Hard Case Skin Back Cover for iPhone 3G
by NicndDan
When it comes to looking after any electrical item I own I am and always have been rather obsessive, and when forking out quite a large sum for an iphone 3G recently one of the first items I sought to buy was a cover to protect it and after browsing through some reviews on here as well as elsewhere online it seemed the logical choice to ... buy the Hard Case Back Cover as displayed here.
This item has proved every bit worth the £2.99 I paid for it online and it has provided my phone with the protection it needs from being bounced around from pillar to post. I am constantly abusing my phones, knocking them off places, dropping them and leaving them in places where something inevitably drops on them so something sturdy, strong and reliable is needed to meet my needs.
The only option for me is a hard case, I feel the soft cases and leather pouches do very little and would not provide the protection I needed. This is a solid, sturdy piece of kit. From the moment you unpack it you will feel its hard, tough well made feel. Quality all round. It's a high quality, solid plastic.
It fits like a glove onto the back of the iphone and you will have no problems clipping it into place and once there it will remain there come hell or high water. There is no slippage and the phone will not come out of place from merely being in your pocket. Its solid. It does take rather some struggle to get it off once you have it on though so only really use this if you are going to leave it on for some time.
Aesthetically it looks stylish and in the white brand which I own, goes nicely with the phone holding the apple logo.
Overall though it is the sheer durability, toughness and general all round performance of this item that makes it well worth the price. I have used many a hard cases on many phones over the years but very few have given me the confidence this has that my precious phone is protected well.

Hama CD Case 24
by danny691
For those of you that read my reviews regularly I will spare you the detail that I am a big fan and hoarder of Hama products. They are 'committed to developing and delivering products that achieve the highest performance at a most competitive price, within easy reach of everyone.' This is the sentence that is carried by most of their ... products' literature, and its what Hama is all about. This CD case is no different, and the looks say it all. For starters, the shape is very ergonomic, it isn't perfectly round like a cd, nor does it have square edges. The shape has clearly been thought out a lot, and the colour range is as impressive as ever. Hama generally have subtle products, but they also have loud, lairy colours on some of their items, this CD case is clearly one of those. The Hama CD case 24 comes in a variety of colours, from transparent Green, to voilet, and pink and a plain (but by no means ordinary) transparent case. The top of the case displays the company logo.
As the cd case is oof a hard structure, it protects cd's much better than most of the other cases available right now, it also can compete in the style department as I have just suggested. The case can hold 24 cd's and obviously you can put Blue-ray discs, dvd's etc etc. in it aswell, so the capacity can easily be filled regardless of your collection. The price of this cd case didn't surprise me one bit, at around £3-4 the cases are very reasonably priced, which is in recognition of the sentence I mentioned in the first paragraph of this review. The sleeves within the case are durable and will withstand constant use, but clearly the outer case will protect everything inside the case from drops, knocks and scrapes, so you can rest assured that your discs are in safe hands. Whether you pick the 'safe' colour (transparent) or go for the very loud pink or purple case, you will be impressed by the bang for your buck from Hama, as I have always been.

Hard Case Skin Back Cover for iPhone 3G
by ktbainbridge
For a while I had an iphone without a case. I thought it would stay perfect forever. Sadly I learnt that this wasn't the case. The back got really scratched and the screen actually got smashed. The screen could be replaced, and it was, but the back, black part could not be. I soon learnt to buy a case. I had a silicon one first, which ... was fantastic, but I wanted a colour change, so I decided to go for a harder one this time.
I picked up a couple of the hard skin cases for two pounds each on ebay with free postage. They were brand new, shipping was quick, prices were reasonable and I was not disappointed when they arrived. I picked a neutral black, a purple, and a lime green. The colours were bright and tasteful, and didn't fade over time either.
The covers look like a hard plastic moulding. It is a snug fit to the back of the iphone with curves round the side to make it grip on. It is a tight fit and takes a little bit of effort to take off and back on again if that's what you want to do! The bonus of the snug fit is that it is easy to put in and out of pockets and tighter spaces, which you can't really do with the silicon one as it ends up dragging the case off the phone and getting it jammed!
The phone is perfect for protection and looks really sleek. Smarter than the silicon case too. I love having lots of different colours so I can chop and change depending on my mood. The cover doesn't stay as new and as fresh as the silicon one, as the hard case picks up the scratches and ends up just as damaged as my phone did and would. The thing is you can just take the cover off and change it for a new one, with no damage to the actual phone. These ones definitely do not last as long as the silicon ones. If you drop the phone a chunk will be taken out of the case. It just makes you glad you had the case on there as you know without it that would be your phone!
If you are happy to pay for something which doesn't last too long, but isn't that expensive and looks good, then buy a couple of these. The wear and tear of your phone will be saved and your phone will be livened up and suited to your mood!
