Best Case for iphone 3GS

[Fozzie]

Hi People,
Whats the best case for the iphone 3GS?
I like the rubber type ones that fit all around it to keep it free from scratches etc
What does everyone think??

 

[Gareth]

Incase

A tad pricey, but the best I've had/seen:

http://store.apple.com/uk/product/TW822ZM/A?n=iphone3&fnode=MTY1NDA0NA&mco=MTA4NDY2NDQ

Doesn't seem to get much praise on the Apple website though.

zagg invisible shield.

No point having an iPhone, and then covering it up with a case.

yep, i have the soft touch one for mine - its scratched to hell on the back because of the environment i work in but i would rather it was scratched than the phone itself.

this one fits well (only the sides are rubber though, not the back - which is see-through plastic iirc) i also have these - well worth it to protect the screen imo

 

[DrR]

I like my incipio.

 

[sneeks]

Incipio Feather is perfect for my 3GS.

^ agree,

i have the green one, and you can see all the dirt that collects onit, so its better on that and keep the phone nice and tidy tbh wel worth the £12 off ebay

 

[Andy.]

The Incipios do a good job of scratching the phone too though. When I find the inclination to do it, I'm going to stick the invisishield on it.

I bought one of these:

Does the job and came with a screen protector too... I also like the look of it

Griffin elan form graphite, it has soft touch paint on the inside so dosnt scratch and it is hard plastic so ya can drop it and not worry. expensive but worth it

I rock a white one of these......

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/APPLE-IPHONE-...sesPouches?hash=item2556ef7353#ht_1837wt_1165

it protects the phone and keeps the OEM look, although it does add bulk to the phone

and the model code on the back refers to the 3G and not the 3GS, but meh..... still says 16GB on the back

 

[Jonesy]

just grab yourself a black silicone case from ebay, mine cost £1.99 from here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330373125658&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I have a white Incipio feather which I like as it stops it being so slippery and getting scratched to hell, but is really discoloured now. Looks manky!

 

[Kerryclio]

I have a belkin one from apple shop

 

[Fletcher]

Nothing..that's how i roll with mine.

I have a belkin one from apple shop

Finally got an iPhone now then.

Not even a screen protector?

 

[Gareth]

I don't see the point in a screen protector? Its impossible to scratch the screen.

Well maybe a screen protector, but nothing on the back of it.

 

[TimR26]

Mine would be scratched to f**k without one.

 

[Dr G]

i hate silicon cases and really i got the iphone because i like the design, so i didnt want anything taking that away from it so i opted for one of these bad boys, best thing i got for it, look and feels quality and easy to slip out when you want to use it but protects the screen casing when in ya pocket: http://ikonicedge.com/

Anyone had a gela skin????

I really want to order one but want to see one on a phone first (not to mention find someone to order one with (cheaper postage))

exactly, ive had a touch for a few years, not a scratch on it, never seen a scratch on an iphone screen, its the back case you need to worry about scratching, you only have to look at it to scratch that!

I rock with an iSkin Solo, see-thru green.

 

[Racingblue182]

Incipios are oki, but I find the paint chips very easily, I ended up scraping it all off mine so it looked ok.

 

[Mot!]

I've always used the incipio feather, tried the new NGT recently which is like a gel case and wasn't impressed.

Sick of the feather scatching the chrome bevel so I've ordered an osir carbon case, $$$ but it's sexy

 

[sneeks]

I think most cases scratch the chrome bevel, I gave up worrying about it.

 

[Tom]

i just displex mine every now and then, good as new..

 

[Mot!]

Never used displex, just ordered some to give it a whirl

 

[Fozzie]

I went for the iskin solo in the end great case!

 

[dk]

good man, what colour?

p.s. don't use the screen protector, its not required and gives a sort of petrol film to it as its a mirror one, but as said, its definitely not needed anyway.

 

[Alfonz]

I dont use any cases i just replace the whole casing, front screen, back case, steel plate.

You rate this stuff then?

Any tips on application etc or is it explained?



Was it you who said about gelaskins in the other case related thread?
