New iphone Case

So I’ve had my iphone now for about a month.  I’m still loving it of course.  But in that time I’ve struggled with the idea of having a case or not.  Wisdom says that if you spend $500 on a device you ought to find a way to protect it, but I never found a case that worked for me.  And let’s be honest we’ve all dropped our ordinary phones before.  I just got tired of being nervous every time I pulled my iphone in and out my pocket so last week I set out on a desperate search to find the perfect iphone case for me.

So the things I was looking for 1.) full protection – I wanted something to cover the screen, that’s really the only thing I’m worried about.  Don’t get me wrong…I don’t want my casing all dinged up, but if it gets a ding it’s not unusable.  If the glass screen breaks, cracks, chips…you’re screwed.  And your beautiful little device just isn’t the same.  The problem is that most cases don’t cover the screen because doing so would disable the touch control use.  The only option I saw available at this point was the static stick on film, but I’m sorry those just don’t work for me, they get all bubbly and take away the whole feeling good about using your phone appeal to me.  There were also removable covers, but if I have to take a cover on or off everytime I use…I just won’t and that would defeat the purpose.   2.) Simple Design – I wanted something that was simple, not colorful, not bulky, nothing that pimps out the phone.  Clear was prefered.

At first I couldn’t find anything.  I finally came across a case that sounded interesting.  The Xylo T2.  I came close to buying it, but it was like $35 and I could not find a single review of it anywhere I looked so I had no idea if it would work or not.  I didn’t want to take the risk of throwing away about $40 so I kept on looking.  Still nothing…  In an effort of last resort I turned to Youtube.  If you’re looking for anything chances are it’s on Youtube.  Youtube is the best search engine now if you ask me.  So wouldn’t you know I found a video about a case mate case, called Naked Case.  Looked cool.  I went to the website to find it, it wasn’t listed anywhere.  I did a search somewhere and found it on their site.  It regularly list for $35 but they were selling them for $10 + $3 shipping to a limited amount of people to try so I bought one.  It arrived yesterday, and so far so good.  I love it.  The entire phone is protected…the touch screen still works.  It’s everything I wanted.

Weird….While writing the post I’ve tried to go to case-mate.com and find a link of the case, but I can’t find one.  I can’t even find a search option on their page.  I read here that they only offered them to 150 customers.  Maybe I was just lucky…well that’s a first.

Anyway…so far so good.  I love the case.  I’ll keep you posted as I go if I notice any shortcomings.  But for $13 I’m ecstatic and think I’ve found just the right case for me.
