After reading about the Air Jacket (white) for iPhone 3G from Power Support on a Japanese blog, I decided to get one for myself too.
You can find more information about it here at its US website. Unfortunately, it seems that in US there is only the clear and black mode.
Here are my impressions:
How does it fit?
It fits nicely and protects the back. It also comes with two protective film layers - a anti-glare one and a non-anti-glare one. The film is your protection on the front.
How well does it protect the iPhone?
It protects the backside of your iPhone and exposes the bottom, the volume controls area, and the top part. The front is protected by film. So this is definitely not an all protective case if that's what you're looking for.
How does it look?
As you can see in the photo, you will notice that it resembles the previous version of Apple's wireless mouse. For the white version, you could still slightly see the Apple logo and the other text on the back. In the end, not sure if it's intentional, but you get a slight subtle gray Apple logo. It looks kind of cool.
Impressions
All the cases I've tried for iPhone and iPod touches so far have the entire case enclosing everything except the screen. This is the first time I'm using a case that exposes the front side of the iPhone. And I found that I actually prefer that because I realized the case that surrounds the screen usually gets in the way when typing.
Though not as protective, I think with the front surface exposed, it increases the usability. Typing and moving icons around are a lot easier to do.
My only gripe would be that the volume controls are hard to push as they are surrounded by the casing. See the picture below.
But overall, it looks nice, and it makes my iPhone shiny and white, and it does not add a lot of thickness, so I'm quite satisfied so far. More images below, and thanks for reading!

The front. Pardon the dust =)
And finally, the bottom.
