My wife and I have tried quite a few different cases since getting our
iPhone 3G's almost a year ago.
Originally I had a blue DLO BlueJam silicone case that was great at
stopping the phone falling out of a loose pocket and stopped it
slipping off an inclined surface like a lecture theatre lectern, but
it was a magnet for dirt, dust and fluff and was a real pain to pull
out of a tight jeans pocket.
I then got a yellow and black hybrid hard/soft exoskeleton-like case
called the SwitchEasy Capsule Rebel Tiger

This case was extremely good looking, but unfortunately proved too
slippery my needs - thankfully a friend bought it off me.
I then happened to find an absolutely excellent little phone case shop
at the Freo markets that had stacks of iPhone cases I hadn't seen
before including the one that I ended up buying - a transparent vinyl-
like case that is not too slippery and not too grippy - just right.
Great prices too - $15-$20. :-)
ps. Sorry to hear the problems you've had Peter. Our iPhones have
been extremely reliable and durable.

Macworx currently have all iphone/pod cases for 30%off.
I grabbed a casemate for $24 and can't be happier.

I have had 3 so far and 2 were b####y useless really.
The first was leather, opened like a book. Could not hold phone and
use it while thing was flipped open. It needed to be bent right
around behind the phone to be able to grip the phone safely. Also
would not allow easy access to characters near the edge of the
screen.
The second I have not yet used because my iPhone has been replaced
twice due to faults. It is a skin and I have been reluctant to
adhere it to the phone until I am sure I am keeping that phone. It
is an Invisible Shield by ZAGG. I will sit down soon and install it.
The third one I bought about a week ago. It had a clear hard
plastic case that looked great. Problem was it took about 6 stabs
at each letter on the keyboard to type an SMS. And the characters
in the top right corner such as "new message" or the + for adding
stuff would not work at all through the clear front cover. Needless
to say that went back and I have a refund.
My confidence in these things has been destroyed.
