iPhone Case Recommendations

[Raistlin]

I currently have a fabric slip-case for my iPhone 3GS, which keeps it clean and stops it getting scratched.

I'm feeling less 'precious' about the 'phone now as I've had it over a year and I'm thinking about going for a case that allows me to use it without having to keep taking it in and out of the case.

I've seen a few that look like they fit around the iPhone and cover everything but the screen, I think that's the sort of thing I'm after.

I'd like something smooth though (like the iPhone) so it doesn't snag on the inside of pockets etc.

Anybody got any recommendations? Would I need a screen protector as well? Any recommendations for those? Do they affect how responsive the screen is at all?

Thanks all

When I had my 3GS, I had a "Power Support Air Jacket" on it. Covered the horrible scratch-prone plastic back, left the front free.

Mrs D has an "Incase Slider" for her 3G. Covers the back & wraps around the sides. The bottom part can be removed so the phone can be placed in a dock.

I never bothered with a screen protector on my 3GS, & it was still scratch free after a year.

I did use a "Power Support anti-glare" screen protector on my 3G, which was quite good and didn't affect the screen in any negative way. Like all screen protectors, though, it was an absolute PITA to apply without bubbles or dust.
