started out with incase - about the only one in stock when i picked  
up my phone on the first day.  left the screen completely exposed.   
just ordered a case-mate "Signature Line Leather Case/Holster Combo."

i'm not impressed.  the phone will be much more secure, but it would  
take houdini to get the thing into answering position before the  
other party hangs up should a call come through.

also recently acquired a 160gb ipod classic.  swallowed hard and  
ordered apple's own case for that - $100.
about enough top grade fine supple leather to make a thong for a  
barbie doll.
but....  i'm completely satisfied with its quality and design.  if  
apple sold an iPhone case of equal quality for $150,  i'd probably go  
for it.  but design is a problem for this thing.  screen really does  
need protecting without compromising access. (the case-mate comes  
with a plastic screen guard thing that you're supposed to be able to  
apply without air bubbles - impossible.  i tossed it after a couple  
of tries.)
