The title of this post is actually gentler than my initial title idea: “Objects are shittier than they appear.” And let me tell you, the More-Thing Ultra Slim Silicone Case is a piece of shit. It’s as flimsy and formless as a pair of stretched-out, decades-old Fruit of the Loom briefs (which are actually more useful than this crappy silicone case).
Don’t let the More-Thing website fool you: Those gorgeous, Penthouse-quality Vaseline-dabbed-lens beauty shots of the Ultra Slim Silicone cases in all their throbbing-colors glory with names like Tomato and Liquid Blue are bullshit. Ditto for the colorless choices like the black one I ordered for $11.90 plus nearly as much for expedited shipping from Hong Kong.
The fit is loose and anything but tight, and the finish – if you could call it that – is shameful. As the picture shows the cutout for the iPhone 3G headphone jack is just that – a crudely cut opening – and nothing like the cleanly round hole shown in the website pictures. Only after receiving this crappy case and slipping it onto my iPhone like a used condom found on the beach and then immediately removing it did it occur to me to check for other opinions and reviews. Low and behold, the company’s own product page for the crappy case revealed many other unhappy buyers.
Thanks for nothing, More-Thing.
Thank for your professional idea. I have ultra slim case for my old Nokia cell phone. The case is dust absorber. But i like the case so slim. So i keep to use it.
Last 3 months ago, I have changed to use iPhone 3G. I also order ultra slim case from more-thing.com. It is not bad. I know the silicone case will release the bad smell. But they provide the case nothing bad smell. They also improve the dust absorb problem. I think they cover the coating for prevent the dust stay on the surface.
It is true the “ULTRA SLIM” Case so thin. The protection is less. It just provide the slim and see through sex feeling. I like the slim feeling so i select the ultra slim case. Thanks
Ultra slim case i love it so much. Why did u say like that. White is favourite~~
Seems as thought the above two comments have been written by More-Thing.com representatives/staff. Doesn’t make much sense.

Thanks for the review. You are right…there must be some quality difference between an $11 “more thing” case and my $30 Incase case. But dang…the photos do look good, and they almost suckered me.
The funniest part about this post are the broken Engrish comments from “more thing” employees defending the company. Classic.
Even the name of the company is a hoot, “more thing”…sounds like a Chinese male enhancement pill.

LOL!
The funniest part of the review is the fact that if you notice the advertisement at the top of the page…low and behold! It’s an ad for the More-Thing Silicone Ultra Slim Case! LOL!
