Can anyone recommend a holster & case combo for the IPhone 4?

I just got an IPhone 4, and I would like to get a case for it along with a holster that fits the IPhone when it is in the case. I'd like for the case to protect the sides and back at a minimum. I'd also like a case that is relatively butterfinger-resistant (non slippery) and will alleviate the signal-loss issues that caused Apple to give away the free cases.

Apple's bumpers don't really protect the back, but they're quite grippy and they actually improve the phone, in my opinion. And, really, the back is a special glass that's probably tougher than a plastic case would be, so I think you're fine there. Bumpers sort-of do protect the back since they keep it from touching whatever you set the phone on (or what it collides with when dropped).

I bought bumpers for my iPhone before Apple started giving them away for free. I was quite happy with them for $29. For free? I love 'em!

As for a holster... do you mean something like this?

They also make this for the iPhone 4, but I'd prefer the version I linked to above. I'm actually thinking about buying one for mine.

Response by poster: @2oh1: Actually, I was thinking more of something like this.
