I don't have any case nor an iPhone, I have a droid. My brother gets tons from Amazon for cheap.

I have no case on my iPhone 4 since the free one from Apple broke. I will get a new one when the 5 comes out.

I have this one (http://store.griffintechnology.com/iphone/iphone-4/outfit-ice-series-2)and I really like it. It was relatively inexpensive and it gets the job done. I've dropped my phone several times and not had any damage.

I like the Leica touch in the logo. But I wouldn't use it. The iphone is attractive to me because it low profile. That thing makes it not "pocketable."

And I wouldn't go for the Otterbox things. They change the elegant design into a piece of brick.

FWIW, the one I had was made by Griffin and it lasted almost 2 years.

It's called equipment and you can buy those, you know.

My bad, but knowing Chris, he's familiar w/ those things.

Found the perfect one for YOU!!!!

WTF? A flip case? Looks stupid.

I thought you iPhone users upgraded every couple of months. Why bother with cases?

That's got a nice Palm Pilot sort of a vibe to it.

Otterbox Defender case here. Yes, it does add some size to the phone, but so far (and knock on wood) my iPhone 4 has survived some pretty rough and tumble areas, without a scratch due to that case.

Fess up, this one of those which is better; panniers, backpack or seat bag questions. Maybe you should consider a trailer?

I like the Otterbox. The new one doesn't increase the footprint of the phone by much, and it's water resistant, so I don't worry about using it for my GPS when I'm riding. There was a better one (Life-source, Life science...something like that) that looked more rugged and water resistant, but 1) it was twice as pricey (~$70), and 2) was a bit bulkier.

We have a winner. This is the highest rated case in the Apple store.

You need to design one that has Couch's face on it.

I have this one -->http://www.lifeproof.com/iphone/
It's too expensive for what it is but it is waterproof and I'm in a canoe/river/lake/beach enough that I want that level of protection. Also it is my only current underwater capable camera.

I use a flip case, nothing else protects the screen as well.

Flip cover. Otherwise, you'll be fine with a TPU skin cover.

I've used an Otterbox for a year, rain included. Don't kid yourself....it's not water resistant. I've had to take out the phone, dry the case. Good fall protection though.

the suggestion was to consider a trailer in lieu of the others, and yes, I see a trailer. Look by the womans right knee. the knee is below her right breast.

I posted that for AllenG because I would have no idea how to do it.

$59.99 is not bad. A waterproof case is more than that
