I had this happen twice when getting out of my car. The seat belt some how caught the case and the phone popped out. I liked the case so much that I just started wearing it on my right side.

I keep it in my pocket, I'm not the hip-holster, belt-clip type. With the phone in the case I have grabbed the flap (case open) and shaken violently and my phone didn't move a mm. It's very solid, sorry you had a different experience...

I just made a post how I used a Dremel tool to modify a dock insert which now allows me to dock my InCase Slider case without removing the case. For me... this makes the slider the perfect case for my needs.

I love the thinness of the slider... and I especially like the "soft" almost rubber-like finish even though it is a hard case. Being able to dock it without removing the bottom made this case perfect for me!!!

The perfect iPhone case is such a subjective decision. As others have noticed it really depends on how *you* use your iPhone and if you want protection, style, and/or utility out of your case. I've tried a bunch of different cases myself, and the Incase Slider is the one that suits me the best - I get quick access to the screen, good drop protection, access to all the buttons, and an easy way to dock it. To each her own...

@Ireland3G: I've seen those Miniot cases and thought they looked pretty neat, though not quite my style. That was a good overview of what you liked and didn't like and it was nice of you to provide feedback to them on your experiences.

My kind of gal.

Cool site, you should do a rating on those reviews. B+ etc. It matters to people.

Consider yourself bookmarked!

Thanks! I've thought about adding a rating system and want to do something a little more objective, but it's hard to do given the range of products I review. Maybe someday!

I would love something that was leather, smart looking and protected the screen.
It seems like just about all cases leave the most vulnerable part of the iPhone - the screen, totally exposed.
The leather flips that I have seen and bought cover the screen, but for some stupid reason they usually leave two or sometime four! of the corners of the iPhone exposed to damage in the case of a fall onto concrete.
