I purchase these two cases on ebay and they are bad. The Griffin Elan hard shell leather case sell for about $6-9 dollars with free shipping. When I put this case on my phone, it can easily come off. The hard plastic is cheap that's why it's sold for cheap price. I didn't give the seller a bad rating but simply throw away the case, they are worthless. The pic look really good but don't waste your money and time on this case.

Another one is the red leather case below. I got it for $9. It's no good because the case cover the camera lenses and the leather is cheap quality. The rim of the leather surrounding the screen come off easily. Also, this type of case interfere with the home menu button. I had it for a while and feel it's very uncomfortable so I took it off and go back to my old silicon case. I hope this post help save you guys some money.http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j115/doccocauhoa/6.jpg

Well, I have to ask...why didn't you EXPECT to get cheap plastic and cheap leather for $9 a case?

Most GRIFFIN products I've seen are crap

I've just got this Elan case for $19 on ebay and this time it's good. I like this case very much and would recommend it. Got it from the seller name wind130.

I have that case and I would not recommend it at all. It's nice at first, but a few weeks/months later the leather will start to peel off and there's nothing you can do to fix it. Nice idea and feel to it, but the glue they use on it is not good.

I have become so confused reading above posts. I bought a iphone recently & I badly need a case. I searched in web for it but all I got are so costly or low quality. Can't decide what to do. Searching for something comfortable.

in this particular instance, a good case runs about $35 USD. I recommend either Incase Sliders or Seidio Innocase II.
Sliders have many more color choices. Seidio is like .o5mm thinner. (not .5mm)
