The case comes with alot of accessories, which is cool. I ordered a white one, which is pretty nice, but i would have prefered a black case, but they are completely sold out.
PROS: protects your phone, many colors available, includes lots accessories
CONS: makes the phone a little thicker, hard to get the case over the protective (glossy) film without causing bubbles.
OVERALL: This is one of the nicest cases I've seen so far. I keep mines in a generic horizontal belt pouch.

Rebel by SwitchEasy for Iphone 3G and 3GS. Pretty good case so far. Soft rubber inside and hard plastic outer shell. Near bulletproof. I searched around for several hours looking for a a good protective case for my iphone and this is the one I came up with. It was a good deal (about $25)
I had one of those hard snap on covers and I deployed to the desert. Sand got in between the hard snap on case and the iphone itself and ended up putting all these little pitmarks all over my brand new phone. Laaameee!! I would have been better off with the iphone plain nude.
The Switcheasy Rebel can take inpacts like no other phone can. The buttons still work just fine and it still slides into a pocket easily but still has a little grip so it doesnt slip out of your hand. This was a big factor for me. They did a good job at putting this one together. One of the best phone protectors I have encountered yet.
The only other one I might be happy with is the otterbox commuter I think it was called. Its not the crazy vault looking one. Its a simple design that is businessy yet durable and very functional.
Hope this review helps someone.

Heads up - I ordered the white and I got the "Arctic" one- still cool, the hard plastic is clear and the rubber is a milky transparent clear.

I purchased this case in black but apart from the color it's identical. I was expecting a lot based on the reviews and, although there's a lot of stuff that's included I was ultimately disappointing.

There are two protective membranes included but they are much more difficult to get on without bubbles than some of the other products that I tried. On my iPhone 1st gen I had no trouble getting the Marware Sportgrip membrane on. It took me a minute and the bubbles came right out. Not sure what the difference is with this one but I went through two of them and I ended up with a pretty horrible looking job.

The bottom of the case is not a very tight fit so it tends to pull away and grab on stuff and it exposes the chrome around the iPhone face.

Although less slippery than the iPhone itself, all of the materials in this case are fairly hard and smooth so they are somewhat slippery as well.

Update Jan 2009
Just wanted to add a little note (I can't update the rating): The manufacturer has been great and has replaced the case twice. It seems that the first batch had some problems with the fit at the bottom and this seems to have been resolved.

The product was excellent, just as described, and had a wonderful price tag. It is currently protecting my IPhone as I types this. The dock cover is a great addition for the paranoid on all of us. Highly recommended!!

I had bought another silicone case for my iphone and was enchanting a friend's toddler with the koi pond. She kept trying to peel back the case. As I was 8 months pregnant at the time I realized I was really going to need a more childproof case than the one I had. My husband had this case and loved it. We tried it with the toddler and she didn't even really try to pick at it--perhaps because it only goes around the outside?

It has saved my iphone from a few drops and I love the pink/fuschia color I got.

This case is really solid and durable. The protection of a hard case is nice, and the fit is great. A bit hard to get off (in those occasions where you need to), but over great. Some stuff still gets in, but it's considerably less than my old rubber case. I highly recommend this case

I have the "cherry" version of the Rebel, which is a pink and red case. I LOVE it.

It is far superior and cheaper than to the Griffin one I purchased in the Apple store.

The anti static screen guard, is not just a thin little sticker, it is plastic that sticks to your screen. I like this much better than the plastic that just slid over my screen. The picture on my screen is as clear as if there was nothing on it.

This case is not bulky but offers great protection. I was trying to hold out for the Otter defender at twice the price, but they will not be out for a month.

I decided on the Rebel and I am glad I did
I feel completely safe throwing my iphone into my purse now.

I have had this case for almost two weeks now. I love the protection that it gives my phone. It is easy to grip, but slick enough to still slide it in and out of a pocket. It does add some bulk, but most cases do. It comes with some accessories, none of which I found particularly useful. I thought I'd use the plug for the charging port, but, really I plug the phone into the computer or the car charger so often that I don't want to fuss with the tiny piece of plastic. So the accessories are somewhere in the house, being ignored. When I put the screen saver on, I loved it -- easy to go on, no bubbles. Well, then you put the case on. The edges of the case cause major bubbling in the edges of the screen saver. Fortunately, it's just at the top and the bottom, so it doesn't affect my view of the screen (unlike the cat hair that somehow got in there during application). The bubbles don't look pretty when the phone is off, but once the phone is on, I don't even notice them because the phone screen is so pretty! I still want to try the Otterbox case when they have one for the 3G iPhone, but unless it is outstanding, this will remain my case of choice.
