I could be making a rookie mistake but my pictures with the flash looked washed out whether it's day or night. I have a Otter Defender case so I'm not sure if thats it. Anyone else?

My pictures look fine but I haven't taken that many pictures yet. I have the flash set to auto so make sure yours is on that.
 
Edit: my issue was created by myself. :eek:
I had a back shield skin from my Droid X I never used. I cut it up to fit the iPhone while my shields were in transit and got too close to the LED flash. I measured it, it was about 1/16" of an inch away from the flash and still affected it. Pretty interesting tbh. I cut it back a little more and got the results I was hoping for in a cell phone. This was taken in a dark corner of my office.
