Sonny,
I bought this one From the Apple Store Online when they were having their Black Friday Sale.
It fits perfectly and is very slim, has a non-slick outer texture, and appears to be very durable.
I wanted a slim tough case that would slip in my pocket. And so far this one is perfect for my needs.

someone I used to work with has one of those incase sliders and they are REALLY REALLY nice looking, Slim, his had almost a rubbery feeling to it but it was a hard case kind of like seido. They also make cases for the ipods. http://www.seidioonline.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=2361

I have one for my Blackberry and I LOVE it! Shey has one for his Motorolla and we both have the pocket clip case for both our phones as well. they make a REALLY good product and I havent had any problems with them at all.

I had a Seidio on my BlackBerry and loved it. I bought one for my iPhone when I got it. It stays securely on my belt and feels good in my hands with the rubberized case.

out of the ones you listed I like the Revo2 the best

I have found that no matter what case I get I end up going back to no case. I have tried to different cases both hard cases both nice, but I just like the feel of no case best.

Paul - Thank you for the suggestion. I'll have to look at that one too.

Cynthia - Some of their cases are very affordable. Compared to two of the ones I listed above.

David - I have the Invisible Shield on the front of my iPhone. But I want a little more protect for the rest of my phone.

The invisible shield was my choice when I bought my Iphone 3G. Some might call me obsessive, although I took my phone out of my box, ensured no dust was on it, and immediately put the Ishield on the front and back of my phone. It looks like there is nothing on the phone and it is completely protected from scratching.

I carry mine in this Marware belt holster. It allows me to still plug in headphones, silence the phone when ringing all without taking it out of the case.

Hope this helps,
Scott

That looks really nice and functional. My son and I will be getting iPhones in about six weeks, and it would be nice to have the case ready to go.

I pre-ordered a belt case from Marware - It has magnets instead of velcro - It stays on my belt very well yet is easy to take on and off. It fits the phone really well and is easy to use. I also bought the Invisible shield from Zagg (www.zagg.com). I sent my phone to Zagg for the installation. They do a really great job of getting it on straight. Several people didn't believe it had anything on it until they felt it. Sorry to have rambled on, but I have been really happy with customer service at both Zagg and Marware.

I've got an Incipio that I picked up from the AT&T store.

I've heard great things about the Switcheasy Rebel.

How you plan to carry the phone dictates the type of case you need, but in my view Sena makes the highest quality cases period.

Check out www.otterbox.com. I have one for my iPod and another for my Blackberry. My iPod case is submersible in up to 30 m of water; the Blackberry is just "splashproof" and much more shockproof. Definitely not just a skin, but to me worth every penny.
