    What case to get for iPhone 3GS

    Hey guys,

    Not sure if this has been asked before but I finally managed to get my hands on a 3GS the speed compared to the 3G is much better in my opinion. I delays that I used to get with my 3G is hardly noticeable now.

    Anyway I had an incipio feather, rebel case and incase slider. I was wondering if there anyone else tried something different. I really liked the incipio feather cuz it doesnt increase the overall size of the iphone. However, it breaks really easy and the worst is when it cause the bottom part of my iphone to be scratched. its not noticeable but when you touch it its there.

    I was thinking of moving to Zagg invisibleSHIELD this time, anyone have any comments on these. I have seen the video footage on youtube but then not that convinced yet.

    Any suggestions either in terms of a different case or film protector would be much appreciated.

    Cheers

    Tried loads but always came back to the Feather (hated the invisibleSHIELD the most, total PITA). Also kept the Rebel for more heavy duty protection, but plan to get a Otterbox for the summer's camping trips, hiking etc.

    I got an incipio from Amazon for my girlfriend, she seems to like it. In the market for a screen protector though, anyone suggest a high street cheap option please?

    Cheap screen protectors are a false economy, they usually start peeling off after a week or two. The best i have come across are the Phone Devil ones (you will need to look online - Amazon for example).

    Whatever you do do not get an InvisibleShield. I bought one myself and as the above poster said it is the worst product ever. The end peeled off, and where it peeled off it scratched where I dropped it. I was very annoyed at the time as you could imagine

    i'm still using the incipio screen protector and i think its quite decent.

    i guess zagg is out of the question. since i really prefer the incase slider to the rebel cases. just wondered if there are any better ones. incipio ones tend to trap too much dirt and break too easily.

    I used a Switcheasy Rebel on my 3G, good meaty protection & looked kinda funky but it caused my screen protector to peel a little at the edges due to the positioning.

    I went from that to a Gelaskin, no protection whatsoever but stops scratches on the back, coupled with a screen protector (the one that came with my Rebel) I only have the edges to worry about getting scuffed but my phone is unfortunately no longer an A specimen for various reasons.
