Went to my local BestBuy this afternoon and they had just received some iPhone 4 cases. Decided to pick up the Griffin Reveal, Belkin Vue, and iFrogz Luxe Lean to do some comparisons. I'll decide which one I'll keep and return the other two. All three cost $24.99. Note that I have a generic screen protector on. I'm not the best at putting those on so no comments on the bubbles. I will find you...I will be unseen...I am a llama, I will bite you. 
Belkin Vue

Build, Fit, Impressions:
Belkin Vue is make out of a soft silicone material. Feels nice to hold. The sides are clear, while the back is frosted. You are still able to see the back of the phone, but it's not completely see through. The material doesn't seem to attract too much debris which is nice. There are some matte finished silicone that will pick up everything and anything that isn't attached to a surface. Case is easy to put on and take off. There is some rub against the screen protector.
Griffin Reveal

Build and Fit:
The Griffin Reveal has rubber sides and a clear plastic back. This is the only case that will fully show the back of the phone, if that's your thing. My first impression had some concern where the rubber connects to the plastic back. I don't know if that would wear out or separate over time. Any 3g/3gs Reveal comments on durability? With this case on, it's slimmer than the Belkin Vue. They both provide the same amount of protection as they both cover the back and the sides completely.
iFrogz Luxe Lean

Build and Fit:
Upon first putting the iFrogz Luxe Lean on, it reminded me of the Incipio Feather. The Feather was my favorite 3gs case. It provided just enough protection for me, while still feeling like the original 3gs iPhone. The Luxe Lean is a very similar concept. It's the thinnest of the 3 cases here, and provides the least protection. The top, bottom, and side buttons are exposed whereas the Vue and Reveal cover those. The material of the Luxe Lean is a kind of matte plastic. It's not as "sticky" as the Feather, but still gives a good grip. Also note that there is a nice felt material for the back of the iPhone 4. This is a nice touch so that the phone doesn't rub against the plastic.
Final Thoughts
Which case you choose depends upon the type of protection you want. The Vue and the Reveal will give you the best protection as they cover the sides and back. The Reveal to me is the flashier of the three, but it's really just showing off how beautiful the iPhone 4 looks.
In the end, I am choosing the iFrogz Luxe Lean because it's similar the my previous 3gs Feather case. Just enough protection while still feeling like the iPhone 4. Again, this is my top criteria, so take that into account. I'm not here to determine which one is the best, because that depends on your criteria.
Hope this helps some people when looking for cases. Congrats on those that have received their iPhone 4 this week! To those who haven't, your wait will be short. No worries, it will be worth it!
