I've got an iPhone 3GS coming via FedEx tomorrow or Friday and I need a good case for it. I've been an iPod Touch user for some time and I've always liked the combination of an anti-glare screen protector and a rubber case. I have the Incase rubber sleeve for my and it seems to work well.
 
I don't want anything too bulky but I do want the case to offer some decent protection. I'd prefer something that didn't include a screen protector so I can replace those independently as time goes on without replacing the entire case. Any recommendations?  

I bought my sister one of these for her Touch for her birthday. They look great and apparently they work well, although I don't think they're designed as shock absorbers so that's probably a knock against them. They do offer iPhone skins though.

I just have a basic floppy rubber case. Works well enough.

Cost 9 bucks for the case...and it's light as hell.  People assume I have a silver iPhone when they see it...and it protects against even the wrath of xbots. "

Anyway I've been looking around and reading reviews and I found this SwitchEasy Rebel case that looks pretty good and even includes two screen protectors. Anyone have any experience with this case?

" Great...I just ordered the black silicon one. Hah. Oh well, I hear that this company also has customer service that is second to none, so I'm not worried. I'll post up a review once I get the phone and the case. "

Wow... Why even spend the money on an iPhone if you're going to wrap it in some shitty mishmash of plastic, rubber or both.  If you need a case for your iPhone, go with Incase. I, myself prefer the Slider when the need presents itself. If these cases don't fit your budget, then it's unlikely you even have an iPhone.

Why do exactly the same thing by putting an $800 phone in your pocket naked and letting it get scatched to bits?  I have a leather dealy that makes it look a little like a wallet. Sure I need to take it out if I want to play some of the games, but that suits me fine, the plastic cases I saw were too bulky (which was fine for my ipod, but not the phone. My 160gb Classic is 18 months old and looks brand spankin new thanks to the awesome plastic case I have it in) and I just hate the feeling of all those rubber/latex cases, for me the feel of that materials is like the sound of nails on a chalkboard, so yeah I couldnt get one of those. "

So I've been using the SwitchEasy Rebel for a full day now and I love it. I purchased an Incase Slider from Best Buy to use while I was waiting for the Rebel to arrive in the mail, and it was alright, but I feel like the Rebel offers better protection. It's just a bit bulkier but once you get the silicon base on and then snap on the "spine", it makes the iPhone feel like a tank. To round out the package, SwitchEasy includes two screen protectors, a squeegee, a microfiber cloth, a dock adapter, and a stand...all for $10 less than the Slider costs. One thing I really love about the Rebel is that it actually makes the iPhone's volume buttons much easier to access and use. The volume up button is raised slightly higher than the down button so it's easy to tell where your thumb is.
 
Great package all around, highly recommended. Here are some pics from iLounge that reviewed this case awhile back.
 

 

 

You really don't need a case, the iPhone is exceptionally durable.
Mine's spent a year being bashed around in my pocket and it's not developed a single scratch - cases just make it unnecessarily bulky.

Yes, I've heard they are quite scratch-resistant. But a case could help with shock absorbing and grip.

I bought a Dsstyles's Iphone case and it is well design and durable.
