Best Case for the 3G??

I prefer Vaja Cases. There are many styles to choose from, offering differing levels of protection.

I personally don't like plastic cases, because 1. No matter if it's in there, it can still scratch the iphone. Maybe if you just leave it there and never to take it out, it might be okay and not make scratches but if you take it out a lot, over time it will create scratches.

I'd stick with either zagg shield, or bodyguardz, or probably the silicons. Tho the silicons to make the iphone scratch overtime. I've had many other phones with plastic cases or silicon cases, and 2-3 years down the road no matter how much I baby it, there will be scratches.

I have an INCIPIO case i bought at the AT&T store. It comes w/ 2 silicone covers (1 white, 1 black) and a plastic piece that goes over the silicone for extra protection. No complaints so far phone still looks brand new.
Here is the description i got from their website:
Black SILICRYLIC Silicone Crystal Case for Apple iPhone 3G


The SILICRYLIC by Incipio is an innovative 2 part carrying case; a high quality Polycarbonate plastic exterior embedded in a shock absorbing silicone core. The SILICRYLIC offers optimal protection, unparalleled comfort as well as easy access to all features and the iPhone's wide-screen display.

Features
Innovative design combining a custom fit hard acrylic shell with a soft touch silicone core.
High quality silicone core protects against shock.
Provides sturdy protection without sacrificing good looks.
Easy access to controls, touch screen and inputs.
Incipio Vanity Kit: including a surface protector and cleaning cloth.
Includes a video stand for hands free viewing.

Check out Crumpler bags. They make a nice iPhone 3G case (leather) which fits snugly around the phone.

It's nice because you can take the phone out when you are using it and slide it into the case when you are not.

Stylish and allows you to enjoy the "naked" feel of the iPhone when using it vs. always having it enclosed in an iPhone "condom".

The iSkin revo2. Best silicone case by far. It plugs all ports as well. Feel good in your hand and works great with the revo clip as well.

ZAGG Invisible Shield...
I don't use my Sena magnetic flip cover near as much as I thought I would... instead, just slip my 3G into a front trouser pocket. I had ordered my ZAGG while waiting for my Sena case to ship since it was a pre-order back in early July... and have since learned I could have done without the Sena. Sena is a very nice and eloquent leather case, but the protection I get from my ZAGG has proven more functional at the end of the day. The Sena provides protection, style and aesthetics for those business call's, but i have found most cases inhibit the 3G in the "vibrate" mode, causing me to not even being made aware a call has come in.

Make some great cases. I have an awesome suede jacket with a pocket for my headphones. Slide the phone out when I want to use it.

I just bought this for both my wife and I: iSkin solo

However, I didn't like the screen protector that came with the solo so I bought the Anti-Glare Film from Power Support.

So far, so good. I like the case as it seems very well-gripped, tight and solid.

I must say I love my iSkin.

I like switch easy brand cases. You can go to www.switcheasy.com and check them out. I've ordered the Capsule Rebel, and the Capsule Neo from them, I like the Neo, it works great, while a lot of others like the Rebel. Check them out. Also, you can go to You Tube, and search Switch Easy Rebel, and you'll see a lot of people doing reviews on this case, because so many people love it!

Hey...
I know your looking at the Chrome Protection but the incase Leather Sleeve is fantastic!
Mines survived quite a-few drops!
Its really good and looks fantastic as well! =]

I would recommend Bodyguardz because it does cover the chrome. So if this is what you want, you could get bodyguardz and put silicon cases over it, putting the hard cases over it would make the bodyguardz worse.

Endure the case that bulks up iPhone and hides its beauty all just for the sake of protection and instead get scratches from that same case 🙂 Also another paradox - if you're so concerned how the chrome bezel looks than why try to cover it so you won't see it anyway? I think the chrome thing is one of the most classy and attractive elements of iPhone looks. Pity to hide it.

That's why I simply carry my iPhone "naked" (except for screen film) in a pocket. I just make sure that nothing else like coins or keys is in that pocket. No scratches so far in 2 months.

I really like my Sidewinder Deluxe 3G. A case, holster, and headphone wrap all-in-one. My only gripe is that the silicone case can get some dust between it and the iPhone's black housing, but otherwise it's what I wanted when I first got my phone.
