Default Will the 1st gen iPhone accessories work with the 3g?

Will all the products for sale on here in the store more specifically the cases and car mounts fit the 3G model? Is there much of a difference in size?

The back of the iPhone is now beveled to the center, so I could imagine certain cases and mounts not fitting the new iPhone 3G properly. I would wait for cases and mounts approved for the iPhone 3G.

You wouldn't think there is. They probably don't fit as snugly though, and then you have that pesky new sensor. I'd wait for one designed specifically for 3G.

The Sena Ultraslim pouch from senacases.com is identical for the iPhone and iPhone 3G. They appear to be different, with different SKU numbers, but they are in fact the same case.

I already have one for my iPhone, ordered one for the 3G, and discovered when it arrived. Sena is sending me a pre-paid return label, and will refund the purchase plus shipping, so I can't complain.

Very interesting guys and I am glad I did not order tonight. I want a slip pocket case. I also want the lighter mount for my car. I think I will wait to see what happens. I would have thought that they would have at least put out the accessories for it by now.

I think iSkin makes the best iPhone cases. It has this dual layer design that uses plastic and silicone. I bought the iSkin Revo for the first gen iPhone and it's kept my iPhone looking like I just bought it from the store. They came out with a new iSkin for the iPhone 3G that has dual layers.

Here check it out everybody!

Does it add a lot of girth to the iPhone?

I don't know about the fuze case. But I have the iSkin Revo for the first gen iPhone and it added some bulk.

Yea I like it too. Except they took away the plastic cover to protect the screen like the iSkin Revo did. I don't understand why.
