Best iPhone 3G Cases

There are quite a few types of the best iPhone 3G cases. They're "the best" for different reasons, of course, and what is best for you may not be the best for someone else. A girl who keeps her phone in her purse may not need the roughest, toughest case, for example. She may prefer a bright case that will keep her screen protected and look pretty. A guy who likes to keep his pockets relatively empty may enjoy the wallet/case combo. The "best" is relative, but there are a few out there that really get the job done.

What is most important to you when it comes to housing your iPhone 3G? Do you need something tough? Something eye catching? Something that does double-duty as something else while it protects your phone? The best case is dependent upon your needs and your lifestyle, but some just stand out in the crowd because they're bright, they're strong, or they're multi-functional.

The Black Carbon Fiber Leather Case: This is heavy-duty leather and an impact resistant case in one. Check this one out if you're looking for something sporty and sleek without screaming, "Look at my iPhone!" At $49.99, it's not the least expensive but it's not the most expensive either.

Sportsuit Convertible: This is one of the best iPhone 3G cases because it's not just one type of case. It's an armband, a clip-on, and a protective sleeve. When you want to be hands-free but keep your phone handy and don't have a convenient place to clip it, wear it on your arm. If you prefer the convenience of a clip-on cell case, you can have that too. If you're the kind of person who keeps your phone in a bag, you might just want to protect the screen. This case does that. The cost is about $34.99.

The Senacase: It's a case. No, it's a wallet. Oh wait, it's both! This is a little on the pricey side at $52.00, but if you're big on traveling light, this is the way to go. It holds your phone, of course, but it also holds your credit cards (four of them) and your driver's license. There are openings for the microphone, speaker, and charging cord.

PixelSkin: This is a case to consider when you do want to draw attention to your phone. It comes in seven colors: black and six bright ones. It won't protect your screen alone (though it will protect you from dropping it too easily due to the soft textured material), but works well with screen protectors that you can purchase separately. This one is $24.95.

The Naked Case and Holster Combo: Want a case that barely even shows up but allows you to keep your phone firmly attached to your clothing? This one has a swivel clip that allows you to spin the phone around 360 degrees and it barely even changes the look of your iPhone. The clip portion also serves as a stand for your phone. The combination is $44.99.

The Dockster: Here is a two-piece case that you'll barely even know is there as far as looks are concerned. It's very low-key but offers protection for your phone thanks to impact resistant plastic. When you want to hook your iPhone up to the docking station, you simply slide the bottom back off. It glides right back on when you're done.

The SwitchEasy Capsule Rebel is $24.99 and comes in enough colors to suit everyone from the girly-girl to the serious businessman. It absorbs shock if you drop it, protecting your phone from breaking if you drop it. It also comes with two screen guards.

Choose one of the cases listed above based on the amount of protection you think your phone needs to protect it from the lifestyle you lead. The best iPhone 3G cases for you won't be the best cases for everyone, but those listed above are some of the top cases on the market.
