Im in need of a decent case for my iPhone, I've already had the invisibleshield front and back case.

I found it terrible! the edges collected dirt and lifted off, and the front made the screen look like it had vertical lines running up it, so I've binned that.

So before I make the mistake of ordering another lemon, I'd like the PH consensus on pretecting my lovely shiny phone.

Ideally I'd like a leather case, something I don't need to take in and out all day to use it. Don't really want to spend more than say.. £40.

Over to you smile

P.S. feel free to move into the computers and stuff section, but this is not really related to tech help....

I don't see why one would be needed, it lives in my pocket unprotected and has been fine so far.

My 80gb classic lives in a "eco-nique" case, which is lovely soft napa leather at a reasonable price. They have a 3G case out now, assuming you can get past all the climate/carbon/greeness:

I have had several of their products and they are superbly made. Not a stitch has come loose. My wallet has lasted for about 5 years, and is still in perfect condition.

Good shout, I like the Vaja classic, very stylish!

Now where can I find one in this country?!

You can't. Just order online, they only take a few days to arrive.

The quality is outstanding.

Just order off the website? They're custom made so you're not likely to find one in a shop.

Ordering now.

Torrone and pastil colour, or cream stripe and brown in the vitelino leather, very nice!

PH posh cases matter smile

I had a horrible feeling they were going to be a "you know you've got too much money when" product but some are pretty good prices and look great. May give them a go.

I have one of the rubber cases off ebay for a couple of quid. Bit of shock resistance too and with a screensaver the thing is nearly waterproof, as tested by a 3 year old with a watering can.

My bro bought me a leather case for your belt from the Mac shop, you have to a) keep it on your belt b) pull the damn thing out. I will stick to my rubber johnny.
