apps + case suggestions?

i finally joined all the cool kids and got an iphone. so, i thought i’d turn to you, lovely readers, to gather your suggestions for apps + iphone cases. i’ve already gotten a zagg shield [my husband loves his], but i also really need some sort of protective case. one that’s discreet and not too cumbersome. any ideas? do you have one you love?

    I bought a cover and screen cover for mine from eforcity.com. They were way cheaper than Apple stores and are good quality!

    As far as Apps go, I love Echofon (Twitter), Facebook, AllRecipes, AppBox Pro (has all sorts of neat tools for cheap), TextPlus (send texts for free using WiFi), and Wurdle. :)

    I’ve heard funny things about the I Am T-Pain app haha!

    My must-have apps are Facebook, Tweetdeck, and the NPR news app. Also, yelp is super helpful if you’re in an unfamiliar city.

    I’m looking forward to seeing which cases people recommend. I had one by iFrogz and the plastic slowly crumbled into pieces over time!

    I got the elago iPhone 3G/3GS Slim Fit Case and I love it! It doesn’t add any bulk to the phone, and it’s fab!

    Well I have this case, but I’m not sure it would work for everyone: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=17345259

    My favorite apps:

    Facebook
    Wordpress (for approving comments and writing mobile posts)
    iPregnancy (seriously worth every penny when you are pregnant. I LOVE this program.)
    Twitterific
    Yelp
    Urbanspoon (awesome for when I travel and need to find places to eat)
    CrackCode
    Flood-it
    Scramble 2
    Baby Namer
    Baby Names

    get a screen protector against scratches. I put one of my own illustrations on my iphone as a sticker (I uploaded my design to skinit.com), and then I got a clear protective case from a NY street vendor. see my phone with my illustration sticker here: http://potatomammadesign.blogspot.com/2009/03/shes-alive.html

    have fun!

    I got a Moshi case but if you get one, DON’T get the white – it was permanently stained within a day and now looks like poo.

    My fave apps not mentioned above are:
    iXpenseIt
    Foursquare
    Shazam
    Cooliris
    Stanza
    Rope n’Fly (I suck at it but my husband likes it)

    Alopecia is not existence healing, but it can be bothersome.
    That’s because hair grows from a root in your scalp and
    the number of roots cannot be distorted. Thin, brittle or split hair
    takes a long time to grow because it is not healthy.
