Product Description Xylo Touch-Thru (T3) case by IvySkin is the first of its kind to provide a hard screen shell over the iPhone 3G. XyloT3 enables you to navigate the iPhone's screen with a hard scratch-resistant shield. Surface Xylo Wave (SXW) technology passes ultrasonic waves over the touch screen panel and transfers them to the iPhone's screen without any interference. The touch screen panel is coated with a special material that conducts a continuous electrical current across the shield. It is an extremely durable screen that is suited for use in industrial control systems and other harsh environments. IvySkin xyloT3's provides a solid .5mm hard screen. Sleek and crystal clear qualities of a traditional polycarbonate case combine with an ultra-thin hard screen cover that stays on the case, to protect the iPhone's screen from every angle. The XyloT3 delivers on its promise to protect your iPhone 3G.
Customer Reviews:
Not happyNovember 9, 2008 The first Ivyskin Xylo T3 I received would not stay snapped shut at the top (by the lock button). I sent it back and Amazon graciously replaced it with another. The replacement stayed snapped shut at the top...only for 2 weeks. Now it, too, comes unsnapped at the top.
The built in screen cover misses touches, especially towards this edge of the screen or towards the corners. This is particularly a problem when hitting the space bar when entering text. How annoying.
Unlike my first two concerns which are functional, my third issue is cosmetic. Where the screen cover unevenly makes contact with the screen, there 'appears' to be fluid. This visual disparity is extremely unattractive and completely takes away from the vibrance of the display, which is a strong point of the iphone. I often get questions: "What's wrong with your screen?" and "What happened to your phone?"
For $40, this case is priced on the high side for iphone cases. That's high price to tolerate in addition to the above flaws.
