Agreed. Also Apple accessories have turned out to be big business for many companies. They add value to the original product. Something we have yet to observe on other products.

I think Switcheasy Colors are pretty good in the pricing vs what you get. I see some shops selling them at less than RM100 (at times RM85). This should be on every owner's startup case. Then gradually build your collection from there.

Probably a little hard now since most iPhones are 3G now. You can try the traders at the garage sale section. They don't publish the item doesn't mean they don't offer it. Probably because there's no demand for iPhone 2G accessories. You can try asking them. Probably they can ask their suppliers.

Another alternative is to hit the online stores and order yourself one. Pick a reputable online stores that ship internationally.
