Gucci iPhone Case
Written on 7:11 PM by c meridian
I bought this way back in July in anticipation if the iPhone 3g. I love the way it looks with my iPhone 3G and how it makes my phone stand out from the thousands, if not millions of other iPhone users out there.
To be frank, it is not designed to be an iPhone case. It is a gucci cigarette case, but it fits perfectly, especially with the silicone case on the iPhone 3G. Without the silicone case, it is slightly loose.
But stillpretty good fit, I would say. It's not like there's any other alternative. It's either this or some highly priced dodgy faux leather unknown brand case or those horrible plastic / vinyl cases. Either way, they're just way too fugly for this beautifully crafted phone.
I'm extremely happy with this Gucci case.
I have bought the Louis Vuitton iPhone case in Taiga leather before (as a gift) and while it is indeed more GLAM, will not fit the iPhone 3g. The new generation iPhone is slightly thicker (by 0.7mm to be exact). And due to the exacting construction of the 1st gen Louis Vuitton cases, that small difference can be too tight. Actually, I have heard of users damaging their LV cases because of the extremely snug fit.
So there you go. If you want a gorgeous posh case for your iphone 3G, you can look at the Gucci cigarette cases, like mine. I know for a fact that Fendi, Louis Vuitton and Dunhill makes them. And they should fit just as well.
Here's hoping that the designer brands will start making iPhone covers, now that the much coveted Apple phone has gone global. In the meantime, check out the cigarette cases.
Happy shopping!

I think Apple fanatics are misunderstood here. Yes, as with any subculture, there will always be the "fanatics" so to speak. As much as there are Hello Kitty fanatics in Harajuku and gym addicts in the wilderness of Singapore's concrete jungle.
But for most part, it's just that Apple users like myself find it hard to grasp that there is something so wrong with our iPods and Macbooks. And I think a lot of users out there just find it unfair when people expect the products to come with a kitchen sink and hot showers.
Just think about it. How many people would receive hits from reviewing a Dell Latitude M1530 laptop or a Samsung smartphone? Why does Xiaxue review the iPhone? It has sensationalism written all over it.
When Apple releases a product, everyone expects it to be infallibly perfect. And there's no such things as perfect. The iPhone, being the first phone from the computer maker is definitely not perfect, and I know, I have one. But compare that with the buzz from the first Microsoft Windows smartphone? Who knew what it was called? What does it look like? Nobody knows.
I think as much as people find using Apple products cool, there are those who find it cool to critique.
I personally use Apple products because it's a better designed operating system. I don't fumble and go hunting for the tiny icons and press YES/OK ineccessantly just to detach a USB device. Or get confused over the messy Control Panel each time I want to uninstall programs or change the screen setting. Everything works and some people like to pay for that kind of peace-of-mind. Some people, obviously don't.
But we don't go all Jehovah's Witness on people who don't use Apple. Not knocking on doors and such. Users like us, just don't want the things we enjoy using to be nitpicked. When there are more things that's awfully wrong with the 1,000,001 products out there in the market today.
I think Xiaxue should go review a Creative Zen or a HTC Touch. And tell me if those products are NOT TOO COOL FOR NAILS too.
But where's the review?
