I went on to the Incipio website this AM and see that they are coming out with a new case for the Iphone 3G/3GS called the Honu. Looks pretty unique and kinda a cool idea. They don't have many pictures up yet though so I am not really sure how the case goes together and all, but I like it. It kinda reminds me of the Switcheasy Rebel.

Check it out guys/gals.

Oooh. This. That would be awesome. The tight fit of the feather with the window of a reveal. Could be great!

Yep, with a matte "spine" for grip and less clear surface to scratch (both of which made me return the Reveal). I would like to see the front - if it raises above the lip, then it could be a "go" for me.

I"m figuring out that owning an iPhone is like owning a Jeep Wrangler!:eek:

you just end up buying everything for it!! I bought 2 cases already (otterbox defender and CaseCrown Crystal) and my GS is still in a fedex truck on the way to my door!! :D

another cool case...

Oh GOD, soooo true! I can't believe how much of a hobby this is! I bought my 3GS on 6/27 and I am already on my 3rd case - and I am still looking at 3 others!

My Reveal looks horrible now. I took really good care of it making sure not to lay it down on the window side and always keeping it clean. Nothing doing. After 2 weeks, it looks all scratched up and ugly. I dont see how this Honu case will be any different.

From the website, it looks like it will come with a white and clear silicone shell insert. So I am assuming that if it is silicone, it will not scratch, which is good. I don't know if the outer part is silicone too though. I would kind of hope not, because then you have to worry about the whole lint catcher thing. But we shall see.

i went ahead and purchased (white/grey) this case and here are my impressions so far

pros:
the silicon outer skin is much like switcheasy colors - smooth like silky texture doesn't feel cheap
case looks great on the phone
they give you 2 inner shells - white and a frost to use
volume and top buttons actually feel like your pressing a button

cons:
not exactly pocket friendly - tends to be a little hard to get out quickly
only one screen protector and no port covers
silent mode switch is really hard to get to when in silent mode
