If you’re looking for the slimmest case for your iPhone 3GS, look no further than the Incipio Feather case. It comes in a variety of colors and doesn’t add too much bulk to your phone like other cases on the market. Does it sacrifice protection for style? Is it worth the cost? Read on after the break.

Sure, there are many cases out there that snap on the back of your phone, whether they’re silicone skins or hard cases, but our latest favorite of the mix is the Feather case from Incipio. It’s a 1mm thick soft-touch plastic shell that comes in thirteen different colors, ranging from black to magenta. It’s the only one we’ve seen this simple that offers nearly complete bezel protection, keeping your bezel scratch free. The only fully exposed area of the iPhone with the case attached is the dock connector, speaker and microphone. As with many cases, you have access to the volume rocker, vibrate switch, headphone jack and sleep/wake button.

There isn’t a lot to say about such a simple case, but it protects and does the job well. You also won’t be disappointed with the extras included: two screen protectors and a cleaning cloth. In our tests, the screen protector went on fairly easy and without air pockets visible. Installation also goes smoother if you use the included squeegee.

Nevertheless, there are a few trade-offs by using such a simple case. You’re not going to get as much shock protection as you would with something like the Speck CandyShell which uses both a plastic and soft rubber layer. An added bonus however is that the cases come with a lifetime warranty, so if yours breaks, you’re in good luck.

Overall though, if you’re looking for a slim and nearly unnoticeable case for your brand new iPhone 3G or 3GS, the Incipio Feather is perfect for you.
