Marware C.E.O. Sleeve for iPhone 3G
Regret
Written by MA from Springboro
Aug 22, 2008
I've had my iPhone 3G for two weeks, and I purchased the Marware CEO at the local Apple store at the same time. It looks great, seemed to work okay, but yesterday, when leaving my car in a parking lot, the glue joins on the clip mount all failed, and the iphone (with sleeve) hit the pavement. Perhaps some angled pressure caused the failure, but this never happened with my blackberry holder, and it was the first time I sat in my car with it on my belt.
I believe the glue to what looks like a cardboard, is a poor design. Now my new iphone has severe scratches on the chrome ring, Murphy decided that it would hit the ground on the open end first.
I now regret that I bought the device to protect my new phone. If I had known the clip mount was attached so poorly, I wouldn't have trusted it to stay on my hip. …More141 of 153 people found this useful

Great Functionsality - Poor Wearability
Written by SH from Oakville
Sep 10, 2008
Bought this in Toronto on July 11 after picking up my new 3G. Loved the case. The only thing that might have improved the design was a snap tab on the top to lock the phone in.
Unfortunately, the quality of material is sadly lacking for Marware product. Within one week, the corners/edges of the case lost the top shiny coating of the "leatherette" and show the second layer of dull grayish/black material.
I took it back to the Apple Store and they offered a replacement, but I didn't bother because the sales rep and I both agreed that it would just happen again.
I have a number of Marware products and love them, but this case should have held up better. No response from them when I emailed to ask about this.
Hope this helps. …More63 of 65 people found this useful

Marware C.E.O. Sleeve for iPhone 3G
Marware CEO is an excellent case
Written by DS from Vancouver
Aug 19, 2008
This was exactly what i was looking for.
I wanted a case which wouldnt ruin the beauty of the iphone.
The case is relatively loose so the iphone slips in quite easily. Hold the case upside down and the iphone remains inside the case (as there is no strap). you would need to really shake it hard upside down for it to fall out, otherwise, unlike other pouches, this allows you to pinch both corners of the phone allowing you to use the sleep button as a grip to easily and quickly slide the phone out.
it is quite thin and the leather is soft and high quality.
the optional belt clip is easy to slide on, and it very secure. removing the belt clip is tricky, requiring a Pen to be inserted through the middle to unhinge it. this option is great if you want to wear it on your belt (for work) or take of the clip and have a slim pouch for your jeans (for going out).
headphones, and volume controls are accessible. the only problem with this sleek design is the chunky "marware" label on the back, which im considering snipping off! …More48 of 62 people found this useful

Clip broke off after 1.5 months
Written by GR from Madison
Sep 26, 2009
I purchased this case so that I could carry my iphone on my belt but still have a hard protective case around it. The sides of the sleeve are elastic and so it expands easily to accommodate one of the many hard cases (I use the incase version which is great). I was very happy with it in the beginning - it allowed me to access the silent function without pulling it out of the case as well as the headphone jack. But last week the clip broke off the back while I was wearing it on my belt. Luckily - it accommodates the hard case, so not a scratch or crack on my iphone (thanks mostly to incase), but now the Marware sleeve is clearly unusable.
It turns out the clip is just glued on best I can tell. And it seems the majority of the "protection" offered by the sleeve is just cardboard wrapped in leather. So much for quality workmanship.
We're in a recession - spend your money on a better made product. …More1 of 1 people found this useful

Marware C.E.O. Sleeve for iPhone 3G
not as secure as I'd like
Written by BC from Windsor
Jul 26, 2009
I wanted protection for my iPod Touch that I could clip on my belt but since there is a fully open end, if inverted, the expensive darling slips out.
Until I can replace it, I'm wearing an elastic band around the sleeve lengthwise to keep it in. …More3 of 9 people found this useful

Best Case I Have Ever Owned!
Written by ES from Pottstown
Jun 29, 2009
Anyone who does not want to cover up their iPhone but wants it to be protected and scratch free should definitely purchase this case. It is very nice and expensive looking and feels sturdy. The clip is strong and is removable if you like to keep your phone in your pocket. I have tried many cases over the past two years and this one stands out as the best. I do not like putting bulky cases and skins on my iPhone as they change how big the phone is and cover up the great look of the phone. It comes with a screen cover as well which is crystal clear and very easy to apply. The case holds my iPhone securely in place and does not allow it to accidentally fall out. I bought this for my 3GS and it has kept it very safe and scratch free! …More
