Protective Case for 3Gs

Hi all,
Now that I have the new iphone 32G and like to protect it, what cases would people recommend? Real protection from dropping. I've seen some that doubles as a extra battery,etc.
Also, for obvious reasons, it's probably going to be impossible for me to visit a local shop that would carry such accessories like AT&T and Apple. Is there another retail shop that I can actually go to that I could go to? I live in 20120 zip code, that's Centreville, VA, a suburb of our Nation's capitol. Thanks.
p.s. Since I'm of the male persuasion, how does one carry their iphones besides the belt clip style? Are there cases that can strap arond the neck? Do you think this is a bad idea? Can't really put it in my pocket. What have people done?

Over this last school year, this chick I know and had class with went through 3 iPhones. She kept breaking them (and her dad is filthy rich). But anyway she never used a protector until the 3rd one, LOL. She would keep dropping them and told me the screen breaks really easily. Depends on how it lands.
My salesman at AT&T really warned me about them too because there is no raised surface to protect the screen, so if the screen lands on ANY rock or bump.. it can break. So I got the iFrogz case.. they're nice and come with a thin screen film protector. They also slide onto the iPhone from 2 pieces, together. They are raised above the screen ~1mm so that it protects your screen where it wasn't protected before. $30.

  • Protective case for ipod touch

    Im interested in learning about protective cases for the 8gb touch. Im especially interested in a hard, clear case. Any suggestions?

    I have a protective screen thing, too, which is great. No bubbles, and if you're careful when you put it on, no dust. I can't even tell it's there.
    BUT, while that adequately protects from scratches, I don't feel it does anything in the way of protecting the thing if it's dropped, and it certainly wouldn't protect the screen if it got banged against something in my purse. Those are my concerns. So, I have it in a clear, hard, plastic case. DLO, got it from Best Buy. Like the one mentioned above, but I don't have a pop-out stand - instead it has little rubber grippy things on the back so that it doesn't slide around if I lay it down. In addition to that, I put it in another, cloth, case that protects it somewhat from being hit by the sharp edge of something and has a strap I can put around my wrist). Even that isn't what I really want - what I want to get is something that puts a hard cover right in front of the screen, to keep it from being cracked.
    And for the person who mentioned a couple of days ago that s/he doesn't put it in a case because it's not a precious jewel - having a case has saved me at least twice when I've dropped my iPod onto the asphalt next to my car. Just makes me feel better. I don't need my iPod to look perfect for always, but I would like it to continue to function, and I'm the first to admit that my purse isn't the safest place for fragile things

  • Protective case for G2

    Looking for a good protective case for the G2. What do you have and like?

    Slightly different opinion than Snn5, no disrespect intended.
    TUDIA Ultra-Slim Melody Series TPU case.
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FAY38QY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    Very low profile. Adds just the right amount of grip, without being bulky. Probably would not protect the phone much from a drop, but this will prevent it leaving your hands.

  • What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s?

    What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s? If I drop my phone I don't want it to crack or break. How protective is the Gorrila Glass?

    I am using the Otterbox Defender, and it's a great case.
    Gorilla glass is a glass applied to phones (not the iPhone, it does not use Corning branded glass), but the iPhone screen is pretty good against scratches.

  • What is the best protective case for 2011 13" Macbook Pro

    What is the best protective case for 2011 13" Macbook Pro (that can withstand an active 4 year old :).   My 4 year old plays with the teaching apps on my iPhone 4 in the otterbox case and its great - the bulkiness of the otterbox not an issue and I love being able to give the phone to him and feel completely comforatable. I would love to find something to protect my Macbook Pror. Thanks for any help!! 

    I would definitely go for a Hardsheel or a Perforated Hardshell Case

  • Protective cases for iPhones

    Two protective cases for iPhones are 1) Lifeproof and 2) Otterbox Defender series. Does anyone have acquaintance with both these cases? If so, is one better than the other? Or is there some other case that is better than either of those? Thank you for the assessment and suggestions.

