I bought an iFrogz. I don't have my phone yet, but I really like the feel of the case. And its real light.
Anyone have pics of the ifrogz luxe for iPhone 4? It's weird that they're not on their website
Sorry I had to take the phone out of it, but it was the only camera I had with me! I don't love this case, but I love that my phone is protected while I search for another one.

Big fan of the Seidio Innocase II. Not available yet, but I'm going to hold out for it. The previous versions were superbly designed - minimalist while offering just enough protection for drops. Never comes off when dropped, etc. and the feel is just right. It's thin plastic that's rubber coated. The rubber is slick - it doesn't stick in pockets or anything.
+1 for the Seidio Innocase. I've used them on my original iPhone and my 3G, and will buy one (along with the holster) as soon as they're available. Meanwhile I'm using a bumper, which I actually like quite a bit (except for the price).
Best...A.

All I have on my phone right now is an iFrogz Luxe. I like it a lot. It doesn't add that much thickness, and the snap fits on really tight, almost too tight to get off. I ordered a 3-pack of crystal protectors from Case-Mate.
All my AT&T store had were iFrogz and Candyshells. I liked the Candyshell I had on my 3G, but it just added so much bulk I decided to try the iFrogz.

So I went to best buy yesterday and looked at the cases. They had the iFrogz Luxe, the griffin reveal and some other best buy brand ones. I ended up picking the griffin reveal and I must say this case is FANTASTIC. It's nice and sleek and fits snuggly on the phone. The top and sides are gooshy so you can click the lock button easily and the sound buttons are really responsive. It protects the back with a clear plastic sheet so it doesn't look like a case is taking over the look of your phone. Basically it's like the apple bumper but with back protection.
Either way I am very pleased with this case and HIGHLY recommend it for 24 bucks..

Also apparently from other posts. You will need to take a marker(sharpie) around the camera hole portion of the case to stop the case from affecting the flash.
Just wanted to get some opinions or suggestions from anyone that may have bought a case or going to buy a case for their iPhone 4.
The OtterBox ones look pretty good. Could use color options though..
Does the OtterBox Defender have a screen protector attached to the case or is it something u have to install? I can't install those for the life of me.

I ordered two of the napa leather cases because my husband likes leather, slip-on cases for durability, and this case looks really, really nice on my brother's iTouch. I engraved my name on one of the leather cases.

I should add within five minutes of ordering it, they already sent me tracking for the shipment.

I'm pretty sure the face is open on the defender. As for installing protector shields, the only brand I have had success with zero bubbles is the zagg invisible shield because you use water and a squeegee to apply it.
Going with the otterbox defender once it is out. Used the defender on my 3gs and was my favorite case. Adds bulk but with my work I need something a little more rugged. As for a protective cover on the otterbox the answer is yes. However, I have found that when using the otterbox it will makes the screen look "bubbly." To fix it I use powersupport anti-glare and makes the screen perfect. Just my opinion.
FWIW, I picked up the Belkin Grip Vue for the 4 (clear) at Best Buy (had a $25 coupon so it cost me very little) and like it. Definitely fits the phone nicely and protects it fully... edge pops nicely over the edge of the screen to give a nice protective lip. It does not add that much bulk/thickness to the phone at all and feels more secure in my hand. I'll add a crystal screen to the screen once they are available and be 100% covered.
Best buy said they will install the Zagg for $8 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ZAGG+-+InvisibleSHIELD+Screen+Protector+for+Apple%26%23174%3B+iPhone%26%23174%3B+4+-+Clear/1032816.p?id=1218211701361&skuId=1032816
Do you think that product will mess up the touch screen or the colors?
Also do you think I should swap out the case for Grip Vue for another case? What would be better for the camera problem? Thanks
