What It Is

  • The Griffin Wave Case is a protective shell case for the iPhone 3G (only)
  • The case is made of an impact-resistant polycarbonate shell (a hard plastic)
  • Features:
    • Wave-shaped closure grips with maximum surface area
    • Durable polycarbonate protection
    • Rigid touchscreen protector allows complete control of your iPhone
    • Full access to buttons and ports

The Good

  • Your iPhone is actually protected – it’ll take a lot to get a scratch through this case
  • The case comes with a 1 year warranty
  • The case comes with a durable screen protector which doesn’t hinder touch-screen usage at all
  • Easy to put together (and take apart)
  • You can mix and match colors
  • Fairly priced (relative to other iPhone 3G cases)

____________________________________________________________________________

The Bad

  • The screen and protective cover must be thoroughly degreased with alcohol prior to application because otherwise the protector will stick to the screen and leave behind disgusting smudge marks.
  • The polycarbonate plastic feels like a cheap plastic toy.
  • Condensation builds between the case and the iPhone 3G.

The Verdict


If you’re looking for solid body and screen protection, this case is for you. But if you’re not a fan of hard plastic (perhaps you have repressed memories of cheap pharmacy toys) then steer clear of the Griffin Wave.
