Protect Your iPhone With Elan Snap-In From Griffin

The release of a new device like the Apple iPhone means a whole new market of cases, protectors, sleeves and of course cell phone bling. Because of the iPhone's touch screen, the cases for the device have a unique challenge - protect the screen, but allow the user easy access to the device's functions. While there will inevitably be a small army of cases released in the near future, I have picked through the "first season" in an attempt to find the best case for my own iPhone. One of my favorites, is this Elan Snap-In from Griffin.

It's $24.99, a very small price to pay after springing for the $499+ iPhone, and protects the phone while allowing you to make calls, use the browser or listen to music. I'm pretty opposed to keeping my cell phone on my belt (really, who besides Courteney Cox or your office copy guy does that?), but the case also includes a small clip that swivels 180-degrees on your belt or bag strap.
