Wink What cell phone cases you guys using for your iphones??

Just curious. After snagging a ipad, liking it alot I decided to pick up a iphone a few weeks back. I just ordered a griffin elan slim hard case for it since I do not carry it on my belt/clip and keep it in my pocket.. Just curious what you guys use. The otter box is bad *** but is the size of a truck.. Anybody have that particular griffin case, if you do how you like it..

i use a Incipio two layer case, (hard shell and soft gel) but still very slim for your pocket..

-picked it up at wal-mart for about $20

I just got a real phone that can handle being dropped and not shatter into a million pieces. Until Apple stops making those things out of glass I won't buy one. Makes no damn sense why they do that.

Otter box makes a few different styles that aren't so bulky.

I got the otterbox commuter series and it's been great. It didn't make the phone much bigger at all, and it fits in my pocket easily.

Otter box defender here no complaints but is a little big. Can't beat the durability tho.

Otterbox is best, I tried the best competitor for my EVO and it blew ***. Will go back with an otterbox for sure.
