Tekkeon myCase for iPhone

July 8, 2009  

Having seen one open-faced soft silicone rubber case after another since the iPhone first launched in 2007, these days it takes something out of the ordinary to pique my curiosity in the category. Tekkeon’s myCase did just that with its three dimensional back surfaces, ranging from musical notes that rise just a bit above the surface, to palm tree leaves that do the same.



Aside from the unique designs on the back of each model, the myCase is pretty standard fare when it comes to one-piece silicone cases: you slip your iPhone into the front cut-out, pull the four corners into place, and smaller cut-outs around the sides give you access to everything. The play-through material covering the volume buttons and top button are a nice touch, but I did find that the cut-out for the vibrator switch was a bit smaller than it should be, and accessing it did take a little bit more digging with my fingernail than it should have.



In fact when I first applied the case, the cut-outs didn’t quite line up in general, and I had to stretch the rubber a bit in order to get them to line up. After that one time, things lined up just fine when putting the iPhone into the case, indicative of the fact that silicone does sometimes stretch in the wrong directions and has to be realigned.



But while the case is fairly average as a silicone case in terms of functionality, the unique designs on the rear surface are the reason you buy this case, and the reason for its above-average rating.
