Parra x Incase — iPhone 3G Slider Case

Dutch artist’ Par­ra adds some col­ors to the infa­mous Incase iPhone 3G Slid­er Case. Why “infa­mous”? Because I wrote about a while back in August before get­ting one for myself. All I can say is that it has served me well, and has lived up to the hype that it brought ever since com­ing out for the first-gen­er­a­tion iPhones.

But alas, though Par­ra’s design is dope, I just don’t know if it suits my iPhone per­son­al­ly. But that’s just me. Any­ways, if you would like to get your hands on it, stay tuned to Ark­i­tip who will be curat­ing the piece on Octo­ber 24, 2008.

Incase Slider for iPhone 3G

Sweet­ness! Final­ly. I’ve heard so much good things about the Incase Slid­er (case) for the first-gen iPhones. I rig­or­ous­ly tried to do some research if there were any for the iPhone 3G a few weeks ago. I lat­er found out even­tu­al­ly that it won’t be released till mid-August (now). At least, it’s here and that Incase has kept true to their words.

Here’s a brief descrip­tion that was on the Incase Slid­er for iPhone 3G:

Our most pop­u­lar case for the first gen­er­a­tion iPhone is now avail­able for iPhone 3G. For the finest in sleek, durable pro­tec­tion, the Slid­er Case for iPhone 3G is made of hard­shell plas­tic and fea­tures a min­i­mal wall thick­ness of 1mm. Inte­ri­or rub­ber guardrails pro­vide shock absorp­tion in addi­tion to impact and scratch pro­tec­tion.

Fea­tures

* Durable iPhone 3G pro­tec­tion
* Light­weight hard­shell plas­tic con­struc­tion
* Direct access to widescreen
* Easy access to all con­trols and device fea­tures
* Allows charg­ing while in case or bot­tom cov­er slides away for dock­ing
* Avail­able in mat­te and gloss fin­ish­es

I think I’ll be grab­bing one of the “black mat­te” ones soon. Although the “white gloss” ver­sion is look­ing clean too. I’m say­ing this because I have a 16GB Black, and I can always just take out the case if I am wear­ing a suit or some­thing (which hap­pens rarely, but been numer­ous late­ly due to wed­dings).

All-in-all, I think it’ll be sell­ing like hot cakes as the case for the first-gen did very well and left a very fla­vor­ful impres­sion amongst iPhone-case fan­boys, and fan­girls. Then again, I might be wrong—different stroke for dif­fer­ent folks.

Update
For a walk­through of the Slid­er’s func­tion­al­i­ty, here’s a video review of the Incase Slid­er for the first-gen:
