I just got the agent 18.

Excellent. Very pleased with it.

Do you mean the Revo? I can't see an Evo for the iPhone.

If you DO mean Revo, I've had one and it's just plain nasty and cheap looking. Definitley detracts from the phone.

I just picked up the Agent 18 based on reviews I've read here. I'm very pleased with it, however, don't have any experiences with any other cases.

And you wont have experiences with other cases if you're going to strictly limit your options based on what you read on the forums. Everyone likes what they like. So far, I have 5 different cases because my style and taste change.

The Agent 18 was highly recommended here; but it seems to be the only one thats talked about the most. In my mind, there has got to be other cases, but I woudnt know about them if I didnt try them out for myself.

Never lose that receipt!! :laugh2:

dude, that is the point!

why bother with 5 cases of different types when i can read some reviews (by the way, you make it sound impossible to form a valid opinion based on other people's opinions), make an informed decision, and get a case that fits my needs the absolute best? I don't care what the incase "x", or the iskin "y", or the vaja "z" are like anymore, because the agent18 does everything i want it to do, and nothing i don't want it to do.

IMO, the Contour Showcase and Agent 18 are solid choices...

I have a Revo and like it. Right now I'm using the Otterbox case and actually DO like it as well.

I'm waiting for the new "bulletproof" Otterbox case - it's bigger but I think I'll like it even better.

In agreement with prior posts, there is no one "perfect" case. It depends what you're doing at the time. I have several and like them all.

Except for the first cheap silicone case that I bought....:2cool:


Good Luck!

That case blocks the proximity sensor. Doesn't that bother you? I emailed the iFrogz company a couple weeks ago about this issue. They said they are not going to change the design of this case even though it is wrong.

Bought an Agent18 when I picked up the phone. So long as you don't mind not being able to actually dock it to the Apple-included base, you should be happy.

Too many people have indicated that the Agent 18 does not protect the phone in one extremely important respect. In fact, the case itself is responsible for a great many users saying that the case directly contributed to bezel scratching by trapping dirt and then "sanding" the bezel with the slight movement of the phone within the case that occurs during normal jostling.

I have numerous iPhone cases, and none have a design which would inflict cosmetic damage to the phone.

Isn't the point of having a case to protect from damages, cosmetic or otherwise????

The man has a point and I'd like to rescind my previous recommendation of the Agent18. I hadn't taken the case off my phone since I bought it two weeks ago. There are a few scratches about the bezel, no gouges but it's annoying nonetheless.

No more Agent18 for me.

IMO the Contour Showcase is a better case because it does not scratch the bezel like the Agent 18 does.

i have had no issues whatsoever with my agent18 scratching the bezel.

it's a snug fit, but i don't see how a piece of plastic can scratch something metal... unless debris somehow works itself in-between the case and iphone, which is unlikely because of the aforementioned snug fit.

My iPhone case is a piece of garbage. It's the one that looks like it's made out of leather, but the backbone of the case is plastic so I broke it sliding it back into my pocket because it doesn't completely cover the entire top of the phone. So it's a total piece of garbage and DO NOT buy this case. I broke it in no less than a month. But that Agent 18 case looks quite delectable. The picture below is of my iPhone case.
