We’re half way through moving into a new office. Lifting heavy items… we need a case for our iPhone, otherwise it would end-up smashed into small pieces.
Fortunately, we’ve been using the QDOS Jetskin, a scratch resistant, shock absorbing silicone skin.
Unlike most cases the QDOS Jet Skin doesn’t really alter the appearance of your iPhone. The skin has large cut-outs for the usual headphone, power button, volume rockers and vibrate switch. But QDOS have also made a cut-out for the Apple logo on the rear, a nice touch. The case has a slight, rubbery feel to it – with a good amount of flex. Just take a look at the pictures below and you’ll see how much movement there is in the skin. That translates to the skin been able to absorb drops and bumps pretty well.
The silicone skin also looks very good, finished in a deep piano gloss type black. This would look better on a black iPhone, but still looks pretty suave.
Included in the box, you’ll also find a earphone holder (with concealed hold for the included cleaning cloth) and an anti-glare film for the screen.
