iSkin offers a few different types of silicon cases for the iPhone and iPhone 3G. They were kind enough to send me their Solo FX to take a look at.
The thing in noticed right away when I opened the package was the striking color of the case. iSkin offers this case in red, orange, blue, and green. Almost enough to have a different color each weekday. They sent me blue and it looks real nice! This case is silicon based and is halfway between soft and rigid, I would say. It is definitely not as floppy as some of the silicone cases I’ve seen but not as hard as the polycarbonate ones. A happy medium if you will.
The FX case contains a pattern on it which consists of a bunch of circles. It creates a nice effect on the back of the case. Also, instead of a regular screenguard, you get one that turns into a mirror when the phone is asleep. Great for that quick touch up before a meeting. Alright, enough on the looks, how does this case perform?
After using the Solo FX for a few days I can say it is a great accessory to have. It slips over the iPhone with relative ease. The material has a really good feel to it and it’s not sticky, which makes getting it in and out of your pocket a breeze. The case protects all the buttons while giving access to dock and headphone connectors and the camera. It says the case is also hot/cold temperature resistant, which is a bonus for those of us who live in a -30 deep freeze for a solid part of winter!
This is a great looking and functional case to have. I had at least 5 different people comment on it. The vibrant colors are pretty hard to miss! If you’re in search of a case that ‘pops’ and don’t mind paying a few bucks extra, pick up the Solo FX. You’ll be sure to turn heads.
Score:
8.6/10
