I have spent at least the last 2 days researching iphone cases.,
And do you know how many there are, and how many youtube reviews are on them lol

I have come down to the Griffin iClear or the Griffin wave.
Trouble is I have a skin on my iphone and am not sure these will fit.

any suggestions please

Don't know about the Griffins, but I grabbed the incase slider case.. it's a hardcase and feels pretty nice. I had a full skin on it, but only needed the main screen to be protected so removed the skin.

Slider can be ordered from the apple website.

Heyya Josh,

Am looking at the at the same case (incase slider) - does it actually have a protective front on the thing? it's hard to tell in the photos.

No it doesn't, I kept the screen protector, the rest of the skin made the fit on the phone quite tight.

Ahh righto - thanks for that. Will have to look at possibly getting a Zagg or something similar for the screen.

I had a red Griffin Wave for a 2nd gen iphone. Really cool looking case and good protection although it does add a little bit of size to the phone.

my partner has just purchased a switcheasy rebel case and its very cool
Its in black on black, feels great and does not really add that much bulk.

the reviews on this case are amazingly good.
and the protection it gives the phone is very good from what people are saying. And from a youtube review.

I am looking at the cherry colored one or the red one.

I love the ideal of changing just the spine of the case and changing the look of it.

I'm getting a 16 GB iPhone today so I've been doing some research myself

so far the iSkin Revo2 case looks pretty promising, good reviews on both Apple and third party sites.

Do you mean something like the InvisibleSHIELD? (or for the 3G one)
