I’m not a clumsy person, but from time to time I would drop my shiny gadgets, that includes my new iPhone 3G. While cases probably won’t do much to protect the phone when dropping it into a pool, but at least it will give a little resistance to scratches.

Belkin Slim-Fit is on the top of the list. It has slim profile design and features shock-absorbent padding (which is good if I dropped it on the hard concrete). It’s top aligned with the iPhone speaker, so if you are in a noisy place, your iPhone 3G’s ring will be quite loud compared to those cases with closed top (covering the iPhone speaker).

Marware is no stranger to iPhone cases, and they make very well designed. Their C.E.O Premiere for iPhone 3G cases is my second choice but still worth the consideration; it comes with free screen protector and microfiber cleaning cloth. The leather-constructed case allows access to headphone port and easy phone removal due to its bottom notch.

Marware C.E.O Flip Vue reminds me of my old Compaq Aero PDA’s case. It flips open and allows you to use the iPhone 3G screen without pulling the iPhone off the case. Pretty convenient and its rotatable clip is a nice touch. The perforated leather and contrast stitching really makes this case look extremely attractive. I do wish the clip would be a little smaller and thinner.

Incipio alphaPouch Lycra Slim is my last option. I like simplicity and this case offers it. It is also slim like the Belkin Slim-Fit and Griffin Elan Holster, and cost the least (only $14.95). It might protect your phone from scractes, but I’m not sure it’s padded enough to give dropped protection.

Well, those are my top pick for iPhone 3G cases. If you have any other suggestions, please do post it on the comment section below this entry. For wide selection of iPhone 3G cases and accessories, visit our store.
