When I got my first iPhone 3G, I ordered this DLO Leather Holster case because I wanted a way to wear it on my waistband. It was perfect! The velcro closure is easy to open one handed and the phone can be pushed up through the hole in the bottom when I answer calls. The phone slips in and out easily, especially after a few uses. When I upgraded to my iPhone 4, I was able to use the same case. I have since ordered myself a replacement as it eventually will wear out, and ordered one for my husband when he got his phone. The price is low enough that it's no big deal to replace it from time to time. I have also dropped my phone in this case and although the corners aren't padded, it still survived the fall unscathed. My husband likes it because it doesn't slip around when he bends down. It stays put on slacks quite snugly.
