I just received the new Griffin Outfit Ice case for the iPhone4 and thought I’d take it for a spin.
Compared to a bumper case I’d recently used on the phone, this one is a winner right out the box: It’s lighter and all of the ports remain exposed for ease of use.
The Outfit Ice comes in red, blue, black, and bright pink. The case comes in two pieces that firmly snap together.
You simply lay the iPhone into the bottom portion and click the top rim all around until it’s solid.
Its texture and matte finish feel soft to the touch and the grip feels like I’ve got the phone solidly in my hand.
My personal measure of a case’s success is whether it will automatically launch iTunes using a retractable USB that lives on my Apple Cinema Display. Some cases contain port openings that cover the port in a way that prevents this from happening. This one didn’t cause any problems. Awesome.
I also found no problems taking photos with the camera. The hole on the back of the case doesn’t seem to cause any issues with flash usage.
Overall, I’d recommend this product for its ease of putting on (and taking off) the phone, its weight, and solid design.
The Outfit Ice retails for US $29.99.
