Porporta Advanced Screen Protector

Description: A clear, thin iPhone shaped film with a matte finish and holes for the speaker and main multi-function button.  It is designed to adhere to your iPhone screen for protection. 

Pros:
- Substantially more finger print resistant than the surface of the iPhone or crystal finish screen protectors
- Effectively protects phone from dust and scratches
- Anti-glare makes screen easier to read in bright light
- Easy to remove
- Wash and reuse
- Includes shmoo (little rectangle of flexible plastic to help you push any bubbles out) & buffing/cleaning cloth

Cons:
- Pixilates image to a certain degree

Proporta Echo Mirror Screen Protector

Description: Similar to the Advanced Screen Protector, the Echo Mirror Screen Protector also adheres to the front of the iPhone for protection.  However, as the name implies it has a glossy, mirrored finish. 

Pros:
- Mirror protects privacy by blocking viewing from any angle except head on
- Great for pretending you are looking at your phone, but actually checking to see if you have something between your teeth
- Effectively protects phone from dust and scratches
- Easy to remove
- Wash and reuse
- Includes shmoo & buffing/cleaning cloth

Cons:
- Difficult to see if unless you look at the phone head on
- Viewing can also be blocked if you are in direct sunlight or in a room with bright overhead lights

Proporta Dual Skin Silicone Case

Description: Two layers of silicone skin slip over the back, sides and lower front of the iPhone like neoprene over a surfer.  Holes in the sides of outer layer allow you to see a contrasting color layer underneath - a slick design feature that not only looks good, but also provides for a better grip to the sides of the phone.  A hole in the bottom of the case allows for insertion of the charging and syncing cable, however, as thin as it is, it must still be removed for insertion into a dock. 

Pros:
- Silicone grip makes phone much easier to hold onto
- Cool looking
- Protects against scratches and back impacts
- Cover molds over buttons while maintaining functionality
- Very thin - adds only minimal bulk to the phone

Cons:
- Collects dust like a magnet
- Won’t do much to protect screen against a face down drop on its own

Proporta Alu-Leather Edge:

Description: The Alu-Leather Edge features a leather front and back with an aluminum core and neoprene lined side clasps to cradle and protect your iPhone.  The side clasps come halfway up the device allowing access to the volume controls and the front and back are attached together with a slender piece of leather over the top of the phone, which also leaves the headphone port and on/off switch available for use.  A hole in the bottom of the case allows for insertion of the charging and syncing cable, however, as with most cases, it must be removed for insertion into a dock. 

Pros:
- Beautiful leather styling with attractive contrast stitching and cool Proporta logo
- Great variety of color options
- Comes with removable wrist lanyard
- Protects entire phone including screen in the case of a fall
- Aluminum inside case makes it incredibly sturdy

Cons:
- Clumsy to flip cover up quickly when trying to answer a call
- Adds substantial bulk to an otherwise sexy, slim phone
