Cute But Functional iPhone Cases
What kind of case do you have for your iPhone?
Please post a link and/or photo if possible.
Re: Cute But Functional iPhone Cases
I don't know if I'd call it "cute" but more sleek... not distracting.

Mine too. But after dropping it last week (it's fine) I will be getting:
Or one of thee: http://goincase.com/iphone/slidercase/
FWIW, this is what I currently have:

I'm sure this surprises no one.
I'd like to get this one, too:

Again, no surprise.
Are those customized, or is the Monkey a logo for something I'm not recognizing (besides you, of course). :-)
Love those, weemz!
I'm partial to the hard cases. I'm a clutz and the silicone cases wouldn't do squat for me.
I use this one:
And put the whole thing inside this one, for extra protection for storing
:
....aaaaand, now I'm drooling over this one.
I'm starting to get that way (I see soft Hurley cases that make me want to switch to find out). I have no experience to justify that hard cases are in any way tougher, though.
I have the Power Support Air Jacket in Clear:

I love it because it looks as though my white iphone is naked, but it is still protected from drops and scratches.

This is why I like the incase ones. The bottom slides off so it's easy to doc and they are hardshell with kind of a rubbery/grippy finish.
But I'm really not sure. I dropped mine last week (hard, on the sidewalk) and it's just fine (I am however, super paranoid now).
I just bought one this weekend at at&t.
The brand is speck and it's cute.
Mine is pink and purple and its plastic all over except on the corners and around the front edge of the phone which are rubber. In case you drop it, it lands on the rubber parts and it won't hurt the phone.
I have this one:
Everybody in my family has an iPhone, and they've all got hard cases. I prefer my silicone case. Theirs all seem to have a bunch of crap collected between the phone & the case, and that doesn't happen with mine. I've also dropped mine plenty of times, and I like to think the silicone offers more bounce protection than the hard plastic cases.
This is what I believe as well, and what I was told by the Apple store employee who helped me pick a case.
Mine is boring old white silicon.
-->EvansBrideToBe, I love your siggy on dogs, may I steal it?
Sure! I got it from a bumpersticker.
Ohhh, I see that now. Thanks!
DH bought the iskin Revo2 for both of us after he had moisture issues with his phone. This silicone cover has plugs that fit into the audio and charging ports when they are not in use. His iphone was acting funny (turning off/dimming) after he had it in his sweaty pocket while working out (don't ask me why -uggg). It was ok after spending time in a bag with kitty litter to dry it out. IMO it is ugly and I miss my old green cover but I am a klutz and worried about getting it wet now.
I have this one. It looks rather BMX road racerish, but it offers super protection (an exoskeleton snaps over a silicon shell). I'm all about function over form. It comes in a whole variety of colors... so if you're more adventurous that I am, you can get something other than basic black.
Capsule Rebel
I use mine nekkid, but keep it in a sleeve pouch. I have this nice leather case from Sena:
I have this, in gray, and really like it.
