Question Hard Case - White iPhone Look-a-like?

First Off, I would like to say “Hello!” to Everyone here at MacRumors!!! I am brand new to the site and I will mostly be asking questions…

Today, I am going to drive on down to the local Verizon Wireless Store and purchase my first iPhone. I am going to go ahead with the Verizon iPhone 16GB – White.

I am looking for a Hard Case to snap onto the back that is not clear, but looks the same as the back of the White iPhone. I want the back of the case to look like the back of the actual iPhone itself, with the Apple Logo and the writing at the bottom of the phone. Does anyone know of any of these types of cases??? I am very particular and am looking for a good quality plastic or some other type of hard case. I am not a fan of the rubber type cases.

Thanks for Reading and I appreciate all Feedback…

Thanks,

CM

P.S. – Just out of Curiosity, any Date for the iPhone 5 yet ??? All I have heard is Fall 2011..??? ☺

Welcome to Macrumors

As for your case, this may be a viable choice.

I love this case because it's even thinner than my bumper or vapor pro and it shows off the phone very well. When I had my black iPhone I liked the black frost version of it as well. Only thing I don't like is the obvious black ring around the camera / flash but I'll deal with it.

And no, it does not scratch or show fingerprints AT ALL!

The Apple logo and writing at the bottom may be hard to see, but it is a very clean, durable, and slim case for the iPhone 4. The only issue with it is its price, which is $35.

mattdo: I am now planning on going and trying to find a Clear Case... I found one that looks like something I might be interested in... Switch Easy makes a case Called NUDE - Ultra Clear. I am going to go down to the Apple Store today and take a look at cases and External Batteries.

kicko: Thanks, I think I might go with a Clear Case Now...



Anyone have any ideas as far as good Clear Cases, rather then the White Case I was looking for above ???

Thanks Again for All Feedback,

CM

I have this case and it is very cheaply made. It will give the vibe of a white iPhone. The fonts are a little off. But if you just want to keep it cheap this is the case.

I've seen bad reviews on the Switcheasy NUDE, so be careful.

mattdo93: So I walked into my local Apple Retail Store and told them about the NUDE Clear Case I wanted and they pretty much told me exactly what you just said... I don't want that one... They sold me a Contour Clear Case, and I LOVE it !! Highly Recommended !!!

http://retail.contourdesign.com/?/products/85

Check it out !!! Great Case !!!

I also got a Matte Screen protector and it went on flawlessly !!! My iPhone is getting close to being complete.. Still looking for a small, good, and cheap external battery... Any ideas ???

Thanks,
CM

I'm not sure how cheap you're looking to go, but these are probably the best out there.

fully recharge the iPhone 3 times, extending your talk time by up to 36 hours, standby time by up to 900 hours, Internet use by up to 26 hours, video playback by up to 30 hours and audio playback by up to 80 hours.
$69.99 - HyperJuice Micro
Looking at some of the pictures, I'm not sure how small they are. I guess it depends on how big that chick's hands are. I'm sure it would be pretty "micro" if I got my hands on it though.

Whenever I see good, cheap I just laugh - then I see that you're also asking for small and I just died. It's like people asking for the iPhone to cost $49. It's hard to making good things cheap, and making it small is even harder.

I would go with the mophie powerstation. Its not cheap though

By placing a shining and attractive Apple logo at the back side of the phone. And white iPhones are rarely use by people so it looks decent and attractive. And use hard and smooth screen paper for the protection of screen. So you can enjoy the flawless touch of iPhone.
