Power Support Air Jacket for iPhone 3G
Great Design, Questionable Build Quality
Written by JH from Ashburton
Jun 10, 2009
** The Case **
The case is very thin and light compared other cases out there and makes a barely noticeable difference to the iPh…Read moreone's overall thickness. It was a breeze to attach and remove. It is a very attractive design and the matte finish is personal taste, but I personally really enjoy the additional grip and finger-print resistance it provides. Importantly, the case does not cover all of the chrome surround, the top or bottom of the phone so if your after complete coverage and protection look elsewhere.
Detracting from the good design of this product is the very questionable build quality. Within days of attaching this case, the matte rubberized finish along the edges (especially around the four corners of the cover) began to scratch off, revealing the clear plastic underneath. Since owning the cover for about 2 month other small bits of the coating have been scratched off. It has become clear that the rubberized coating is too thin or some other build quality issue is the cause of this because this occurred under normal (and quite meticulous) use. This is consistent with many of the other user reviews.
** The Screen Protector **
The package comes with both a glossy protector which mimics the existing finish in the screen and matte finished screen protector for glare minimization. I have attached the matte finish as I was sick of the constant finger prints, greasy build-up and glare of the standard glossy finish. The screen protector has been very good and would protect the screen against minor scratches and likely reduce the severity (but not offer complete protection) against major drops and bumps. The screen protector does not use an adhesive, instead using some form of static attachment which makes fitting the protector relatively easy but still unavoidably fiddly. The only downsides to the screen protector is that any dusk particles no matter how small will become very obvious if they are stuck between the protecting film and the screen and that the protector slightly reduces the overall brightness and contrast of the glossy screen.(1 of 1 people found this review useful)

Screen Protection is Great/ Air Jacket Is Terrible
Written by AH from Carmichael
May 28, 2009
Pretty much sums up what I think about this case. The protective films do an awesome job of keeping the screen free of scratches, …Read moreetc.
But less than a month into use, the Air Jacket started to loose its black finish around all of the edges. After about 9 months of usage, the back is completely cracked and there's gaping holes all over the finish. The back of my iPhone has tons of little scratches from dirt getting in between the case and moving around.
I'm not really sure what the Air Jacket would even protect the iPhone from, if anything. My advice, ditch this package and just buy the screen protectors with a different case. You'll be far happier.(6 of 6 people found this review useful)

Power Support Air Jacket for iPhone 3G
Love it and Hate it
Written by MB from Los Angeles
May 22, 2009
I am so conflicted. The form factor of this case is fantastic! So thin it almost looks like the phone doesn't have a case at all. …Read moreThe slightly rubberized finish makes the phone easier to handle too.
But I hate this case because after about a month, I took the case off and lo and behold, the back of my phone is now covered in scratches, chips, and dings. I wonder why I had a case on my phone at all.
A case is supposed to protect the phone, period! Simply put, the Air Jacket fails miserably in this regard. The one star is for the form factor only.(11 of 11 people found this review useful)

Black Matte peels off / Clear shows lots scratches
Written by RY from Huntington Beach
Sep 16, 2008
I first got the Black Matte air jacket and the rubbery black coating started to peel off at the corners after just a few hours of …Read moreuse. This was too bad because I really like the matte finish.
I then got the clear air jacket which I am pretty satisfied with but after about a week, it is showing ALOT of scratches on the air jacket (not iphone). The scratched up air jacket diminishes the look of my iPhone a bit but that is OK...I guess it is doing it's job.
Also, I noticed that I am getting some small scratches on the chrome bezel from taking the air jacket on/off and I have only taken the air jacket off a couple of times.
As others mentioned, it doesn't really protect the bezel and in fact scratches it a bit. If dropped, I don't think the case would protect the phone very much...in fact it would probably fall off upon impact.
Overall, it is exactly the size and weight I was looking for. You also get the great Crystal and Anti-glare film sets. I give it a C+ grade.(73 of 89 people found this review useful)

Power Support Air Jacket for iPhone 3G
ilike it !
Written by SA from stroud
Jan 15, 2009
I am 100% satisfied. I have spent a long time looking into many different cases for the 3G. its been a tough choice, especially th…Read moreat many do not come cheap. But like Indiana Jones finding the golden head statue in Raiders, i have found it.
Its extremely light in weight, and its rubber/plasticy material is still quite grippy, but doesn't magnet animal hairs and dust like other cases i have seen. it has not scratched or chipped at all, and protects the back and all corners of the iphone.
All gizmo buttons are easily accessible (mute, volume, on/off) and there is no interference with the earphone jack, so any earphones can be plugged in without twisting and forcing.
I also like the fact the case does its job without completely surrounding the iphone like a 1 piece ski suit for a slope finder in the Alps. It still allows the iphone to show off its smart chrome border.
There is but 1 slight head tilt with this case, in that it does not allow the iphone to sit in a dock very easily, but the case can be easily removed and re applied without damaging it over time. 1 very minor hiccup.
But, the fifth and final star is awarded to the 2 screen protecters included. One is crystal and the other anti-glare. I cant see much difference to tell the truth, but they both do a tip job in covering the entire face if the iphone from corner to corner, and do a top job preventing scratches and what not to the screen.
So all in all, i am impressed and happy i have finally found the right case. Worth the £25 if you are looking to invest some hard earned pennies.
Cheers, hope this has been helpful.(34 of 34 people found this review useful)

Power Support Air Jacket for iPhone 3G
Exactly what I wanted
Written by EK from Bedford
Sep 8, 2008
I was looking for an equivalent to the Cozip polycarbonate case I had for my iPod Touch. This comes the closest to that very slim,…Read more minimalist case, with the associated pros and cons. Obviously it doesn't provide much more than scratch and light ding protection for the back plastic; it doesn't protect most of the chrome or any of the face. The top and bottom of the phone are particularly exposed. However, having bought and returned one of the two-piece cases that give better protection, I just couldn't deal with the extra bulk and went back to this case for its extremely low profile. The soft-touch finish gives improved grip and much improved resistance to scratches and fingerprints. The included screen protectors are a nice touch and are very good quality. The matte black cover with the bits of chrome and exposed glossy black of the phone is a great look and, to my eye, more handsome than the stock device. All in all, just what I was looking for.
