ivySkin iPhone 3G XyloT3 Touch-Thru Case Review/CONTEST!
We’re back with another accessory review here folks. With hundreds of accessories out there on the market for your iPhone 3G obsessed needs, we’re here to help. Today we’re going to take a look at a hard plastic case from ivySkin, the newly updated XyloT3!
What Kind of Case is This?
The Xylo Touch-Thru (T3) case by ivySkin is a German-designed hard screen shell made of top grade polycarbonate crystal material that covers the entire iPhone 3G unit. What makes this case interesting is the fact that the hard case over the screen does not affect the touch sensor in any way. In what ivySkin calls “Surface Xylo Wave (SXW)” technology (I know, what a name!), it allows ultrasonic waves to pass through the case onto the iPhone’s screen–enabling you to stay addicted to your iPhone while protecting it completely.
I had the chance to try the ivySkin XyloT3 on one of my iPhone 3G units prior to installing the invisibleSHIELD. At the time I forgot to snap pictures but the case fits the iPhone pretty snug. If you have the invisibleSHIELD installed you won’t be able to install this case over top. I was quite impressed that the touch capabilities on my iPhone 3G were not impeded even though there was this hard case over the screen. Pretty neat stuff if you’re in the market for a hard case that will allow you to still use your iPhone 3G!
Check out the following pictures to see the quality of the ivySkin case to make your own decision:
The benefits of this ivySkin XyloT3 Touch Thru case is that it’s a complete hard case that will protect your iPhone without hiding its design unlike silicone cases. Also, the touchscreen is not affected in any way which is a huge bonus, considering plastic is covering the entire iPhone 3G screen. The XyloT3 is available in clear, black, or white. At $34.99 I must admit this case is definitely priced higher than normal, but if you’re in the market for a decent hard shell case that doesn’t affect your touchscreen, this could very well be the case for you!

Umm…sure it’ll fit! It will just take some…moving around…muhahahha
Once, upon a thyme leaf,
There lived a lazy snail named Ivyskin,
Who munched and dozed, and dozed and munched,
On thyme ivyskin breakfasted and lunched,
And when it came to half past nine,
Ivyskin chose once more to dine on thyme.
Later, upon the thyme leaf,
Was a rather plumper snail.
But, reader dear, his life was brief,
For this is no fairy tale.
He ate more and more, and grew fatter and fatter
Until one day he exploded, bang, splat, splatter.
One minute he was there,
The next he’d gone.
The coroner’s verdict
‘A snail thyme bomb’.
When ivySkin and the Iphone are mated
it gives the protection without feeling naked.
(lol…bad huh?)
Omg it looks great… and i’d love to have one of these 😛
You need to write a POEM!
In this comment box I type,
cause the case by ivySkin looks so ripe,
if it were a cherry I would pick it,
but from behind this screen I can only click it 🙁
R u ever gonna review some chargers and fm tuner combos. Maybe which ones are compatible with 3G ect……..
I don’t know if it helps, but I have the griffin car charger. Got it for $25. Works perfectly! Only downside is the cord is really short.
I realize it’s not a combo. Do you have an AUX jack? You can buy a cable for $4 on eBay. Sound quality is so much better.
Oh boy, I really like the look of this case. It looks like it will give my current case a run for it’s money. So that said, now I’ve gotta become a poet! 🙂
My poem is called “Skin Deep”
This may not be news to those of you
Who own an iPhone 3G,
But I can’t express the feelings I get
When mine is close to me.
It breaks my heart if ever I see
A scratch upon it’s case,
I need protection that will allow me to
Put it through it’s pace.
My current case is not too bad
But it doesn’t let me see.
It hides the shape, the shine and the curves
Of my beautiful, lovely 3G.
So tonight I will dream with my phone by my side
Of putting on the ivySkin
This beautiful case that allows me to see,
My 3G and the beauty within!
I’ve gotta stop now and go be with my 3G. My poem has brought me even closer to a deeper love for my 3G!!! 😀
Okay, I think I got requirement #3 right? I blogged about this contest on my own blog with a link back to this page. Here is what I said…

When did you order it?
I’m just curious about the blog thing. I haven’t got a blog, does that mean I can’t enter? I wrote a poem just in case. Thanks for all the reviews! They are great!
From time to time
she likes to play
with my one true and treasured gift.
And all is well
most of the time
except if there’s a slip.
Silicon, rubber
and cloth won’t do
nor will an impostor.
For there’s no protection
like ivyskin, it’s really like no other.
So before an “accident” occurs
and my way of life is damaged,
send the ONLY worthy case
of being wrapped around its body.
From then on out,
I’ll have no fear,
and play away she will.
For my girlfriend treats my ***** well
but not its 3G “brother”!
Cheers

my thoughts on iphone 3g
http://snsays.com/372/iphone-3g/
Wow! You’ve got a lot to learn about what you can and can’t do with the iPhone 3G! Maybe a lot of this stuff doesn’t come on the phone initially, but the beauty of it is that there are many, many 3rd party apps that handle a lot of your items and the beauty of it is there are CHOICES! We’re not stuck with whatever Apple would have decided to put on the phone. Example… camera enhancement apps, FM radio apps, document editor apps, etc… Spend a few hours one day on App Store. You’ll be amazed at what you find. 😀
A naked iPhone
is such a sin
so try to win
an ivySkin
I sit here
with greasy fingers
a ray of hope
suddenly lingers
No more slime
would be fine
keep my iPhone
a glistening shine
So please protect
my iPhone G3
with an ivySkin
from XyloT3
Please please let me win
I needs me an Ivyskin
My 5mo old baby girl cant’ keep her hands off my phone, so I am submitting my poem
Please, please let me win
I needs me and Ivyskin
i’ve been searching around to see what stores carry it in stock… nothing on their site and nothing has come up on searches.
anyone know where i can get one in kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge?
I have been using the ivyskin Xylo case for my new iPhone 3G for the past three weeks. This thing is amazing. It’s the best looking case for 3G. I got the white one they call it XyloT3 “Alpine” it has a white body with chrome mirror finish screen. It’s very very cool.
does anyone else with these cases (Case Mate’s Naked Case too) bubbling after a while? The screen starts out perfect, just fine, adn after a few weeks use there is constant contact between the screen and the case in one small area. It almost looks “wet”. If it wasn’t in the bottom/middle of the screen i wouldn’t mind as much, but its ALWAYS VISIBLE!
Is their any fix for this, and will the Xylo case ever have this problem as well?
a POEM!
Just curious as to when the winner’s might be announced?
Thanks!
this is a super reading and glorious article. I will reread this article.
