I figured maybe it would be a good idea rather than having 50,000 seperate threads, to have an ongoing list of accessories (mainly cases) for the V-iPhone as we find them. Hopefully it will make it easier to help everyone out.

I'll try to to keep it updated as mushc as possible as time permits...

Pretty much all screen and back protectors are good to go for the VZW iPhone. For the full body wraps (ZAGG, Ghost Armor, etc) you'll want to check.

If you want a good case and got the money get the atomic.

Here's my beef and a question about the Atomic's other than price which I could afford if I decided to spend the money.

1) I don't like the fact that you have to order extra caps to have a single colored case. So now we're talking $100 for a case.

2) Which color most closely resembles the edge of the iPhone? Silver or Gunmetal?

Here's a few that I know of that are not constantly mentioned.

Atomic Hybrid: http://www.atomiciphonecase.com/

I contacted Switcheasy as I am considering the NUDE case. They stated they will have them for the Verizon model shortly. Along with the Rebel & Vulcan: http://www.switcheasy.com/index.php

SGP Neo Hybrid EX some say it fits ok, I have written SGP and awaiting confirmation. I really like this one also: http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/apple-iphone/iphone-4/sgp-iphone-4-case-neo-hybrid-ex-series.html

Then we have the others that we probably all know about:

case-mate: http://www.case-mate.com/Verizon-iPhone-4-Cases/Verizon-iPhone-4-Cases.asp

Speck: http://www.speckproducts.com/iphone-case/verizon-iphone-4-cases.html

Anyhow, I'm sure there are many others, I just wanted to get the ball rolling. Hopefully we can keep this updated as we go.

The Element Vapor case should fit as well since its the same design as the Atomic.
http://www.shopelementcase.com/products/Vapor-Case.html

SGP's leather cases all fit
http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/apple-iphone/iphone-4-verizon.html

Euro Koncepts Carbon Fiber Backed and 100% Carbon Fiber cases fit
http://www.eurokoncepts.com/Carbon-Fiber-iPhone-4-Case_p_49.html
http://www.eurokoncepts.com/100-Full-Carbon-Fiber-iPhone-4-Case_p_75.html
(I believe both cases are made by other companies though than Euro Koncepts (DRO Concepts & monCarbone, respectively)

These two sites seem to have quite a few compatible cases

http://www.aliencase.com/iphone-cases/verizon-iphone-4-case.html?limit=all

1. Ya price does suck alot... But the design is pretty cool and doesn't compromise performance. Just like any other case you can only have 1 color unless you buy another, so basically your paying about 60$ for the delrin composite and 20 for that first cap to make it 80$. After that its the same price to change the caps as it would be to buy any other case.

2. I havent seen a picture of it with the silver cap but its probably a closer match to the iPhone's edge than the gunmetal. I've seen some pictures of the gunmetal and it looks pretty amazing but its alot darker than the iPhone's edge.

the element vapor, which is the design that atomic ripped off, offers a single colored case as well as specialty colors and textures. I think the case is the same price or less too.

I would get the vapor, because the materials and craftsman are higher quality if I was considering the atomic.

I agree the vapor and atomic are totally alike in design, but the vapor is a full aluminum case. Out of all the reviews and posts I've read comparing the two the atomic always comes out on top because of its composite hybrid delrin case, which causes no signal loss.

is not delrin just plastic though? seems like paying a premium without the substance. and as far as I have seen since the new vapor cases use padded foam, therefore the signal loss is minimal. I just watched a video comparing two iphone 4s where one had a vapor case, and there was no difference in signal strength. But YMMV.

Thanks for the info. I emailed incipio about the duroShot DRX as I think that will be my first case if it fits. I have also been considering the e13ctron S4, but I know it needs a redesign first.
 
For the moment I'm just going to put on a front and back protector and see what comes out for us shortly. I pretty much hate cases but, I always buy at LEAST one for every phone I get. May as well get the one I like the best. I'd like to get a good case that I actually like though, be nice to keep the phone in great shape for when I eventually sell it and move to the next version.

Thanks for all the input so far guys! Hopefully we can get a nice little list as time goes on.

I'll edit the Original Post as time goes on and we accumulate a list.
 
for some of the cases, People may want to keep in mind that the verizon antenna is set up slightly differently then the at&t one, so any information regarding signal loss in some of the cases may or may not be the same with the verizon phone.
 
I ordered the Incipio iPhone Double Covers - Silicone & Hard Cover - Black from Verizon ($24.99) from Verizon at the same time I ordered my 16GB iPhone. ;)

It looks like a good case, but it does not appear to work well with screen protectors. I talked to incipio this morning about the duroShot DRX, and they mentioned that the silicrylic was made specifically for the Verizon iPhone and the rest of the cases which do not currently fit or need slight adjustments to fit better should be out in a couple weeks.
 
I'm looking at getting the Pinlo Slice 3. Sent them an email asking when a Verizon version would be out and they said the beginning of the month. They need to hurry it up.

If they take longer than expected then I'm gonna get my 2nd option and that's the Incipio Feather.
 
Thanks for everyone chipping in with info. Once we get a definitive list, I'll update the very first post to reflect what we've got so far.

I ordered 2 seperate front and back protectors. YES I'm an IDIOT :). YES I do this with every phone I've had since the Razr (shudders). AND YES I ultimately remove them all and toss them and go naked:).

BUT, I paid full retail (again yes, I'm an idiot but, I hated my Droid) and IF a new version comes out that is worthy of using my actual VZW discount on, then I'll sell this so I would like to keep it in good shape.

I ordered the switcheasy Pure +. And the Power support HD- Anti glare front with the crystal back.

Maybe this'll hold me over until we see a bunch of cases rather than just jumping on one now. Maybe it'll hold me forever. Would like to protect the sides though but, don't like the Apple bumper. The e13tron is really my favorite so far and the Cygnett Contour is looking good too if I could find one.

Just wish I could find a nice bumper that replicated the look of the phone's sides, wasn't too clunky, and wasn't metal. Like a simple rubber bumper that simulated the look of the phones original metal sides. Guess I want too much.

I went with the case above. It's prime eligible on Amazon and it's around $10. I'll report back on Thursday when I get my iPhone.:D

I got the same one! I got an orange and white one together for $14 shipped. Just got here 20 minutes ago. All I need now is my iPhone... :rolleyes:

How is the quality of the case? I've read of hard cases letting debris inside them and scratching the backplate so I'm kind of worried.
 
Incipio is saying ALL of their cases, except for the Feather Clear, I think, are compatible with the Verizon iPhone. I went ahead and ordered the NGP today, as they say it will fit the Verizon version. Let's hope they're not BSing!
