Default iPhone 3GS cases

I just got an iPhone 3GS and was wondering what people use to protect their phones from scratches and damage? I would like something sleek and not bulky. What do you use? Recommendations?

My friend at work has a Speck CandyShell case. Looks pretty good, not too bulky.

I picked up the InvisibleShield based on previous CPers reviews.
I've yet to install it, since I'm a lazy SOB and I hear it is incredibly difficult.

I have the iskin revo2 (http://www.iskin.com/revo2_overview.html). I like the look of it and the fact that the material offers some grip to an otherwise slippery device. The shield that fits over the screen is swank, but truthfully i stopped using it as it became too annoying to take it on and off. I still have it in case I need it, but it hasn't gotten much use.



Edit: Also, take a look at CNET's top 20 cases slideshow: http://reviews.cnet.com/2300-19512_7...?tag=mncol;txt

I use the InvisibleShield. It took me about 15 minutes to install. It requires some patience, but I found every case I used prior was much too bulky. The end product is worth it.

I ended up buying an InvisibleShield. We'll see how that goes.

I have an in-case slider. Adds a little bit of bulk, but provides decent protection if you accidently drop the phone

Give this place a try, it's where I've gotten all my ipod cases.

Edit: I'm really fond of their crystal cases.

monoprice offers cases at really low prices, worth at least checking out if you'd rather pay $2 verses $30

EDIT: actually they offer a bunch of accessories including a battery extender, car charger, etc

I have invisible shield on all of my toys. I really like it. It is not that hard to put on if you take your time. Also, read the box. It gave a really good tip about putting the little bits on, let it sit 15 minutes before your put the tabs down. It will make sense when you are going it. Finally, zag has a special right now where decorative skins are 50% off. check it out. www.zagg.com

Update: I installed the invisible shield but I found it really hard to install. The thing has a lot of bubbles that I just can't get out although it fits relatively well. Also, I spent a lot of time cleaning up my work area and myself before starting. . . but it still wasn't good enough. I have a dog and apparently all the hairs and stuff floating around in the air were enough to get a couple under the film. So, I'm not really impressed with this product. I'm going to switch to a hard case as soon as I can.

I installed an invisible shield, but like Kybosh was unable to get it perfectly clean (dog hairs trapped and all).

I still have it on my phone, but have covered it with an iskin solo cover. I really like the combination!

For the shields, I have wrapsol and it doesn't fully cover entire body but creates a cool matte look on the back.

Case I got the griffin elan graphite case off ebay. Not sure if its real carbon fibre but it looks it!
