available covers.



Also, some reviewers commented on the plastic cover not fitting on correctly. I cannot confirm this, maybe a defective cover? Also, if you are careful you will avoid any air bubbles. This said, even if you do have some, these usually disappear with time (as you keep hammering your fingers on the screen).



Be also aware that although it isn't difficult to take the iPhone out of the cover, you want to avoid doing this too often as you will start cracking the rubber material if you are not careful. That said, it is not intended to be changed frequently.



One important fact not mentioned in most of the other reviews I saw is that you will no longer be able to use the docking station that is shipped with the iPhone if you use the iSkin. I had to revert back to using the cable, as taking of the cover is difficult (see previous paragraph).
