Summary: For those of you who have actually managed to get your hands on a copy of the iPhone 4 today, it’s time to start accessorizing. Case-mate has just rolled out its first two cases: Gelli and Vroom.

For those of you who have actually managed to get your hands on a copy of the iPhone 4 today, it’s time to start accessorizing. You wouldn’t want to get that pretty gadget all messed up on the first day, now would you?

Naturally, plenty of third-party companies have been working around the clock to roll out protective cases fitted to the squarish-design of the iPhone 4. Case-mate has just rolled out its first two: Gelli and Vroom. Once you see them, you’ll understand the names.

Looking much like a tire and the perfect adornment for any race car aficionado, the Case-mate Vroom is a 100% silicone grip case with a screen protector included.

Then there’s the much more colorful Gelli style, available in six hues (teal blue, yellow, red, gray, pink and clear). Each color also comes with its own geometric pattern, which might distract from the beauty of the smartphone itself. This impact and scratch-resistant casing also includes a screen protection kit.

Case-mate is busy readying other iPhone 4 accessories, but the Vroom and Gelli cases are the first two available now for $14.99 and $19.99 respectively.
