Need to switch cases... (advice please)

[DropGems]

Okay, I'm using the moshi Iglaze at the moment. I love it, looks wise and feel wise. But for protection it's just not gonna fly. I've already scratched up the chrome bezel since it doesn't protect the front at all really.

My requirements are:

Minimalist case that adds relatively no bulk
I want the case to show off the natural beauty of phone and not cover it up.
A material that doesn't scratch (like those hard plastic cases).
Full minimalist protection.

Basically I want the moshi Iglaze but w/ protection over the chrome bezel. Does such a case exist? Another option I was thinking was, keep the iglaze and throw the invisible shield on. The invishield will cover the chrome bezel, right?

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

The moshi will not fit with an Invisible shield on the phone. If you're just looking for scratch protection, I'd use just a full coverage Invisible shield, Body Guardz, etc....

Check out the Speck CandyShell. I have both the Moshi iGlaze 3G and the Speck CandyShell. I flip flop between the cases. If I'm at home or somewhere where there is carpet, etc. I will throw the Moshi on. If I'm going out for the night or something, I'll put the CandyShell on for more protection. It doesn't scratch anything because it has a hard exterior with a soft interior and it does cover the bezel.

Yea but does the speck candy case get scratched up since it's all like shiny plastic. That's one thing I liked about the moshi, that it didn't get fingerprinters or scratch. Moshi would be perfect if it had like acrylic over the bezel.

I have the original White/Cranberry colored one. So, to answer your question, yes, it does get scratched; however, you can barely see them because it's white. I can't speak for any of the other colors.

I have the white/cranberry, white/grey, & purple. They do get scratched but on the white ones it's less noticeable than the purple one. I really didn't notice the scratches till I was out in the sun, but it wasn't that bad. I would call them swirl marks more than scratches.

Sounds like what you're looking for is the Incipio feather.

DropGems, I may have something very similar to what you want. I currently have the Moshi iGlaze, but just ordered a case from CaseCrown (http://www.casecrown.com/iphone/polycarbonate-slim). It is nearly identical to the iGlaze, but covers most of the bezel like you are wanting.
