Quite liked the idea of the Zagg Invisible Shield off Ebay but after reading the reviews on Amazon it seems very tricky to fit well.

What other cases would you lot suggest - dont want anything chunky.

If you can get into an Apple store and try some on, they usually have a bucket full of them. I have a silicon case that leaves pretty much the whole face free, don't buy cheap, they don't last.

Griffin Elan Form, 20 quid from apple shop, looks good, great protection!

Ivyskin Quattro T4 is what I have....

I got it from the States, it covers a full front and back of the iphone 3g and has a glass screen so you dont scratch your phone's screen.. its touch sensitive so the signal goes through the glass and operates your phone as usual...

InvisibleSHIELD isn't that difficult to fit and works very well... I'd recommend it - especially as it has a lifetime warranty.

Definately get the InvisibleShield mate, I bought an I-Phone last weekend and bought the InvisibleShield from Carphone Warehouse.

It's not that difficult to fit to be honest, but if you remember when it's on it looks like a bare I-Phone with no case then you can expect it's not as simple as sliding it on, it takes a little care and patience, mine took around 20 minutes to fit.

Also have the Zagg shield.

I tried a case, but it means you miss out on one of the iPhones best features, it's slim size and ease of use when you need it quickly.

Invisible shield isn't perfect, mine fit OK but the main screen has 4 manufacturing faults in the guise of 4 lines that go across the screen - they annoyed me at first but I just ignore them now. This is well documented on Google, but apprently Zagg just reckon it's a user fitment fault!!

Some of the shield is lifting around the back as well.

But all of these niggles are overshadowed by being able to just chuck the phone in your pocket and not worry about scratches, the rear cover also makes the phone easier to handle as its quite grippy. I accidentally threw my keys across the phone the other day and there wasn't a mark!!

It's worth trying it first for £13 of eBay or whatever they are.

The thing that worries me about the Zagg shield is protection on the sides as Im assuming the film doesnt cover the entire phone. And even with it if you dropped your phone say onto tarmac I doubt the zagg would offer much against dents & cracks?

I have the iskin Revo2 and I like it.Comes with anti-glare/fingerprint protective screen film plus a hard screen cover to protect against screen impact.

Had it about three months and its showing no sign of splitting,and I remove it from the case alot.

They aren't all like that I don't think, just some of them. It annoyed me at first but doesn't bother me now although I may buy a new one soon as they are cheap enough.

It does cover the whole phone, the rear skin goes around the sides of the phone and wraps around nicely - it also makes the phone really grippy so no worries about dropping them.

The iPhone is such a sleek thing, it's a shame to ruin them by adding a big bulky case.
