This skin is over priced but it does do a fine job. The clear cover is a nice addition but only when i have it in my motorcycle bag. For everyday use it's near useless.
The screen protector got a lot of use in the beginning, but over time i stopped using that as well. Dropped my phone several times since I've put it on, and before i put it on. Love this case. Cleans up with a little water. Its starting to rip on the front side on the corners of the screen area from removing and putting on the case, but it has not compromised the protection of the phone. I wish they had attached the plug cover to the case, i have since lost mine, but that was a nice feature. It does keep dirt inside the case if you happen to get it in there and the chrome bezel has some finite scratches on it, not a big deal. Get this case if you have that Original iPhone and want to keep it safe.
However the rubber, especially in the black color attacts a lot of dust. I got the case becasue I keep the phone in my pocket. Nice case and arrived as expected. There is a constant white haze around the phone. I wanted a port cover to keep the dust out of the ports. It does that. I would avoid the black color and go with something that showed less dust if at all possible. The rubber also "sticks" in my pocket, but I expected that it would.
In other words, they will only replace the clip if it's defective in someway. I bought the Nighthawk for my 2.5 iphone and can't be happier with the protection it provides.I don't use the privacy screen, which seems pretty useless to me. I agree with most of the opinions shared here. But it's to also warn you off from buying their great looking belt clip elsewhere that will break with the least little hook or tweak on anything. A very poor design for a very nice clip. But because it's all plastic, I can not recommend the clip to anyone.So this review is two fold, to say the Revo Nighthawk iPhone case is a great one, even though you can get cheaper and probably won't use the accessories that come with it.
Or maybe you will.I bought the Revo belt clip from iSkin so I could keep my iPhone on my belt as I have all my other cell phones. Just be aware that it is more money and you probably won't use the other things that come with it. THEN I read reviews about their construction. The Revo belt clip, which I do not believe is available on Amazon.com, looks great, holds the phone perfectly, and I was very happy with it.until it broke. I won't repeat the already great information provided by the other purchasers of the Revo iSkin case for the iPhone. Hook your belt clip on anything, as I did, and snap. The clip is history.
Their website warranty says they have a life time warranty on the clip. But only on defective workmanship, NOT on breakage while using. The joint and swivel for the clip are all plastic, not metal. I had already ordered a different brand of screen protector which I like better and have that on the screen.The reason I ordered this cover was a friend of mine had one and after all the ones I had personally looked at, this seemed to be the sturdiest, which would offer the most protection to my phone.So if you are considering buying this, I can't see how you will not be happy. They won't replace the clip because it was poorly designed and manufactured and breaks when the least pressure is put on it from force.
And it's very easy to break. There is one metal piece in the clip but it is a spring. If the clip was made with an all metal swivel joint, it would be the perfect belt clip to house the Nighthawk. You can find better belt clips or iPhone cases right here at Amazon.
The only reason I'm replacing my first one is that I have a tear on the top left corner that's causing it to fit a little loosely. I've had this on my iPhone for 10 months now, and I'm a hardcore iPhone user. I bought this the day I bought my iPhone, and I wouldn't carry one without it. I've dropped my phone a few times with it in this case and have had no problems at all. I definitely feel like it's protected my investment and it's the only one I'm considering for my second protector.
