Typically, how many cases do you go through in 2 years for an iPhone? I seem to buy whatever works as soon as I get the phone, to prevent scratches and to protect from falls, and then, newer and better-looking cases start coming out, and I buy a different one. My max is 3 for my iPad 2 - tried the Apple iPad 1 case which fit like a very loose glove, then a hardshell protection deal, and finally went with a thin translucent back snap-on shell and the smart cover. If only I'd known what I really wanted - could've saved $60. :-(
