Best Case/Cases for the iPhone 4?

Why? It's a nice light case and it looks to be well made. It also feels great in the hands and I think it's pretty. I'm getting a Vaja case eventually (check the site daily so I can get started on my 45 day wait!), but I really like the iFrogz case much more than I thought I would.
I currently have the Handhelditems smoke clear TPU case, and it works for now. Ultimately, I want the PowerSupport screen protector and this case-mate case.

i think i'm going the reveal tomorrow as i found my first scratch in the back of the phone today... no idea how it got there. it's been in a ipod sock in my pocket...oh well, it's gonna happen. but i'm probably going to at least consider another agent 18 case. i really like my other one. sadly they're behind the game and don't have one yet...
The only problem I see with some of these cases is that they won't fit in the car holder or dock.
I use an old iPod "universal" dock. Works great, fits great w/ almost any case with the adapter removed. I had this dock for years but I bet you can find used ones on eBay, etc. for cheap. You do get the stupid "this accessory not compatible" message. Just dismiss it.
Just a warning. I had a leather casemate case for the original iPhone. Felt great, looked great. Built quality was horrible. It completely fell apart in 9 mos. & I was not hard on it. $40 down the drain.
I picked up the exact same one today from BB. I like the color and design, but it does add a bit of bulk (relatively more I think than my 3GS version had). The sleep button is kinda hard to get to because of the thickness. But, I do feel more comfortable handling it and setting it down than when it's naked.
To each his own then. I think mine is pretty! I am a girl though.
I have the exact same case, I like it, and I'm not a girl. Although admittedly, the only reason I bought it is because it was the only thing available at the time.
I ordered mine a few days ago. It doesn't ship until June 30th but I got overnight shipping (was only $10 bucks!) so I'll post a review with plenty of pictures once it comes in.
Did you use the coupon code?
Which shipping options did you have and how much were they? <----Can't find an answer to this question anywhere.
Actually I didn't! I couldn't find it but all the shipping options were under $10 or so. I forget exactly what shipping options there were but it was mostly FedEx with overnight, 2nd day air, ground, and I think USPS was there also.
I think a slip case is best, as Apple have designed a fantastic phone that should be shown off whenever you use it (just my opinion though).
I've liked the incase slider case for my iPhone 3G for the past 2 years and I am looking forward to seeing what cases they have coming for the iPhone 4.
I want a case that I could easily use with the iPhone 4 dock, therefore the slider type case will work best for me.
I do like the iFrogz case as well since it looks as if you could remove the black bottom part (similar to the incase slider) and dock the phone. I have seen these cases and almost bought one for my 3G, but having just bought the incase slider a few days prior did not. I did like the royal blue, red and orand colored ones.

Wait.. If that's vinyl, then wouldn't the adhesive be ACTUAL glue-like adhesive that would leave residue if kept on for a long time? No thanks. I'd rather the static-like fit of the screen protectors.
