 |
|
| Does anyone know of an Iphone 3G case that can remain fitted and still allow the phone to fit the TomTom car kit, I currently have the Flip case but it is to tight to fit the kit. |

The power support air jacket might work but it's not everyones cup of tea. But as I don't own a TT kit I wouldn't know for sure! I have one of these cases and they are very thin!

Thanks, I have had a look at it and it might be OK but as I have bought a few cases now since getting my phone I want to make sure it is going to work before spending any more. |

If it helps, the air jacket adds nothing the length of the phone and about 3mm to the total width of the phone and accross the whole of the back is about 1mm thin. It depends entirely on how much space there is between the phone and the TT kit as to wether it'll fit or not!

Having looked at the video/ pictures of the power support air jacket I am not too sure it will clip in to the car kit as anything added to the thickness of the phone near the top of the device will prevent the retaining clip from latching in to place. The power socket should be OK though as thats clear of any obstructions.
My iPhone is fitted with a Zagg Shield and that fits the car kit but its more like an all over screen protector rather than a true case - Mike |

I use a INCIPIO FEATHER not much protection but better than nothing and it has that felty feeling to it, gives a better grip and fits ok in the TT car kit holder

Thanks for all the replys I am going to order the Feather as I know that it will work with the car kit also the Zagg Shield looks a pig to fit!
Thanks Again, Nick |

Update, I got the Incipio Feather in black and I like it, it looks smart and the screen protector is very good quality and yes it fits my TomTom car kit
Regards
