The Slider comes in white gloss or black matte, and it fits the iPhone 3G so snugly, you might mistake it for the actual case if it had an Apple logo. It's got sleek style to spare.

You get access to all the controls with the case on, but if you have trouble fitting a dock accessory into the iPhone's dock port, the whole bottom 20 percent or so of the Slider case, well, slides right off. The first few times you perform this little maneuver it may seem tough to pry the two pieces of the case apart, since they fit together so darn well, but it gets easier after a few repetitions.

Our white gloss case seemed to pick up a little pocket lint, though, especially around the recessed Incase logo. Plus, at $35 it's on the high-roller side.

THE BOTTOM LINE
It's one of the best-looking iPhone 3G cases we've ever seen.

COMPANY: Incase
CONTACT: www.goincase.com
PRICE: $34.99
REQUIREMENTS: iPhone 3G
Hard plastic case in white gloss or black matte. Access to all controls. Bottom piece slides off for docking (cable still fits with bottom piece on). Sleek understated look.
A bit pricey. White gloss seemed to pick up lint.
4/5
