Default Case Recommendation For/From the Ladies?

Hi All,

A friend's wife is getting an iPhone this weekend, and she intends to keep it "flopping around in her purse", so is looking for a good case recommendation. Stylish yet sturdy, I'm guessing.

I don't use cases much, so I'm hoping someone here could recommend something and then I'll look much less ignorant next time!

Thanks!

I would recommend something like what the above suggested or a slider case that keeps the entire iPhone enclosed. I use http://store.theiphoneblog.com/belki.../4A25A2571.htm but generally keep it clipped onto my jeans. I rarely keep it in my purse. If she has a purse that's loaded with stuff, something that keeps the screen accessible may be convenient because it will take less time to answer the phone after finding it; but it may also be more dangerous for her phone. I personally prefer the naked feel when I use my iPhone so... yeah. My mom uses something similar as above and her phone has survived the depths of her purse, so it's probably fine

I've tried several cases and my favorite so far is the Seidio Innocase. And it comes in several colors. I have the burgundy. It does not add bulk to the phone and has a very nice grip to it, not slippery at all. I also have Invisible Shield on mine. It is in my pocket at work and in my gigantic handbag when out and about.

Although pricey, Vaja makes the best leather cases I have seen.

If I were she, I will prefer to some lovely color and fashion style, but not the dull black ones. Give you some suggestion, most of the woman likes pink color, may be you should ask her if she tend to have a pink color case.

This is the case I am using at the moment. I love it. It is super girly, and it is a little bulky, but i like it, I dropped it the other day and it was completely protected.
