The contour Flick is the one for me, i love the way I can simply flip the bottom bit up and it still fits in my dock...

I think Griffin make a similar one, but the Apple Store near me doesnt sell them!

Thanks Flipper, I checked the Zagg site to see if they have a kiosk near me and unfortunately the closest one is about 45 minutes away. They sell them on ebay so I'll more than likely by one there and install it myself.

Thanks again

Tug, you should also check out the Bodyguardz shield. I've tried both Invisible Shield and Bodyguardz and found the Bodyguardz to be a lot better. A lot of people don't like the "orange peel" effect that the Invisible shield gives.

But they both do exactly the same thing.

Just thought I'd post up and give my opinions of the Speck and iSkin cases since I own them both.

I like the feel of the Speck IMO it gives the phone some substance.... something to hang onto if you will. What I didnt like about it was the holster, the clips on the side that keep the case/phone from falling out stick out to far and often get caught on an object if your walking to close. Theres been times when where I'd scrape the inside of my wrist on the clips if I wasnt careful. All in all its a good case but the holster design leaves alot to be desired for.

The Revo2 again IMO is a good case but because the Iphone is a touch screen the clear plastic face plate that comes with the case wasnt needed. Another issue I had with the Revo2 was it was difficult to pull the phone out from the holster. There were times when I'd be driving, the phone would ring and I'd have to pull over to get the phone out of the holster just to answer the call. Now the first thing I do before I get behind the wheel is pull the phone out of the holster and Im good to go.

If I were to do this all over again I'd more than likely go with the Revo2 but beings I have them both Im sure I'll switch from time to time.

I love my new speck tire tread case (that's what I call it) however the belt clip housing lasted exactly 1 week and the clip broke when I sat down in the car. It was a very low impact type move and it snapped like a twig.

Originally I purchased it for the belt clip feature and also to protect the phone. I found that I can do without the belt clip and really like how the case looks and feels.

I found a car mount that works perfectly with this case that is made by Pro Clip

Their mounting system is 2 fold. First you select the mount for your specific car, and then you pick the holder for your specific phone. I purchased the following items for my 2004 Explorer and it is the best mount I have ever had for a car. The thing I like about it is that if you change cars but have the same phone you just purchase the correct mount for the car, and use the same holder for your phone as they all couple together the same way.

Heres the links:

Mount for my 2004 Explorer (look up your vehicle if you wish)

Their stuff is a little pricey but worth every dollar. The mount is rock solid and is made specifically for the phone and your car.

Thanks for the tip. I may look into the local radio Shack/Office Depot stores in my area first though.

This is for mobile GPS but it may work for the iPhone with my "tire tread" case:

Thats pretty nice but I'd like to purchase something that plugs into the lighter and charges the phone. Does anyone make a mount similar to the what I just described?

I found the radioshack model GPS 715 windshield mount fine for the tire tread case and probably any case for the iPhone 3G, you get the vent as well as the windshield mount for $29.99
