I bit the bullet on Friday and traded to an iPhone, after all the iTunes bullshit (i’m seriously over it!) the phone has been fantastic, no problems so far and it just WORKS.  The phone just working is a big thing coming from Windows Mobile where sometimes things just dont work for some stupid reason or another, so it’s really nice to just pick it up, press a button and BAM! the screeen is on straight away and everything responds as soon as you touch it, Windows Mobile device manufacturers have alot to learn from this.

Anyway onto cases, finding a case in Perth seems hard at the moment.  Wait that’s not right, finding a GOOD case is hard, it’s all poorly made ill-fitting shit or poorly thought out designs and that’s if you manage to find it.  A good case protects the phone while you use it, take it from a guy who drops stuff you rarely drop it from your pocket or belt (it happens sometimes), you’re mostly dropping it when you’re using it, this makes setups that force you to remove the device from the case to use it properly totally out of the question.  If all you want is pocket protection and don’t think you’ll drop it, get a sleeve Vaja Cases make a great sleeve for the iPhone 3G as do Incipio from what i can see these both well put together, but hey a sleeves just a sleeve so who cares, i just like the look of these.

When it comes to real protection, always have a good screen protector, funnilly enough my jasjasm didn’t have a scratch on it’s screen until my screen protector got all messed up and removed, then came the scratches, so always use a screen protector.

I found a few cases i’ve deemed worth, i’m really liking all the cases made by Vaja Cases but i just cant wait that long to protect my new device, so they’re out of the question.  Once again, Incipio have a nice well formed protective case that once combined with a screen protector, should be able to keep the entire device protected in a number of bad situation, the Hard Molded Framed Case for iPhone 3G.  I’m either getting the case from Incipio or this case from DLO, the DLO SlimCase for iPhone, however the DLO website doesnt show that it’s compatible with the iPhone 3G, so i may have to give that a miss.
