Yea as stringfellow said, the point of the case is to protect the phone so it is inevitable that the case suffers from scratches unless you use a leather or silicon casing of course. Better have scratches on the case than on your 3000 ringgit phone right? I guess one could always buy an InvisibleShield type of coating and cut it to fit just enough of the plastic case area which always comes into contact with the surface when you lie your phone down. Too anal though if you ask me.

I use a black Capsule Rebel (for iPhone 3G) myself and after only 2 weeks use, it already looks slightly scuffed. When I'm out, I rarely leave it lying around on any surface but when at home I always try to lay it on a microfiber cloth but the phone comes in and out of my jeans pocket very often.

Speaking of the Capsule Rebel, I highly recommend it. Very good case for everyday use. Not bulky. Has a nicely balanced grip and no trouble getting it out of jeans pocket unlike a full silicon case. There is an accurate and detailed review of it at iLounge. I'm still looking around for a nice leather case though (like the one Belkin offers) for more formal settings.

mm...I don't have a problem with the headphone jack on my Rebel yet. Most of my headphone connectors are similar in size/design to the headphone supplied by Apple. I wonder why they left out the headphone jack protector in the Rebel though...

Potion, not so easy to crack one la.

3 cases eh =Hanxz= ...hehe...must been some fatal drops. I dropped mine 'once' (touch wood) so far while getting out of the car. My aifontriji slid 10 feet screen side down on rough cement floor. My heart nearly stopped hah...lucky for the rebel casing. I mean heck the casing is worth the money compared to the price of the phone.

That Element Case 'looks' really heavy duty but looking at the specs, it doesn't quite match up in features. Original idea but at that price of US$100+ per case, I don't think I'd be using one of those anytime soon. Perhaps if they came up with features that really were useful for the outdoors or extreme conditions like shock, water, dust resistant then maybe it can not only look the part but work the part as well.

Yea...same here. I don't run but the case actually looks pretty decent.
