Griffin Technology Elan Sleeve for iPhone 1G

   It works well. My only minor complaint is that it only fits correctly when the screen faces out which exposes it to damage. It can be inserted with the back facing out but the speaker, camera, etc cutouts are not in the correct place. They supply a clear screen cover but I do not like them. The case is well made, functional and fits close to the body. Redleg

   I picked up the leather Griffin Elan Sleeve for the Apple's iPhone in search for a more protective case with a belt clip. The case looked like it offered more protection than the leather Incase case I am presently using on my iPhone. I like the Elan Sleeve because it has more protection around the iPhone camera lens on the top of the iPhone and the phone fits tight in the case. The case comes with a plastic mask but it does not cover the home button. In addition it comes with a cleaning cloth. The sleeve has a two directional belt clip which can be used vertical or horizontal direction. Being able to change direction without having to purchase an additional case is a great benefit. If you need to change direction you just pull out the clip out and change direction. I found the clip belt clip weak compared to the Incase I am presently using. The sleeve does not fit snug around the iPhone home button and the leather seems to flair up making it harder to access the home button. I found the Griffin Elan Sleeve for the Apple's iPhone to be a good case. It offers good protection for a leather case. However, the case does not fit well around the home button and the belt clip is weak.

   I received this and opened it up to find the adjustable elastic armband with hook and loop closure was missing. This feature along with the belt clip were the specific reasons I ordered this product. Also, the static peel screen protector had tabs on there that were hard to peel off without leaving a lot of glue. After cleaing off the glue, there is no way this will stick to the iPhone screen. I immediately tried to contact Amazon and they had an email set up to contact the seller of this product, Eforcity. Two and a half days later I am still waiting for any contact back from Eforcity. I am very disappointed with this product and with with this seller.
