I will say right now, the iPhone 3G’s glossy back, while pretty, is one of the biggest fingerprint magnets on the planet. One of the most famous ways to prevent fingerprints from building up is to just get a case for your phone, but we all know this is not for everyone.

I am the kind of guy that doesn’t want his fancy new iPhone looking bad because of the case. I still want it to look good, but I also want it protected. Finding a case that solves both problems can be a little hard. Let me know if you have any luck finding a solution. I already have a case and will buy a new one if I can find a better one. Here is my experience with them.

Silicone cases bother me to no end. I don’t carry my phone in my hand, I am a guy, so I don’t have a purse to keep a phone in, I keep my phone in my pocket. If you have tried to get something covered in silicone in and out of your pocket, it isn’t easy. They also collect dust and lint. Yes, I know you can just wash them, but I would rather have a case that I can just “Set it and forget it.”

I actually bought the Griffin Wave Case from Apple’s website. It is a very good case, but if you have wet hair when using your phone or sweat while on the phone, your hair will actually transfer water under the case which can be annoying at times. I also use the anti-glare screen protector. I am sorry, but I do not know who made it, or how much it cost. I don’t have the receipt and payed with cash. It is a nice case, so if you see an anti-glare one, it will probably do well. I like it cause you do not see fingerprints, and it works well in sunlight without blinding you.

I am thinking of getting a full body protection case. Something like BodyGuardz or similar. If anyone knows of a good one, let me know!
