The problem with owning an iPhone is The Fear. Specifically, The Fear That It Might Get Scratched When You’re Out And About. And while that skimpy felt case that comes in the box might keep it free from pocket-dust, it’s hardly going to protect your precious handset from other dangers (i.e. keys). Hence the market for iPhone cases. iSkin is hoping its new iSkin Fuze can ride to the rescue for paranoid iPhone owners. It’s got a shock-absorbing inne layer, and a tough polycarbonate exterior to keep your handset safe and snug, while giving you free access to the screen, sensor, ports and headphone socket. In fact, iSkin says the Fuze is the only iPhone case that properly protects its docking port. The Fuze is black with a silver trim (this is described as ‘Titan’, obviously), and will cost you £20. It’s available now from iSkin’s own website, although judging by the ‘Available Now. Coming soon for iPhone 3G’ text on the homepage, you might want to hold off for a few weeks if you’re planning an upgrade.
