Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Incase Snap Case - Clear a "completely clear case" as well? I chose it under that assumption at any rate. There were two listed options for the Incase, clear and smoke.

I think Macworld's got it wrong on this one. I'm looking forward to the review of the Incase cases as well. I guess they're not out yet.

Good catch. Incase states availability as next month, so what I *meant* was that it's the only one of the cases available now. Fixed.

The article says it comes in 3 colors, but I only see the clear choice in the iphone app. Are they other two gone already, or is the article misleading?

This case sucks. The fit is so tight that the back of the case bows in the middle and out on the sides when the iPhone 4 is in the case.

Don't waste your time with this case...absolutely no protection for the front or top and bottom edges of the phone, the odds of it protecting your phone are as good as a coin coming up heads every time you flip it...not very likely!

HORRIBLE design. Good thing it was free, because it's going straight to the trash. My Case-Mate case is leaps and bounds better.

I got this case because I liked that it added little bulk to the phone (albeit with corresponding minimal protection) and because it is clear, the iPhone aesthetics are still visible.

The case meets these criteria. However, after very little use, the case is horribly scratched which sort of defeats the purpose of a clear case. I'll keep using it until I find something better...but I'm definitely looking for something better.
