Regular iPod socks fit the iPhone just fine. You can get five of them for £10 if you hunt around a bit, or £14.99 from an O2 or Apple store. I bought one pack, and shared with my wife
I am really thinking of getting one of the new SwitchEasy cases with the Vision clip

I like the design and slimness of it.

They also have a nice looking one for the Touch too.

I just switched to the Belkin Acrylic Case...
priced at $24.99, and was attracted to the acrylic clear plastic case with a belt clip that doubles as a stand that rotates into a different video-viewing position, this allows for hands-free viewing, instead of holding my iPhone as I view videos. I replaced my marWare silicon/rubber case, 'cause it was scratching the chrome bezel. I gave up the screen protector, but I'm probably going to purchase a new one. Totally satisfied with my purchase, and wanted to keep my NEW iphone (week 47) unscratched. My previous iPhone (week 32) developed scratches, despite my efforts to clean the case and the phone 2x a day. Plus the case keeps the iPhone looking like an iPhone!

well, i swapped my belkin (like the one above) for a iskin revo today.. wow I must say the iskin revo is the coolest case I have ever had on a phone or mp3 player
I completely agree here, whats the point in all the apple engineers spending hours trying to make the thing as thing and sexy as possible and then you just go out and buy a thick case??!!
You wouldnt buy a Ferrari and then when you drive it, put a case around it to PROTECT it, you want to show the thing off.
Seriously, run it nakd, thats the way forward.
I agree.
I have the BSE on it, and even the corners are starting to I guess collect pocket lint from the months of going in and out of my jeans... but it's still the sexiest alternative to a full case protection... at least this way the scratches don't form.
Cases are to protect the phone. They aren't for looks. Sure, Mr. Ive created a gorgeous looking product.
But all it takes is one drop, and that aluminum rear of the phone is scratched to hell.

youd be surprised.. once you have tons of money wrapped un in a car its the same thing. You wonder every time you drive it if your gonna hit a deer or some ass is gonna hit you and you will lose your entire investment
I was a big believer in 'naked' -- I used a sleeve since iDay and I've had to exchange it twice for a shattered screen.
If it drops on concrete, game over.
Buy a case.

you guys that say you are against cases are just waiting until disaster strikes. I personally NEVER drop my phones. My last phone was 2 years old and didnt have one knick on the corners. No matter how careful you are with a phone, having a little extra protection in case of some random accident is a small price to pay.
Sad thing is, you guys with no cases will one day drop the phone and really scar it up. Then you will go buy a case to protect it from getting more damage. Protecting it AFTER you screw it up kinda defeats the purpose.

Personaly, I have nothing against those that wish to run naked...that is a personal choice and decision. However, I purchased the iPhone to use as an iPhone, not a fashion statement in the terrific design and look. Therefore, to use my iPhone as a phone, iPod, picture album and all the other great stuff and protect my purchase so that it would last longer without "accident" it is encased in a zCover. I have also used the iSkin Revo and have the holster but keep going back to the zCover.
The zCover "is" more bulky then most but still slides into my pocket (i don't paint my pants on) face in with the clip hooked to the edge of the pocket. The tendancy to gather lint in the beginning has now wore off after 4 months of use but still retains its ability to not slide off the dash like the Revo did. I also like the comfortable feel of the grips and reinforced corners. The port protection is awesome in that it is attached, unlike the Revo's which I have lost already. It does not have a headphone port cover though, which I like on the Revo. The case has also not scratched my phone, nor has the case stretched out at all. Again, IMHO, this case is the perfect case for me and I keep returning to it after trying others (6 so far). Many won't like it do to the increase in bulk but I like the comfortable feel of the grips and know that the phone will practically bounce like a rubber ball if dropped. By the way...the belt clip has been very reliable and sturdy and has still not broke after 4 months of use (knock on wood). The clip also seconds as a stand for watchin your vids!
So for all of those fashionable naked sexy phones...may you always be sexy and in perfect sexy working condition!
For those that like a little security for a "phone" this maybe an option for you: http://www.zcover.com/
Good Luck

Well I'm not a big fan of cases, but since AT&T nor Apple offers any type of insurance if you break your phone, then a case is necessary for some people.
I have the rubber incase case it fits well and grips my pockets, before I got the case I would find my phone in the cracks of the booths at restaurants all the time and I got worried I would simply lose the phone one day and not realize it feel out of my pocket.
This case rocks...
I picked up this Cozip case from Amazon... I'm extremely impressed. I looked all over for something sleek and form fitting and this case does the trick. The outside is soft and rubbery coating over hard plastic that wraps the extremely well. I don't think there's any chance of dust getting in there and scratching it, which is what I was worried about from the getgo.
I got a silver version, it blends so well you can't even tell it's on!

Nice! Thats gotta be the best looking case I've seen yet. For 29.99, does it come with the 3 pack of screen protectors? I can't tell...
Might have to think about picking a SwitchEasy up.
Anyone here have this case? I'd really like to hear your thoughts about it!
that is an awesome case!
it says it comes with
univeral dock adapter
two face guards
Tactile touch pads
head phone adapter
dock connector protector
hey check out their clip "vision clip" for the capsule case! its pretty sweet too
i just recieved my switcheasy case 2day. I dont like it at all, it feels like cheap plastic that will break with one drop. it only came with 1 screen protector thats also crap. it came also with the dock thingy that comes with ipods.
I had a rubber Incase and I returned it because of the stretching problems that I had read about. I ended up getting the black plastic Agent 18 eco case and I love it, it is so thin yet leaves the phone feeling very well protected. I highly recommend it.
