Be Smart

The fact that I don't actually own a 3G iPhone - yet - hasn't kept me from buying, testing, or sampling all of the new accessories. (Sadly, I am limping along with my "old" iPhone until the lines diminish at my local Apple store.)

The new 3G cases from Griffin are some of my favorites, especially since a few of them, such as the Nu Form, feature the EasyDock solution, a clever new way to dock your phone without taking the entire case off. The bottom section just slides off and on for charging and syncing.

Made of a 2-piece shatter-proof polycarbonate shell, it snaps around your iPhone, giving you plenty of protection while still allowing full access to all the controls. Available in black or white, it's $24.99 at Griffin and Amazon.
