iPhone 3G Case Recommendation?

[robinb]

I just bought an iPhone 3G last week (yes, I went over to "the dark side" as I put it, LOL!) and I realize that I really need a case for it. Does anyone have a case that they love?

I have a Griffin Wave case - 2 actually, pink and blue. www.griffintechnologies

The case snaps together and has a cool design. I don't like the screen protector that comes with it, so I use the ones from the Apple store. The case also comes with a cleaning cloth.

I originally had a magenta Incase silicone cover - that was cute.

I hear great things about the Incase slider, too, but I've never tried one.

Be careful, cases are addictive! LOL. The spouse has FOUR.

DH and I have these:

They are from OtterBox.com

Pretty indestructible. I have dropped mine everywhere, and I just pick it up and dust it off. It has a hard shell with a rubber casing that fits over top of that. So your iPhone is enclosed almost completely.

I have a hard case, called Incase. I really like it. It has all the ports (that is so not the right word) open so you don't have to take the case off and still can plug everything in.

I also bought a cover for the screen that is matte-like, so the screen isn't as shiny. I can't remember the name, but both of them can be purchased at the apple store.

But I'm really happy with both of my purchases.

I got some good accessories for mine on ebay, way cheaper than retail. accusation was the id I think. I have been happy with all the stuff I got from them, case, screen saver, car chargers etc...

Thanks everyone! I found a website called iLounge (http://www.ilounge.com/index.php) and it has some reviews of cases and other accessories. The Otterbox and the Griffen Wave both get great reviews. The Incase Slider gets only a "C" because it leaves a lot of the iPhone exposed. I also don't have a docking station, so I really don't need full access to the bottom of the phone.

amyhughes: I have been putting my phone in my pocket. I am worried that the Otterbox case won't slide in and out of my pocket easily. I have a Dell Axim x51 with a silicone case and it's really "sticky". OTOH, "indestructible" is good . My 9-year old plays with my phone all the time and I can't afford a replacement phone if she drops and kills this one.
