Features & Colors
The Griffin Wave for iPhone is available in black, blue, red, green, and white colors. The case uses a wave design with overlapping closures on the side for protection all around. The screen can be left uncovered so use and feel are not changed and you can still access all ports and controls with the iPhone in the case.

In Use
When I first got my iPhone last year, I had a Belkin case that was horrible. The Belkin case fit my iPhone too loosely and allowed it to slip around inside the case, leading to scratches on the phone. The Griffin Wave for iPhone fits very snugly onto the iPhone so there is no space between the phone and the case where dirt, debris, or motion could lead to scratches.

The Griffin Wave for iPhone does include a ridged plastic screen protector -- a thin sheet of plastic that can be placed over the screen of the iPhone to prevent scratches. The screen protector still allows the screen to work as you expect, though it does change the feel of the screen a bit.

The Griffin Wave for iPhone is easy to install with wave shaped overlapping tabs on the side the very snugly hold the case in place. You can drop the phone while it's in the case and the case won’t come off. However, when you want to take the case off the iPhone it can be removed easily.

My test sample of the Griffin Wave for iPhone was in blue and it is a very attractive case. The back of the case is translucent so you can see the Apple logo and the camera is not covered so it works just as it would without the case on the phone.

The edges of the case are beveled so that they are comfortable against your ear and face when the phone is in use. When the Griffin Wave for iPhone is installed, it does add a bit of bulk to the phone, but not much. Obviously, you can no longer place the phone into the docking cradle when the case is on, but the sync/charge cable itself fits with the case installed without any issues.
