    Default Iphone cases

    I was wondering what cases / protection you guys own as I'm looking to get something and i haven't got a clue what to get, there's too many!! lol.

    I was thinking: Incase Slider Case for iPhone 3GS - Apple Store (U.K.)

    But does it make your phone that much more bulkier?

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    That's the exact case I just bought couple days ago. I'm loving it so far. My iPhone is well snugged in the case. Doesn't get that bulkier but I know that it will survive a fall.

    I actually bought 2 incase slider cases when I had my iphone 3g. They do fit really good and fits in your pocket well also. The thing you have to be careful with is itpossible scratching the chrome bezel around the iphone. Before I traded my iphone 3g, I removed the incase slider off of it and it did have some sctraches on it.

    I now have a 1Phone 3gs 16GB. It[s actually what I traded my 3g for. But anyways instead of getting another incase slider, I'm gonna get a Griffin Outfit Shade case: Griffin Technology: Outfit Shade - Hard-shell fashion for iPhone

    These are actually a lot similar to the Incase but the inside of the Griffin is somewhat rubber and it protects against scratches.

    i've had the slider case for over a year and the thing has taken a beating. I've dropped it over 10 times from at least waist height on all sorts of flooring and the case, although cracked in several areas is still holding up perfectly well.

    FYI: you can find $5 incase slider cases at the store 5 and Below.

    bought one at the weekend and its the best case i've had so far, it protects the bits which can get damaged or scuffed easily (bezel and back) and it doesn't feel that much chunkier

    So well worth a purchase

    I have heard read in several reader reviews, one of them at gizmoaccessories.com that there will be a chip or crack at the seam. Not sure if this is a quality control issue or if it's common for most slider cases.

    I used the incase slider for awhile and it was pretty nice but I found that it scratched up the bezel a bit, and where the rubber from the case made contact with the back of the phone it was a little scuffed up.

    I recently switched to the speck candyshell and I highly recommend it over the slider.

    Hope this helps

    If your not worried about "Bulk" and do worry about your phone getting scuffed up or dropped or any marks what soever..Get a OtterBox Defender case Their the best "protective" case Ive ever seen I put one on my iPhone yesterday all I gotta say is I aint worried about anything now..Heck I'LL play frizby with the damn thing lol

    Candyshell solves 2 problems elegantly. 1) hard cases suck at impact protection. You need some damping factor, such as a silicon case. 2) silicon case attract dirt like there's no tomorrow...and it's hard to slide it in and out of the pocket.

    Candyshell is soft on the inside and hard on the outside. The softness is where it counts, on the inside. And hardness is where it counts, on the outside. Beautiful design!!

    @Cid6.7. I don't understand a typical Joe-Six-Pack carrying around a Otterbox Defender on a daily basis. If you work in construction or outdoors, then it's understandable. A typical office/service worker does not need that kind of protection or bulk. If you are afraid of breaking it, probably best to leave it in a safe deposit box. The whole point of the iPhone, besides the functionality, is the slickness and sexiness of its design. Don't cover it up!

    Um,can't choose one bluetooth headphone between those two. One has longer Standby Time. Another one is cheaper and Wireless.
    I want to have a substantial one for daily call.
