I dropped my iPod once and dinged a corner. No big deal, just a cosmetic blemish, but it bugs me. When I saw the DLO JamJacket for the iPhone, it seemed like a obvious solution for that potential hazard. And it is a good way to keep the earbud cord handy but, discreetly tucked away until I need it. After all, unlike the iPod, you use the iPhone in ways that do not require the headset: phone, web browsing, email, etc. But I also knew I did not want to carry my iPhone around in my pocket. I wanted a belt holder, like I have for my iPod, so I bought Belkin Slim-Fit Case for iPhone - holster bag Belkin Slim-Fit Case for iPhone. Both products work great by themselves, but not together. The iPhone with the JamJacket will not fit in the Slim-Fit Case. Nor will the iPhone with JamJacket fit in the iPhone dock. So, I am constantly putting the JamJacket on and removing it, and deciding whether or not I should use the JamJacket or the Slim-Fit case for any particular occasion.

Besides which, it does not protect the screen, which concerns me. I have not had time to research a good product for that -- one which hopefully will be compatible with the cases. I wanted the device to simplify my life, not complicate it.

Can't some manufacturer come up with an all-in-one solution -- something that will protect the case and the display, and hold the earbud cord, that I can attach securely to my belt? Call me a dreamer... Read more
