I just bought a 3Gs... ya I know old tech. However, I am very rough on phones. They get a lot of use. My old phone (an ancient Blackjack) had a screen so scratched I could barely see through it. The phone lives in my pocket, the center console of my truck and in general, I don't treat the phone as though it were an egg about to crack.
Now I know I should be careful, however I don't feel like I should have to treat my phone as though it were a piece of delicate china. I want to be able to actually USE my phone rather than show off how cool I am because I have an iPhone. I have tried a couple of different covers for it, but they have either fit poorly or are so sticky that they won't go into my pocket smoothly and then want to turn my pocket inside out when I remove it.
I need a cover that is inexpensive, not bulky, and not sticky. I want it to slide into my pocket and come out with ease. It doesn't have to be flashy. Along that same vein I am looking for a screen protector that will mimic the bare screen. I have noticed that the iPhone screen seems to be self cleaning of sorts. It gets fingerprints on it sure, but it seems to be able to shed those and wipe smooth and clean, even if I just put it in my pocket. I have tried a couple screen protectors of two different brands I found at my local Wal-mart, but didn't really like them. One reason was I kept getting them on a little crooked and a small corner would poke over the edge of the screen onto the silver trim and after a couple of days that edge would begin to peel up and eventually the whole protector would be peeling off. I FINALLY got a protector to be evenly placed on the screen and it seems to be holding up, it just gets dirty easily and is a bit difficult to keep clean. However, it seems stuck to the phone which is fine by me as it's the screen I am more worried about protecting and could really care less about how many scratches the back of the phone gets.
A cover would be nice in that it would help absorb any shock from dropping the phone and to make the screen protector last longer as it would cover the edges and keep it from peeling up...

The color looks very nice and it has a good feel to it. Also it is lined inside so it does not scratch up the back of your iPhone.
