What I Learned

I was making it more difficult than it really is and applied the back to my iPhone 3G, but not the front. It had holes it in and my iPhone did not. What I didn't understand, except only after reading the "iPhone The Missing Manual" book is that there are hidden sensors under the glass that need to see and the makers of TatSkinz understood that, but I did not. I was looking at the holes and called the company and made my self appear rather foolish because I didn't watch the online videos. I assumed the packages sent to me were for the iPod and not the iPhone. I was so wrong. The vinyl does not cover the sides or ends, only the front and back. Minimalist design.

Anyway, the vinyl protects the plastic from getting scratched and has the correct holes for the camera and the Apple logo and does a great job covering the front by acting as a bezel for the device. It does the job it was designed for. It doesn’t slip off. And it really does make a unique device that soon will become ubiquitous, truly unique.

Conclusion

You want something to protect the plastic iPhone from getting scratched? This will do it for the front and back.
