What kind of cases do you all have for your iPhone?

What I see more and more , in fact just yesterday but always in chrome version . Not really a case per say has no glass protection so more like a sleeve ?




Seido case

No case. Without a case I can easily put the iPhone in my front pocket. All cases add bulk. You pay dearly for small so why make it big?

Agree.

Going commando with the Ipod is the best solution ...

Alright. Just wondering.

I thought the new iPhone had some sort of smudge resistance on the glass?

It has some pretty hard glass as glass is not all the same. The only thing I try to do (but often fail) is not drop it in my pocket with my car keys or change. Even that happening often and I wipe the iPhone on my sleeve and the screen is shiny and not a scratch. Putting a cover on it would be a waste.

I disagree. I have big hands and the small phone is slippery as all hecl on some days.
I need something a bit more tactile and grippy. Not rubbery, just more grippy than steel and glass.
My 1st gen iPhone ended up in the same pocket as my keys and I ended up with a scratch.

I had this one for my 1st gen and it was great. I must have dropped my phone 5 times from about 3-3.5 feet up and it absorbed the shock nicely.
Very nice craftsmanship and good grade of leather.

Even better.


I am still able to carry the phone in my pocket since I'm older and not wearing skin-tight clothing like in my younger days.
I use the holster on occasion.


Are they pricey. Yes.
But there's nothing worse than having an expensive smart phone wrapped in a bubble gum-rubbery, dollar store-looking , chintzy wrapper

I tried commando, and lost. The iPhone survived, but barely. Never again. Went with Incase. It's low profile and slick enough to get in/out of the pocket fairly easily. As a compromise, Zagg (InvisibleShield) makes a nice clear wrap that will prevent scratches, but not much help from shock.

Heh -- commando ain't for everybody ;-)

But yeah, it all depends of how much you throw the thing around in everyday usage -- mine spends most of the time on my desk or in my pocket, so there's really very little risk of shock events ...

I tried the InvisiShield and can vouch for it's scratch protection... but as you say no shock protection.

Additionally, in-out of pocket so much started to cause the corners to peel back. After about a month I tore it off and threw it away.