    The iPhone 5 Otterbox Defender case is very nice and is a big improvement over their 4/4S case. The new one is much slimmer and better feeling in the hand, though it's still a BIG CASE.
    The Lifeproof case isn't quite as physically rugged as the Otterbox, but it is water resistant where the Otterbox isn't.  The Lifeproof case can be used in the shower or even swimming if you keep it above six feet of water. There are some reports that individual Lifeproof cases can muffle sound quality fairly badly (while others don't), but the Otterbox doesn't have those issues as it leaves the speaker ports relatively unobstructed. The Lifeproof case is also much slimmer than the Otterbox while providing a large degree of protection.
    Griffin's Survivor series cases are generally as rugged as either of the above, but I don't recall it being waterproof.
    There are a number of other cases with a high impact resistance rating out there, but I'd probably stick with one of those three mentioned above, myself.

  • Protective Cases for ACD HD 23" While Traveling

    Hello Guys
    I will soon be purchasing the 23inch ACD. I was wondering where I could locate a good protective case for my 23inch display while I travel. I went to a local apple store and they recommended that I could either ship it or buy a case from a music store, the type that they use for drums and other music equiment.
    I also came across http://www.pelican.com/
    What do you guys recommend? I'll be changing dorms over the summer and then once I am done during the middle of summer I will be flying back home. Should I ship it with a certain shipping company or should I get a case for it?
    iBook G4 14 1.2 GHz processor   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    This is a good idea, I took my monitor from the US to Indonesia and put it in the original box. It arrived in a very good condition. No damage whatsoever. Been using it for over 6 months and it's fine.

  • Can Anyone Recommend A Good Protective Case for an 80G ipod?

    Can anyone recommend a good protective case for an 80G ipod?

    The Griffin Survivor is a military-grade case that I use. It's $40 and I purchased it at Best Buy. It has a rubber piece that covers the charging port, but can be easily removed for charging while still in the case. The only downside of the case is because of the added girth, it makes the iPod unusable with iHomes or other docks unless you take it out of the case.

  • Best case for 3GS that wont scratch the phone (metal lining)

    I've had the silicon cases before and they would always cause scratches on the metal part of the phone which was always annoying (most likely due to debris rubbing against it when the silicon case moved around). I was looking at the Incase Slider and it seemed that this would be a good case. Anyone have any issues with this case or can recommend a good case for it?

    Just finished applying the Zagg Invisible Shield to my new iPhone 3GS and it's fantastic! Elegant and durable while retaining the sexy form factor of the phone itself.
    It has been mentioned that it looks overwhelming to apply. I can't stress enough watching the videos on the site a few times to 'run through the motions.' It's imperative that you are in a dust free environment, work with a lint-free cloth, clean your hands really well and keep your fingertips and the adhesive film wet at all times.
    What it lacks in speed of application, it more than makes up for in protection with no added bulk.
    Just my two cents.

  • 4S protective case for a heavy international traveler

    Hey everyone. I'm planning to get a 4S really soon. The thing is, my trusty old 3GS's had a lot of tough time with my clumsiness and carelessness and the only way it could last without having to undergo a "glass surgery" every so often was keeping it inside a case (you can't imagine the mess before I got my first case). I plan to do exactly that from day one of my 4S ownership. I did a bit of of a research on the matter and found the LifeProof Gen 2 case much to my liking, there is a big problem, though. I split my time living in two different countries and spend half a week in one country and half in another and that means I keep shuffling between two different SIM cards at least twice a week. Reviews of the case state that one downside of the case is that it can only bear so many disassemblings before it falls apart, which would make its life expentancy very low in my hands. That means I am looking for a good protective case that pleases the eye and does not add too much bulk to the phone, but also either provides easy frequent access to the Micro SIM tray or is designed to be open frequently without any short-term damage. Is there a case I could consider in my scenario? I appreciate your help guys!

    The color doesn't matter, but rather your phone type. If you have a 4S, get the newer model of Otterbox. If you have a 4, either model of Otterbox is fine.

