As an owner of an expensive device like the iphone you want to ensure that you give the device adequate protection against everyday mishaps like bumps, scrapes etc. This case is easy to fit (including the clear plastic cover that protects the iphone screen) but also still gives you access to the docking station port, the camera, and the buttons on the side and along the top. You also get the added bonus that you actually get 2 cases and you can alternate the colours in any combination that you desire (i.e green front and back, clear/black front and back, green front, clear back etc). You also get a cloth for cleaning the screen as well. All in all a great product.
