New Crystal Clear kickBACK Case from Scosche

Scosche has announced the kickBACK — its new multi-functional crystal clear case with kickstand feature specifically created for the iPhone 3G. The kickBACK’s clear polycarbonate design, along with an anti-glare screen protector, shields the iPhone 3G from scratches and other surface marks without sacrificing its sleek design and aesthetic appeal. Users are also able to customize the look of the case by interchanging the included black, clear and pink inserts. The cleats also serve as a buffer zone between the case and the iPhone to reduce chafing cause by dirt and debris.

Perhaps what’s most unique about the kickBACK’s design are its two back panels: one with a smooth surface and the other with a kickstand option, allowing users to display the iPhone in a widescreen position for greater viewing ability and control. Switching the back panel is easy with the included Scosche removal key. The Scosche kickBACK is available now online and in stores at an MSRP of $29.99.
