I may end up buying one of these but I'm waiting for one of the colored ones.
Got a tip for us?

What case is thin yet protective?

I just picked up 2x of the Belkin Grip Vues (clear) for my phone as well as my wife's, as this was the ONLY case available in the DFW area as far as I could tell, and had to get them from Best Buy (ugh). Apple store was a zoo and didn't even have anything in stock that related to the iPhone 4, cases or hardware.
The first thing I noticed was using the Belkin Grip Vue made it impossible to use the iFrogz screen protectors (again the only ones in stock for the iPhone 4) at the same time... major disappointment.
I plan on getting Feathers for both of our phones and the crystal screen protectors in a week or two hopefully when they are available. At least with BB I can just return all this crap within 14 days for a refund. I needed protection until then, especially for my wife's phone as she just tosses it in her purse.

I agree! The Sonix Snap is a great case and my iPhone 4 works in the TomTom car kit with the case on and a small piece of Velcro backing.
I'd like to disagree here, the grip vue for iphone is TERRIBLE, it doesn't fit properly, it has the flash issue, and it's way too expensive.
For a tpu case, there is absolutely no reason not to find one on ebay right now for $2. I have a few more coming i'll review, including the seller links... but so far the 1.43 monoprice tpu fit better than the $30 belkin - although it has 1 issue itself.
Tpu case 'manufacturers' are a tremendous ripoff - well all the name brand case makers are, including apple. These things are made for pennies and sold for 20-30 $.. ridiculous even factoring in R&d + packaging.
