Best thin 4S case

Another option would be the clear Switcheasy nude. Very thin but nice protection on the bottom and top and they are noted for good quality in their products. I don't have the nude one as I wanted the lip on the front so I am waiting on the Vulcan nude case.

for those of you with the griffin reveal, does the case scratch the antenna/aluminum part at all? i was gonna go with the sgp neo hybrid ex because of the rubber piece on the inside that protects it from scratches but i really like the look of the reveal.

and is the one from newegg legit and fits well with the 4s? I could only find the Reveal Case. Couldn't find the Reveal Frame

I got the Griffin Reveal and the ring that goes around the phone is rubber. No metal or hard plastic parts to scratch the antenna.

You also have to check that the Reveal you are getting is the newer one, which has an SKU of GB02356 for black. The previous SKU (GB01747) has the mute hole and volume buttons in the wrong place, since this is for the iPhone 4. I know this because I got that case originally and it didn't fit exactly on my 4S.

I don't see how plastic would scratch. I had the incase snap which was all plastic and never a scratch. I would understand if you are referring to aluminum or the like.

I'm about to pick up the one you have from Walmart.

I just want to make sure it don't loosen up and become nasty after removing/installing a couple times?

First time going with Griffen. Should be good, but if it lossens up which I doubt. It was only 15 bucks.

I've spent 30.00 + on Switcheasy and Incase.

This Griffen Reveal Frame was worth the shot! and it looks sexy...

Just picked it up...I want to use it but I only want to put it on once and I'm waiting on screen protectors to get in.

I tried one on in store and it looks sexy...but that thing was a PAIN to take off. Inside it feels like hard plastic snaps that go over...but no scratches after wrestling the thing off.

Will this work with a good screen protector? Or will it make the protector bubble and crap?

I have a crappy casemate shield while my Power Support gets here. It bubbles a bit on one side had to cut the bottom a bit. But I suspect it's because of the cheap shield. I've read threads and I don't hear any complaints on bubbling.

Ok sweet. Yeah I'll use what I have for now until my screen protectors come in. But I can't wait to pop this white case on.

It should protect any fall since the antenna is covered and theres lips going out on the front and back.

Great pick up.

Thanks for the heads up, I ordered the wrong one and now I need to send it back to Newegg.

I was looking for something that maintained as close as possible the original look. This was the one. Also the lip on the back and front are just what I needed. I don't have to worry about the camera lens making contact with any surface, the lip raises the phone enough to keep it stream lined and protected.

The clear sides reveals the beautiful antenna design. I love this freaking case.
It's just too sexy !!!
 
WillieG said:
Very nice! my only concern would be that the front is not protected, in that it doesnt have a lip to raise it from the surface when facing face down. : (

Other wise it looks sweet.
