"Slip your iPhone 3g right into your pocket, without the added bulk, with this sleek, protective acrylic case. The case also provides full access to ports and iPhone navigation"

The Belkin Polycarbonate Case is nothing special. It offers a considerable amount of protection, but for a minimal amount of time. There's one colour option available (obviously), which is clear.

There is easy access to the dock connector and speakers, and also the side controls (volume rocker and silent/mute switch).

After just a week of use, I found that this case was deteriorating. The polycarbonate shell is extremely easy to scratch - there is no effort needed.

One good thing about this case is that it doesn't add alot of bulk compared to the majority of the cases floating around.

If I was to place my iPhone in this and accidently drop it, I would feel confident that the phone would be protected. The case would probably scratch, and possibly crack though.

Overall, the Belkin polycarbonate case is an option you should avoid. If you feel you would like a clear case which doesn't add bulk, and actually protects your phone well, check out the Gear4 Icebox or a cheaper alternative on eBay. It isn't always about the brand name!
