Silicone iPhone cases protect your iPhone without adding a lot of bulk. A silicone case also makes the sleek metal device a lot grippier. The tackiness of each case also prevents the iPhone from slipping out of a pocket. Best of all, we didn’t experience any overheating problems with the three cases reviewed here, all of which fit the iPhone snugly.

 You paid a whole lotta money for your iPhone, so why not invest $25 to $35 in a solid protective case for it? We’ve rounded up some of the first iPhone cases to hit the market. The type of case you want will depend on how much you’re willing to fiddle with it. For example, holsters such as the Elan Holster, Slim-Fit Case, and the HipCase won’t let you use the iPhone while it’s encased, but they do offer a means of protection. More iPhone cases are being released as you read this, so you can bet we’ll be taking a look at those too.
