Ever since we dared question whether protective cases for the iPhone were all so necessary, nothing but the best looking, multi-functional and sleek cases and skins have started popping up on the Internet. Think “someone” out there is an iPhone fan? Take the iSkin solo for iPhone 3G, for example. With the looks on this thing, it doesn't even matter whether or not it protects your device from bumps and scratches.

Needless to say, the iSkin solo from the company with the same name (except for the “solo” part) is everything an iPhone 3G skin should be, and then some. “Slip your beloved iPhone 3G into the amazing new iSkin solo,” says the company. “Instantly experience the sensual touch and the look of sophisticated styling.” Featuring a unique high-gloss finish, available in four color options, “the iSkin solo provides the robust protection of a hard case, the form-fitting flexibility of a soft case, with our new slim-fitting low profile,” iSkin claims.

Instead of hiding the iPhone 3G's beauty, like the bulkier solutions known as “cases” do, the iSkin solo offers full body protection in a slim, bulk-free package that enhances the iPhone 3G’s elegant aesthetics and sleek lines. Carefully crafted for a precise fit, it also delivers protection against impact, scratches, dirt, dust, and everyday hazards, iSkin says. Additionally, the material used to create the iSkin solo is temperature resistant and odorless – so no more pesky smells to distract you from what is really important.

Best of all, the iSkin doesn't sacrifice the iPhone 3G's functionality over its safety. “You’ll enjoy the optimal convenience of completely unhindered screen, docking port, headphone and camera access, while your essential volume and power buttons remain safely and snugly protected,” iSkin notes. And here's proof for it.

iSkin also advises interested parties to check out its revoClip for solo. iPhone users are encouraged to “make it a duet” by adding this low-profile belt holster that keeps the user and their solo+iPhone 3G “well connected.”

Note that the revoClip for solo is designed especially for use with the iSkin solo. Also, the original revoClip holster is not compatible with the solo, so be careful what you order.

iSkin solo costs 30 bucks over at iSkin's online store. If you’re thinking of "mak[ing] it a duet," the revoClip for solo costs US$15.
