So we get a lot of iPhone 3G cases. And it seems a shame to clog up the pages of magazine after magazine with them, when we can devote those pages to hard-hitting features, helpful how-tos, and reviews of things that are actually used with your Mac. 

Still, cases are very important. Your iPhone 3G is pretty and wonderful and deserves to be protected. So your faithful friends at Mac|Life will review every case that crosses our desks (unless they accidentally fall into the dark messy abyss of boxes and styrofoam peanuts below; then all bets are off), and link all the reviews here for your convenience. That's how much we love you!
