Marware C.E.O. Sleeve for iPhone 3G
Clip broke off after 1.5 months
Written by GR from Madison

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.2 of 2 people found this useful

Beware of this product

This started out to be just the answer I was looking for: iPhone protection that looks good. The problem is the belt clip mechanism. It only lasted about 30 days before the entire apparatus broke away from the case, leaving a nice slipcase but no way to attach it to my belt. I would recommend against any Marware products: they don't last under even ordinary use.

Marware C.E.O. Sleeve for iPhone 3G
I'm giving up

I am now on my third sleeve and it is coming apart at the glued side seem, so I am giving up. I very much liked its slim design with a clip, so when the clip on the first two separated from the body I was still undeterred! But this is ridiculous!! Marware has been known to provide a much higher quality product, however, now I am beginning to wonder.

Was not satisfied

Bought the product for about two to three weeks and the clip holder popped off one day when I was getting in a car.
Now I basically just have a case with no clip.11 of 11 people found this useful

Regret
Written by MA from Springboro

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.145 of 157 people found this useful
