Hi
What options have I got to protect my Iphone from scratches, I would like something that looks nice and does not increase the size of the phone to much.
Any ideas

i think it is totally pointless protecting the SCRATCH PROOF front of the iPhone, the screen itself doesn't get scratched, my year old one was scratch free, it really is amazing how a scratch proof screen does exactly what it'll say on the tin... however the back is where it can suffer..
these hit the mark for me, they don't add on ANY bulk at all.. - http://www.gelaskins.com/0 -
I've just got some of the Iphone woollen socks, they're really funky and ideal if you just have to put your phone in your pocket and it protects it from scratches. Also it keeps the Iphone smear free. I've just ordered six more assorted colours from Ebay. I didn't like the Iphone cases and screen protectors, unneccessary I thought.A problem shared is a problem multiplied.

Another vote for the socks. We have used these for years for a couple of ipods, and 3 iphones. Recently sold the original iphone and was complimented on how pristine it still was.My TV is broken!

Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0 -

Another vote for Gelaskins they stop the scratching i have one on my ipod touch, however they won't be any help if you drop it0 -
I use a leather case for my touch, with those fantastic stick-on screen protector thingies. A must, as I dropped it in the car a few weeks ago and by some chance landed with the case open, on a sharp metal edge, screen down. Thought I'd broken it at first! Peeled the sticky thing off, and not a mark on the actual screen but the protector was !!!!!!ed. Best £1 I've spent ever.Starting Debt: ~£20,000 01/01/2009. DFD: 20/11/2009 :j
