Protection for your electronic leash September 1, 2007
Model:Clear color, sized for extended battery
Usage time: 8 months
The case fits the device perfectly. Note that skin type cases come in two sizes, one for the standard battery and one for the extended. Make sure you get the one that fits your Q.
The case makes the devices "sticky". This is great if what you want is to not dropt the device. I dropped mine almost daily before I got the case. With the case I dropped it maybe once in 8 months. This also keeps the Q in place when you set it down, on a desk, dashboard, etc. It won't slide off. The skin has prevented mine from vibrating off the desk when it rang at least once.
The skin does make using the device "different" and requires some adjustement. One reviewer suggested that the skin makes the device difficult or impossible to use. That person is impatient. Of course it makes it a little harder to use. There is a layer of silicone between you and the device! It will take geting used to, and at first it will be a little frustrating, but you will get the hang of it.
If, as one reviewer suggested, if you want to keep the device in your pocket, don't get a skin, period. You won't get it in or out of your pocket without a struggle. I would think this would apply to any device with a skin, and has nothing to do with the quality or design of the product. If you keep it in a , purse, etc., then no issues.
My skin has ripped. It's pretty tough but if you man-handle it, it will rip. If you chnage batteries a lot, or take the skin on and off a lot for whatever reason, it will stretch a little. Having said that, mine still fits despite rough treatment and constant on and off.
I am about to buy my second boxwave skin for my Q. One way to read that is after 8 minths you need to replace it? Another way is that the product is good enough so I bought the same thing when I needed another. I consider these types of skins disposable. They will not last as long as the device. It costs less than $20. What do people expect? I expected a year and got about 8 months. That's why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars.
Also, because the skin sits between your Q and the outside world, it gets dirty, not your Q. After 8 months to a year, you will want a clean one too. Cheapskates can save money by washing it, I suppose. Let me know how that works out for you.
