I just broke down and got my first iPhone, and I’m wondering what took me so long to get one (probably the price). The first thing I thought when I held it was that it desperately needed a case. A hard case that is slip-proof. And protects the screen. And, as I discovered after spending 16 hours in aircrafts, one that has a stand for watching movies. Enter the iVak from gear4. This case satisfied all of these needs and looked cool doing it.

What it is: The iVak is a hard case for your iPhone that is composed of two pieces, basically the front and back. However, they fit together about 3/4 of the way down the backside, which prevents the case from “splitting” in half. Trust me, this can and does happen with cases that simply couple at the middle. There is also a screen protector that is integrated into the front piece. And for you business types, a handy belt clip to show off your iPhone prowess.

It’s getting to the point where there are almost as many styles of iPhone cases as there are iPod cases to choose from. Given that, you say, how did this one rate?

Exceptionally well. While this is a hard case (versus a rubberized one) it has a mildly texturized surface that minimizes slipping if you set it on a smooth surface. (more…)
