Right now I have a black textured incase case from Best Buy. Solid for the most part bug one really big flaw already, the top if it ripped a little. Really bogus. If you think you can avoid it, I would recommend it. Then again I haven't been using it very long at all.

I'm looking into getting an iSkin Solo FX. Anyone tried it? From what I read online it's got an amazing feel to it.

Has anyone tried ZAGG Invisible Shield? I like the look of my phone so much I don't want to cover it up and Invisible Shield sounds like my best option.

 Have you checked out best skins ever? They sell the exact same product at a fraction of the cost, the IS does come with a lifetime warranty though, but for the cost of it you can buy several BSE lol.

 I have had them on all my phones with the exception of one blackberry I had, I ordered the IS for it as I didnt know about BSE, since then all I have used is BSE and notice no difference in the 2 out side of cost. the BSE site even says they use the same product.

 I think you would be happy with either one, just take your time in putting it on and you'll do fine..

Personally, I love the Invisible Shields.  I have only used zagg and I love them.  I don't think I would try any others
We fear the unknown, but that is where the treasure lies.

Sometimes my minds wanders, other times it leaves completely

Zagg Invisible shields ftw!

You get a lifetime warranty and in my opinion cases hide the iPhone's nice sleek look.

ZAGG sounds awesome. The only draw I can see is not using my phone for a day or two! I took back my Incase and got a simple faux leather case that my phone can just slide into. I like it for what it is. Has anyone ever tried having Best Buy putting their Invisible Shield on? They say it's an extra 12 dollars and I don't know if that is worth it.

I always put them on myself. If I were you I'd put it on myself. IMO the $12 isn't worth it.

There are a lot of youtube videos that show step-by-step on how to install the invisible shield.

I got my iSkin solo fx today in the mail (FINALLY), and it feels amazing. It's so smooth, solid, and slick without being bulky and heavy. I will look for someone with a digital camera to take some good pictures. The mirror screen protector it came with is actually really slick looking.

I think I'm gonna get a case for my 3G S, cause I drop it a lot.

I've heard that the InCase Slider and the Seidio Innocase II or whatever Innocase is used for the iPhone are the best cases for the iPhone. I can recommend Seidio's products as I've used an Innocase on my BlackBerry. I wish I got one for my 8900.
Read the forum rules and search!

Thanks, I'll be sure to check those out.

Check this out though:

I saw that on Engadget. I like it alright but I wouldnt use it unless I got an invisible shield because it leaves the back vulnerable to nasty scratches. The guy at the AT&T store was trying to sell me on an otter box for a long time. They are just so ugly. They really are amazing for protection though.

BTW I would NEVER do that to my phone. The first time I saw it I almost jumped out of my seat.

Yea me too. I can't seem to find a site where I can purchase this though.

i use the spec candy shell case with invisible shield on the screen. I like it cause its like a gel skin on the inside, but hard shell on the outside. I also like the fact that its a one piece case vs those 2 piece ones that tend to come apart or will pop off if you drop it. I have the black/grey one on my 3GS

When I was looking for my iskin in person a lot of people directed me to these cases. They look really slick. Nice choice.

I would suggest checking your local TJ Maxx and Marshalls. I have been lucky twice by dropping in and buying hard cases by Griffin and Agent 18 for $10 or less. The same cases retail for much more at AT&T, Best Buy, and the high as hell Apple Store. I'm in Atlanta so I can't speak for other areas.. Worth a try tho... Just yesterday I found a White Griffin Nu Hard case for $7. Accessories are a major rip off anyway...

I'm super late to this, but I've used IS, BSE and Bodyguardz, and for me, Bodyguardz wins.  The least amount of Orange peel and yellowness.  It comes with 2 per order, and lifetime replacements.

I also have 5+ different cases.  It became an obsession for a while.  Off the top of my head I've used the leather backed griffin, the incase slider, the wave, the otterbox, the switcheasy rebel and neo, the flick, and an iclear like case.  Know what I'm using now?  NOTHING.

Theyre all sitting in an f-ing tupperware with all the screen protectors they come with just collecting dust.

Do yourself a favor and buy some damn insurance from squaretrade and dont worry about scratching your phone.  Seriously.  It's a phone.

Check out itsmemorphious on youtube.  He does case reviews.
