Belkin debuts iPhone 3G cases

Joining the wave of initial iPhone 3G accessories are a host of cases by Belkin. The high-end cases are primarily leather, leading them being the Leather Flip Folio ($35), which operates as a holster and additionally includes a pocket for extra storage; the lid fastener, meanwhile, is magnetic, letting users open the case with one hand. The Formed Leather ($30) and Eco-Conscious Formed Leather ($35) cases are more straightforward designs, without lids or clips.

Non-fabric cases include the Silicone Sleeve ($25), Micro Grip ($25) and Clear Acrylic ($30). While the Sleeve and Acrylic cases are self-descriptive, the Micro Grip uses a textured rubber exterior, meant to aid handholding.

Last in the group are the Slim Fit ($30) and the Sport Armband Plus ($30). The former is made of nylon with internal microfiber padding, and comes with a belt clip. The Armband additionally includes a key pouch and a cable capsule, and uses water-wicking material to cope with sweat.

All of the cases should launch in the US in July, with worldwide shipment happening "soon after."

These cases are sweet! I was considering getting a Marware since previously they were the only ones making them however the Leather Flip Folio looks like it's about to take the cake (for me anyways). I am curious however, since I am aware the iPhone's screen is prone to scratching, does the Leather Flip Folio have a screen cover? How about a belt clip? I know it has a home button cover and magnetic closure functions which I LOVE, but a screen protector and a clip would really sell me.

Thanks a lot for the great review! I read your blog often but I never got around to signing up to comment until now.

Nice review. Looks like Belkin simplifies the design. Other cases manufucturer stupidly have 3 holes in the topfront. LOL see http://www.sourcingmap.com/iphone-cases-c-983_1757.html
