I've purchased 4 different cases so far for my iPhone and so far, I'm not all that happy with 3 of them. So far the only one that I like is the Incase rubber sleeve that I picked up at the Apple store. They didn't have black at the time, so I'm stuck with this slate colored sleeve that looks more like baby blue. The color sucks, but it offers a snug fit and the rubber material is easy to grip.
Other cases I've tried but not so fond of are:
Agent 18 hard case: 2 piece case that had a snug fit, but I've read a lot of reviews about it actually scratching the back bezel of the phone. It's also very slick feeling and I was worried that I'd drop the darn thing.
iSkin Revo - Ordered online and it took forever to get here from Toronto, Canada. It's made out of a rubber type material, has a plug for the earphone jack and a small clear plastic window built in for the camera. It also comes with a plastic cover that snaps on the front protecting the touchscreen when not in use. It's pretty flimsy and it's one piece design is a pain in the patookis to get centered right on the phone. I took it off minutes after I first installed and it currently resides in my case graveyard.
Lastly I picked up a DLO case from the local AT&T store with an earbud management system built in the back of it. That case was even flimsier (is that a word?) than the iSkin Revo and a total piece of crap.
Anyone have experience with other cases? Likes/dislikes?

Re: What's your favorite iPhone Case?
I bought an el Cheapo case at KMart by a company called 'Wireless Gear' for $13 bucks and it has everything I wanted. It fits the phone like a glove, (even says for iphones on the packaging), has a magnetic latch, a heavy duty clip, fully covers/protects the phone, and mounts to belt so the phone is horizontal (not vertical which dig into my side). Made of leather too, not the best leather in I've seen, but none the less, well worth the price and covers all the bases I wanted a case to do.

Re: What's your favorite iPhone Case?
I'm in a similar boat - I've purchased 7 cases for the iphone and its all getting a bit expensive. I'm now on my eighth but I've had this one the longest and I haven't found one I prefer yet. My last one was a Sena which I liked but the leather quality is pretty cheap and comes apart. The one I have now is by far the toughest and the most elegant. Its a handmade leather pouch from New Zealand iphone pouch maker ikonicedge.com . The leather is thick and protective and the leather isn't a half leather like many. New Zealand leather and New Zealand made. Finally I have finished my shopping spree of iphone cases. This one rocks.

Re: What's your favorite iPhone Case?
After having the one I've got for a while now, I'm not too happy with it anymore, it seems to dig into my side. I'm probably going to be replacing it with another, but at least I have something for the time being.

Re: What's your favorite iPhone Case?
I have tried a couple, and the best I've used is the Elan Form Chrome from Griffin Technology
I have it that and carry it in an HTC leather case with belt clip and magnetic flap that I got a few years ago for my Cingular 8525. Fits pretty good with the Elan to make it bigger.

Re: What's your favorite iPhone Case?
Hard case or soft case? Does the soft rubber cases collect fluff from the inside of pockets? I'm torn between the two types :-(

Re: What's your favorite iPhone Case?
IMHO: I do not use a case and my iphone works fine.
No scratches, no marks.

Re: What's your favorite iPhone Case?
So what do you do, walk around carrying it in your hand? I see alot of people who walk around carrying their phone. The wind up setting it down somewhere so they can do something that requires both hands, or putting it in a pocket and ultimately sitting on it, or, dropping it out of a shirt pocket, etc. I have a friend who had the phone in his shirt pocket, and bent over, dropping it into a bowl of water. Cases range in price from the very cheap to very expensive. A cheap case that covers the entire phone is a worthy investment. I had my last phone (a v3 razr) for 3 years. I invested in a full coverage case that clips onto the case horizontally, and it kept the phone in near perfect condition. After three years of owning the phone, I ultimately gave the phone away to my brother, and when I did, it had just a few scratches, and the phone works perfectly as it did the day it was new. An iPhone is a VERY expensive phone to replace if it is broken, so, even a cheap investment of $12 or $13 bucks is way more than worth it.

Re: What's your favorite iPhone Case?
Nope, I work as a paramedic, it's always in my trousers (in a side pocket). I had four cases, (mostly 'rubber' one's by specky - they had the best grip, or so I thought.) and everyone had major disadvantages of a "plain" phone, the look, the feeling. I didn't bought a iphone to hide it's shiny appearence with a pocket.
Just my 2 cents :-)
