I had post here when I was searching for a good case that is aesthetically pleasing but not take the spotlight from iPhone’s stunning design. I settled with cheap iPod socks.
Now, 7 months have passed, how did iPod socks fare? How does my iPhone look?
I accidentally tossed the purple sock into the garbage at the Seattle airport.
Boyfriend hijacked the gray sock for his camera.
I still change the sock daily to match my outfit. Thank god I don’t have any purple shirt, but I sure do miss the gray one.
Some colors are getting really dirty. I’m considering tossing the in the washer and see if they’ll survive.
The socks don’t cover the entire iphone. There’s always a section about 0.75″ long that is exposed.
I dropped my iPhone without the sock at least 5 times (6~ 9 times to be precise), on the sidewalk, wooden floor, carpet and linoleum floor.
I’ve got lazy and sometimes I just put the phone in my purse without the sock on. It rubs against my huge set of keys, a pen, and some other stuff I don’t care to remember.
My iPhone looks IMPECCABLE! There are minor scratches on 3 corners of the metal frame (I think mostly from being dropped on the ground), but no scratch on the glass surface, and no scratch on the back. The part that is not covered by the sock looks the same as any other part of the phone.
I honesty don’t think iPod socks provide much protection. Most importantly, iPhone doesn’t need any protection.
I will still continue to use the sock. Not only does it look so cute, it provides nice friction when I hold the phone. I only dropped the phone without the sock on, because it gets slippery.
It’s such a great fashion statement. In company meetings, I see many girls with impeccable blow-dried hair, subtle yet beautiful makeup, well-tailored suits, and the cutest heels. As soon as they put their iPhones on the table with bulky masculine black leather cases… the record scratch sound goes off, music stops.
