What Case Are You Getting for Your 3g iPhone?

That is sharp. Seen any reviews?

Not often you see "At SwitchEasy, we are very anal with buttons." on a corp web page.

Yeah I saw that too, and it also made me laugh. Although it is actually quite a reassuring thing though, as they obviously know what we are looking for in a case.

Lol, I think they changed it to "At SwitchEasy, we are very conscientious with buttons."

They did! They must be watching this thread.

How about throwing a discount code our way!?!

I can't find any sites with reviews of this case but I really find it interesting.

Any review sites?

I just pulled it right off. Although possible, the case did not suffer any tears when I did it. I can post a pic if you'd like.

Concerning skins, which one has the best tactility? I find the phone is pretty slippery. I just need to put one on the back and have it NOT wrap around the corners or the chrome. I like my phone naked like my Hooters wings.
 
I would love a vaja case, anything else I can find, and I've searched exhaustively and looked at every case posted here, looks like cack in my opinion. Just don't know if i've got the patience to wait for it...
 
I just received the Contour Flick in the mail, and I gotta say I'm liking it. Yes it's quite minimalist in its design, and yes it probably won't protect against drops worth crap, but I'm usually quite careful with my electronics. I just needed something to protect the back of the phone from scratches, and this does just that. I also like how my iPhone pretty much looks naked (adds very little bulk, glossy black finish).

What I don't like is the BSE front skin that arrived the same day. I guess I should have done more research, but just feeling its surface made me cringe. It's way too tacky to be on a touch screen like the iPhone. I'm not sure if it would be any different when it's applied and dried, but from what others have said about the back pieces I think it would be the same. I'm thinking I should return it for a refund and just get a PS Anti-Glare Film instead.

Also liking the Rebel. I'm just wondering how tacky the silicone would be. I've had a Belkin before the Flick and I really hated how much lint got on it, and how it never seemed to slide into or out of my pocket easily. If anybody could post a review when they get theirs in the mail?

Can't find any in-depth reviews but it looks to nice to pass up.

I was going naked, but that looks like the case for me. I think I might do it... can you post some pics when you get it? I wonder how thick it is and how it feels. I don't think I'd use them, but I also wonder how the screen protectors would feel for daily use.

Lots of info on their site, I wish it showed the thickness of the case, both the thickness of the material and the overall thickness of the phone with the case on. I wonder if I should order it in black to make my white iPhone black, so I can have both, if I ever want to go commando :D

I ordered 2 of these (cuz they were cheap) and thought I'd try different colors. Both didn't fit correctly. There were a lot of gaps that left it exposed and would allow WAY too much dust and dirt to get in and scratch it up. It wasn't contoured enough to really fit. Both of them fit differently had both had issues. I took them off immediately and still on my quest for the perfect case.
 
Crap....have one on the way...how bad is the fit? I am NOT worried about the dirt, etc. I just wanted a thinner skin similar to the OEM BlackBerry skins. I am not a fan of the thicker skins since I only use the skin occasionally.

Had the Incase slider for the iPhone 2g. Originally wanted to get the slider for 3g. Instead tried out the Griffin Wave. Absolutely loving the wave. I don't dock my phone anyways and the grip is so much better with the Wave!

Also waiting for the Vaja Ivolution. Another 3 weeks to wait!
 
Hi there,

I had an Agent 18 Eco Shield my old iPhone. It was terrible and totally scratched the bezel. So I decided to buy a skin instead. I went for a BodyGuardz.
Installing it was really difficult and the edges didn't look good at all... so I took it off.

Now that I have an iPhone 3G, I don't know what to do : try a skin again or not ? Maybe I installed it wrong the first time.
I need something that covers both the back and the bezel in one piece. For the front I'm gonna stick with my Power Support Crystal Film that is just perfect. I also don't want something that appeals dust.

BodyGuardz don't seem to cover the bezel. Ghost Armor are (?) in several pieces. I don't know about InvisibleShield but a lot a people seem to dislike them. I also don't know anything about BestSkinsEver and iWrap skins.
- What would you choose ?
- Do these skins are durable or do they appeal dust after a few months ? Maybe someone that got one for the first iPhone can tell me.

I also like SkiniZi and Gelaskins, but they don't really protect the whole back.

iSkin (Revo2) all the way! Currently have the crappy Incase neoprene sleeve that bulges on one side because it wasn't sewn right.
 
some how the griffin nu form looks better in picture than actual. kinda wish I got the gray instead of white for my black phone.

I ordered it from the Apple Store and got it three days ago and have been using it since. It replaced an Agent18 (black) that I really didn't like. It's called the Griffin Nu Form and I LOVE it! Thin, dockable and stylish.

Just got mine at work today, matched with the
Power Support Crystal film - it kicks ass! :cool:

I'll be looking for a good leather belt holster. I like that speck holster, but I bump into crap with my hips a lot, so i need some scratch protection on both sides. So far I haven't seen any I've really loved.

With all due respect but belt holsters should only be worn by superintendents and security guards, next to the maglite.

I recommend the Hard Graft products from Austria. They look great, are of great quality and quite cheap.
