Where can I get a super slim iPhone case, similar to the case that shipped with the first generation iPod nano?

Anyone remember that case? It was a little white slipper case that they started shipping w/ the nanos after the numerous reports of prolific scratching. The controls could not be accessed inside the case, but that is fine w/ me. I loved how thin it was, and I work in a wood shop, so I'm looking for something that will help keep the dust away.

It's not a case specifically, but I love the skins the guys over at bestskinsever make. They're so much cheaper than the alternatives, they're literally paper thin, and have protected my iPhone beautifully (as well as my previous creative mp3 player, my DS, and my boyfriend's razr). I just replaced my iPhone's skin after a year (to go with 3.0; it's like a new phone now!) but $7 a year isn't too bad a investment, in my books.

If you have some time to spend making a decision you may want to check out itsmemorphious on youtube. He makes the most entertaining, insanely in-depth iphone case reviews.

Zagg makes the Invisible Shield which may or may not suit your needs. I've seen it on a phone, and you really can't tell it's there (other than the corners, but that may depend on how well you apply it)

Fire&Wings is right on with the itsmemorphious mention - they're almost painfully in depth, but here's his top 5.

I sort-of remember those. You could check out the socks which will give you a similar level of dust protection. Oddly, they're also an official Apple product.
