Recommend a cover or case for iPhone 3G

What would people recommend as the best choice for a cover or case for the iPhone 3G? I've had my iPhone for a week and would like to get a cover or case which is convenient, lightweight and does not take away too much for the aesthetics of the iPhone.

Thanks.

i have a crystal clear hard case on my phone. its the best case around. 100% protection of the phone yet. i had silicon cases on my original iphone, but this has better protection in the even that its dropped.


I had the same case for my original iPhone. It did a good job for most drops, but one time I had my phone on the kitchen counter and went to grab something and knocked it off. It fell face down on the tile floor and cracked the screen.

For my 3G I just have a leather pouch type case for now until I can find one I like. I'm waiting for the Incase Slider to come out for the 3G. I've heard good stuff about it. It's supposed to come out in August sometime. It looks pretty cool. Not sure if there is any screen protection. It says is has some, but I think that is only for scratches, not drops.

This is what it looks like, but this is for the original iPhone

I know they are other cases that are bulkier that offer more protection, some are even waterproof, but then you have to use earphones or blue tooth to talk on it. Also I'd imagine any case that provides a front shield will change the appearance and use of the screen.
