Product Description
Based on the iSee iPhone v3, the Contour HardSkin retains all of the protective qualities of that underlying chassis. From the durable hardshell to the click-through buttons covering the volume and power switches, the HardSkin iPhone v3 offers total protection, while still allowing full access to all of the controls. Add to all that the rich texture of its rubber finish, and you will know without a doubt when you are holding a Contour HardSkin. Complete access to the headphone port and power button with removable silicone plugs and click through covers The iPhone's speakers and dock port are fully protected, yet easily accessible

 Hardskin V3 November 16, 2008
Mac Fan (Milledgeville, GA United States)
The is the best protective case that I have found. It installs very easily and protects buttons, earphone jack, and sync port. The only problem I've found is that the rubber insert that covers the sync port eventually splits off from the rubberized backing of the case. Actually, I've found I prefer it without this cover, since before it had to be opened with each charge or sync cycle. Included is a plastic belt clip that works fine if you prefer carrying the iPhone that way. Personally I've found that my pocket works out best.Hardskin V3 for Apple iPhone (Black)
A very protective understated iphone case September 15, 2008
Don J. Brand
Contour seems to have corrected the faults mentioned by critical reviewers. The "silent" switch is now easily accessible to my rather stubby fingers, and the rubber switch covers do not impede use whatsoever (in fact I prefer the response when I have the covers on). The case clicks together with a satisfying and reassuring firmness and the fit is so precise that there are places where it is difficult to discern a seam.
Originally I got this case because I thought the rubberized layer would add a shock-absorbing quality to the very positively reviewed Contour 3v polycarbonate shell. What I did not expect was how convincingly protected the iphone is when placed in the holster with its very secure and positive belt clip. This convinced me to constantly carry my iphone in this fashion.
My wife thinks it looks great.
Con: It does not come with a screen protector.
 V3 Does NOT Equal 3G September 9, 2008
Eric L. Martin (Seattle WA USA)
I got this for my iPhone 3G, only to discover that it does not fit the 3G. My mistake to be sure, but the V3 in the title makes it easy to confuse.
Solid case, with one minor (and surmountable) exception July 17, 2008

This is a solid case. It snaps together sturdily, and it has a great feel. It is slightly rubbery, but much less so than other cases. It doesn't stick going in or out of my pocket, but it gives me a better grip on the iPhone (which is really slippery without a case!)
The case is mostly rigid, with a bit of flexibility. It's quite thin, and doesn't make the phone too bulky to easily pocket. There are covers for the power switch and the volume buttons and the dock, but I don't use them.
The case looks great, visually. It is great for people who want their iPhone to be inconspicuous. It has a nice matte finish, and the "Countour" logo text on the back is small, and done in a way that it doesn't look like text at all... it just looks like a little swoosh with some vertical lines. Very much appreciated.
The only problem I've had with this case is that the opening for the ring/silent switch doesn't extend down enough towards the back of the phone. So while it is easy to flip to switch to "silent," it is hard to get it back, as the switch sits flush against the start of the cover, and it is hard to get a fingernail in between the two. I remedied this with a pair of cuticle trimmers and a knife. I literally cut down about 2mm and now I can easily flick the switch. The modification took about a minute, and didn't particularly require a lot of skill.
