Marware C.E.O. Premiere for iPhone 3G
Posted 09/20/2008 at 4:59:00pm | by Susie Ochs

The C.E.O. Premiere is made of rich black or vanilla leather with constrast stitching, a suede lining, and a sturdy -- if somewhat loud -- Velcro closure. The belt clip is extremely sturdy but can't be removed. Your iPhone goes in sideways, and you can access the headphone port while it's in the case, but the Silence switch is out of reach.

Marware includes a protective film for your iPhone's touchscreen, as well as a cleaning cloth. We didn't love the metal Marware logo on the front of the case, but other than that it seems very well-made.

THE BOTTOM LINE
If you insist on wearing your iPhone like a technological accessory, you might as well rock it in style.

Handsome, well-made leather hip case. Sturdy belt clip. Strong Velcro closure on flap. Soft lining. Headphone port is accessible. Includes protective screen film and cleaning cloth. Comes in black or vanilla.

avatarGrantwood case is better

QuickFlipCase for iPhone and iPhone 3G from Grantwood Technology, is way mo' betta.

HALF the price. Available on Amazon and elsewhere. Uses magnets instead of the noisy velcro (which also, as we all know, attracts gunk and eventually wears out) to close. It's also a little "looser"... I found the Marware case a little too snug. I can actually fit the super-slim Power Support Air Jacket case on the phone (for a little extra protection while the phone is outside of the case) and it still slides smoothly in and out of the Grantwood case. And there's no obnoxious metal logo.

The Marware case isn't exactly BAD, but considering you can do better for less, I can't imagine why anyone would want one.

I don't work for Grantood, but I'm a satisfied customer. :) http://grantwoodstore.com/

In sum: Better and Cheaper. Win!
