The best iPhone case!

i am using argyle love from www.iphonecaze.com. it gives great protection. i dropped my iphone twice in a week before:eek:,lucky that my iphone still functioning well and there is just a tiny scratch at the side of the case which is hardly seen. i am very impressed.

From reading the reviews I was very interested in the Case-Mate leather cases, but from looking at them, it looks like they provide no protection from a fall if it hits from the top.

Is there a leather case with similar quality that protects the top?

Also, what's the default recommendation for a clear "skin" these days?

As far as a "skin", although a tad expensive the Zagg invisible shield is well worth the money. I've had them on all of my iPhones and have never had a scratch on any of them.

I have just picked up the 32G 3GS and am just wondering as well about the cases that others have liked well even though I will still have a Zagg on it.
 
Just got an Incipio Feather from Amazon. Looking forward to it. Been hearing good reviews.

I'll try and post pics when it arrives.

various people have already posted pictures, be sure to clean your case/phone once a week or it will mark the hell out of your bezel.
 
My vote is in for the Seidio Innocase II Surface. I bought it from Amazon for $33 with free shipping, and it came with the spring clip belt holster (this combo is $50 + shipping on Seidio's website).

The case is very minimal, and features:
  • a hard plastic shell with a rubbery coating for grip (but it's not hard to pull out of your pocket)
  • a felt liner to protect the back of the iPhone from scratches
  • a window to show off the Apple logo on the back of the iPhone (the window has a thin plastic film over it)

The spring clip belt holster features:
  • a face-in design to protect the iPhone screen
  • a felt liner on the surface of the holster. This is where the screen faces the holster. However, there is around 2 mm of space between the screen and the felt, so there is no contact
  • the clip swivels 180°

I've only had the case for a few days, but I can tell that I'll enjoy it for a while to come.
 
Got an incase slider again after nearly a year, returned first one since screen shield kept lifting and the matte was starting to peel. This time I got the gunmetal and the bodyguardz screen shield, all I can say is that it is the best combo ever. Looks great, no lifting of screen protector, and not much bulk. The slider is the best case I've had out of the Neo, Rebel, and the air jacket.

These cases, the whole series is incredibly beautiful and yet expensive. So I'm unsure if its worth the extra cost. Did you drop it without the case the week before or with it?

i am using invisible shield,it gives great protection, but it is terribly hard to apply on my iphone and not really fahsionable.

this is nice and the cost is fair
 
Switcheasy Color

Like the Switcheasy cases a lot..the color is made of silicone very simple,excellent quality..well rated in the ilounge!..and cheap...a "no brainer" choice

Also like more-thing's Hex hydrocarbon polymer case...again cheap, great fit and very protective too.

More-thing make the Twine series.I have dropped my iphone 4 times now in this case...a good all rounder.

The capsulerebel is also an excellent case and very striking.

The case-mate smooth is a great case too...excellent build quality.

Bought all my cases at technocrowd.com, very fast shipping and great customer service too.
 
Just got a new Otterbox Defender from eBay for $30 with free shipping. Here's some pics. The thing is built like a brick shithouse, too.

It almost looks like it's in a big fluffy pillow! Thanks for posting the pics. I'd always wondered EXACTLY how bulky those are and this gives me a better idea than some of the other pics I've seen. I'll be pickin' one up for the occasional instances I'm afraid of heavy contact with my phone. :)

can you even fit that thing in your pocket? I guess to each his own..
 
Received my SGP Silke Neo Hybrid Case today.

It's a piece of crap.

The two halves are difficult to connect together and they come apart after being in your pocket for a while.

Avoid at all costs unless you enjoy being pissed off and frustrated.

I bought SGP's ultra thin case in matte black, but after about a month, the corner started cracking and eventually a large piece just broke off. I contacted them and they sent a replacement, but the new one did the same thing after a few weeks. Really disappointing quality, I'm afraid. I baby my belongings too.

Maybe it's the materials they use. Their products are not really worth it in my book.
