    check out the griffin nu form. I bought 5 case for my new 3g through apple and the nu form was the only one I kept. It fits snug, hard shell for bumps and it it's too big. For 29 bucks it's my choice. Good luck!

    It's not as bad as it looks in images. At least, imho.

    I just got the Otterbox Defender series for the 2G iPhone. It is very nice, and I'm quite confident of it's protection (I work outside a lot). I've tried way too many cases (should probably start putting some of them up for sale....). Leather ones, plastic ones, silicone, wraps, etc., easily $100+ in R&D just to find what I wanted. The OB Defender is the keeper for me. There are many good reviews on it, so I won't repeat that. But...one really nice thing, is that it protects the chrome trim AND still makes it easy to use the side of the screen (i.e. when searching alphabetically through your contacts). Other than wraps, most every case I tried that covered the chrome trim made the edge of the screen unusable. The OB Defender case tilts away from the screen in this area, so that the edge is usable.

    Oh...I got mine delivered for half of what most websites are selling them for. Used provantage.com (no affiliation, just a long time customer).

    nooo!!! get the switcheasy rebel by far the best of both worlds. you get it on amazon and have it in 3 days for $23 or so comes with dock adapter, 2 crystal screen protectors, cloth 2 clean the screen and a cover for the plug on the bottom, by far the best case i've ever seen or owned and i've owned many. only complaint is by the volume button it bulges a lil bit due to the volume buttons but it can easily can be cut out so it will fit fine.

    The Rebel does look cool. But, is the lip that covers the chrome bezel on the Rebel any different than their Capsule model?

    If not, it'll scratch the chrome bezel. I used the Capsule both with screen protectors (theirs) and without, and the chrome bezel on my iPhone (before I recently got a new one under warranty), looked like crud. Purchased the Capsule back in 12/07, it sits unused since I noticed this (and read about it more after I found the issue). YMMV.

    don't worry i made the same mistake i bought the agent 18 and said it can't be that bad because for the 1g it was a good case... NOOOOOTT it sux for the 3g. so far i'm up to $55 just on cases in 2 weeks lol.

    hartphoto:

    this one is silicone i think the capsule was hard plastic (not sure but thats what i assumed) there is no plastic parts that even touch the phone its really the most amazing case i've ever seen every person that sees it says they want it.

    definitely the best $25 i ever spent seeing as how i paid $15 just for 2 screen protectors and $30 for just a hard plastic case. and this one comes with all that stuff.

    my opinion dish out the money and buy it, you will not be dissatisfied
