Can't figure out what case to get :(

I've been scouring the web for 2 weeks looking for a good case. I'm looking for a case that protects pretty much everything. I'm really liking the Ivyskin cases (especially the T2), but I'm wondering if there are any others like it (definitely not the Otterbox). I was looking at the iSkin Revo2, but I don't like how the little plastic screen cover doesn't actually let you use the iPhone's screen.

So, any other cases, or should I just get the Ivyskin Quattro T2? Thanks.

Well at first I might think that having *any* barrier in between the iPhone glass and outside elements might provide protection, however, if it fits close enough to transfer capacitative touch it's probably also close enough to transfer impact and a drop would just as likely crack *both* glass panels just as easily as if "naked". And in the case of 3GS, you're going to lose the oil resistant finish since you'd be covering the glass with non-resistant glass.

I don't really wanna use a little film to cover the screen anymore.

I guess I'll give the Quattro T2 a try. Fits all my needs and looks good. I'll ask Ivyskin about how good the glass is.

personally i dont like having a bulky *** case on my iphone, i use the casemate barely there. the way i see it, if you get the dropsy's often enough, you shouldnt have an iphone to begin with.

Everything you've suggested is bulky and ugly.

I'd recommend three solutions:
  • BSE or another invisible skin.
  • Agent 18 clear case
  • Griffin Elan Form hard shell

I don't really think them skins r good cos they start to look ugly real quick, well mine did and I fit it correct. I'm using exspect leather flip case, £20 and it's very good and stylish ( cheap vaja) lol. I have 8 cases all different, all crap. But this is sexy

I'm not ever using a hard case again. I've had bad experiences with hard cases on several different devices.

Yeah, I think I'll just get the T2.
