Cingular Go Phone: Pelican i1015 Black Case With Clear Lid For iPhone Water Resistant Review

This case is great! As with all Pelican products, build quality is excellent. I designed a custom retention system which consists of a length of tensioned webbing running along the back and 2 metal clips to securely and effortlessly strap it to my belt, and a "mini wallet" compartment - which is a folded piece of cardboard tucked in the front between the two foam spacers. I used the cardboard from my iPhone packaging, and centered the package's super cool metallic Apple logo in the viewing area over it's sleek black background.

This case could be better if it had the mini wallet built in so I didn't have to add it, but I am perfectly satisfied with my solution. The headphone storage could also have used much more thought - if you just stuff your headphones in the bottom of the storage area, they will cause you grief by making it difficult to rapidly remove and insert the iPhone without getting attacked by them. I am working on a special "cage" to coil the headphones around before inserting them into the case.

My final complaint with this case is the most serious, and it's a major flaw with the current design. The audio throughput cable has only three wires - not four - so it is impossible to use your iPhone headphone's microphone or music control button when the iPhone is in the case. There is absolutely no excuse for this, and I was very disappointed to find it out. I can't wait for Pelican to release an updated case - or even to just mail me a new cable that I could install once they get this figured out.
