Update: The Izozzi giveaway is now closed, and the winners are Jewelzz (iPhone 4), evic (iPhone 4), lloydrv (iPhone 4), and Rita El Khoury (iPod touch 4G). We appreciate all who participated, and we congratulate our winners. :-)

I was absolutely captivated by the Izozzi iPhone cases Larry reviewed last month; the freaky surreal art of Bill Carmen, especially his “Saint of Early Vices” iPhone 4 case, was an immediate “want”.

After his review, Larry sent me that case and it has been a favorite ever since — rotating in and out with others that I’ve been testing. My Izozzi “Saint of Early Vices” case seems to always get compliments and comments, but even more importantly — it protected my iPhone 4 from a 5′ corner drop onto hard tile.

Not a scratch or ding was left on my iPhone after that fall, a fact that still makes me shudder when I think about what might have happened.

Now you have a chance to get one of these unique and protective Izozzi cases, either for your iPhone or iPod touch. Izozzi has offered us three iPhone cases and one iPod touch case to give away.

Izozzi has agreed to open this contest to the entire world; and they will ship each winner their case choice.

If you’d like to be considered for this giveaway, please leave a comment on this post listing the following:

1. One thing you wish you could do or that you wish was better designed on your iPhone
2. The Izozzi case design you would choose if you won
3. Whether you would like an iPhone case or an iPod touch case (Be sure to specify iPhone 3G/3GS or iPhone 4, iPod touch 2G/3G or iPod touch 4G)

The contest will run for 48 hours; I will close it at midnight CT on Tuesday, October 26, and I will contact the four random winners soon after.

Good luck! :-)

I like exploring new tech; I don't like trying to decipher jargon, nor do I like being talked down to. I figure that you probably feel the same, and that's why you're here. Welcome! =)

    I think the one thing that I wish I could to on my iPhone is Swype, its a great product!!
    I would like a case for an iPhone 3GS, and would choose the Bill Carman “Fine Dining” case.

    Oh cool cases!!!
    1. I wish there was a built-in GPS in the iPod Touch 4th gen that I own. I know that GPS is much faster with A-GPS which requires a connection to the networks cells, but a GPS chip by itself, even if much slower would make using the iPod for navigation a much better option than trying to stay connected to a WiFi signal like it does now.
    2. Without a doubt Epiphany by Eric Drooker (http://www.izozzi.com/collections/eric-drooker-ipod-touch-4th-gen-formfit-case/products/eric-drooker-epiphany-ipod-touch-4th-gen-formfit-case)
    3. I’d love an iPod Touch 4G case :D
    Have a nice day!

  • tabi13

    1. I wish my ipod 4th gens chrome back wouldnt scratch as easily as it did! Also wish there was some easy way of creating multiple albums in Photos application WITHIN iOS!
    2. I found all the artwork cases quite fascinating but might still end up going for the ‘Nude’ case if I had a choice
    3. I would like the case for iPod Touch 4th Gen please

  • xaucian

    1. I wish i could use SD cards between iphone & laptop

    1) Besides improving the antenna design ;) I wish what was designed better on my iPhone is the screen lock capabilities when on a phone call since I don’t have a blue-tooth headset I always hit mute with my face :(
    2) If I am lucky enough to be picked I would love to win the Ben Wilson “First Flight” iPhone 4 FormFit Case – http://www.izozzi.com/collections/ben-wilson-iphone-4-formfit-case/products/ben-wilson-first-flight-iphone-4-formfit-case be fortunate enough.

    1. I wish multitasking was integrated into every single app in the App Store.
    2. If I could have the Ann Haaland “Blue Tangle,” that’d be awesome!
    3. I have an iPod Touch 2G.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    1. I would like to be able to turn off my text notification pop ups completely in certain situations.  Small idea but would be useful in certain situations you do not want to be interrupted.  
    2. Cliff Dwellers by Erik Drooker.  Being 6’8″ I can appreciate this design.  Love it.
    3. I would love this for my iPhone 4.

  • arvindr

    I wish that the iPhone were unlocked. I travel to India and it would be nice if I could have the ability to just change the Sim card and use it without exorbitant charges.

    I would like the Eric Drooker Epiphany case for my iPod Touch 3G.

  • protoZ

    I with that that Apple had either enforced the glass cover the iPhone 4 have, or that they had used another material that could not be scratched so easily. This has been a problem for alot of people who have bought the iPhone 4, and its abit sad, because it is an awesome phone :D

  • http://www.osnn.net Jewelzz

    I wish you could silence everything except the phone. As a mom of 2 young adults who live out of state, a manager who receives phone calls nightly, etc … I’d love to silence all alerts, tones, etc but still have the ability for the phone to ring.. with one simple push of a button.

    The case I simply love is Ann Haaland “Ruckus” for iPhone 4

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Winston-Chang/100000157167094 Winston Chang

    I wish the iphone supports flash and at the same time provides the users with the option of turning that on and off.

    If I won, I would the like Ward Hooper “Hull’s Gulch” case for my iphone 3gs.

    Thanks.

    1) I wish my iphone can truly multi-task and copy/paste

    2) I would love to have the Bill Carman’s Tree Stand 3gs formfit case

    3) It is for my iPhone 3gs

  • Elise Mcallister

    I wish I could replace the internal components very easily, that way I don’t have to pay $60 just to replace the batter.

    If I were luck to win this contest, I would really love Bill Carman’s Redrover case for my iphone 3gs.
