I also recommend dealextreme for people who don't mind imitations, the cases are actually pretty good quality, its cheap, and free shipping, but expect slow shipping....order ahead of time, you will usually receive what you ordered within 2-3 weeks, if the item all of a sudden gets back ordered, you can wait for months
I bought a cheap silicon case ($9.99... cheap compared to many of the $30 cases that exist) for my 3GS two years ago... still have it and its been the best case I've used for any iPod or iPhone. It's not a stretch for me to believe even cheaper cases can do a good job.
I remember the first case for an Apple product I bought was a leather flipcase for my 5G video iPod... the damn thing was so tight-fitting it scratched my iPod nicely just putting it in.
I fell for that too, look at the item numbers. The first 6 digits are the same, then there is a different number at the end. They're all mainly single item, 2 pack, and a 20 pack. You can order in bulk and save. Once you go to the cart it shows a little better. Only thing that sucks is you can't select any other shipping option. Its great that its only $4 for two skin cases, however I wont be getting them for 2-3 weeks. I'm getting my iPhone on Thursday...problem.
I'm hoping to get a bumper on launch day. Hopefully that'll be adequate until my Wrapsol Ultra arrives (hopefully the 25th, as I live in MA). I don't know if I'd want to get one of these $2 cases. Sure they're cheap, but I don't know if they'll arrive before the 24th since they ship from Asia.
They're good cases, I bought many meritline stuff over the past year.
The only thing I wouldn't buy from them are power adapters because those do tend to stop working.
But as far as cases and screen protectors go, they're perfect.
At the end of the day, a case is just a bunch of molded rubber or plastic. It's pretty hard to screw up. The factories that make them usually get their hands on a geniune iPhone or iPhone parts before hand just to make sure they fit.
