This is my first case for my iPhone 4 (my first iPhone, as well).

I wanted a case that didn't take away from the sleek look of the iPhone 4, and preened diligently through Amazon.com.  At first, I wanted a temporary cheap-o case 'cause I planned on purchasing the Otterbox Impact when it finally released.  I don't remember exactly how I stumbled upon this one, but after being discouraged by the plethora of knock-offs on eBay, I wanted a decent-looking one with somewhat of a return policy, so I ordered this one.

It's a great case, and the material doesn't have much of that "rubbery" feel that I've encountered on other silicone-type cases.  The only other case I own for an Apple portable gadget is the iSkin for my iPod Video, and, though it's a fantastic case, the material makes it so it's a hassle to get it out of my pocket.  Not so with this case.
It has a slight stick to it, but not where I have to slide my whole hand in my pocket to remove my iPhone.  The argyle pattern is very nice, and only adds to the design.  To be honest, I think it makes my iPhone 4 look even better.

In terms of protection, I don't really expect this to hold up against nasty drops.  I haven't dropped my phone yet, but the case is pretty thin and I'm afraid it won't hold.  Only time will tell.
The only other issue I have is that the nibs for the volume and hold buttons get a little indented, but it's really not that big a deal.  The case covers all but the dock port, speaker/microphone, headphone jack, silent button, and rear camera and flash.

I'm still considering ordering the Otterbox, but this case makes the aesthetic that much more wonderful that I'm reconsidering making this my primary case.  I've already gotten compliments on it, and may have inspired some others to make this one of their iPhone 4 case purchases.
