no part of you finds this alarmingly stupid? I mean I realize the inherent nature of being a collector is finding a niche which you enjoy, but iPhone case collecting just strikes me as a bit, well idiotic.

Thanks for your "kind" words. No, I don't really see it as stupid, as it's something I enjoy. The money isn't an issue to me, so it's not hurting me in any way. Cases that I don't use I usually end up giving to family, friends, or my employees, so I don't end up keeping them all. I'm sure you, and most other people on here spend money on something that someone else would call "stupid". I have an employee that spends $3500 + a year on cigarettes...that, I would consider "stupid", as it's paying to harm yourself. But what I spend this small amount of money on harms no one. And you guys do realize I'm not even close to having the most cases or most money invested in them on these forums, right?
 
Just two for me.

I use two different ones on my 3Gs. The Mophie Air pack for when I know I'm out and about and will need some juice.

I also use and love the Otterbox Impact Gel in black for when I'm in and out of the car or my office and won't need extended power.

I would agree with some of the pathetic frenzy case purchases lol I mean, if you have all the money to spend on cases why even use a case? A naked iPhone 4 is pure enjoyment.
