How do you protect your iPhone?

yus786

Buying my first iPhone on Thursday. Never ever have i spent so much on a phone, but hey it's an iPhone.

Interested to find out what your guys have to protect your iPhone? What kind of screen protection, skin, case etc

Thanks

To me a mobile phone is a tool that does a job and is not something to be cosseted and wrapped in cotton wool.

I find that protective wallets, stick on screen protectors and other such things tend to either get in the way of actually using the device or make it more difficult to use.

I tend to use "common sense" measures like not keeping my keys in the same pocket as my phone, not leaving it somewhere where it will get dropped etc are the best route to follow.

I use an Incase Slider case:

Fits like a glove and does a good job of protecting the phone from drops, without making it harder to use. There's a lip around the front face that protects the screen if it falls on to the ground (which it has done twice, and I'm sure the screen would have been cracked without the case). I don't have a screen protector - seems a shame to cover up such a great touchscreen. I've had the phone for seven months, and the screen still looks as-new (as boliston suggests, I never keep keys in the same pocket, but that's just common sense really!)

Nothing. I agree with post #2 - they are to use, not to look at. It is not in bad shape considering - but obviously don't stick it in a pocket with your keys.

I have one of these and these from Proporta. Case has already withstood a bashing when I dropped it and I love the mirrored screen protector -Girly thing and means I don't have to carry a mirror around with me.

Haven't got any bubbles or scratches and is still very touch sensitive:D

I bought the Iphone from day 1 and when the 3g came out I bought that as well. I haven't bought the 3g s because the 3g is good enough for me, and I have to say with all the apps available its fantastic, and over the last few years the inevitable happened I dropped it a number of times and touch wood it didn't affect the phone at all, its quite robust!! and I have never had any protection for the phone I didn't even buy condoms there is an app for that Lol So go for it because its a dream machine.
