Griffin Technology has introduced several new cases for the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and second-generation iPod touch. Griffin claims its new Reveal case for the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and iPod touch 2G is its thinnest case yet, adding just over a millimeter to the thickness of the device. Made from low-profile polycarbonate, it features a one-piece design, slim rubber accents for added cushioning, open access to all ports and controls, and an included screen protector. It sells for $25. The Elan Form with Sky Blue trim for the iPhone 3G and 3GS is a two-piece, form-fitting hard case featuring Griffin’s EasyDock slide-off bottom, top-grain leather covering its polycarbonate frame, and an included screen protector. It is priced at $30.
The Elan Passport Metal for the iPod touch 2G also features a folio-style design, with a horizontally-opening flap, leather construction with microsuede lining, metal accents, and an included screen protector and cleaning cloth. It sells for $35. Finally, the FlexGrip for the iPod touch 2G is made from two-tone silicone, and offers a textured back for added grip, open access to all ports and controls, and an included screen protector. It sells for $20; all of Griffin’s new cases for the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPod touch 2G are available now.

Does anyone know is any iPhone 3G case will fit the 3G S??? I want to buy a Griffin iClear for my 3G S.

i dont think the problem is whether the case will fit, it appears to be exactly the same on the exterior as the regular 3g, the one thing that is not clear is whether or not all sensors (the ones to the left of the ear piece under the glass) are in the exact same place as the old phone. for some cases it doesnt matter, for others it does.

Bought 3G S yesterday. Tried using my leather Sena case from my original iPhone. It fit well, but when using the phone it caused the screen to go black and you couldn’t tell if you were still on The call or not. Sensors must be different from original iPhone.
