Griffin Elan Holster for iPhone
I've tried out a number of different iPhone protectors/cases/holsters and the Griffin Elan Holster is my favorite so far. Yes, the iPhone has a glass touch screen, and it's remarkably scratch resistant, but I am terrified that it'll get gouged, so I want a solution that offers screen protection when I'm carrying the iPhone around.
The Elan Holster, made of leather and lined with a "no-scratch-lining" covers the screen when not in use. To use the iPhone, you pull it out of the holster. This means while you are using it, it's unprotected. If you're afraid of dropping your iPhone when you are using it, this is not for you.
I like using my iPhone without a cover or rubber sleeve, because it feels good in my hand in its naked form. When I'm done using the iPhone, I slide it back into the holster, which has a clip that can be oriented vertically or horizontally.
My friend said it looked "too old man," for his taste, but I consider that a recommendation. There are plenty of smart old men out there, and they are smart enough to use one of these to keep their iPhone's display from getting scratched. $30 from Griffin
