Very good protection and useful close-up lens

I was never a friend of cases for mobile phones and PDAs. The old iPhone I have always carried in his pocket, because the housing and the glass are extremely robust. Until then I have found that the lens of the camera, or the transparent cover, obviously are very susceptible to scratching. All photos of the camera had over time a "softening effect" because the incident light in the scratches broke. Thus, the camera had become more or less useless.

Therefore, I immediately looked for the acquisition of the 3GS after an envelope and then I ended up with the Clarifi. This case has everything I was looking for in a shell:

- As little increase in size, so that I can carry the iPhone and its case is still comfortably in your pocket
- Best protection for the camera lens
- Compatibility with a car holder
- Inexpensive

The Macro lens is a nice bonus to which it actually did not got me so. However, this feature has proven in the context of an app for barcode scanning already as helpful.

At a Glance:

Pro:
+ Good protection of the back and the edge
+ Good protection of sensitive camera lens
+ Macro lens good inter alia for photo-notes or barcode Apps
+ Shell contributes minimally to

Contraindications:
- Sliding mechanism of the macro lens wear out over time, so that the camera lens is not always fully protected

Tip:
Who wants to fix the iPhone, including this envelope in the car, I recommend the holders of Brodit. Since there is a bracket that holds the iPhone and its case by laterally adjustable holding jaws. This saves one the permanent removal of the iPhone out of the case and prevents thus probably also their wear before.
