I had this for my 3gs. One time I forgot that I placed my cellphone on the roof of my car and took off. I then realized that my phone is missing. So I drove back around and found my cellphone on the road. Luckily my phone was still intact. The only downside is the bulkiness and it is difficult taking out of your pocket.

I loved this case. I had this case for four years and I beat the hell out of my phone. If I didn't have to upgrade to the 4 I would've kept this case. Yes it's bulky and not very pretty to look at but it did the job. If I only had one complaint it would be that the case is difficult to keep clean. Lint sticks to the case and is difficult to clean off.

When I first got an iphone, I went through a lot of cases. The Unobtanium Oakley case fits perfectly and offers the best protection and grip of any that I tried. I love the look too. Overall, I am thrilled with the case and hope Oakley makes a case to protect the next series of phones.

As a busy courier I need a good phone like the iphone and a f&%king tough case as I'm in and out of trucks/vans half and the time on the phone to a client as well. If it wasn't for the case I would have had to replace my phone at least 4 times due to dropping it from 2m plus in height onto concrete. It just bounced with no damage to the case or phone. Best case ever!

Have any of you guys played Command and Conquer: Kane's Wrath? You know the epic units? The huge ass tank for GDI and the two walker units for Nod and Scrin? Well this is all three of those epic units combined for the iPhone - any other skin or case out there just pales in comparison in terms of:

1)Aggressive design - it's Oakley after all
2)Functionality - it's made to be abused
3)Size - hardly the most practical size BUT saying that it's fit in all my pockets so far but the average joe/y out there would probably complain! Only snag is that due to the design of the grip every time I take it out my pocket, it takes the pocket inside out with it!

I really don't have any faults with the case - it protects the phone and all the button recesses WORK really well. The phone look like a tank and I dare someone to play rugby/football with this thing on (on a dry day - it's not water proof).

Only other thing I'd slate is the price, but granted most things by Oakley are pricey. However that won't matter since my next point is that this case, at the time of writing, Oakley are phasing out - why phase out out something for one of the most popular phones about?

Either way, if you have an iPhone and appreciate Oakley's aggressive design and interpretation of protection then I heartily recommend this.

Personally I think that this is THE best iPhone case on the market. Two great brands have come together nicely on this product. The Unobtainium is the perfect combination of grippyness and smoothness so that it doesn't slip around, but is still possible to get in and out of your pocket, even in fairly tight jeans. The design is awesome; this actually transforms the whole feel of your iPhone into a different more robust device. Feels great as a grip playing games, or against your face. Gets lots of notice. If it gets a little dusty from your pockets in the groves, just rinse it off in the sink. It comes clean easily. The pictures show the Oakley iPhone surf app running, which is cool. By the way, this case is great for the beach or camping.
All of this being said, this is not an everyday use case because it is simply too big to slip into a lot of my pockets. It also makes the iPhone too large to fit into the iPhone pocket in my Oakley Sideswipe snowboarding jacket. I have to take the case off every night to charge it with my alarm clock dock, but few cases do fit in that, so I'm not complaining. After taking the case on and off everyday, the rubber has started to weaken on the bottom where it is thinner, and it is becoming loose.
The main design problem is (and others have mentioned this) that they did not design the volume controls well. The power button is fine - there is a stem inside the case that pushes the buttons when you push the top, but the volume buttons on the side lack this. The effect is that the volume changes when you hold the side of the case anywhere, and if you try to turn it up, it might go down. I have no idea why they released it like this. But still, I think it's the best case out there.

A superb case for your iphone and represents Oakley well. I particularly like the way it stands up so you can rest the phone on a surface when you're watching video. Combine this with a screen cover and the only way to protect your iphone better would be to keep it in a waterproof box.

On the bad side the case adds a fair bit of bulk to a slim phone and the rubber makes it a bit difficult to get out of your jeans pocket, especially if you're sitting down. Also the buttons could be a little bit better thought out.

If you want hard-core protection for your iPhone, you got it.

The Oakley iPhone case definitely has to be one of the toughest cases I've seen for this phone. Not to mention the most unique looking. It's easy to hold, doesn't have the bowing issues that similar gel cases have, and still allows ease of use for the touch screen. But overall, I think the durability it adds to your iPhone has to be the key selling point. While I wouldn't recommend or condone doing so, I've told people that I would feel quite confident in my iPhone's survival if I were to drop it off a second-story balcony. Not that I'm going to test this anytime soon, of course.

The only real issue I have with this case is the volume keys. I don't think there was proper enough research or time put in to making the volume keys accessible, but still covered. From time to time I have problems with the volume keys being pressed if I put enough pressure on the case near that area. It's not often enough to be a deal-breaker, but it can be a nuisance.

it does fit witht he iphone 3g i work at an oakley store and sell it to many iphone 3g owners. I do't know who toldyou but they are mistaken

Looks tight but I would LOVE it if they made a case for the HTC Touch HD (if you've never heard of it, look it up) the one true iPhone KILLER.

I would love to get this case but apparently it doesnt work with the 3g version. Can anyone enlighten me as to why it doesn't. Is it because of the thickness of the two phones?:- wondering if i can get around it somehow!

I've had this case for at least 6 months now and I absolutely love it. I couldn't tell you how many compliments I've had from it. The mass it adds to the phone never really bothered me. I think it adds masculinity to it. All the buttons work fine, the volume control on the side, as well as the hole on the back for the camera matches up perfectly. I'm such a huge oakley that I've waited on getting the new iPhone because I like this case so much!

I used the case for a week, but now i removed it. I think it makes a thin phone a lot thicker. Als the top button didn't work with the case around my phone. When i push this button, it does not react or the button stays pushed in so my phone turns off.
I think it needs improvement.

I have had the case now for a few days and am very pleased with it. I wanted this case because of its ability to hold its shape and not stretch out. The case fits very tight around the phone w/o affecting how any of the buttons work. I was concerned about what appeared to be additional size added since the case wasn't round on the edges. Well, I can still put the phone in all of my pockets without any problems... So don't let the size deter you.

It's the convergence of two great items.

Are you sure, it must be Oakley then that are mistaken as it states it on their website?

However if that is the case i shall purchase one and award it top rating!