  • Recommended leather case for 3GS with Ed Hardy clip on cover

    My girlfriend bought me one of the Ed Hardy clip on back cover's for my 16 GB iPhone 3GS.
    Unfortunately now my Knomo leather case http://store.apple.com/uk/product/TU776ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0NA&mco=MTE0MzU0NjY will not fit.
    I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good quality leather case that would fit my 3GS with it having the Ed Hardy cover on it. Here's a list of leather cases from the Apple Store UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/shopiphone/iphoneaccessories/cases?mco=MTM4MDgxMzA

    Well the pelican case is one of the protective cases like an otterbox or a lifeproof. The biggest difference is its muchhhh smaller and thinner than the other ones and has more protective qualities. Actually, I work on an ambulance and pelican makes the cases that the medications are stored in so the medicine doesn't just roll around plus in case anything happens they are super protected. Pelican isn't as popular because you can only get it through AT&T, but they are only $60 and have a 180° belt clip Unlike the otterbox ones that are vertical. Plus, they aren't slippery like otter.  Since you say you want leather, if you search on etsy for iohone 6plus leather (or something to that extent) MANY will pop up! They have everything from faux leather to different cuts of custom leather punches. youve just got to search. One Ive found that allows you to put your own belt clip on is the one I'll put link in for. If you search belt clip on that site you will find their kit.  Their basic site is mobilefun.com.  (Just in case it doesn't work, I'm still new to these threads!)

  • Trying to buy a protective case for MacBook Pro MD314B/A 13.3"

    Hi
    It's my first message on here so hope someone can help me.  I've been an Apple user for three years now and absolutely love all of their products and currently have a MacBook Air, iPad 2 and iPhone 5.
    I am trying to buy a protective cover/case for a friends son who is getting a MacBook Pro MD314B/A for his birthday but I'm having a lot of trouble trying to find one for that particular model, in all my searches (pretty exhaustive so far) all I seem to find are ones for the model A1278 none seem to be coming up for the MD314B/A model that I am wanting.
    I only have that to go by as that is all I have been given by his mum who's pretty computer and Apple savvy so I presume it's the correct information, I just can't understand why I can't find one as I it was a doddle when I found a cover for my MacBook Air.
    I know it is the 2011 model of MacBook Pro and really don't want to guess and order a wrong cover and disappoint someone on their birthday.
    I hope someone can throw some light on how to make sure I find the right one, obviously I can't check on the MacBook itself as it is all boxed up ready for the big day.
    Many thanks to you all

  • Protective Case for my Macbook Pro?

    ive been looking for a protective case (shell) for my Macbook Pro 15", but all the ones i keep finding are for the older model (black keys, 2 USB ports on the left instead of 1 like mine has etc..).
    anyone have any links to cool shell cases for my Macbook Pro?
    thanks!!
    -Sin

    Your post is very confusing, since it's the current models that have black keys and all their ports on the left side. The older models have silver keys and ports on both sides. You seem to have gotten this backwards, and you don't tell us clearly which model you have. Choose About This Mac from the Apple menu, click "More Info", and tell us what appears in System Profiler > Hardware as the Model Identifier for your MBP. It will be something like 3,1 or 5,1 — a number in that format. That will tell us what sort of MBP you need a shell for.

  • Thinest Protection Case For My Blackberry Curve 8900

    Hi, I’m after some kind of protection that I can put on my blackberry. I want to add the least bulk as possible onto my phone. Can anyone advise me on what I could buy for this? I would like something that will stay on my phone and not any kind of pocket that my phone will go into.  I would mostly like to get a plastic crystal clear case providing that they are not to bulky, so help on that or closely related would be appreciated Thanks. 

    Thanks for your reply. The cover you have recommended is nice. Do you have this case yourself or know anyone that has this? Does is add much bulk to the phone is my main concern.  Does anyone else know any very thin protection cases? Very much appreciated. Thanks.
