Very snug fit, bottom 1/4th removes for docking, and can be used with their holster. You would still need to provide screen protecters, but the rest of your phone would be protected.

I looked and see they also have a 'Hip Case', but I know I have no desire to hip-mount a phone anymore (the fun days of cell phone, pager and PDA all mounted in a row on my belt are long gone!)

My current case is the Innocase II Surface case from Seidio and the Seidio produced spring-loaded clip holster.

The case has a rubbery, slip-free feel and only adds centimeters to the iPhone's dimensions. And the holster has been rock-solid, only faltering once which no holster or belt clip would have survived.

All in all, I am pleased with my Seidio case and holster and would recommend the case, which comes in 5 different colors.

Now, with that all said, a screen protector was purchased seperately for the screen, but are also available from Seidio's website.

I like the case a lot, it comes in lots of colors (I went boring and got white) and doesn't allow a lot of dust in between the case and the phone. There are also rubber strips on the inside to help protect the phone against scratches from stuff on the inside. One thing I have noticed is that the white one is made of white plastic, so small scratches are not that noticeable, but a co-worker has the black version, and it is painted black, so the black has started to peel...

Have one on my Touch as well and it works great. I'm using an Otterbox iPhone 3G Impact — it's thinner than some of the other Otterbox and I find that it offers near perfect protection.
