Kroo Manhattan Leather Case for iPhone 3G/3GS - Black

 (6 customer reviews)

Excellent materials, construction and fit. Also quite attractive. Far superior to the Marware case and half the price. I have used the latter for about 6 months, and have had to apply tape and glue to keep it functional. Having dropped my iPhone three or four times with no damage, any case is better than none but the Kroo really is impressive, especially for the money. I consider it one of my better Amazon purchases.

The case has not held up as I expected. It is showing considerable wear at the point where it folds. I also became frustrated with the degree to which the case partially blocks the letters to the extreme right and left of the screen when typing an email. This does not happen with the latest case that I purchased on Amazon-- look for my review. On the plus side, however, I dropped my phone on several occasions, and it never suffered any damage. Bottom line: great protection for the phone, but some drawbacks.

Do not buy this product. It is not cut right and does not fit the iPhone properly, and it has that cheap, 99 cent store smell. And then they have the nerve to expect me to pay for shipping to return it. I just threw it in the garbage.

Despite the attractive look of this case, it has several defects. The first week I owned the case, the material covering the belt clip was torn off completely, exposing the metal. Next; the button for closing the phone case onto itself was loose and fell off in less than a day.
