Right now I'm using a red Karas Kustoms aluminum case. Looks pretty cool, others make comments about it.
Previously I had a graphite Element Vapor4 with the CF back plate. I prefer the look of this case, and will return to it soon enough, many people have commented on this case as well. Just lose a little signal between 6-10 dbs, this only affects me in a few places, but not a big enough issue to not use it.
 
I'm currently using an Apple bumper with an SGP Carbon look back - an ideal combination :

how much was the back cover ?
 
Speck PixelSkin HD (revised 1.0) with an old belt/holster case positioned horizontally that was for an old Nokia phone I used before. After taking off the Apple Bumper and installing the Speck case, some of the added bulk made it fit perfectly into the belt case.

I love my set-up. First, the PixelSkin HD seems very protective and my version isn't so loose on the sides to attract dust from getting inside. It is the revised V1 which is maligned to some for its stiffness with the buttons. But after awhile, locking the screen becomes easier and turning it off isn't as tough after you get used to it. I know a holster case can look dorky, but since I use a belt all the time, it is perfect for me. My phone is no longer in my pocket to collect lint or accidently putting it next to my keys or coins. The PixelSkin HD rarely attracts lint anyway and if one gets stuck, it is easy to clean off. And since I've lost phones a couple times by having them slip out of my pocket, the belt case helps prevent that. My only worries is if someone splashes water on me or bumps close to my hip very hard.

When I clean the screen every couple days, I have both a smooth and fuzzy micro-fiber towel. The smooth is for the sides and for the case, and the fuzzy is for most of the glass. Damp the smooth cloth with hot/warm water and clean the sides first under the case. Then damp the fuzzy one too with hot/warm water, and dry wipe the screen only a couple times. I noticed if I wipe it more than that being it hasn't been in the laundry for a month, that it would leave streaks. That's when you know the cloth is already used up. But only a couple swipes can wipe away the fingerprints fast even with a slightly dirty towel. Just try not to be too OCD about the cleaning. Very convenient set-up and cleaning.
 
I've been using the hand-me-down Bumper my dad got from one of his co-workers while I wait for my free Pixelskin HD from the case program. Supposed to come in Oct 12th, which is a long time, so boo

Considering getting a more robust case, such as an alumacase or silicryllic case, but will wait to see how much I like the Pixelskin before I acutally buy one.

I also just ordered a free "Stealth Guard" for about $3 shipping, front and back screen protector, hopefully those won't suck too bad

Don't worry about the date. My case came a lot faster than the estimated date.
 
Piel Frama

I used the bumper,and went with the Otterbox defender, then I finally got me a black Piel Frama classic flip case with magnetic closure, It is by far the most executive case you can put on your iPhone 4. If you decide to put a case on your iPhone 4, go with a high quality leather case. :apple:
 
I'm rocking the PixelSkin HD since it arrived yesterday (free apple case) and it's great.

I have a black Apple bumper that should be arriving next week along a Icarbons carbon fiber skin for the back. I'll be trying that look that seems to be damn sexy.

Finally, I'll get a black Switcheasy Trim case when they get them in stock.

After that, I'll make the decision.
 
Loving the Hulu. I have a black Hulu with a full body Clear-coat, and I love this combo. The black Hulu case is very sleek, shows off the iPhones beauty, and fits well over the Clear-coat. The black one is my favorite because it takes nothing away from the iPhone's black and silver form factor. I will say this, that blue one looks pretty cool too :)
 
I rip off a strip of tinfoil and I position it across my iPhone 4. I get 5 bars everywhere I go!!

Photos would be AWESOME! :)
 
Well I broke down and finally decided to go with a case, should be getting the Incipio NGP Smoke in a couple of days. After having my phone for a while I never seem to have a good grip on it compared to my 2G. I think it's the thinness of the phone and the sharp edges when no bumper is on. Oh, and that Apple bumper looks like crap after a couple of weeks. The shiny plastic is scratched to hell from just putting it in and out of my pocket and it is getting a little loose.

Almost 3 years without using any case for more than a couple of days with my iPhone 2G.

I have purchased six cases - but still find myself using the cheapest one - the Replicase. I have on in white and one in red. I prefer the white because the red one is pretty scratched up now.

There is load of combos you can come up with using the SGP and Lucky Lab products. I've installed these for my friends and family. I installed a lot more but forgot to take pics.

I have 4 cases now, and I swap them out on a regular basis. I have yet to find an "ultimate" solution. In no particular order:

Incase Snap in Black Frost
Incase Slider in black
Incipio NGP in smoke
Speck Candyshell in black, white, and dark blue

Getting a Apple bumper (black) to combo it w/ an iCarbons carbon fiber skin I installed (don't know if I'll be keeping the white inserts they included for the Apple logo)...
