wanky, it's patently clear that you haven't noticed the rubber that fills the area between the seams and thus should prevent dust/dirt from invading and polluting the screen of your lovely new iPhone.

But the 3GS also records/plays video. What would be the point of calling it a 3GV... the video isn't a new feature.
Also what is with everyone complaining about screws. Do you even own an iPhone? Do you look at it? IT HAS SCREWS ON THE BOTTOM.
You're assuming the case is hard plastic as well. This entire argument is ludicrous.
Not true at all. iPod nano cases were leaked because Apple supplied them w/ specs to get cases ready for the launch of the device.
Screws
First to be clear - I don't give a flying fig about the screws on the new iPhone! Screws or not - I'm getting one.
However, I do own an iPhone [original 2G Edge] and it does not have any screws on it at all, so you can't really say ALL iPhones have screws, they don't.
The original one, IMO, was much better made, using higher quality materials than the subsequent G3 and G3S with their crack-prone, plastic backs - but I would imagine it cost a shed-load to produce, so Apple made it cheaper. This new design seems to be a return to a higher quality product [which is what Apple is famous for] but with an ease of assembly, so its not costing them to make it.

Remember: "De gustibus non est disputandum."
dude, you're smart enough to quote latin, but not smart enough to NOT DROP YOUR TOUCH?!?!?
priorities man... priorities.
and hey, maybe stop putting it into your shirt pocket.
i guess these fumble-fingered man-children are why they sell so many of those ugly cases....
"First to be clear - I don't give a flying fig about the screws on the new iPhone! Screws or not - I'm getting one."
Agree. I mean....let's face it - Apple selling 10M phones a quarter isn't based on whether or not the phone has two screws showing.
I personally don't use a case or cover for my phone, but everyone gets all wound up about the appearance of the phone and at the end of the day 9 out 10 people will probably slap a case over it anyway. People buy the iPhone for the OS and Apple's kick-a$$ 'eco-system' that's in place.

Similar to ipad?
The side by side with the iPad is to show how similar they look?
I don't see it.
I like the looks of them both really, but I don't see that they are similar at all.
One has a seriously beveled edge, and the other does not. The aluminum doesn't even look similar in color. They do both have an iPod connector slot and the speaker/mic holes look similar - that's about it.

I prefer my shirt pocket to a pants pocket because the headphone cord has less chance to get snared on something and I'm certainly not so dorky that I'd wear the thing on my belt.
Regardless, with a silicone case, everything is solved. My priority is the functionality of the iPod touch, not its appearance. It's not like I'm impressing anyone with the damned thing anyhow. Besides, no one sees how ugly the case is when it's in my shirt pocket.
Lighten up. It was a joke. Read it again. It's pretty clear I'm saying the screws are a non-issue. You honestly believe someone thinks Apple put screws on their flagship portable device to make people angry? Come on.
And it's obvious I "took the time to read the first 7 pages" because that's how I know there are 7 pages of arguing about a crappy looking case.
Wow, this place it tense lately. Everyone needs a massage.
This is comedy. A bunch of people arguing over something that no one can confirm. Sounds like religion
Get a life
Winnar!!!!!!!!
Check out your Power button. Or the home button. Or.... Yeah, Apple uses round buttons sometimes. Big ones too.
I would think they would be similar to the MBP's battery level checker button.

Yeh, the entire arugment is pathetic. Give it a rest. Nobody gives a **** what it's made from.

ideal-case's own website has examples of this soft plastic/rubber material. Oh and look, they've posted new pictures of the iPhone 4 cases and they sure don't look like hard plastic to me. Look at the way the bottom of the purple case is curved. Let me guess, it's just broken and that's why it's bent, right? Those don't look crystal clear anymore, and the clear ideal-case iphone 3G/S case to the left is an example of a soft plastic/silicon case that's nearly as clear, covers the buttons, and fits around the headphone jack the same way.

This is a hybrid design. The Speck Candyshell uses both soft silicon and hard plastic.
