Do the iPhone 3G Cases work with the iPhone 4?

What cases from the Apple Store work with the iPhone 4... Most all the cases (aside from the Bumpers which I already have) are for the iPhone 3G/3Gs. Will these cases fit the iPhone 4?

Dual 2.8 Quad Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4), iPad 64GB WiFi+3G

No. Shape of phone is different. The iPhone 4 has front facing camera. The iPhone4 moved the proximity sensors. The iPhone 4 has a LED flash.

Even if you don't care about flash and camera, any non iPhone4 case more than likely will cover the proximity sensors thus messing up any and all calls as the screen will always think you have your phone by your ear and thus never turn on (once a call is established)
