I hate cases! I've purchased so many cases over the years and you know what? I ALWAYS take them off after about a week. The iPhone just isn't the same in a case anymore... it's bigger, heavier, looks retarded and it's just not the way Apple intended the phone to be used like that. Also, cases usually make it hard to use a Dock (except for the slider cases) and Apple recommends charging WITHOUT a case anyways. Another downside to cases is that most cases will end up scratch your iPhone anyway from dirt and dust getting under them and slowly rubbing against the plastic. My iPhone 3G remains in my hip holster case from Incase until I need to use it... then I carefully un-velcro it, get a nice good grip on it, and use it naked. It feels so much better naked anyway. (By the way, I don't like storing my iPhone in my pocket because I usually end up either sitting on it or it feels like it could slide out (like the change does every time I get in my car).
