I cracked the glass of my first iPhone so when I got my new one today I thought it would be a good idea to protect it with some kind of protective case. I went for a silicon SwitchEasy white color case, mainly for it’s a quite slim case that also features a film that is also protecting the glass. Come inside for some photos and more information.

As you can see the above I choosed the white version of the case and it was very easy to fit on my iPhone – like ten seconds easy.

There are holes for all the connectors, and above you can see what the case looks like from the top.

And here is a view from the bottom. I have not tried to dock it but the case is quite slim so it should fit in most docking units.

The volume buttons works fine and fits perfectly inside the silicon.

Along with a small, soft cloth you get plugs for that can be fitted in the dock connector and the headphone plug.

And finally a shot of the packaging.

Verdict: A really good case that does what it is supposed to do – protect your iPhone. It’s slim, easy to use and all buttons fits perfectly. Highly recommended.

I actually dropped my iPhone 3G quite badly a couple of days ago and it only got a small mark in one of the plastic corners, but this guy wasn’t as lucky. He did something similiar and dropped the phone from about three feet into the sidewalk, and now his phone is ready for the trash bin.

Yeah, I know. This is really old news but since I took a bunch of photos of my iPhone 3G unboxing a couple of weeks ago I might as well publish them, so here you go.

And yes, I am in love the iPhone 3G. It’s a true life changing device!

Rather than throwing away your old iPhone dock, you can just use your steady hands and a dremel and make your bulkier iPhone 3G fit. It will all be over in a minute or two if you got the right tools.

I just read over at Appleinsider that the iPhone 3G is almost sold out all over the states, and that seems to be the case in almost all countries where iPhone 3G debuted ten days ago. In Sweden they ran out of phones after only a few days. I guess those factories are working round the clock and it will be interesting to see how many months it will take until they have delivered enough phones to get on par with the demand.
