Default What is the best case?

I've heard so many complaints about cases, and few compliments. So, who here has found a case that they love? I'm still naked and would like to buy a case soon, but I just don't know which one to buy...
Thanks.

Well its all subjective to what you personally like. Ive always liked the hard, clear plastic cases for my ipod. I got this from the Apple store yesterday

The clip/holster is pretty worthless, but I really like the case.

I just received a new case and clip from Contour Design. The case is hard with leather like sides that snaps on the iphone. The holster has a good tight clip for the belt or pocket. I had bought their old one (Clear hard case) from Apple Store, but complained to the manufacture. Yesterday I received a new one by FedEx and I can say that it looks like a very good one.
I can put it on my belt now without it falling out, like the old one did.

I am on my 4th case, as it took me quite a while and some trial & error to find what I like best. I really love the Top SP from vaja.

The countour cases are what I always used with my ipods. They had the iSee at the apple store, but I liked the looks of the one I got a bit more (not that they were that much different) Basically the same thing though.

I have the InvisibleShield on my iPhone. It is a devil to get it on but looks very cool (or rather it is basically invisible and allows the iPhone to look cool).
It protects the device well from scratches and scuffs but I was never completely confident with it, so I added the Incase rubber holder too.
This one protects everywhere but the screen (but that's what I got the Shield for really). However the edge of the case is slightly proud of the screen so on a flat surface the screen never touches.
The Incase comes on and off in a second if required, and the iPhone can stil dock (just) with the shield on.

Not tested yet but I feel the substantial rubber will protect somewhat in the event of a fall. ( )

I'm happy with this combination.

I got a 360covers.com case. It's low profile, they have cool designs, plus you can get any design you want on your case. It protects the phone well. Its inexpensive too.

I got the Marware Sport Grip and have been very happy with it. It protects the entire iPhone (with the included screen protector) and barely increases the overall size of the device. Also give it a great feel that makes it less prone to being dropped.

I've had it on my phone for two weeks now and I don't see any scratches on the device (including the chrome bezel). The only downside I've found is it tends to be a dust magnet, but I can live with that.
