Best case that covers the screen for iPhone 3Gs

I want a case that guards the screen for extra protection (I've had the phone less than a month and have already dropped it once, luckily it was on carpet) The only two companies are IvySkin and Otterbox. The Ivyskin Quattro T4 looks good, but I need to make sure to justify the price. The Otterbox looks like it adds too much bulk. T4 has glass screen, the otterbox doesn't say?! Anyway, here are the pictures... let me know if you have them.

I can't speak to a all in one case but will give you my favorite combination of case /screen protecter

I have tried then all since I bought the original Iphone the weekend they came out. Now keep inmind I work in the trades and have my iPhone on job sites 6 days a week and untill I ran my 3g over with my truck ( long story) a month ago have never even scratched one.

Here's my solution

the incase slider is IMO the best hard case made. Fits great slides in and out of pocket great and you can charge it with out taking it out of the case. ( if you use a dock just dont put an adapter in and it's all cool) This case has taken 10 plus hits to the ground and pavement with out a problem.

For the screen there is not a better product then the nvisable shield from zag. It is awesome I am always puttng screw drivers and cuts into the pocket I keep my phone in with never a scratch. They are a little expensive but warrenty for life and they mean it. When I ran my phone over and had to replace it I went to zags site and they sent me a new invisable shield-free. Find the links below.

I hope this helps.

Incase: A better experience through good design.

I have the same exact set up that clayneal has mentioned. I love it. However I bought mine from best buy and it is a plain black one. But on their website you can get some pretty cool colors and be different. But yea the zagg shield was put on the first day I got my iphone. It is a must to protect it from any scratches. It works great.

I guess that's the part I forgot. I also bought mine at best buy.
