I am not usually one to leave review comments... but I certainly read a BUNCH of reviews on cases for my iPhone 3G.THANK YOU to all those who wrote reviews and helped me pick the Otterbox Defender case!This case is awesome.VERY durable, all functions are accessible... and yes, the oil slicking effect is sometimes present, but easily fixed.
The ONLY issue I had when I installed the case was that immediately after I installed the case, almost 95% of all people I talked to said they heard an echo every time they spoke (you know, when you say something and a second later you hear it in your ear piece... ANNOYING!).
I was bummed because the case is built like a tank and already saved my phone from a 6' drop onto the asphalt in the rain.Though, I decided to remove the felt pieces that cover the mic and ear pieces since they are only there to prevent possible drops of water hitting those phone components directly.Once I removed those pieces, not one person complains of hearing the echo anymore!Strange, but it worked... so I wanted to pass it on.
The echo was the ONLY issue I had with this case... it's the best case I could find and WELL worth the money.I recommend it to everyone I see with an iPhone now :-)

This was purchased as a camera case while boating. The camera is a Kodak EasyShare Z8612IS. A perfect fit, with a small amount of space left to make it easy to get in and out. There is light padding inside the container which gives it added protection. I listed the type camera to give you an idea of the fit and to know that you couldn't put a cell phone in with it.
