A few weeks ago I got my brand new iPhone 4 and so I ventured off in search of a good, quality case for my expensive device. At first I started off with the well-known Otterbox Defender Case until recently I discovered the EGO Slide case for my iPhone. Read on below for the full in-depth review.
PROS
Straight from the start, you can tell the EGO Slide case is absolutely stunning with all the different colors you can mix and match — 121 different combinations to be exact. I mean, that’s a lot of different combinations to choose from. Colors aside, each EGO Slide case is made with Lexan EXL — that super durable and tough resin Ice Hockey helmets are coated with — so not only is it highly customizable, it’ll also protect your iPhone from minor drops. It doesn’t stop there though. The inner material has a porum cushion film to protect the product even more. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, watch this video here for a demonstration (note: must have QuickTime player installed). Continuing on, this case fits very comfortably in my hand and is only a mere 1.34mm thick (or thin I should say) plus you have full access to all the ports and buttons as well.
- Durable and will protect your device from minor drops (note: I don’t suggest that you actually go drop it on concrete leave it do the pros to do the drop tests)
- Very customizable (121 different color combinations)
- Only 1.34mm thin
- Full access to all ports and buttons
- Fits comfortably in my hand
Oh, and here’s all 121 different combinations to choose from:

CONS
Alright, so we’ve covered the pros of the case, but what about the cons then? Well despite that fact that the case is nice looking, stylish, protective, and has some freaking sweet color combinations — it’ll set you back $35 ($17.50 per each half). Price aside though, the case can trap dust along the outer rim of the iPhone leaving the only option for you to take the case off and clean up the dust.
CONCLUSION
If you’re looking for a nice looking, stylish slide-on case that offers some protection against minor drops the EGO Slide case is best for you. Even though it’ll set you back $35 and traps dust along the outer rim of your iPhone, it’s still a great and highly customizable case.
Buy. It.
Final score: 4.5/5 Stars
