We have received a multitude of Dragonfly cases for review that are all compatible with the iPhone 3G and 3GS. DragonFly has some great and unique designs to will fit many users. In anticipation of the new Apple iPhone 4 holders we reviewed the current line up of the Apple iPhone 3G and 3GS models.
The models we received are as followed:
- The Dragonfly DF Shield Carbon Black
- The Dragonfly DF Case Hollywood Grain Black
- The Dragonfly DF Skin Rezza Neon Green
- The Dragonfly DF Case Monster Box
- The Dragonfly DF Case Portable Carbon Black
- The Homade ChocoCase
The Dragonfly DF Shield Carbon Black
The Dragonfly DF Shield Carbon Black is a very nice case, if you are looking at style rather than drop protection. The case is a simple plastic snap on case with a design on-top of the carbon black layer of color. Putting the whole line of cases side by side, the Shield Carbon case definitely stands out the most because of the genuine design on the back. There truly are no real drawbacks to this case if you are looking for a good style for your iPhone. The cool design on the back also gives more of a grip to your iPhone because of the slightly raised design. I noticed this right away as soon as I snapped on the case. This makes your iPhone feel twice as comfortable in your hand compared to a bare iPhone.
The Dragonfly DF Case Hollywood Grain Black
The Dragonfly DF Case Hollywood case is extremely convenient for the people who enjoy using media on their iPhone. The Hollywood case has a specially designed stand so your iPhone can stand horizontally on a flat surface for viewing video with the greatest of ease. I used this feature once, and I must admit, the stand works, but is at some moments slightly unstable. If there were two fold out stands that would greatly improve the stability of the device. The case itself not including the stand is very durable, made from an almost leather-like material, giving the case a very durable and rugged feeling to it. When the iPhone is inserted into the case, it does add quite a bit of bulk to your phone. This is caused mainly by the flip out stand. Overall, the Hollywood case is another great creation from Dragonfly for the iPhone.
The Dragonfly DF Skin Rezza Neon Green
Having used the Dragonfly DF Skin Rezza case for over two days, I will tell you about this one first. The Rezza case overall is a very nice case. When the phone is inserted into the silicone based shell, you have a sense of security because of the nice and grippy texture. On the back of the case where there is also a smooth plastic surface which gives the case a more expensive feel. This is so far my favorite case, mainly because of the neon green color and gray backing, which is a great combination for an iPhone case. This case gets the highest rating out of all of them for me at least because it keeps the original iPhone shape without adding too much bulk to the phone itself.
The Dragonfly DF Case Monster Box
We also had the pleasure to test the Monster Box Case from Dragonfly. This is probably the most rugged case on the market currently for the iPhone. “It is a monster to get the phone in, and a monster to get it out,” but once it is in, you have unbelievable drop protection. From what I can see, there are two layers of protection, the outer shell which is a leather-like material and a very shock absorbent rubber/plastic on the inside closest to your phone. This case is ideal for those people who have strenuous jobs such as construction workers, etc. I myself didn’t have much experience with this case because I really had a hard time getting the phone in and a really hard time getting the phone out. If you are someone who likes to take your iPhone out of the case to put onto a docking station, you might want to look at one of the other cases above. Overall, this is a great heavy duty case.
The Dragonfly DF Case Portable Carbon Black
The Portable Carbon Case from Dragonfly has the same genuine design as the Shield Carbon Case, but the design on this case is raised slightly more, giving it more of a grip compared to the Shield Carbon Case. Outlining the Apple logo and the camera opening there is chrome trim, giving it a more expensive look when looking at all of the cases side by side. This case when on the iPhone has less bulk compared to the Hollywood case, because it has an overall slimmer design. The inside of the case also has something nice. There is some felt lining covering the area where the back of the iPhone would be making contact with the case itself. This keeps the iPhone in a prestige condition, especially because this case also offers some shock absorption and protection. Because this case still adds some bulk to your iPhone, it is not my favorite compared to the Rezza case which even fits in my Sony Speaker System and Docking station.
The Homade ChocoCase
Finally we have the Homade ChocoCase from Dragonfly. I love chocolate, but this isn’t really my taste regarding cases. On the back it looks almost identical to a Hershey chocolate bar. This case is the most protective because it is a silicone sleeve that wraps around the iPhone. It is overall a great idea, but the Mobility Minded community I think is going to stick with the other more useful cases regarding protection and style, all of them listed above.
