So I'm guessing you don't have any experience with any of them.

Get the refurbished, they come in "Like New" and if it breaks you get it replaced with a new one so its a win win there. there is a thread create on the main board so look it up is for premier accounts with refurbished iphones.

for the price of the iVyskin there are so many way better cases, i personally dont like any of them ivyskins because in my opinion other case provide better protection for half the price, i had such a bad experience with their CS i swore i would NEVER go back to them,, not even if they contacted me to review their products, NOPE, i rather go with Case-Mate or any other Manufacturer like SwitchEasy.

Ok, thanks for your input. I guess I will order the Case-mate then. Just out of curiosity which case do you have? So do the refurb iphones get shipped or do you pick them up in store also.

I've got about 10 different cases.

Refurbs get shipped to you, you can't pick them at the store because the stores dont carry refurbs even if they are ordered thru them, so you have to order thru premier.

Also how many cases i have??? check my board for accesories, i have reviewed almost every case I've owned for the 3G. that board has over 33K views and reviews from everyone not just me starting with switcheasy, casemate, ivyskin and more. THIS is the link

Got the Case Mate Naked Case yesterday at Wal-Mart yesterday for $24.98. Put it on when I got home --- very easy, I didn't have problems lining the two pieces up at all.

Some sort of air, oil-looking bubble-thing comes up in between the phone face and screen protection occasionally after you wipe the front of the case. You have to take the phone out and put it back in, and it goes away. I don't know how often this is going to happen, but it may be a major issue for me. Also, the opening for the buttons are deeper than I thought they would be.

We'll see how it goes, but the air, oil bubble thing may make this a problem. I thought the Wal-Mart price was pretty good compared to the online pricing I've seen, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

How bulky does it make it? Also how is the fit in terms of covering up the chrome evenly?

I had one of the beautifully handcrafted leather pouches from http://ikonicedge.com/ in New Zealand. Now they've released the same slim leather pouch with a compact card slot for your money cards etc without adding bulk.
If you're after a genuine handmade iphone cover I highly recommend these and the card holder now does away with my wallet.

I have the Innocase II Suface Combo in all colors from Seidioonline.com. Very slim and the clip holds very well. I also have a few cases from Kroo which is on HandHelditems .com

Griffin Elan Form Update:

Ive had this black leather Griffin Elan form case for a few months now, and the glue which holds the leather to the plastic shell melts in your pocket and the leather is peeling off. I no longer recommend.

I can already see that happening on the ELAN Form Chrome case I picked up last week. I'll be talking about it in my review.

Agree, from the front, it looks like I have a custom finished iPhone, not something with a case.

I got my i phone a week ago and i have two cases. First on is the Griffin FlexiGrip case and the Agent 18 slim clear shield case. I liked the flexigrip case it was nice and secure but like all silicone cases it attracts dust and particles like a magnet. I hated that also, it kinda made the phone feel bulky. Today i got the agent 18 slim case and i gotta say i love it! It makes the phone feel slim and look good! The case does get nicks easy but, still looks good. Phone is solid in the case and it comes with a high quality screen protector. So far the agent 18 case is my favorite and i will report back in a month to tell you how it's holding up and if it affected the phone in anyway.
