So it seems like most of the people are case junkies like me. How many cases do you own? So I got 1) apple bumper 2) griffin motif 3) incase clear from apple program 4) otterbox defender 5) white eBay bumper 6) clear case from mall 7) beyza slimline pouch 8) sgp hybrid ex 9) default case
 
Must be a bad habit.

I've got all different types, some from DealExtreme, some from eBay, the free ones from Apple, the ones I get at 50% off at AT&T, etc. I just switch around to whatever feels comfortable, but I never go naked in fear of microscratching up the glass.
 
I have 2 cases for my iPhone. I got the Apple bumper from the free case program and I have the iFrogz Luxe case that I actually purchased.
 
Here's my list

-Incase Slider (Gun Metal)
-Incase Snap (Smoke & Clear)
-Speck PixelSkin HD
-Speck CandyShell
-Speck Fitted (2 of Them)
-Speck GeoMetric
-Case-Mate Tough Case
-Griffin Reveal Etch
-Body Glove Vibe Slider
-All DefaultCase Colors
-Casecrown Glider and Meta
-Incipio SiliCrylic
-Incipio NGP
-Incipio Dermashot
-OtterBox Defender
-iLuv Spectrum
-RocketFish Gel Case
-Bumper
-A Couple Generic TPU Cases
 
Looks like we all have a pretty bad habit. People may ask why we have 36 cases for 1 phone. And the short answer is because we can. :)
 
I have the sickness as well.....

My cases....
1.) Apple bumper
2.) Incase Slider
3.) All the default cases (all colors)
4.) 3 ebay bumper cases
5.) Speck fitted case

....And I think I am about to order the switcheasy capsule rebel or the Capsule trim!
 
How about we also post which one is our favorite.

1) Incipio NGP
2) Incase Snap Smoke (coming in the mail)

Favorite = NGP :)
 
I have quite a bit. The ones I wind up using more than anything are the GeoMetric from Speck and the Otterbox Defender.
 
- eBay Replicase
- IvySkin Reception
- InCase Snap (Smoke)
- InCase Slider (returned)
- Neo Hybrid EX (x2)
- Fortte STiL Vertical Pouch

Only one I use is the Fortte since I haven't found an actual case that I prefer to use on a regular basis.
 
Apple Bumper
Otterbox Defender (all colors)
Otterbox Commuter
Gelaskin Full Body (not really a case)
 
1. Bumper(free from Apple)
2. Griffin Reveal
3. Incipio NGP
4. Speck Pixelskin HD
5. Otterbox Defender(current case)
 
I used to be a case junkie, and in some ways, I still am. I still read a ton about cases. My first two iphones (original and 3G), I probably bought over 20 cases. So far, with my iPhone 4, I've bought 2, and also received my free bumper from Apple. For my 3G, my most common combo was the Otterbox Defender, with the screen ripped out, and an Invisible Shield on the screen.

Now with my iPhone 4, I have a Clear-Coat shield (similar to Invisible Shield) on front, back, and sides, and was using the bumper. BUT, I just bought the Case-Mate Hulu (in black), and I LOVE this combo ! It's like an Apple Bumper, but the sides are clear, so it really shows off the phone like it has no case on. It really looks sleek, and I really like it better than the bumper, fits the phone better.

I have 4 cases. However, 2 of them I am not happy with. My list:

- Apple bumper (black).
- iSkin Solo (carbon).
- Speck PixelSkin HD (black, 3rd version).
- Incipio NGP Matte (translucent mercury).

I do not like the Apple Bumber since it does not seem to provide enough protection. I also do not like the iSkin Solo...cheaply made, button alignment issues, and a sticky fingerprint magnet back. The 2 cases I use the most are the PixelSkin HD and NGP. Both are great cases...but the NGP does seem to provide the most protection and is less likely to bubble screen protectors.
 
I also do not like the iSkin Solo...cheaply made, button alignment issues, and a sticky fingerprint magnet back.

Offtopic but you should ask iSkin for a replacement. They've fixed most misalignment and button issues in new Solos batch (revA01). A few days ago they sent me a new Carbon Solo without asking to return the old one. Still not perfect but times better than the original (revA00).

Ontopic I've got a genuine black bumper, an OEM one, first and second version of PixelSkin HD, an iSkin Solo and an Incipio NGP. Bumper is still my favorite but I'm using the iSkin Solo because it offers much better protection. :)
 
Watch Jobs & Co. ever-so-slightly change the form-factor for the iPhone 5 next year.

Aaaauughh! What am I gonna do with these 30 cases?!

Suffice it to say, my wife has you all beat. If I had to guess, her total is around 30.

Personally, I've had only 3 or 4, and I've owned every iphone.
 
Not as many as some people on here (bloody hell, you may as well smash your phone and buy a new one spending that much!), but still have a fair few. Only has 1 for my 3GS and 2 for my original.

-Apple Bumper Black
-Knomo Leather Pouch
-iPod Sock
-Speck PixelSkin HD (Faulty)
