I am interested in the iphone 4 slider cases that are out there (the removable bottom type for easy docking). I am aware of the incase models, but can anyone suggest some others? Preferably slim type...

thanks!
 
I just received 4 different Elago Glide S4 in different colors...black, orange, grey, and chocolate, for about $12 each on Amazon. The cases are really great. Slimmer than InCase, much cheaper, and I can mix and match the colors.

I just put this one on:
"CaseCrown iPhone 4 and 4S Soft Polycarbonate Glider Slim Fit Case - Black Obsidian": http://amazon.co.uk/dp/B0044PQ7GI
...nothing to complain about (except for the logo display...).

Was also looking at this one:
"Skech Shine UltraSlim Case for iPhone 4 / 4S carbon black"
http://amazon.co.uk/dp/B004AKICME
...but as I'm only using it for temporary protection until the GC Leverage is back in stock I went for the cheaper one.

I have been using the Element Formula 4 case. Fits my hand well, I like the look and the case feels rubbery but also slides in and out of my pocket easily.

Are these cases difficult to get on/off like the reviews state?

Do you mean the Element Formula 4?
The top is a snug fit. The bottom slides off easily - maybe a bit too easily. Two tiny drops of crazy glue fixed that - will worry about that in 2 years when I upgrade the 4S.
I don't remove case to charge - have a desk charger that works with the case.

Sorry- was talking about the ones above yours.
But that case looks really nice.
No plans on taking it off then eh?
